METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EXPRESSION USE DURING D2D COMMUNICATIONS IN A LTE BASED WWAN
First Claim
1. A method of communications, comprising:
- receiving, by a mobility management entity (MME), a request from a first user equipment (UE) to establish a communication link with a second UE based on a first expression pair;
determining whether the first UE and the second UE can use a first context associated with a previously established communication link based on a previously used expression pair; and
providing at least a portion of information associated with the first context to the first UE upon a determination that the first UE and the second UE have the first context.

Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with use of expressions with D2D communications in a LTE based WWAN. In one example, a MME is equipped to receive a request from a first UE to establish a communication link with a second UE based on a first expression pair, determine whether the UEs can use a first context associated with previously used expression pair, and provide information associated with the first context to the first UE. In another example, a UE is equipped to send a connection request, to its MME, to establish a communication link with a second UE based on a first expression pair, receive at least a portion of information associated with a first context between the UEs based on a previously used expression pair, and establish the communication link with the second UE using the received information.
