5.1  Control and user plane stacksp. 36

5.1.1  Control Planep. 36

5.1.1.1  Generalp. 36

The control plane stack consists of protocols for control and support of the user plane functions:
  • controlling the configuration of the ProSe-enabled UE;
  • controlling ProSe Direct Discovery;
  • controlling the set-up of the connection between the Remote UE and the ProSe UE-to-Network Relay; and
  • controlling the attributes of an established network access connection, such as activation of an IP address.
The following control planes are used in E-UTRAN mode.

Legend:
  • The PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY functionality is specified in TS 36.300.
  • "PC5 Signalling Protocol" is used for control plane signalling over PC5 (e.g. establishment, maintenance and release of secure layer-2 link over PC5, TMGI monitoring requests, Cell ID announcement requests etc. as described elsewhere in this specification).
  • The SDU Type field (3 bits) in the PDCP header is used to discriminate between IP, ARP and PC5 Signalling Protocol. ARP is not supported for one-to-one communication.
  • PC5 Signalling Protocol messages are sent on a unicast Destination Layer-2 ID.

Legend:
  • PC6 is an inter-PLMN interface between the ProSe Functions in different PLMNs (EPC-level ProSe Discovery) and between the ProSe function in the HPLMN and the ProSe function in Local PLMN (ProSe Direct Discovery). PC7 is a roaming interface between the ProSe function in the HPLMN and the ProSe function in VPLMN. PC6 and PC7 are specified in TS 29.345
  • Diameter: This protocol supports the transfer of subscriber location related information between ProSe Functions (PC6/PC7). Diameter is defined in RFC 3588.
