1. An integrated circuit for controlling a user equipment operable in a wireless communications system supporting direct communication between user equipments, the integrated circuit comprising:
control circuitry, which, in operation:
selects a sidelink destination group (ProSe destination) associated with a sidelink logical channel having a highest logical channel priority among sidelink logical channels, which have data available for transmission in a sidelink control period (SC period) and which have not previously been selected in the same sidelink control period, wherein each of the sidelink logical channels belongs to a sidelink destination group, each of the sidelink logical channels is allocated to a logical channel group (LCG) depending on a priority of said each sidelink logical channel and on a priority of the logical channel group, and the logical channel group is defined per sidelink destination group; and
allocates radio resources to sidelink logical channels belonging to the selected sidelink destination group in decreasing priority order; and
transmitting circuitry, which, in operation, transmits the data using the allocated radio resources.
