1. A method of handling device to device communication for a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- establishing a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection to a network of the wireless communication system;
receiving a first RRC message indicating to the first UE to use a first data radio bearer (DRB) for a proximity-based services (ProSe) communication with a second UE of the wireless communication system, wherein the first DRB is different from a second DRB for communication between the first UE and the network;
transmitting a first buffer status and a second buffer status to the network, wherein the first buffer status indicates a status of an uplink buffer of the first UE used for the first DRB, and the second buffer status indicates a status of an uplink buffer of the first UE used for the second DRB;
receiving, from the network, a first uplink grants for the ProSe communication and second uplink grants for communication between the first UE and the network; and
transmitting data of the first DRB by using the first uplink grants and transmitting data of the second DRB by using the second uplink grants;
wherein the first uplink grants and the second uplink grants are not in the same subframe.

4. A method of handling device to device communication for a network in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
-
establishing an Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection to a first user equipment (UE); transmitting a first RRC message indicating to the first UE to use a first data radio bearer (DRB) for a proximity-based services (ProSe) communication with a second UE of the wireless communication system, wherein the first DRB is different from a second DRB for communication between the first UE and the network; receiving a first buffer status and a second buffer status from the first UE, wherein the first buffer status indicates a status of an uplink buffer of the first UE used for the first DRB, and the second buffer status indicates a status of an uplink buffer of the first UE used for the second DRB; and scheduling first uplink grants of the ProSe communication with the second UE and second uplink grants of communication between the first UE and the network for the first UE; wherein the first uplink grants and the second uplink grants are not in the same subframe. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
