6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising, in response to identifying the paging message includes the paging identity of the remote UE, transmitting, to the remote UE, a message including paging information for the remote UE.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, in case that the relay UE is in a RRC connected state and the active BWP of the relay UE is configured with the information on paging search space, the paging message for the remote UE is monitored, based on a paging occasion of the remote UE, and

wherein, in case that the relay UE is in the RRC connected state and the active BWP of the relay UE is configured without the information on paging search space, the information related to the remote UE including the paging identity of the remote UE is transmitted to the BS.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the remote UE including the paging identity of the remote UE is forwarded to a target BS in case that the relay UE handovers to the target B S.

9. A method performed by a remote user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a relay UE, information related to the remote UE including a paging identity of the remote UE, wherein the paging identity of the remote UE includes a 5G-S-temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI) of the remote UE, and an inactive radio network temporary identifier (I-RNTI) of the remote UE in case that the remote UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state; and

receiving a paging message related to the remote UE, based on a result of identifying whether an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the relay UE is configured with information on paging search space.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, from a relay UE, a paging configuration, wherein the paging configuration includes at least one of a number of total paging frames, a number of paging occasions for a paging frame, an offset for a paging frame, or a first DRX cycle of a remote UE; and

wherein a paging occasion of the remote UE for receiving a paging message for the remote UE is monitored by the relay UE,

wherein a third DRX cycle is identified based on the first DRX cycle,

wherein a paging frame of the remote UE is identified based on at least one of the third DRX cycle, an identity of the remote UE, the offset for the paging frame, or the number of total paging frames, and

wherein the paging occasion of the remote UE is identified based on the identity of the remote UE, the number of total paging frames, and the number of paging occasions for the paging frame,

wherein the identity of the remote UE is identified based on a modulo function of the 5G-S-TMSI of the remote UE.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising identifying a second DRX cycle of the remote UE as a minimum value of a DRX cycle configured by an upper layer to the remote UE and a DRX cycle configured by a base station to the remote UE, or the DRX cycle configured by the upper layer to the remote UE.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving, from the relay UE, a message including paging information for the remote UE in case that the paging message including the paging identity of the remote UE included in a RRC message is transmitted by a base station.
