Original Abstract Submitted
In the examples described herein, a base station transmits, to a remote UE device over a direct Uu communication link, an RRC Reconfiguration Message with Sync identifying a target relay UE device and explicitly or implicitly identifying a cell for reselection by the target relay UE device. The identified cell is provided by the base station, and the remote UE device is connected to the cell. The remote UE device receives, from the target relay UE device, a discovery message. Based at least partially on the discovery message, the remote UE device determines whether the target relay UE device is connected to the cell. In response to determining that the target relay UE device is not connected to the cell, the remote UE device transmits, to the base station over the direct Uu communication link, a message indicating that handover to the target relay UE device is not possible.
