    Abstract: There is disclosed methods, apparatuses and computer program products for an authentication procedure in a unicast device to device communication. In accordance with an embodiment the method comprises receiving from an initiating device a request to establish a unicast device to device communication between the initiating device and a target device; sending from the target device an authentication request to the initiating device for authenticating the initiating device; receiving from the initiating device an authentication response to the authentication request including one or more parameters related to the authentication; providing information of the one or more parameters to the application; examining by an application in the target device whether the one or more parameters can be accepted; and if the examining reveals that at least one of the one or more parameters cannot be accepted, sending an authentication failure message to the initiating device.

    Abstract: Techniques for relayed connection between nodes are provided. For example, a method for relayed connection between nodes comprises sending, from a source node to a relay node, a communication request message for establishing a connection to a target node via the relay node; and receiving, at the source node from the relay node, a communication reject message indicating a rejection to establish the connection by the target node.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for roaming of multicast MBS services. One method may include attaching, by a user equipment, to a visited public land mobile network as inbound roamer. The user equipment then receives a service announcement comprising at least one of a multicast service session allowed to be accessed by inbound roamers indication or multicast service class. The user equipment determines whether the user equipment is allowed to access a multicast session or multicast service class in the visited public land mobile network. The user equipment transmits, in response to determining that the user equipment is allowed to access, a request to join a multicast session comprising an identifier of the multicast session and/or a multicast service class. The user equipment receives an indication of an acceptance or rejection of the request to join the multicast session.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for emergency sessions, such as emergency calls, using a relay provided by proximity services are provided. For example, a method may include indicating, in a relay discovery procedure, a capability of a relay user equipment to support an emergency call. The method can alternatively or in addition include receiving, in the relay discovery procedure, an indication of a need of a remote user equipment to conduct an emergency call.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for roaming of multicast MBS services. One method may include receiving, by a user equipment attached to a public land mobile network as an inbound roamer, a service announcement for a broadcast session or service class indicating whether inbound roamers are allowed to access the broadcast service or service class; determining, based on the service announcement, whether the user equipment is allowed to access a broadcast session or service class in the public land mobile network; and in response to determining that the user equipment is allowed to access a broadcast session or service class in the public land mobile network, transmitting, by the user equipment, a multicast/broadcast service interest indication associated with the broadcast session or service class upon completion of a radio resource request.
