Abstract

Provided are a delinking method implemented by a remote UE in a wireless communication system, and a device using said method. The method is characterized by: receiving a disconnect message for disconnecting a link between a relay UE and the remote UE; disconnecting the link on the basis of the disconnect message; and not attempting to establish a link between the remote UE and the relay UE in a UE-specified time section.

Claims (15)

1. A method for releasing a link between a relay user equipment (UE) and a remote UE in a wireless communication system, the method performed by the remote UE and comprising:

receiving, from the relay UE, a connection release message for releasing the link, wherein the connection release message includes one release reason of a plurality of release reasons, wherein the plurality of release reasons comprise i) ‘direct communication to the remote UE no longer needed’, ii) ‘direct communication with the remote UE is no longer allowed’ and iii) ‘direct communication is not available anymore;’

releasing the link based on the connection release message; and

triggering a relay reselection based on the connection release message, wherein the remote UE selects a new relay UE among candidate relay UEs during the relay reselection,

wherein based on the one release reason being the ii) ‘direct communication with the remote UE is no longer allowed’ other than the i) ‘direct communication to the remote UE no longer needed’ and the iii) ‘direct communication is not available any more’ among the plurality of release reasons, the remote UE i) shall not attempt to start direct link setup with the relay UE at least for a time duration and ii) shall exclude the relay UE from the candidate relay UEs during the relay reselection, and

wherein the time duration is autonomously determined by the remote UE.

2. A remote user equipment (UE) which is connected to a relay UE, comprising:

a transceiver which transmits or receives a radio signal; and

a processor operatively connected with the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from the relay UE, a connection release message for releasing a link between the UE and the relay UE, wherein the connection release message includes one release reason of a plurality of release reasons, wherein the plurality of release reasons comprise i) ‘direct communication to the remote UE no longer needed’, ii) ‘direct communication with the remote UE is no longer allowed’ and iii) ‘direct communication is not available anymore;’

release the link based on the connection release message; and

trigger a relay reselection based on the connection release message, wherein the remote UE selects a new relay UE among candidate relay UEs during the relay reselection,

wherein based on the one release reason being the ii) ‘direct communication with the remote UE is no longer allowed’ other than the i) ‘direct communication to the remote UE no longer needed’ and the iii) ‘direct communication is not available any more’ among the plurality of release reasons, the remote UE i) shall not attempt to start direct link setup with the relay UE at least for a time duration and ii) shall exclude the relay UE from the candidate relay UEs during the relay reselection, and

wherein the time duration is autonomously determined by the remote UE.
