Prose discovery wireless device identifier updating

A method implemented by a core network node, the method comprising:

• receive an indication, via control plane signaling, associated with a wireless device, the indication indicating whether to update a ProSe discovery identifier associated with the wireless device;
• one of update and refrain from updating the ProSe discovery identifier based at least on the received indication;
• and
• transmit the updated ProSe discovery identifier if the ProSe discovery identifier was updated.

A wireless device comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• determine whether to update a ProSe discovery identifier associated with the wireless device;
• transmit, via control plane signaling, an indication associated with the wireless device based on the determination, the indication indicating whether to update the ProSe discovery identifier;
• and
• receive an updated ProSe discovery identifier if the indication indicated to update the ProSe discovery identifier.
