Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and corresponding apparatuses are provided herewith for determining whether a relay wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, may serve a network initiated connection at a remote WTRU based on the coverage status of the remote WTRU, on a Channel Busy Ratio, CBR, and on access control decision made by the network. The methods may comprise receiving an In-Coverage, IC, indication from the remote WTRU, indicating that the remote WTRU is IC of a suitable cell; receiving a paging message intended for a remote WTRU of a set of remote WTRUs handled by the relay WTRU; and on condition that the CBR is above a threshold, forwarding the paging message on Sidelink and indicating to the remote WTRU to trigger a Radio Resource Control, RRC, connection via Uu.
