Abstract
The present disclosure proposes a method for a relay UE to handle a first SI request received from a remote UE, while a prohibit timer in the relay UE for requesting SI from a base station is running, the method comprising: obtaining SI requested by the first SI request; and sending the SI to the remote UE, once the SI is obtained. With this method, the relay UE is allowed to handle an SI request received from a remote UE effectively, and the remote UE is allowed to get the requested SI via the relay UE as soon as possible.
