Proxy coordinated wireless communication operation for vehicular environments

Abstract

Proxy coordinated wireless communication operation is described for vehicular environments. In one example, a first user equipment receives a proxy operation authorization from a vehicular environment proximity services function for the first user equipment to operate as a Proxy for the proximity services function. The first user equipment then controls configuration information of other user equipment. The first user equipment also controls the vehicular environment operation mode used by the other user equipment.
