Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). According to an embodiment of the disclosure, in a wireless communication system, a remote terminal transmits a relay request message to a target relay terminal. The remote terminal performs an IP allocation procedure with the target relay terminal. The remote terminal performs relay communication with the target relay terminal on the basis of the IP allocation procedure. The IP allocation procedure is performed using an IP address which has been used in previous relay communication with a source relay terminal.
