The method may further involve performing one or more actions with respect to at least one SUDF of the one or more SUDFs. | 02-18-2016 |
| 20160056992 | DIAMETER/XML PROTOCOL CONVERSION - Embodiments of protocol converters (PCs), and related techniques, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a PC may include reception logic to receive Extensible Markup Language (XML) data transmitted by an Application Function (AF), conversion logic to convert the XML data into a Diameter Protocol (DP) message, and provision logic to provide the DP message for transmission to a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed. | 02-25-2016 |
| 20160135084 | METHOD FOR INDICATING A CIPHERING INDICATION FOR A SIDELINK RADIO BEARER IN A D2D COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND DEVICE THEREFOR - The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for indicating a ciphering indication for a sidelink radio bearer in a D2D communication system, the method comprising: receiving a PDCP SDU when the UE is configured to communicate with one or more other UEs directly; deciding whether to apply ciphering or not for the received PDCP SDU; generating a PDCP data PDU including the received PDCP SDU and a PDCP PDU header including one or more fields for ciphering parameters; and transmitting the PDCP data PDU to the one or more other UEs over PC5 interface, wherein at least one of the one or more fields for ciphering parameters is set to a fixed value when the ciphering is not applied for the received PDCP SDU. | 05-12-2016 |
