Abstract
This application discloses a relay communication method and apparatus, and pertains to the field of wireless communication technologies. The relay communication method performed by a first terminal includes: sending first information to a second terminal. The first information is used to indicate information related to a serving cell for the first terminal or used to indicate that mobility registration updating or radio access network-based notification area updating is performed by the second terminal.
Claims9
A method comprising:
- sending first information to a second terminal,
- wherein the first information is used to indicate information or used to indicate that mobility registration updating or radio access network-based notification area updating,
- wherein the information is related to a serving cell for a first terminal,
- wherein the radio access network-based notification area updating is performed by the second terminal,
- receiving second information sent by a second terminal before the sending of the first information, wherein the second information comprises state information of the second terminal;
- and
- determining content of the first information based on the second information before the sending of the first information;
- wherein the state information indicates that the second terminal is in a connection management idle state,
- wherein the second terminal is in both a connection management connected state and an radio resource control inactive state, or the second terminal is in a connection management connected state.
