Relay UE selecting method performed by UE in wireless communication system and UE using the same
A method of selecting a relay user equipment (UE) performed by a remote UE in wireless communication system, and a UE using the method are provided. The method includes determining whether a measurement of a current relay UE is smaller than a threshold and selecting a candidate relay UE satisfying a specific condition as a relay UE when the measurement of the current relay UE is smaller than the threshold. Here, the candidate relay UE is selected as a relay UE only when a measurement of the candidate relay UE is greater than a minimum hysteresis value (minHyst) based on the threshold.
1. A method for selecting a relay user equipment (UE) performed by a remote UE in wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining whether a measurement of a current relay UE is smaller than a threshold; and
selecting a candidate relay UE satisfying a specific condition as a relay UE when the measurement of the current relay UE is smaller than the threshold,
wherein the candidate relay UE is selected as the relay UE when a measurement of the candidate relay UE is greater than a minimum hysteresis value (minHyst) based on the threshold, and
wherein, when an upper layer of the remote UE indicates a relay UE reselection, the candidate relay UE satisfying the specific condition is selected as the relay UE even if the measurement of the current relay UE is equal to or greater than the threshold.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement of the current relay UE is a reference signal received power (RSRP) of a reference signal received from the current relay UE.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is provided by a network.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the current relay UE and the selected relay UEs are devices providing a relay service between the remote UE and a network.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transferring a connection from the current relay UE to the selected candidate relay UE.
6. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver to transmit and receive a radio signal; and
a processor operatively connected to the transceiver,
wherein the processor:
determines whether a measurement of a current relay UE is smaller than a threshold, and
selects a candidate relay UE satisfying a specific condition as a relay UE when the measurement of the current relay UE is smaller than the threshold,
wherein the candidate relay UE is selected as the relay UE only when a measurement of the candidate relay UE is greater than a minimum hysteresis value (minHyst) based on the threshold, and
wherein, when an upper layer of the remote UE indicates a relay UE reselection, the candidate relay UE satisfying the specific condition is selected as the relay UE even if the measurement of the current relay UE is equal to or greater than the threshold.
7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the measurement of the current relay UE is a reference signal received power (RSRP) of a reference signal received from the current relay UE.
8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the threshold is by from a network.
9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the current relay UE and the selected relay UEs are devices providing a relay service between the UE and a network.
10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor further transfers a connection from the current relay UE to the selected candidate relay UE.
