Abstract

The invention relates to a method for relaying a communication in a network, wherein a user equipment (UER) relays a communication between a network node entity (eNB) and a target entity (UET), the method including the steps, generating a logical channel at least between the user equipment relay (UER) and the target entity (UET), and assigning at least one identifier (LC_ID_R) to said logical channel, and upon reception from the network node entity (eNB), at the user equipment relay (UER), of data received with said identifier (LC_ID_R), the user equipment relay (UER) forwards the received data to the target entity (UET).
