Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a remote user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a relay UE, a request for a Layer 2 relay service and a relay service code associated with the Layer 2 relay service; receive, from the relay UE, a message indicating that the relay UE accepts the Layer 2 relay service associated with the relay service code; establish a radio access signaling radio bearer (SRB) for the Layer 2 relay service using a remote UE radio access SRB configuration; and communicate via the radio access SRB. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a remote user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting, to a relay UE, a request for a Layer 2 relay service and a relay service code associated with the Layer 2 relay service;
- receiving, from the relay UE, a message indicating that the relay UE accepts the Layer 2 relay service associated with the relay service code;
- establishing a radio access signaling radio bearer (SRB) for the Layer 2 relay service using a remote UE radio access SRB configuration;
- and
- communicating via the radio access SRB.
A method of wireless communication performed by a relay user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a remote UE, a request for a Layer 2 relay service and a relay service code associated with the Layer 2 relay service;
- providing, to the remote UE, a message indicating whether the relay UE accepts the Layer 2 relay service based at least in part on the relay service code;
- and
- establishing, when the relay UE accepts the Layer 2 relay service associated with the relay service code, a radio access signaling radio bearer (SRB) with the remote UE for the Layer 2 relay service using a remote UE radio access SRB configuration.
A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
- receiving, from a relay user equipment (UE), an indication that the relay UE supports a Layer 2 relay service;
- transmitting a relaying configuration to the relay UE based at least in part on the indication;
- and
- communicating with a remote UE via the relay UE based at last in part on the relaying configuration.
A remote user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
- transmit, to a relay UE, a request for a Layer 2 relay service and a relay service code associated with the Layer 2 relay service;
- receive, from the relay UE, a message indicating that the relay UE accepts the Layer 2 relay service associated with the relay service code;
- establish a radio access signaling radio bearer (SRB) for the Layer 2 relay service using a remote UE radio access SRB configuration;
- and
- communicate via the radio access SRB.
