Abstract:
1. A communication terminal device comprising: a cellular wide area radio communication technology circuit to provide a communication according to a cellular wide area radio communication technology employed by an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN); a circuit to provide a direct communication terminal device to communication terminal device communication that is to bypass the E-UTRAN according to information received via the E UTRAN; and a message generator to generate a message to transmit to an enhanced node B (eNB) of the E-UTRAN, wherein the message includes at least one message field to specify information of at least one capability to provide the direct communication terminal device to communication terminal device communication of the communication terminal device, wherein the message is generated for a network communication protocol, wherein the message includes a network capability information element (IE) to indicate whether the communication terminal device is able to detect a proximate communication terminal device for direct communication terminal device to communication terminal device communication.
