Claim 14:
15. A relay user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to:
establish a first direct communication link with a base station;
establish a sidelink communication link between the relay UE and a UE having a second direct communication link with the base station, based on a configuration information to enable the relay UE to relay communications between the UE and the base station; and
relay data between the UE and the base station via the sidelink communication link and the second direct communication link in response to the sidelink communication link being established with the data transmitted to and from the relay UE being duplicative of data transmitted directly between the base station and the UE using packet data convergence protocol (PDCP).
