Abstract

A communication system, a UE (User Equipment), a communication method and a computer readable medium may be provided. The communication system ( 100 ) includes: a first UE (User Equipment) ( 110 ) including a first controller and a first transceiver, wherein the first controller is configured to control the transceiver to send a message including L2 ID (Layer 2 Identity) and verification information; and a second UE ( 120 ) including a second controller and a second transceiver, wherein the second controller is configured: to control the transceiver to receive the message from the first UE ( 110 ); and to determine whether to accept the L2 ID or not using the verification information.

Claims (33)

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

a controller; and

a transceiver,

wherein the controller is configured to control the transceiver to:

in a link identifier (ID) update procedure over an interface between the UE and another UE,

send, to the another UE, an ID update request message comprising:

a new Layer 2 Identifier (L2 ID);

new security information; and

a sequence number; and

increment the sequence number for each sending of the ID update request message.

2. A communication method of a User Equipment (UE), the communication method comprising:

in a link identifier (ID) update procedure over an interface between the UE and another UE,

sending, to the another UE, an ID update request message comprising:

a new Layer 2 Identifier (L2 ID);

new security information; and

a sequence number; and

incrementing the sequence number for each sending of the ID update request message.

3. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to:

receive a response message from the another UE if the another UE determines that ID update request message related information is valid.

4. The communication method according to claim 2 , the communication method further comprising:

receiving a response message from the another UE if the another UE determines that ID update request message related information is valid.

5. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to:

retransmit, to the another UE, the ID update request message using a timer in the UE.

6. The communication method according to claim 2 , the communication method further comprising:

retransmitting, to the another UE, the ID update request message using a timer in the UE.

7. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to:

generate the new L2 ID.

8. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to:

assign the new security information.

9. The communication method according to claim 2 , the communication method further comprising:

generating the new L2 ID.

10. The communication method according to claim 2 , the communication method further comprising:

assigning the new security information.
