Method and apparatus for performing direct communications in wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method of performing direct communications in a network of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- configuring a first communication device to enter a direct communication mode by transmitting a first mode configuration information according to a mode change information; and
configuring a second communication device to enter the direct communication mode by transmitting a second mode configuration information according to the mode change information;
wherein the first communication device and the second communication device respectively have a first radio resource control (RRC) connection and a second RRC connection with the network;
wherein the mode change information comprises at least one of a discovery report indicating the second communication device received from the first communication device, and a request or notification received from an evolved packet core or generated by the network.
