Methods, apparatus and systems using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) enhancements to support vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication
V2X Enhancements to support V2P communication are disclosed. In particular, Vehicle to Pedestrian Communications are provided. Methods and apparatus for operation by an initiating wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for direct link with a peer WTRU using a first key identifier of a root key are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes sending, by the initiating WTRU to the peer WTRU, a release request message to release the direct link with the peer WTRU, the release request message including information indicating first security information associated with a second key identifier of the root key. The method further includes receiving, receiving, by the initiating WTRU from the peer WTRU, a response to the release request message including second security information associated with the second key identifier of the root key. The method also includes determining, by the initiating WTRU, the second key identifier of the root key using the first security information and the second security information; and sending, by the initiating WTRU to the peer WTRU, a message including information indicating the second key identifier of the root key.
1. A method implemented by an initiating wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for direct link with a peer WTRU using a first key identifier of a root key, the method comprising:
sending, to the peer WTRU, a release request message to release the direct link with the peer WTRU, the release request message including information indicating first security information associated with a second key identifier of the root key;
receiving, from the peer WTRU, a response message to the release request message including second security information associated with the second key identifier of the root key;
determining the second key identifier of the root key using the first security information and the second security information;
storing the second key identifier of the root key by replacing the first key identifier of the root key; and
sending, to the peer WTRU, during a link establishment request with the peer WTRU, a message including information indicating the second key identifier of the root key.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the root key identified by the second key identifier is used to provide security protection for a direct communication of the initiating WTRU with the peer WTRU via a new direct link.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first security information indicates a first portion of the second key identifier of the root key and the second security information indicates a second portion of the second key identifier of the root key.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first portion of the second key identifier includes a set of most significant bits (MSB) of the second key identifier of the root key and the second portion of the second key identifier includes a set of least significant bits (LSB) of the second key identifier of the root key.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the release request message and the response message are security protected, and wherein the security protection applied to the release request message comprises any of: integrity protection or confidentiality protection; and/or the security protection applied to the response message comprises any of: integrity protection or confidentiality protection.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
establishing a direct communication via a PC5 link.
7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising establishing the direct communication using a secure layer-2 link.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the release request message is a direct link release (DLR) request message, and the response message to the release request message is a DLR response message.
9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the message including information indicating the second key identifier of the root key is a direct communication request message.
10. An initiating Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) configured for direct link with a peer WTRU using a first key identifier of a root key, the initiating WTRU comprising:
a transmitter/receiver unit configured to:
send, to the peer WTRU, a release request message to release the direct link with the peer WTRU, the release request message including information indicating first security information associated with a second key identifier of the root key; and
receive, from the peer WTRU, a response message to the release request message including second security information associated with the second key identifier of the root key;
a processor configured to determine the second key identifier of the root key using the first security information and the second security information,
the transmitter/receiver unit further configured to store the second key identifier of the root key by replacing the first key identifier of the root key, and wherein the transmitter/receiver unit is configured to send, to the peer WTRU, during a link establishment request with the peer WTRU, a message including information indicating the second key identifier of the root key.
11. The initiating WTRU according to claim 10 , wherein the root key identified by the second key identifier is used to provide security protection for a direct communication of the initiating WTRU with the peer WTRU via a new direct link.
12. The initiating WTRU according to claim 10 , wherein the first security information indicates a first portion of the second key identifier of the root key and the second security information indicates a second portion of the second key identifier of the root key.
13. The initiating WTRU according to claim 12 , wherein the first portion of the second key identifier includes a set of most significant bits (MSB) of the second key identifier of the root key and the second portion of the second key identifier includes a set of least significant bits (LSB) of the second key identifier of the root key.
14. The initiating WTRU according to claim 10 , wherein the release request message and the response message are security protected, and wherein the security protection applied to the release request message comprises any of: integrity protection or confidentiality protection; and/or the security protection applied to the response message comprises any of: integrity protection or confidentiality protection.
15. The initiating WTRU according to claim 14 , wherein the transmitter/receiver unit is configured to establish the direct communication using a secure layer-2 link.
16. The initiating WTRU according to claim 15 , wherein the release request message is a direct link release (DLR) request-message, and the response message to the release request message is a DLR response message.
17. The initiating WTRU according to claim 15 , wherein the message including information indicating the second key identifier of the root key is a direct communication request message.
18. The initiating WTRU according to claim 10 , wherein the transmitter/receiver unit is configured to establish a direct communication via a PC5 link.
