Abstract
A method and device are disclosed for a remote User Equipment (UE) to support UE-to-Network relay communication. In one embodiment, the method includes the remote UE connecting with a relay UE. The method also includes the remote UE connecting with a first network node via the relay UE. The method further includes the remote UE receiving a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) message from the first network node via the relay UE, wherein the first RRC message includes a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the remote UE used for constructing authentication information.
Claims14
A method for a remote User Equipment (UE) to support UE-to-Network relay communication, comprising:
- connecting with a relay UE;
- establishing a RRC connection between the remote UE and a network via the relay UE;
- receiving a Radio Resource Control Release (RRCRelease) message for suspension of the RRC connection from the network via the relay UE, wherein the RRCRelease message includes a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the remote UE, and the C-RNTI of the remote UE is used for generating authentication information to be included in a Radio Resource Control Resume Request (RRCResumeRequest) message or in a Radio Resource Control Resume Request1 (RRCResumeRequest1) message for requesting resumption of the RRC connection;
- and
- transmitting the RRCResumeRequest message or the RRCResumeRequest1 message to the network.
A remote User Equipment (UE) to support UE-to-Network relay communication, comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- and
- a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to:
- connect with a relay UE;
- establish a RRC connection between the remote UE and a first network node via the relay UE;
- receive a first Radio Resource Control Release (RRCRelease) message for suspension of the RRC connection from the network via the relay UE, wherein the RRCRelease message includes a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the remote UE, and the C-RNTI of the remote UE is used for generating authentication information to be included in a Radio Resource Control Resume Request (RRCResumeRequest) message or in a Radio Resource Control Resume Request1 (RRCResumeRequest1) message for requesting resumption of the RRC connection;
- and
- transmit the RRCResumeRequest message or the RRCResumeRequest1 message to the network.
