1. A method for communication in a wireless telecommunications system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE), configuration information specifying at least one transmission opportunity in which the UE is to transmit a first reference signal and further specifying at least one parameter applicable to the transmission of the first reference signal; and
transmitting, by the UE, the first reference signal in the specified transmission opportunity;
wherein the configuration information is received via at least one of radio resource control signaling or medium access control signaling, and wherein the transmission opportunity occurs as one of a single transmission opportunity or a portion of a pattern of transmission opportunities.

Abstract
A method for communication in a wireless telecommunications system is provided. The method comprises receiving, by a first UE, a reference signal transmitted by a second UE and transmitting, by the first UE to a network node, a report indicating that the reference signal was received. The reference signal is received in a detection opportunity that occurs as one of a single detection opportunity or a portion of a pattern of detection opportunities.

22. A network node comprising:
-
a transmission component configured such that the network node transmits, to a first user equipment (UE), configuration information specifying at least one transmission opportunity in which the first UE is to transmit a reference signal and further specifying at least one parameter applicable to the transmission of the reference signal; a reception component configured such that the network node receives, from a second UE, a report indicating that the second UE received the reference signal from the first UE; and a processing component configured such that the network node determines, based on the report, that the first UE is in the proximity of the second UE. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
