The patent filed by Sharp Corp. describes a method for user equipment (UE) to handle communication path release commands received from a network during direct C2 communication. The UE is able to indicate an appropriate cause value when releasing the communication path, ensuring efficient management of the direct C2 communication.

Claim 1 of the patent outlines a UE with a transmission and/or reception unit that, upon receiving a message to release a PDU session for C2 communication from the network, transmits a direct link release request message to another UE connected via a PC5 link. This message includes first identification information in the form of a cause value indicating C2 connection revocation, allowing for seamless communication path release in the C2 connection revocation procedure.
