OAI extensions for ProSe
PC5-D: The discovery plane of PC5 interface is needed for direct discovery. Discovery allows a UE to discover other UEs that are in proximity. The ProSe Protocol interacts directly with the MAC layer
PC5-S: The PC5 signaling protocol stack is used for control plane signaling over the PC5 interface to establish, maintain, and release a secure direct link between two UEs.
PC5-U: The user plane PC5 interface is used to send traffic directly between two UEs. A UE may establish multiple logical channels, which is not show in Figure 3. A logical channel ID (LCID) included within the MAC subheader uniquely identifies a logical channel within the scope of one Source Layer-2 ID and ProSe Layer-2 Group ID combination. Note that in our OAI ProSe implementation, the IP tables are responsible for IP to sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) mapping. The UE_ip.ko kernel module uses the information provided by the IP tables in order to route each ProSe flow to the right SLRB.
PC3: The control plane PC3 interface is used for service authorization between the UE and the ProSe Function when the UE is connected to the network (i.e., on-network). The ProSe control signaling is carried over the LTE user plane (i.e., LTE-Uu, S1-U, S5/S8 and SGi) Note that the PC3 interface is not used when the UE is off-network. In the off-network case, service authorization is pre-configured in the UE.
