METHODS FOR CONFIGURING USER DEVICES AND USER DEVICES

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for configuring a first user device (UE) to exchange side-link packets with at least a second UE. This method acquires, via the first interface and via the Radio Resource Control (RRC) signal, the side-link configuration from the first base station during the handover process of the first UE to the second base station. The method then exchanges, via the second interface, one or more side-link packets with the second UE based on the side-link configuration acquired from the first base station and the side-link configuration previously stored at the first UE. The first interface may be configured as one of the Long Term Development (LTE) and New Radio (NR) side-link interfaces, and the second interface may be configured as one of the ProSe LTE and ProSe NR side-link PC5 interfaces. The invention relates to user devices.
