Abstract
A user equipment (UE) is configured to connect to a next generation nodeB (gNB) and further UE. The UE determines that a triggering event has occurred, wherein the triggering event is based on a set of proximity services (ProSe) path selection and switching (PSS) policies, transmits a setup or update request to a direct discovery name management function (DDNMF) of a 5G core network, receives UE-specific policies based on the set of ProSe PSS policies, and switches from one of a PC5 interface or a Uu interface to another one of the PC5 interface or the Uu interface.
