Method and device for wireless communication

A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

• a first receiver, receiving a first message indicating a switch from a direct path to an indirect path;
• and starting a first timer, wherein an expiration of the first timer triggers a Radio Resource Control (RRC) re-establishment;
• the first receiver, receiving a first signal on a sidelink after starting a first timer and before the expiration of the first timer;
• and stopping the first timer in response to receiving the first signal;
• a first transmitter, transmitting a second message used for feedback of the first message, wherein the first message is transmitted via the direct path, the second message is transmitted via the indirect path, the first and second messages are RRC messages, the second message is relayed by a transmitter of the first signal, and the first message is used for starting the first timer,
• wherein the RRC re-establishment comprises:
• selecting a third node, the third node belonging to a first candidate relay list, and the first candidate relay list being related to the switch from the direct path to the indirect path;
• transmitting an RRC re-establishment request message via the third node using the indirect path;
• and
• deleting the first candidate relay list in response to applying the first message, and
• wherein during a procedure while the first message is applied, a first candidate cell list is reserved, the first candidate cell list being related to a conditional reconfiguration, and wherein the first candidate cell list comprises at least one cell.

• and
• the first receiver, during a time while the first timer is running, maintains a conditional reconfiguration evaluation for a conditional handover (CHO), and stops an evaluation for a conditional switch from the direct path to the indirect path.
