NR sidelink communication consists of unicast, groupcast and broadcast. For unicast, the PC5-RRC connection is a logical connection between a pair of a Source Layer-2 ID and a Destination Layer-2 ID in the AS. The PC5-RRC signalling, as specified in clause 5.8.9, can be initiated after its corresponding PC5 unicast link establishment (TS 23.287). The PC5-RRC connection and the corresponding sidelink SRBs and sidelink DRB(s) are released when the PC5 unicast link is released as indicated by upper layers.

For each PC5-RRC connection of unicast, one sidelink SRB (i.e. SL-SRB0) is used to transmit the PC5-S message(s) before the PC5-S security has been established. One sidelink SRB (i.e. SL-SRB1) is used to transmit the PC5-S messages to establish the PC5-S security. One sidelink SRB (i.e. SL-SRB2) is used to transmit the PC5-S messages after the PC5-S security has been established, which is protected. One sidelink SRB (i.e. SL-SRB3) is used to transmit the PC5-RRC signalling, which is protected and only sent after the PC5-S security has been established. One sidelink SRB (i.e. SL-SRB4) is used to transmit/receive the NR sidelink discovery messages.

For unicast of NR sidelink communication, AS security comprises of integrity protection of PC5 signalling (SL-SRB1, SL-SRB2 and SL-SRB3) and user data (SL-DRBs), and it further comprises of ciphering of PC5 signaling (SL-SRB1 only for the Direct Link Security Mode Complete message as specified in TS 24.587 for V2X service or TS 24.554 for Proximity-services, SL-SRB2 and SL-SRB3) and user data (SL-DRBs). The ciphering and integrity protection algorithms and parameters for a PC5 unicast link are exchanged by PC5-S messages in the upper layers as specified in TS 33.536, and applied to the corresponding PC5-RRC connection in the AS. Once AS security is activated for a PC5 unicast link in the upper layers as specified in TS 33.536, all messages on SL-SRB2 and SL-SRB3 and/or user data on SL-DRBs of the corresponding PC5-RRC connection are integrity protected and/or ciphered by the PDCP.

For unicast of NR sidelink communication, if the change of the key is indicated by the upper layers as specified in TS 24.587 or TS 24.554, UE re-establishes the PDCP entity of the SL-SRB1, SL-SRB2, SL-SRB3 and SL-DRBs on the corresponding PC5-RRC connection.

5.8.2 Conditions for NR sidelink communication/discovery/positioning operation p. 355

The UE shall perform NR sidelink communication/ positioning operation only if the conditions defined in this clause are met:

1 >

if the UE's serving cell is suitable (RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE or RRC_CONNECTED); and if either the selected cell on the frequency used for NR sidelink communication/ discovery/ positioning operation belongs to the registered or equivalent PLMN as specified in TS 24.587 or TS 24.554 or the UE is out of coverage on the frequency used for NR sidelink communication/ discovery/ positioning operation as defined in TS 38.304 and TS 36.304; or

1 >

if the UE's serving cell (RRC_IDLE or RRC_CONNECTED) fulfils the conditions to support NR sidelink communication/ discovery/ positioning in limited service state as specified in TS 23.287; and if either the serving cell is on the frequency used for NR sidelink communication/ discovery/ positioning operation or the UE is out of coverage on the frequency used for NR sidelink communication/ discovery/ positioning operation as defined in TS 38.304 and TS 36.304; or

1 >

if the UE has no serving cell (RRC_IDLE).

A UE capable of NR sidelink communication or NR sidelink discovery or NR sidelink U2N relay operation or NR sidelink U2U relay operation or NR sidelink positioning that is in RRC_CONNECTED may initiate the procedure to indicate it is (interested in) receiving or transmitting NR sidelink communication or NR sidelink discovery or NR sidelink U2N relay operation or NR sidelink U2U relay operation or SL-PRS transmission/reception in several cases including upon successful connection establishment or resuming, upon change of interest, upon changing QoS profile(s), upon receiving UECapabilityInformationSidelink from the associated peer UE, upon RLC mode information updated from the associated peer UE or upon change to a PCell providing SIB12 including sl-ConfigCommonNR, or upon change to a PCell providing SIB23 including sl-PosConfigCommonNR. A UE capable of NR sidelink communication may initiate the procedure to request assignment of dedicated sidelink DRB configuration and transmission resources for NR sidelink communication transmission. A UE capable of NR sidelink communication may initiate the procedure to report to the network that a sidelink radio link failure, sidelink RRC reconfiguration failure or sidelink carrier failure has been declared. A UE capable of NR sidelink discovery may initiate the procedure to request assignment of dedicated resources for NR sidelink discovery transmission or NR sidelink discovery reception. A UE capable of U2N relay operation may initiate the procedure to report/update parameters for acting as U2N Relay UE or U2N Remote UE (including L2 Remote UE's source L2 ID). A UE capable of U2U relay operation may initiate the procedure to report/update parameters for acting as U2U Relay UE or U2U Remote UE. A UE capable of NR sidelink positioning may initiate the procedure to request it is interested or no longer interested in either transmitting SL-PRS or receiving sidelink control information for SL-PRS.

A UE capable of NR sidelink operation that is in RRC_CONNECTED may initiate the procedure to report the sidelink DRX configuration received from the associated peer UE for NR sidelink unicast reception, upon accepting the sidelink DRX configuration from the associated peer UE. A UE capable of NR sidelink communication that is configured with sl-ScheduledConfig and is performing sidelink unicast transmission may initiate the procedure to report the sidelink DRX assistance information or the sidelink DRX configuration reject information received from the associated peer UE, upon receiving either of them from the associated peer UE. A UE capable of NR sidelink communication that is configured with sl-ScheduledConfig and is performing sidelink groupcast transmission may initiate the procedure to report the sidelink DRX on/off indication for the associated Destination Layer-2 ID.

A UE capable of NR sidelink operation that is in RRC_CONNECTED may initiate the procedure to report the Destination Layer-2 ID and QoS profile(s) associated with its interested service(s) that sidelink DRX is applied, for NR sidelink groupcast or broadcast reception.
