Method and apparatus for unifying proximity services groups in wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method for unifying, by a first user equipment (UE) which is a group owner of a first proximity services (ProSe) group, ProSe groups in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving measurement results with respect to a second UE which is a group owner of a second ProSe group, from members of the first ProSe group;
determining ProSe group unification of the first ProSe group and the second ProSe group based on at least one of the received measurement results, priorities of the first UE and the second UE, or priorities of the first ProSe group and the second ProSe group;
if it is determined to perform ProSe group unification, determining a new group owner of a unified ProSe group with the second UE; and
transmitting information on the ProSe group unification to members of the first ProSe group.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for unifying proximity services (ProSe) groups in a wireless communication system is provided. A first user equipment (UE), which is a group owner of a first proximity services (ProSe) group determines ProSe group unification of the first ProSe group and the second ProSe group based on at least one of the measurement results, priorities of the first UE and a second UE which is a group owner of a second ProSe group, or priorities of the first ProSe group and the second ProSe group. If it is determined to perform ProSe group unification, the first UE determining a new group owner of a unified ProSe group with the second UE, and transmits information on the ProSe group unification to members of the first ProSe group.

11. A first user equipment (UE) which is a group owner of a first proximity services (ProSe) group in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and a processor coupled to the RF unit, and configured to; receive measurement results with respect to a second UE which is a group owner of a second ProSe group, from members of the first ProSe group; determine ProSe group unification of the first ProSe group and the second ProSe group based on at least one of the received measurement results, priorities of the first UE and the second UE, or priorities of the first ProSe group and the second ProSe group; if it is determined to perform ProSe group unification, determine a new group owner of a unified ProSe group with the second UE; and transmit information on the ProSe group unification to members of the first ProSe group. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
