OAI extensions for ProSe

 PC5-D: The discovery plane of PC5 interface is needed for direct


discovery. Discovery allows a UE to discover other UEs that are in
proximity. The ProSe Protocol interacts directly with the MAC layer
 PC5-S: The PC5 signaling protocol stack is used for control plane
signaling over the PC5 interface to establish, maintain, and release a
secure direct link between two UEs.
 PC5-U: The user plane PC5 interface is used to send traffic directly
between two UEs. A UE may establish multiple logical channels, which is
not show in Figure 3. A logical channel ID (LCID) included within the MAC
subheader uniquely identifies a logical channel within the scope of one
Source Layer-2 ID and ProSe Layer-2 Group ID combination. Note that in
our OAI ProSe implementation, the IP tables are responsible for IP to
sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) mapping. The UE_ip.ko kernel module uses
the information provided by the IP tables in order to route each ProSe flow
to the right SLRB.
 PC3: The control plane PC3 interface is used for service authorization
between the UE and the ProSe Function when the UE is connected to the
network (i.e., on-network). The ProSe control signaling is carried over the
LTE user plane (i.e., LTE-Uu, S1-U, S5/S8 and SGi) Note that the PC3
interface is not used when the UE is off-network. In the off-network case,
service authorization is pre-configured in the UE.
