`
`What is claimed is:
`
`CLAIMS
`
`1.
`
`A method for establishing a wireless local area network (WLAN)
`
`proximity service (ProSe) connectivity between a first WLAN ProSe capable
`
`wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU,
`
`the method comprising:
`
`receiving a request from the first WLAN ProSe capable WTRU to establish a
`
`WLAN ProSe connection to the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU, the request
`
`including at least an identification of the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU; and
`
`transmitting a configuration message with configuration information
`
`associated with the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU, wherein the configuration
`
`information includes at least one of: WLAN ID of the second WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU , a medium access control (MAC) ID of the second WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU, a frequency or channel number, a beacon interval, and timing information.
`
`2.
`
`The method of claim 1, further comprising:
`
`determining WLAN ProSe capabilities of the first WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU and the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU.
`
`3.
`
`The method of claim 1, further comprising:
`
`performing discovery of at least one WLAN access point (AP).
`
`4.
`
`The method of claim 3, further comprising:
`
`receiving configuration information from the at least one WLAN AP.
`
`5.
`
`The method of claim 3, further comprising:
`
`4530815-1
`
`

`

`IDC-11614USO3
`
`querying a ProSe server for a list of WLAN APs and associated configuration
`
`information.
`
`6.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration message is an
`
`implicit indication to start the WLAN ProSe connection.
`
`7.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration message includes an
`
`explicit indication to start the WLAN ProSe connection.
`
`8.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration message is one of a
`
`radio resource control (RRC) or a Non-access stratum (NAS) message.
`
`9.
`
`The method of claim 1, further comprising:
`
`transmitting identification of established radio bearers that need to be
`
`switched to the WLAN ProSe connection.
`
`10.
`
`The method of claim 1, further comprising:
`
`transmitting address information of the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU
`
`to the first WLAN ProSe capable WTRU.
`
`11.
`
`A method in a first WLAN ProSe capable wireless transmit/receive
`
`unit (WTRU) for establishing direct wireless local area network (WLAN) proximity
`
`serVice (ProSe) connectivity with a second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU, the method
`
`comprising:
`
`transmitting a request from the first WLAN ProSe capable WTRU to
`
`establish a WLAN ProSe connection with the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU ,
`
`the request including at least an identification of the second WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU;
`
`4530815-1
`
`

`

`IDC-11614USO3
`
`receiving a configuration message with configuration information that
`
`is associated with the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU, wherein the
`
`configuration information includes at least one of: WLAN ID of the second WLAN
`
`ProSe capable WTRU , a medium access control (MAC) ID of the second WLAN
`
`ProSe capable WTRU, a frequency or channel number, a beacon interval, and
`
`timing information; and
`
`establishing a direct WLAN ProSe connection with the second WLAN
`
`ProSe capable WTRU based on the configuration message.
`
`12.
`
`The method of claim 1 1, further comprising:
`
`transmitting WLAN ProSe capabilities to a network node.
`
`13.
`
`The method of claim 1 1, further comprising:
`
`performing a discovery process using a WLAN ProSe ID.
`
`14.
`
`The method of claim 1 1, further comprising:
`
`transmitting location information of the first WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU to the network node.
`
`15.
`
`The method of claim 11, wherein the configuration message is one of a
`
`radio resource control (RRC) or a Non-access stratum (NAS) message.
`
`16.
`
`A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) that is a first WLAN ProSe
`
`WTRU for establishing direct wireless local area network (WLAN) proximity service
`
`(ProSe) connectivity with a second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU, the WTRU method
`
`comprising:
`
`4530815-1
`
`-30-
`
`

`

`IDC-11614USO3
`
`a transmitter configured to transmit a request to establish a WLAN
`
`ProSe connection with the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU ,
`
`the request
`
`including at least an identification of the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU;
`
`a receiver further configured to receive a configuration message with
`
`configuration information that is associated with the second WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU, wherein the configuration information includes at least one of: WLAN ID of
`
`the second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU , a medium access control (MAC) ID of the
`
`second WLAN ProSe capable WTRU, a frequency or channel number, a beacon
`
`interval, and timing information; and
