Relay communication method and apparatus

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• receive first information sent by a first terminal device, wherein the first information is used to indicate that the first terminal device has limited uplink power;
• and
• send second information to a first radio access network device, wherein the second information is used to indicate a second terminal device that provides, in a target cell, a relay service for the first terminal device, the first radio access network device belongs to the target cell, and the first terminal device requires connection to the target cell.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, instructions;

• wherein the instructions are executed by a processor of to cause a computer, cause the computer to provide execution comprising:
• receiving first information sent by a first terminal device, wherein the first information is used to indicate that the first terminal device has limited uplink power;
• and
• sending second information to a first radio access network device, wherein
• the second information is used to indicate a second terminal device that provides, in a target cell, a relay service for the first terminal device,
• the first radio access network device belongs to the target cell, and
• the first terminal device requires connection to the target cell.
