Method and Apparatus for Providing Routing
First Claim
1. A method for use in a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving an indication comprising a cell identifier (ID) list that includes one or more cell IDs with which a local routing path is capable of being established;
determining whether a cell ID of a second UE is on the cell ID list; and
in an instance in which the cell ID of the second user equipment is on the cell ID list, causing an indication to be provided for establishment of the local routing path for communication, the local routing path being between a first cell, the first cell serving the first UE, and a second cell, the second cell serving the second UE, and communication being between the first UE and the second UE.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program for providing an indication of network capability or providing data routing. An example method for use in a user equipment may comprise receiving an indication comprising a cell identification (ID) list that includes one or more cell IDs with which a local routing path is capable of being established, determining, with a processor, whether a cell ID of a second UE is on the cell ID list, a cell of the second STA having been identified, and in an instance in which the cell ID of the second STA is on the cell ID list, causing an indication for establishment of the local routing path for communication, the local routing path being between a first cell, the first cell serving the UE, and a second cell, the second cell serving the second UE, and communication being between the UE and the second UE.

22. An apparatus for controlling a fist user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising a processing system which comprises circuitry and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the processing system is arranged to cause the first user equipment to at least:
-
receive an indication comprising a cell identifier (ID) list that includes one or more cell IDs with which a local routing path is capable of being established; determine whether a cell ID of a second UE is on the cell ID list; and in an instance in which the cell ID of the second UE is on the cell ID list, cause an indication to be provided for establishment of the local routing path for communication, the local routing path being between a first cell, the first cell serving the first UE, and a second cell, the second cell serving the second UE, and communication being between the first UE and the second UE. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34)

-
identify one or more cell identifiers (ID) capable of establishing of a local routing path; and provide an indication to one or more user equipments (UE) in a cell, the indication comprising one or more cell IDs with which the cell is capable of establishing a local routing path for communication. - View Dependent Claims (37, 39, 41, 43)
