1. A discoverer user equipment apparatus, comprising a processor, a memory, communication circuitry, and computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, cause the discoverer user equipment apparatus to:
send, via a sidelink communication channel, a sidelink transmission comprising a discovery announcement comprising a logical channel identity of a sidelink communication logical channel, the discovery announcement further comprising one or more criteria for one or more services sought by the discoverer user equipment apparatus;
configure the communications circuitry to monitor for a response to the discovery announcement, wherein the response to the discovery announcement is associated with the sidelink communication logical channel; and;
receive, from a discoveree user equipment apparatus, the response, the response comprising a discovery response pertaining to the discovery announcement and comprising the logical channel identity of the sidelink communication logical channel, the discovery response further comprising one or more criteria for one or more services provided by the discoveree user equipment apparatus.
