Relay Communication Method and Related Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957594 titled 'Relay Communication Method and Related Device
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a communication method and device that allows a network device to send configuration information to user equipment. The user equipment then obtains a first condition based on this information and sends a measurement report to the network device when the condition is met. The network device then provides a path switch command to indicate at least one candidate relay device to the user equipment. The user equipment selects a relay device from the candidates and communicates with the network device or another network device through the selected relay device.

Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a related device. The method includes: a network device firstly sends the configuration information to the user equipment, and then the user equipment obtains a first condition based on the configuration information. Then, in a measurement process, the user equipment sends a measurement report to the network device when determining that the first condition is currently met. After obtaining the measurement report, the network device indicates at least one candidate relay device to the user equipment by using a path switch command. The user equipment determines one relay device in the at least one candidate relay device, and communicates with the network device or another network device through the determined relay device.
