Patent ID: 11064557

Abstract:
Provided are a method and device for establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection. The method includes: a relay terminal device receiving a first access stratum data packet sent by a remote terminal device, wherein the first access stratum data packet carries a device tag of the remote terminal device and RRC connection request information; the relay terminal device generating a second access stratum data packet on the basis of the first access stratum data packet; the relay terminal device sending the second access stratum data packet to a network device; the relay terminal device receiving a third access stratum data packet sent by the network device, wherein the third access stratum data packet carries the device tag of the remote terminal device and information for establishing an RRC connection; the relay terminal device generating a fourth access stratum data packet on the basis of the third access stratum data packet; and the relay terminal device sending the fourth access stratum data packet to the remote terminal device. The invention thereby allows a terminal device outside a coverage of a network device to generate an RRC connection.
