Method and device for wireless communication

A second node for wireless communications, comprising:

• a second transmitter, transmitting a first signaling, the first signaling being used to indicate a transition from a first radio link to a second radio link;
• the first radio link is a direct path;
• the first signaling is used for configuring a first timer;
• a receiver of the first signaling, in response to expiration of the first timer, determining a radio link handover failure and initiating an RRC re-establishment;
• and
• a second receiver, receiving a first message;
• wherein a format of the first message and the first timer are respectively related to whether the second radio link is a direct path or an indirect path;
• the first signaling is an RRC message using an SRB;
• the first message is an RRC message using an SRB;
• the first message comprises at least a first identity;
• transmitting the first message is later than the expiration of the first timer;
• when the second radio link is a direct path, the first message uses a first format, when the second radio link is an indirect path, the first message uses a second format;
• the first format and the second format are respectively used to indicate the radio link handover failure (HOF);
• the indirect path is in communication with the network via relay;
• the direct path is in communication with the network without relay;
• when the second radio link is a direct path, the first timer is T304, when the second radio link is an indirect path, the first timer is a timer other than T304.
