Notification of relay capabilities for UE-to-network relay functions
One embodiment is a relay User Equipment (UE) enabled for UE-to-network relay. The relay UE determines relay capabilities for acting as a relay to re-transmit traffic between a remote UE and a network. The relay UE generates synchronization signals for synchronizing with other relay UEs in proximity for device-to-device (D2D) communication, and inserts an indication of the relay capabilities in the synchronization signals. The relay UE transmits the synchronization signals over-the-air to the other relay UEs.
