A method for use in managing handover of a relay user equipment, UE, from a source base station to a target base station, the relay UE serving one or more remote UEs via one or more sidelink connections, is disclosed. The method at the source base station comprises sending, to the target base station, a handover request for the relay UE and sending, to the target base station, remote UE information associated with all or some of the one or more remote UEs served by the relay UE. The remote UE information may be sent as part of managing handover of the relay UE. In an example, the remote UE information is associated with the remote UEs which would remain connected to the relay UE after handover for the relay UE is completed. Methods at the target base station and relay UE and apparatus are also disclosed.
A method for use in managing data delivery in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of User Equipment, UEs, for communicating data between a source base station and a remote User Equipment, UE, via at least one relay UE in a multi-hop communication path, the method performed by the remote UE comprising:
