Device-to-device relay communication

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving, by a first base station from a first communication device, at least a first part of Quality of Service (QoS) information applicable between the first communication device and a relay communication device, wherein the first communication device is configured to communicate with a second communication device via the relay communication device,
• wherein the first part of QoS information includes a packet delay budget that indicates an upper bound value for a packet delay between the first communication device and the relay communication device;
• and
• transmitting, by the first base station, sidelink configuration information that is based on at least the first part of QoS information to the first communication device.
