Abstract

A system is disclosed in which a UE-Relay receives, from a user communication device, a message requesting the provision of a communication link (e.g. a Layer 2 link) between the user communication device and a network serving the user communication device. The UE-Relay communicates with its core network, responsive to the received message, to establish the communication link from the user communication device to a base station remote from the UE-Relay; and relays data, between the user communication device and the base station using the communication link.
