Abstract

A relay communication method, a device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: in response to receiving relay service requests sent by a plurality of remote terminals, performing a Quality of Service (QoS) capability detection on a relay terminal; and on the basis of a capability detection result, performing a relay access to the network for the plurality of remote terminals.

First claim

1 . A relay communication method, performed by a relay terminal, the method comprising:
performing, in response to receiving relay service requests sent by multiple remote terminals, a Quality of Service (QoS) capability detection on the relay terminal; and performing, based on a capability detection result, a relay access to the network for the multiple remote terminals.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing, based on the capability detection result, the relay access to the network for the multiple remote terminals, comprises:
sending, in response to the capability detection result indicating that a QoS capability is not sufficient to provide relay services for the multiple remote terminals simultaneously, limited resource indication information to at least one remote terminal among the multiple remote terminals, wherein the limited resource indication information is configured to indicate to the remote terminal to adjust a relay access network policy.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein sending the limited resource indication information to the at least one remote terminal among the multiple remote terminals, comprises:
sending, based on a priority level corresponding to each remote terminal among the multiple remote terminals, the limited resource indication information to at least one remote terminal whose priority level satisfies a preset condition.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
reestablishing, in response to satisfying a condition for establishing a packet data unit (PDU) session, the PDU session.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein satisfying the condition for establishing the PDU session, comprises at least one of:
a PDU session already established by the relay terminal being not sufficient to enable the multiple remote terminals to access the network; or indication information configured to indicate to establish a new PDU session being received.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing, based on the capability detection result, the relay access to the network for the multiple remote terminals, comprises:
performing, in response to the capability detection result indicating that a QoS capability is sufficient to provide relay services for the multiple remote terminals simultaneously, the relay access to the network for the multiple remote terminals.

7 . A relay communication method, performed by a remote terminal, the method comprising:
receiving limited resource indication information sent by a relay terminal, wherein the limited resource indication information is sent by the relay terminal in response to a Quality of Service (QoS) capability detection result indicating that a QoS capability is not sufficient to provide relay services for multiple remote terminals simultaneously; and adjusting, based on the limited resource indication information, a relay access network policy.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein adjusting the relay access network policy comprises:
adjusting, in response to the remote terminal supporting multiple QoS levels, a QoS level of the remote terminal.

9 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein adjusting the relay access network policy comprises:
adjusting the relay terminal that the remote terminal is to access.

10 .- 11 . (canceled)

12 . A relay terminal comprising:
a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: perform, in response to receiving relay service requests sent by multiple remote terminals, a Quality of Service (QoS) capability detection on the relay terminal; and perform, based on a capability detection result, a relay access to the network for the multiple remote terminals.

13 . (canceled)

14 . The relay terminal according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
send, in response to the capability detection result indicating that a QoS capability is not sufficient to provide relay services for the multiple remote terminals simultaneously, limited resource indication information to at least one remote terminal among the multiple remote terminals, wherein the limited resource indication information is configured to indicate to the remote terminal to adjust a relay access network policy.

15 . The relay terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
send, based on a priority level corresponding to each remote terminal among the multiple remote terminals, the limited resource indication information to at least one remote terminal whose priority level satisfies a preset condition.

16 . The relay terminal according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
reestablish, in response to satisfying a condition for establishing a packet data unit (PDU) session, the PDU session.

17 . The relay terminal according to claim 16 , wherein satisfying the condition for establishing the PDU session, comprises at least one of:
a PDU session already established by the relay terminal being not sufficient to enable the multiple remote terminals to access the network; or indication information configured to indicate to establish a new PDU session being received.

18 . The relay terminal according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
perform, in response to the capability detection result indicating that a QoS capability is sufficient to provide relay services for the multiple remote terminals simultaneously, the relay access to the network for the multiple remote terminals.

19 . A remote terminal, comprising:
a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: receive limited resource indication information sent by a relay terminal, wherein the limited resource indication information is sent by the relay terminal in response to a Quality of Service (QoS) capability detection result indicating that a QoS capability is not sufficient to provide relay services for multiple remote terminals simultaneously; and adjust, based on the limited resource indication information, a relay access network policy.

20 . The remote terminal according to claim 19 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
adjust, in response to the remote terminal supporting multiple QoS levels, a QoS level of the remote terminal.

21 . The remote terminal according to claim 19 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
adjust the relay terminal that the remote terminal is to access.
