First Claim
1. A method of performing proximity discovery, used by a network entity, the method comprising:
- receiving a discovery request message comprising a Proximity-based Services (ProSe) application identifier (ID) and a User Equipment (UE) identity, wherein the ProSe application ID indicates a target group of the UE identity;
obtaining a discover code for performing the proximity discovery according to the ProSe application ID by assigning a ProSe application code according to a discovery combination of an announcing UE corresponding to the target group of the UE identity in response to obtaining the ProSe application code for a restricted discovery, wherein the discover code is the ProSe application code of the announcing UE, and the discovery code combination comprises the ProSe application code of the restricted discovery, a ProSe application code of a monitoring UE, and a ProSe application mask; and
transmitting a discovery response message comprising the discovery code in response to receiving the discovery request message.
