`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Methods and apparatus are described for implementing a wireless local area
`
`network (WLAN) Proximity Service (ProSe) connection in a WLAN ProSe capable
`
`wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU). The WLAN ProSe capable WTRU requests
`
`an establishment of a WLAN ProSe connection with other WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU(s), where a ProSe discovery process determines the presence of other WLAN
`
`ProSe capable WTRU(s). Configuration information is received, via a non-access
`
`stratum or a radio resource control message, from a network node to facilitate the
`
`WLAN ProSe connection to the other WLAN ProSe capable WTRU(s). The
`
`configuration information includes one of a WLAN ID of the other WLAN ProSe
`
`capable WTRU(s), a medium access control ID of the other WLAN ProSe capable
`
`WTRU(s), a WLAN access point Service Set Identification (SSID) or Basic SSID, a
`
`frequency or channel number, a beacon interval, and timing information.
