Quality of service adaptation for PC5 reference point communication
A method and apparatus to address changes in quality of service in a communication link between two user equipment devices includes establishing the communication link between a first user equipment device and a peer user equipment device, where the communication link services an application executing on the first user equipment. The first user equipment device monitors a current quality of service on the communication link and detects a condition wherein the current quality of service may not be met. Adjusted configuration parameters for the application and new quality of service parameters for the communication link are determined. The adjusted configuration parameters are applied to the application and the new quality of service parameters are applied to the communication link.

detecting a condition wherein the current QoS may not be met in a future time;
determining, by the monitoring WTRU, new QoS parameters;
communicating an indication of the detected condition and the new QoS parameters to the peer WTRU using the PC5 communication link;
reconfiguring the PC5 communication link using the new QoS parameters.
