Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising: receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including a first configuration for the UE to configure a sidelink relay operation; and broadcasting a master information block sidelink (MasterInformationBlock-SL) including a second configuration that indicates that the UE performs the sidelink relay operation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising: transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including sidelink UE information in a case that the UE is configured by upper layer to perform a sidelink relay operation, wherein the sidelink UE information includes information indicating the UE acting as the sidelink relay. 2 - 6 . (canceled) 7 . A user equipment (UE), comprising: a transmit circuit configured to transmit a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including sidelink UE information in a case that the UE is configured by upper layer to perform a sidelink relay operation, wherein the sidelink UE information includes information indicating the UE acting as the sidelink relay.
