Configuration of layer-1 destination address for device-to-device communications
Systems and methods that configured a Layer-1 destination address for D2D communications. One embodiment is a controller in a network that receives a discovery request from first User Equipment (UE), identifies an application code to announce the first UE during a discovery procedure, and provides the application code to the first UE. The controller receives an address request from the first UE for a D2D communication with one or more second UEs identified during the discovery procedure. The controller derives a Layer-1 destination address for the D2D communication, and provides the Layer-1 destination address to the first UE and to the at least one second UE for pre-configuration of the Layer-1 destination address at the first UE and the at least one second UE before the D2D communication.
