Discoveree Info is one of the uses of User Info ID as described in clause 5.8.1.8.

Application Layer Group ID is defined in TS 23.303.

Each UE has one or more Layer-2 IDs for 5G ProSe direct communication over PC5 reference point, consisting of:

• Source Layer-2 ID(s); and
• Destination Layer-2 ID(s).

Source and Destination Layer-2 IDs are included in layer-2 frames sent on the layer-2 link of the PC5 reference point identifying the layer-2 source and destination of these frames. Source Layer-2 IDs are always self-assigned by the UE originating the corresponding layer-2 frames. The selection of the Source and Destination Layer-2 ID(s) by a UE depends on the communication mode of 5G ProSe direct communication over PC5 reference point for this layer-2 link, as described in clauses 5.8.2.2, 5.8.2.3 and 5.8.2.4. The Source Layer-2 IDs may differ between different communication modes.

For broadcast mode of 5G ProSe direct communication over PC5 reference point, the UE is configured with the Destination Layer-2 ID(s) to be used for ProSe applications. The Destination Layer-2 ID for a 5G ProSe direct communication is selected based on the configuration as described in clause 5.1.3.1. The UE self-selects a Source Layer-2 ID.

For groupcast mode of 5G ProSe direct communication over PC5 reference point, the application layer may provide Application Layer Group ID. The UE determines a Destination Layer-2 ID as below:

• When the Application Layer Group ID is provided by the application layer,
  • and when ProSe Layer-2 Group ID is configured for the Application Layer Group ID provided by the application layer as specified in clause 5.1.3.1, the UE uses the ProSe Layer-2 Group ID as the Destination Layer-2 ID; or
  • and when ProSe Layer-2 Group ID is not configured for the Application Layer Group ID provided by the application layer, the UE converts the Application Layer Group ID into a Destination Layer-2 ID.
• When the Application Layer Group ID is not provided by the application layer, the UE determines the Destination Layer-2 ID based on configuration of the mapping between ProSe Identifier and Layer-2 ID, as specified in clause 5.1.3.1.

The UE self-selects a Source Layer-2 ID.

For unicast mode of 5G ProSe direct communication over PC5 reference point, the Destination Layer-2 ID used depends on the communication peer. The Layer-2 ID of the communication peer, identified by the peer's Application Layer ID, may be discovered during the establishment of the PC5 unicast link, or known to the UE via prior ProSe direct communications, e.g. existing or prior unicast link to the same Application Layer ID, or obtained from 5G ProSe direct discovery process. The initial signalling for the establishment of the PC5 unicast link may use the known Layer-2 ID of the communication peer, or a default destination Layer-2 ID associated with the ProSe service (i.e. ProSe identifier) configured for PC5 unicast link establishment, as specified in clause 5.1.3.1. During the PC5 unicast link establishment procedure, Layer-2 IDs are exchanged and should be used for future communication between the two UEs, as specified in clause 6.4.3. The UE maintains a mapping between the Application Layer IDs and the source Layer-2 IDs used for the PC5 unicast links, as the ProSe application layer does not use the Layer-2 IDs. This allows the change of source Layer-2 ID without interrupting the ProSe applications. When Application Layer IDs change, the source Layer-2 ID(s) of the PC5 unicast link(s) shall be changed if the link(s) was used for 5G ProSe communication with the changed Application Layer IDs. Based on privacy configuration as specified in clause 5.1.3.1, the update of the new identifiers of a source UE to the peer UE for the established unicast link may cause the peer UE to change its Layer-2 ID and optionally IP address/prefix if IP communication is used as defined in clause 6.4.3.2.
