Abstract

La présente invention concerne généralement, dans des modes de réalisation, un système et un procédé de découverte et de radiomessagerie dans une nouvelle liaison latérale d'objets radio. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un nUE (équipement utilisateur de réseau) sélectionne l'unité de ressource (RU) d'un canal de découverte de liaison latérale physique (PSDCH) permettant de diffuser un message de découverte, la RU étant choisie sur la base d'un identifiant temporaire nUE (ID temp.) et d'un mappage entre les RU et ID temp. nUE. Le nUE procède au codage pour permettre la diffusion du message de découverte à plusieurs équipements utilisateurs portables (wUE) de la RU choisie du PSDCH. Le nUE procède au codage pour permettre la diffusion du contenu de découverte dans la sous-trame de liaison descendante (DL) disponible d'un canal partagé de liaison descendante physique (PDSCH), le contenu de découverte étant diffusé à un wUE parmi les multiples wUE pour être décodé au niveau du wUE et démarrer une procédure d'accès aléatoire à l'aide de la nUE.
