Ue configuration method, network side device and system for proximity awareness

A method of configuring a receiving User Equipment (UE) for proximity awareness, the method comprising:

• receiving and storing, by a network side device, subscription information of a UE transmitted by a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), wherein the subscription information carries respective types of services to which the UE subscribes;
• determining, by the network side device, a filter template of service identifiers corresponding to the respective types of services to which the UE subscribes according to a preset mapping relationship between the service identifiers and the types of services, wherein the filter template of service identifiers is configured to filter respective service identifiers carried in a proximity awareness message received by the UE via an air interface, and the filter template of service identifiers comprises at least a list of service identifiers;
• and
• transmitting, by the network side device, the filter template of service identifiers to a base station so that the base station configures the UE with the filter template of service identifiers.

A network side device, comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive and store subscription information of a User Equipment (UE) transmitted by a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), wherein the subscription information carries respective types of services to which the UE subscribes;
• a determining unit configured to determine a list of service identifiers of the respective types of services to which the UE subscribes according to a preset mapping relationship between the service identifiers and the types of services and to allocate a temporary device identifier to the UE;
• and
• a transmitting unit configured to transmit the list and the temporary device identifier to a base station so that the base station configures the UE with the list and the temporary device identifier.

A network side device, comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive and store subscription information of a User Equipment (UE) transmitted by a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), wherein the subscription information carries respective types of services to which the UE subscribes;
• a determining unit configured to determine a filter template of service identifiers corresponding to the respective types of services to which the UE subscribes according to a preset mapping relationship between the service identifiers and the types of services, wherein the filter template of service identifiers is configured to filter respective service identifiers carried in a proximity awareness message received by the UE via an air interface, and the filter template of service identifiers comprises at least a list of service identifiers;
• and
• a transmitting unit configured to transmit the filter template of service identifiers to a base station, which configures the UE with the filter template of service identifiers.
