Systems, methods, and devices for link quality based relay selection

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines a first link quality. The first link quality indicates a link quality of a first link between a first potential relay UE and the remote UE. The apparatus determines a second link quality. The second link quality indicates a link quality of a second link between the first potential relay UE and a first base station. The apparatus ranks the first potential relay UE relative to a second potential relay UE. The ranking of the first potential relay UE is based on a combination of the first link quality and the second link quality. The apparatus selects one of the first potential relay UE and the second potential relay UE for a relay connection based on the ranking of the first potential relay UE relative to the second potential relay UE.
