Question: What is the nature of User Equipment (UE) support for Sidelink Remote UE Operation in E-UTRA networks?
Option 1: Mandatory, as specified in the RRC protocol for all UEs
Option 2: Optional, with specifications outlined in the RRC protocol for interested UEs
Option 3: Conditional, dependent on the UE's capability to support a minimum of two simultaneous radio links
Option 4: Not Applicable, as Sidelink Remote UE Operation is not addressed in E-UTRA standards
Explanation: The correct answer reflects that supporting Sidelink Remote UE Operation is not compulsory for all UEs in an E-UTRA network. This flexibility allows for varied device capabilities, catering to different user needs and device types without mandating universal support for this feature. The RRC protocol (Radio Resource Control) provides the framework within which such operations are specified, ensuring standardized implementation for those UEs that do choose to support it.
