Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A first wireless device comprising:
a wireless transceiver to receive, from a base station, configuration information associated with direct data transmission between the first wireless device and one or more wireless devices, wherein the configuration information comprises information of a resource selection mode for direct data transmission, and wherein the information of a resource selection mode indicates a resource pool from which the first wireless device selects a resource for direct data transmission to one or more wireless devices; and
a processor configured to generate a MAC-layer message comprising:
a first field that indicates a first target identity identified based on a discovery procedure and indicates a first group identity associated with the first target identity, wherein the first target identity is associated with at least one target wireless device of a first group of target wireless devices; and
a second field that indicates a second target identity identified based on the discovery procedure and indicates a second group identity associated with the second target identity, wherein the second target identity is associated with at least one target wireless device of a second group of target wireless devices,
wherein the wireless transceiver transmits, to the base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising information of the first target identity and information of the second target identity, and
wherein the wireless transceiver transmits, to the base station, a signal associated with the MAC-layer message.
