Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a method for a relay entity to provide a user ID of a remote UE under privacy protection to a first Network Function (NF) in a network, wherein connectivity between the remote UE and the network is provided by the relay entity, comprising obtaining contact information of a second NF and a private ID corresponding to the user ID from the second NF, wherein the contact information can be used by the first NF to contact the second NF to resolve the user ID based on the private ID; and sending the contact information and the private ID to the first NF. Corresponding methods for the remote UE, the first NF and the second NF are also provided. The corresponding apparatus, system, device, computer-readable storage and carrier, etc. thereof are also provided.
