Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from minimization of service interruption. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from support for minimization of service interruption with device-to-device-based user-equipment-to-network relay. A method can include determining that a layer 3 relay is selected for a remote user equipment. The method can also include sending an indication to a serving access node about the relay selection.
