THE FIRST WIRELESS TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER (WTRU) AND THE METHOD IMPLEMENTED BY THE FIRST WIRELESS TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER (WTRU)

Abstract

The methods and corresponding equipment proposed in the description are to determine whether the wireless relay transceiver, WTRU, can serve a connection initiated by the network at the remote WTRU based on the coverage status of the remote WTRU, based on the channel busyness ratio (CBR), and based on the access control decision made by the network. These methods may include receiving an In Coverage Area (IC) signal from the remote WTRU indicating that the remote WTRU is the IC of the matching cell; receiving a paging message intended for the remote WTRU from the set of remote WTRUs processed by the relay WTRU; and, provided the CBR is on threshold, forwarding the paging message to the side link and indicating to the remote WTRU to activate Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection via Uu.
