Abstract
The present disclosure provides a communication method. The method includes: sending a handover request to a second network device, where the handover request is used to request a handover of a terminal device to a relay device, and the relay device is within a coverage of the second network device; receiving a handover response from the second network device, where the handover response includes a first local identifier, the first local identifier is used to identify the terminal device in relay communication after a handover to the relay device, and the first local identifier is different from a device identifier of the terminal device.
Claims12
A communication method, applied to a first network device, the method comprising:
- sending a handover request to a second network device, wherein the handover request is used to request a handover of a terminal device to a relay device, and the relay device is within a coverage of the second network device;
- receiving a handover response from the second network device, wherein the handover response comprises a first local identifier, the first local identifier is used to identify the terminal device in relay communication after the handover to the relay device;
- sending a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message to the terminal device, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises the first local identifier.
5-19. (canceled)
A communication method, applied to a terminal device, the method comprising:
- receiving a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from a first network device, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises a first local identifier, wherein the first local identifier is used to identify the terminal device in relay communication after a handover to a relay device, and the relay device is within a coverage of a second network device;
- establishing a PC5 connection with the relay device, and sending an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the second network device via the relay device.

23-26. (canceled)
A communication device, comprising:
- a processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor;
- wherein,
- the memory stores a computer program therein;
- and
- the processor executes the computer program to cause the communication device to:
- receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from a first network device, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message comprises a first local identifier, wherein the first local identifier is used to identify a terminal device in relay communication after a handover to a relay device, and the relay device is within a coverage of a second network device;
- establish a PC5 connection with the relay device, and send an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the second network device via the relay device.
