Abstract: A method and apparatus may include determining, by a network node, that a slave radio-resource-control function is to be initiated. The slave radio-resource-control function may be performed by an access point. The method may also include transmitting a message to the access point. The message includes at least one of a request to initiate the slave radio-resource-control function and a confirmation that the slave radio-resource-control function can be initiated.

Abstract: Resource allocation for direct terminal-to-terminal communication in a cellular system. There are provided measures for resource allocation for direct terminal-to-terminal communication in a cellular system, said measures exemplarily comprising configuration of common resources for supporting direct communication between terminals across a predefined registration area comprising one or more cells of a cellular system, and control of an allocation of common resources for enabling direct communication between terminals across the predefined registration area. Said measures may exemplarily be applied for establishing terminal-to-terminal communication in LTE or LTE-Advanced cellular networks.

Abstract: There is provided a method comprising: determining, by a first network node of a cellular communication network, that a transfer of a data block to a second network node of the cellular communication network needs a retransmission; determining whether at least one criterion for a size and/or latency requirements of said data block is met; and as a response to determining that the at least one criterion is met, performing the retransmission according to a first set of rules, otherwise performing the retransmission according to a second set of rules.

Abstract: Handling of related identities may be valuable in communication systems. More particularly, in areas such as long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) proximity services (ProSe), it may be useful to provide for handling of ProSe device to device (D2D) related identities at the radio access network (RAN) level. A method can include deriving an initial layer one identifier corresponding to a target user equipment or group. The method can also include determining whether the initial layer one identifier collides with another layer one identifier corresponding to a different target user equipment or group. The method can further include communicating with the target user equipment or group based on the determination of whether the initial layer one identifier collides with another layer one identifier in use.
