A method in a second wireless device for handling relay assistance from a first wireless device in a wireless network wherein the second wireless device is served by or is camping on a network node, the method comprises: measuring on reference signals from the network node, one or more out of a Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP, Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ, and Received Signal Strength Indicator, RSSI, the method comprising: sending a first beacon signal to the first wireless device when any one of the RSRP, RSSI, and/or RSRQ measurements falls below a threshold, which first beacon signal comprises information about preferred relay types of the second wireless device and which first beacon signal advertises that the second wireless device needs relay assistance in a radio communication, receiving a second beacon signal from the first wireless device, which second beacon signal comprises information about any one or more out of: link quality and/or signal strength to serving network node, relaying capability of the first wireless device and which second beacon signal advertises that the first wireless device provides relay assistance, in accordance with the preferred relay types, in a radio communication in the wireless network, and configuring a Device to Device, D2D, bearer between the first wireless device and the second wireless device based on the first beacon signal and/or the second beacon signal, enabling said communication to be performed via the D2D bearer wherein the first wireless device acts as a relay node, and estimating the pathloss between the second wireless device and the first wireless device on the second beacons signal, and estimating the pathloss between second wireless device and the network node, when the estimated pathloss between the second wireless device and the first wireless device is lower compared to the estimated pathloss between the second wireless device and the network node, selecting the first wireless device as a candidate for providing relay assistance. measuring on reference signals from the network node, one or more out of a Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP, Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ, and Received Signal Strength Indicator, RSSI, the method comprising: sending a first beacon signal to the first wireless device when any one of the RSRP, RSSI, and/or RSRQ measurements falls below a threshold, which first beacon signal comprises information about preferred relay types of the second wireless device and which first beacon signal advertises that the second wireless device needs relay assistance in a radio communication, receiving a second beacon signal from the first wireless device, which second beacon signal comprises information about any one or more out of: link quality and/or signal strength to serving network node, relaying capability of the first wireless device and which second beacon signal advertises that the first wireless device provides relay assistance, in accordance with the preferred relay types, in a radio communication in the wireless network, and configuring a Device to Device, D2D, bearer between the first wireless device and the second wireless device based on the first beacon signal and/or the second beacon signal, enabling said communication to be performed via the D2D bearer wherein the first wireless device acts as a relay node, and estimating the pathloss between the second wireless device and the first wireless device on the second beacons signal, and estimating the pathloss between second wireless device and the network node, when the estimated pathloss between the second wireless device and the first wireless device is lower compared to the estimated pathloss between the second wireless device and the network node, selecting the first wireless device as a candidate for providing relay assistance. sending a first beacon signal to the first wireless device when any one of the RSRP, RSSI, and/or RSRQ

the second wireless device based on the first beacon signal and/or the second beacon signal, enabling said communication to be performed via the D2D bearer wherein the first wireless device acts as a relay node, and estimating the pathloss between the second wireless device and the first wireless device on the second beacons signal, and estimating the pathloss between second wireless device and the network node, when the estimated pathloss between the second wireless device and the first wireless device is lower compared to the estimated pathloss between the second wireless device and the network node, selecting the first wireless device as a candidate for providing relay assistance.
