Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for communication. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a communication method implemented at a network device is provided. The communication method comprises: determining, at a first network device, a path switch for a terminal device from a first path including the first network device to a second indirect path including a second network device; and transmitting, to the second network device, a handover request message including information to indicate the path switch to candidate relay and information on candidate relay user equipment (UE) for the second indirect path.
Claims20
A method for communication, comprising:
- determining, at a first network device, to perform a path switch for a terminal device from a first path including the first network device to a second indirect path including a second network device;
- and
- transmitting, to the second network device, a handover request message including first information to indicate the path switch to a candidate relay user equipment (UE) for the second indirect path and second information on the candidate relay UE.
A method for communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a second network device from a first network device, a handover request message for a path switch associated with a terminal device from a first path including the first network device to a second indirect path including the second network device, the handover request message including first information to indicate the path switch to a candidate relay user equipment (UE) for the second indirect path and second information on the candidate relay UE;
- and
- transmitting, to the candidate relay UE, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message for the path switch.
