Systems, methods and devices for direct communication

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a wireless interface configured to communicate directly with a receiving UE using non-internet protocol (non-IP) communication;

memory configured to store instructions and data; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions, the instructions causing the UE to:

process a non-internet protocol (non-IP) message using a non-IP protocol enumerated in a service data unit (SDU) type field;

select a non-IP SDU type that corresponds to the non-IP protocol from the SDU type field in a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP);

encapsulate the non-IP message in a PDCP data unit using the selected non-IP SDU type in the SDU type field; and

encode the non-IP message for the receiving UE using the PDCP data unit,

wherein to transmit the non-IP message to the receiving UE further comprises to:

determine an identity of the receiving UE without establishing a layer-2 secure link;

encapsulate the non-IP message in a PC5 protocol message using the PDCP data unit;

provide an asserted public identity of a user of the UE and a digital signature; and

encode the message for the secure link using the PC5 protocol, the asserted public identity and the digital signature, and

wherein the digital signature uses an Elliptic Curve-based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-based Encryption (ECCSI) signature.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the SDU type is wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) short message protocol (WSMP).

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the SDU type is logical link control/sub-network access protocol (LLC/SNAP).

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein LLC/SNAP is further used to encapsulate a message using a PC5 Signaling Protocol.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the SDU type is PC5 Signaling Protocol.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein transmit the message to the receiving UE further comprises:

establish a secure link with the receiving UE using a PC5 protocol;

encapsulate the user data in a PC5 protocol message using the PDCP data unit; and

transmit the PC5 protocol message over the secure link using the PC5 protocol.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein transmit the message to the receiving UE further comprises:

determine an identity of the receiving UE;

encapsulate the user data in a PC5 protocol message using the PDCP data unit; and

transmit the PC5 protocol message over the secure link using the PC5 protocol.

8. The UE of claim 1 , wherein transmit the message to the receiving UE further comprises:

determine an identity of the receiving UE;

encapsulate the user data in a PC5 protocol message using the PDCP data unit;

provide an identifier that enables the receiving UE to extract the user data from the PC5 protocol message; and

transmit the message over the secure link using the PC5 protocol.

9. The UE of claim 1 , wherein to transmit the message to the receiving UE further comprises to provide an encryption key used to encrypt the user data and a key management server identifier.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the encryption key is included in a Sakai-Kasahara Key Encryption (SAKKE) payload that is encoded using a public identity of the receiving UE.

11. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the user data is a non-IP packet.

12. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the user data is an IP packet.

13. A circuitry for device to device (D2D) non-internet protocol (non-IP) communication the circuitry comprising:

memory configured to store a non-IP message;

a baseband processing unit configured to:

process a non-internet protocol (non-IP) message using a non-IP protocol enumerated in a service data unit (SDU) type field;

select non-IP SDU type that corresponds to the non-IP protocol from the SDU type field in a D2D non-IP protocol;

determine whether to negotiate a secure connection with a receiving device;

when determined to negotiate the secure connection:

establish a secure link with the receiving device using a D2D non-IP protocol;

encapsulate the non-IP message in a D2D non-IP protocol message using the selected non-IP SDU type in the SDU type field; and

transmit the D2D non-IP protocol message over the secure link using the D2D non-IP protocol;

when determined to communicate without negotiating the secure connection:

determine an identity of the receiving device;

encapsulate the user data in a D2D non-IP protocol message using an identifier based at least in part on the identity that enables the receiving device to extract the data from the D2D non-IP protocol message and using the selected non-IP SDU type in the SDU type field; and

transmit the D2D non-IP protocol message over the secure link using the D2D non-IP protocol;

wherein determine an identity of the receiving device further comprises determine an identity of the receiving device without establishing a layer-2 secure link;

wherein encapsulate the user data in a D2D non-IP protocol message further comprises encapsulate the data in a PC5 protocol message using an asserted public identity of a user of the device, a digital signature, an encryption key used to encrypt the user data and a key management server identifier, and

wherein the digital signature uses an Elliptic Curve-based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-based Encryption (ECCSI) signature.

14. The circuitry of claim 13 , wherein the D2D non-IP protocol is a PC5 Signaling Protocol.

15. The circuitry of claim 13 , wherein the encryption key is included in a Sakai-Kasahara Key Encryption (SAKKE) payload that is encoded using a public identity of the receiving device.
