Methods and apparatus for supporting WAN and D2D communication RLC layer handover
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for supporting RLC layer handover between WAN supported D2D communications and direct D2D communications. In one example, a first UE may be operable to transmit a WAN handover request including a peer identifier and a cell identifier associated with a second UE to an eNB, where the first UE and the second UE are engaged in direct D2D communications. The eNB may be equipped to communicate the WAN handover request to a second eNB associated with the second UE and receive a RLC parameter indicating a last successful reception by the second UE. The eNB may transmit the RLC parameter to the first UE. The first UE may be equipped to determine a subsequent content item based on the received RLC parameter and may transmit the subsequent content item to the second UE via the eNB.
