Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose a relay communication method and a communications apparatus, and relate to the field of communications technologies, to resolve a problem that communications system performance is unable to be met because remote UE selects relay UE to forward data in existing relay communication. The method includes a network device obtains a measurement report that includes signal quality of a sidelink (sidelink, SL) between first user equipment and at least one second user equipment and a radio network identifier of the at least one second user equipment. The network device selects target relay user equipment, of the first user equipment, from the at least one second user equipment based on the measurement report and selection assistance information associated with each second user equipment.
