b) shall include a Content-Type header field set to "application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml";
c) shall include an application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml MIME body with a <session-oriented-termination-info> element in the <VAE-info> root element which shall include a <session-id> element set to the session identifier of the session-oriented service that is to be terminated; and
d) shall send the HTTP POST request towards the VAE-C according to IETF RFC 7231 [19].
6.14 Switching modes of operations for V2V communications procedure
6.14.1 Client procedure
Upon receiving an HTTP POST request message containing:
a) a Content-Type header field set to "application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml"; and
b) an application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml MIME body with an <communication-status-info> element;
the VAE-C shall generate an HTTP 200(OK) response message according to procedures specified in IETF RFC 7231 [19]. In the HTTP 200(OK) response, the VAE-C:
a) shall set the Request-URI to the URI included in the received HTTP response for the V2X service discovery procedure (see clause 6.6);
b) shall include a Content-Type header field set to "application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml";
c) shall include an application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml MIME body with a <communication-status-info> element included in the <VAE-info> root element which:
1) shall include a <V2X-UE-id> element set to the identity of the V2X UE;
2) shall include a <V2V-communication-mode> element indicating which V2V communication mode supported by the V2X UE;
3) may include a <V2X-service-id> element corresponding to the communication status;
4) may include a <cell-info> element indicating the cell information of which the V2X UE is located; and
5) may include a <communication-link-status-info> element indicating the communication status of the V2X UE; and
d) shall send the HTTP 200(OK) response towards the VAE-S according to IETF RFC 7231 [19].
6.14.2 Server procedure
In oder to provide the assistance for V2V communication mode switching, the VAE-S may have acquired the application requirement from the V2X application specific server and may generate an HTTP POST request according to procedures specified in IETF RFC 7231 [19]. In the HTTP POST request, the VAE-S:
a) shall set the Request-URI to the URI corresponding to the identity of the V2X UE;
b) shall include a Content-Type header field set to "application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml";
c) shall include an application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml MIME body with a <communication-status-info> element in the <VAE-info> root element which:
1) shall include a <V2X-UE-id> element set to the identity of the V2X UE; and
2) may include a <V2X-service-id> element set to the identity of the V2X service being requested; and
d) shall send the HTTP POST request towards the VAE-C according to IETF RFC 7231 [19].
Based on the reception of the network monitoring information from the 3GPP network or the communication status information from the <communication-link-status-info> element of an HTTP 200(OK) response, the VAE-S may generate an HTTP POST request according to procedures specified in IETF RFC 7231 [19]. In the HTTP POST request, the VAE-S:
a) shall set the Request-URI to the URI corresponding to the identity of the V2X UE;
b) shall include a Content-Type header field set to "application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml";
c) shall include an application/vnd.3gpp.vae-info+xml MIME body with a <V2V-communication-assistance-info> element in the <VAE-info> root element which:
1) shall include a <V2X-UE-id> element set to the identity of the V2X UE;
2) may include a <V2X-service-id> element set to the identity of the V2X service corresponding to the recommendation information; and
3) shall include a <V2V-communication-assistance> element indicating the assistance information for V2V communication mode switching to the V2X UE; and
d) shall send the HTTP POST request towards the VAE-C according to IETF RFC 7231 [19].
