Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe apparatuses and methods for enabling device-to-device (D2D) functionality for public safety applications. Various embodiments may include an eNB with a radio transceiver to communicate with a UE that includes D2D operation capabilities, and processing circuitry to send the UE a System Information Block (SIB) message to activate one or more public safety functionalities of the UE related to D2D operation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure permit agile acquisition of a location service in a device. In one aspect of such acquisition, the device can rely on location signals available globally in order to determine a region associated with the device, and in response to determination of the region, the device can acquire service information representative or otherwise indicative of the location service based at least on the region. In another aspect, the device can be configured to consume the location service. The agility of such acquisition can stem from the absence of (i) scanning for location services associated with the area in which the device is present and/or (ii) a predefined pool of location services established in production of the device.
