Abstract: A method and an apparatus for performing direct communication with at least one other user equipment are provided. The method and apparatus comprises upon generation of an event requiring the direct communication, transmitting a floor request, monitoring whether a response to the floor request is received from at least one adjacent UE, if a response to the floor request is not received until the floor request is transmitted a predetermined number of times at a predetermined interval, determining that a transmission right for the direct communication is granted, and if it is determined that the transmission right is granted, transmitting a signal to the at least one other UE by the direct communication.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method for managing Mission Critical Push To Talk (MCPTT) broadcast call between a first MCPTT client and a second MCPTT client in an off-network system. The method includes establishing, by the first MCPTT client, a broadcast call, where the first MCPTT client is transitioned from a first broadcast control state to a second broadcast control state after establishing the broadcast call. Further, the method includes releasing, by the first MCPTT client, the broadcast call, where the first MCPTT client is transitioned from the second broadcast control state to the first broadcast control state after releasing the broadcast call.

Abstract: A method of improving quality of experience (QoE) in a first device which shares a screen of the first device with a second device includes: detecting a class of a content currently displayed on the screen; determining a QoE policy based on the detected class of the content; encoding a screen image of the screen based on the determined QoE policy; and transmitting the encoded screen image to the second device. As such, when a screen is shared among a plurality of devices, optimal QoE may be achieved with respect to each class of a content.

Abstract: A data communication method using forward error correction (FEC) includes: receiving at least one of symbols that constitute one encoding block unit; extracting information related to parameters that adjust an FEC encoding rate from the at least one symbol; determining whether an error may be corrected based on the extracted information related to the parameters and a number of symbols with errors from among the symbols that constitute the encoding block unit; and transmitting feedback information related to the symbols prior to the symbols that constitute the encoding block unit being completely received based on the determination of whether an error may be corrected.
