Abstract:
Methods, devices, systems, techniques, and computer program products are provided in which an eNB, within a wireless communications network, determining network coverage status relating to a cell served by it, where the eNB supports UE-to-Network relay for a remote UE using direct device-to-device communication between the remote UE and a relay UE connected to the serving cell. Based on a determination of network coverage status, at least one UE is initiated and selected to act as a relay UE. The radio interface link quality of the relay UE can be evaluated and the relay UE can be configured to send an indication of the radio interface link quality to the remote UE. Based on the determined network coverage status and selection of a relay UE, the remote UE is controlled by the eNB for the relay UE discovery and selection either directly or via the relay UE.

Claim (Index 9):
A method comprising:\n receiving, by a remote UE associated with a wireless communications network from an eNB or from one or more possible relay UEs, control information for relay UE discovery and selection, and network coverage status of a cell served by the eNB,\n wherein the one or more possible relay UEs is one of at least one UE in the cell served by the eNB; \n based on the received the control information and the network coverage status, initiating and performing radio measurement for relay UE discovery and selection; ascertaining whether the remote UE is within network coverage or out of network coverage of the wireless communications network; and determining whether the relay UE discovery and selection is an initial relay UE selection or a reselection; receiving an indication of the radio interface link quality of the one or more possible relay UEs; based on the indication, selecting a relay UE from the one or more possible relay UEs a needed service based on the radio measurement; and communicating by the remote UE with the wireless communications network via the selected relay UE.
