Claim:
1. A method in a wireless communication device capable of device-to-device (D2D) operation, the method comprising: sending a request to receive parameters from a network node, the parameters comprising at least: a first set of parameters indicating a configuration for use when the wireless communication device is in a first coverage scenario, wherein the first coverage scenario is one of an in-network coverage (INC) scenario, a partial network coverage (PNC) scenario, or an out-of-network coverage (ONC) scenario; and a second set of parameters indicating a configuration for use when the wireless communication device is in a second coverage scenario, the second coverage scenario is a different one of the INC scenario, PNC scenario, or ONC scenario; receiving the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters from the network node in response to the request; and performing D2D operation in the first coverage scenario based on at least some of the parameters from the first set of parameters and in the second coverage scenario based on at least some of the parameters from the second set of parameters; wherein the request to receive the parameters comprises requested Quality of Service (QOS) and allocation retention priority (ARP) parameters for the D2D operation for at least two types of scenarios selected from the INC scenario, the PNC scenario, and the ONC scenario.
