Relaying in a device-to-device communication system

A relay user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive, on a downlink channel from a network entity, at least one indication including resource allocation information for at least one of the relay UE or a remote UE;
• and
• transmit, on a sidelink channel to the remote UE, the resource allocation information of the remote UE.

A remote user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive, on at least one sidelink channel, resource allocation information from a relay UE, the resource allocation information indicating one or more resources allocated for sidelink communication for the remote UE;
• and
• transmit, on one or more sidelink channels, data to the relay UE in accordance with the one or more resources allocated for sidelink communication.
