Claims18
A method for implementing ProSe (Proximity Services) in a UE (User Equipment), comprising:
- using ProSe communication with direct mode data path;
- and
- sending a request to an eNB (evolved Node B) to establish ProSe communication with locally-routed data path.
A method for implementing ProSe (Proximity Services) in an eNB (evolved Node B), comprising:
- establishing ProSe communication with locally-routed data path for a UE when receiving a request from the UE that is using ProSe communication with direct mode data path.
A communication device to implement ProSe (Proximity Services) in a UE (User Equipment), the communication device comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to:
- use ProSe communication with direct mode data path;
- and
- send a request to an eNB (evolved Node B) to establish ProSe communication with locally-routed data path.
