19.1.5.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 24.334, clauses 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.3, TS 36.331, clauses 5.2.2.4, 5.2.2.25, 5.10.1a, 5.10.3, 5.10.4. Unless otherwise stated these are Rel-12 requirements.

[TS 24.334, clause 5.1.1]

The service authorisation for ProSe direct discovery and ProSe direct communication determines whether the UE is authorised to use ProSe direct discovery announcing or ProSe direct discovery monitoring or both, and to use ProSe direct communication, in a particular PLMN or when not served by E-UTRAN. In this release of the specification, ProSe direct communication is supported only for Public Safety ProSe-enabled UE. The service authorisation is either:

1) pre-configured in the UE. The pre-configured service authorisation may be stored in the ME, or in the USIM as specified in 3GPP TS 31.102 [17], or in both the ME and the USIM. If both the ME and the USIM contain the same parameters, the values stored in the USIM shall take precedence. The UE shall not use the pre-configured service authorisation if the contents of the USIM indicate that the UE is not authorised to use them (see 3GPP TS 31.102 [17]); or

[TS 24.334, clause 5.1.2]

The IP address of the ProSe function in the HPLMN may be pre-configured in the UE and in this case, the UE may use the pre-configured IP address. Alternatively, the FQDN of the ProSe Function in the HPLMN may be self-constructed by the UE, i.e. derived from the PLMN ID of the HPLMN. The UE may perform DNS lookup as specified in IETF RFC 1035 [10].

[TS 24.334, clause 10.2.1]

One-to-many ProSe direct communication is applicable only to ProSe-enabled Public Safety UEs. One-to-many ProSe direct communication can only apply when the UE is:

a) served by E-UTRAN and authorised for ProSe direct communication in the registered PLMN;

b) not served by E-UTRAN, and authorised for ProSe direct communication for "not served by E-UTRAN"; or

Upon receiving a request from upper layers to send or receive data for ProSe direct communication in a given group, the UE shall initiate the procedure for ProSe direct communication. For case a, the UE shall perform ProSe direct communication procedures specified in subclause 10.2.2. For case b and c, the UE shall perform ProSe direct communication procedures specified in subclause 10.2.3.

If the UE is camped on an E-UTRAN cell not operating on the carrier frequency provisioned for ProSe direct communication which indicates that ProSe direct communication is supported by the network, the UE can perform either ProSe direct communication procedures specified in subclause 10.2.2 or ProSe direct communication procedures specified in subclause 10.2.3.

The UE shall obtain the ProSe direct communication policy parameters for that group as specified in subclause 5.

If the ProSe direct communication policy parameters indicate that the UE is configured to use IPv6 for that group, the UE shall auto-configures a link local IPv6 Address following procedures defined in RFC 4862 [15]. This address can only be used as the source IP address for one-to-many ProSe direct communication.

If the ProSe Direct communication policy parameters group indicate that the UE is configured to use IPv4 for that group, then the UE shall:

– use the configured IPv4 address for that group as source address; or

– if there is no configured IPv4 address for that group, use Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses as specified in IETF RFC 3927 [16].

[TS 24.334, clause 10.2.2]

When the UE is served by E-UTRAN and intends to use the ProSe radio resources (i.e. carrier frequency) provided by an E-UTRAN cell, the UE requests the parameters from the lower layers for transmitting or receiving ProSe direct communication (see 3GPP TS 36.331 [12]). The UE shall perform direct communication only if the lower layers indicate that ProSe direct communication is supported by the network. If the UE in EMM-IDLE mode has to request resources for ProSe direct communication as specified in 3GPP TS 36.331 [12], the UE shall perform a service request procedure or tracking area update procedure as specified in 3GPP TS 24.301 [11]. Once the radio resources for transmitting or receiving ProSe direct communication are provided by eNodeB as specified in 3GPP TS 36.331 [12], the UE shall start ProSe direct communication.

[TS 24.334, clause 10.2.3]

Before initiating ProSe direct communication, the UE shall check with lower layers whether the selected radio parameters can be used in the current location without causing interference to other cells as specified in 3GPP TS 36.331 [12], and:

– if the lower layers indicate that the usage would not cause any interference, the UE shall initiate ProSe direct communication; or

NOTE 2: If the lower layers find that there exists a cell operating the provisioned radio resources (i.e., carrier frequency), and the cell belongs to the registered PLMN or a PLMN equivalent to the registered PLMN, and the UE is authorized for ProSe direct communication in this PLMN, the UE can use the radio parameters indicated by the cell as specified in 3GPP TS 36.331 [12].

– else if the lower layers report that one or more PLMNs operate in the provisioned radio resources (i.e. carrier frequency) then:

a) if the following conditions are met:

1) none of the PLMNs reported by the lower layers is the registered PLMN or equivalent to the registered PLMN; and

2) at least one of the PLMNs reported by the lower layers is in the list of authorised PLMNs for ProSe direct communication and provides radio resources for ProSe direct communication as specified in 3GPP TS 36.331 [12];

then the UE shall:

1) if in EMM-IDLE mode, perform PLMN selection triggered by ProSe direct communication as specified in 3GPP TS 23.122 [24]; or

If the registration to the selected PLMN is successful, the UE shall proceed with the procedure to initiate ProSe direct communication as specified in subclause 10.2.2.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.2.2.4]

1> if the UE is capable of sidelink communication and is configured by upper layers to receive or transmit sidelink communication:

2> if the cell used for sidelink communication meets the S-criteria as defined in TS 36.304 [4]; and

2> if schedulingInfoList indicates that SystemInformationBlockType18 is present and the UE does not have stored a valid version of this system information block:

3> acquire SystemInformationBlockType18;

[TS 36.331, clause 5.2.2.25]

Upon receiving SystemInformationBlockType18, the UE shall:

1> if SystemInformationBlockType18 message includes the commConfig:

2> if configured to receive sidelink communication:

3> from the next SC period, as defined by sc-Period, use the resource pool indicated by commRxPool for sidelink communication monitoring, as specified in 5.10.3;

2> if configured to transmit sidelink communication:

3> from the next SC period, as defined by sc-Period, use the resource pool indicated by commTxPoolNormalCommon or by commTxPoolExceptional for sidelink communication transmission, as specified in 5.10.4;

[TS 36.331, clause 5.10.1a]

When it is specified that the UE shall perform a particular sidelink operation only if the conditions defined in this section are met, the UE shall perform the concerned sidelink operation only if:

1> if the UE’s serving cell is suitable (RRC_IDLE or RRC_CONNECTED); and if either the selected cell on the frequency used for sidelink operation belongs to the registered or equivalent PLMN as specified in TS 24.334 [69] or the UE is out of coverage on the frequency used for sidelink operation as defined in TS 36.304 [4, 11.4]; or

[TS 36.331, clause 5.10.3]

A UE capable of sidelink communication that is configured by upper layers to receive sidelink communication shall:

1> if the conditions for sidelink operation as defined in 5.10.1a are met:

2> if in coverage on the frequency used for sidelink communication, as defined in TS 36.304 [4, 11.4]:

3> if the cell chosen for sidelink communication reception broadcasts SystemInformationBlockType18 including commRxPool:

4> configure lower layers to monitor sidelink control information and the corresponding data using the pool of resources indicated by commRxPool;

NOTE 1: If commRxPool includes one or more entries including rxParametersNCell, the UE may only monitor such entries if the associated PSS/SSS or SLSSIDs is detected. When monitoring such pool(s), the UE applies the timing of the concerned PSS/SSS or SLSS.

2> else (i.e. out of coverage on the sidelink carrier):

3> configure lower layers to monitor sidelink control information and the corresponding data using the pool of resources that were preconfigured (i.e. preconfigComm in SL-Preconfiguration defined in 9.3);

NOTE 2: The UE may monitor in accordance with the timing of the selected SyncRef UE, or if the UE does not have a selected SyncRef UE, based on the UE’s own timing.

[TS 36.331, clause 5.10.4]

A UE capable of sidelink communication that is configured by upper layers to transmit sidelink communication and has related data to be transmitted shall:

1> if the conditions for sidelink operation as defined in 5.10.1a are met:

2> if in coverage on the frequency used for sidelink communication, as defined in TS 36.304 [4, 11.4]:

3> else (i.e. sidelink communication in RRC_IDLE or on cell other than PCell in RRC_CONNECTED):

4> if the cell chosen for sidelink communication transmission broadcasts SystemInformationBlockType18:

5> if SystemInformationBlockType18 includes commTxPoolNormalCommon:

6> configure lower layers to transmit the sidelink control information and the corresponding data using the pool of resources indicated by the first entry in commTxPoolNormalCommon;

5> else:

6> if the last connection establishment was initiated to request sidelink communication transmission resources and resulted in T300 expiry; and

6> if the cell on which the UE initiated connection establishment broadcasts SystemInformationBlockType18 including commTxPoolExceptional:

7> from the moment T300 expired, as specified in 5.3.3.6, until receiving an RRCConnectionReconfiguration including sl-CommConfig or until receiving an RRCConnectionRelease or an RRCConnectionReject;

8> configure lower layers to transmit the sidelink control information and the corresponding data using the pool of resources indicated by the first entry in commTxPoolExceptional;

2> else (i.e. out of coverage on sidelink carrier):

3> configure lower layers to transmit the sidelink control information and the corresponding data using the pool of resources that were preconfigured i.e. indicated by the first entry in preconfigComm in SL-Preconfiguration defined in 9.3 and in accordance with the timing of the selected SyncRef UE, or if the UE does not have a selected SyncRef UE, based on the UEs own timing;
