Communication method and related device

Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a related device. In the method, a first terminal device receives a first radio resource control RRC message from a second terminal device, and then sends a first message to a network device through a first radio bearer configured by using obtained first configuration information. The first message includes a first RRC message that requests to set up an RRC connection between the second terminal device and the network device, and identification information of the second terminal device. In this way, communication between the second terminal device and the network device is implemented in a user equipment-to-network relay (U2N) scenario. This increases a success rate of accessing the network device by the second terminal device, enhances a coverage capability of the network device, and improves an access capacity of the network device.
