Abstract
Methods of operating a radio access network node and a core network node to link a remote user equipment, RMUE, device to a relay user equipment, RLUE, device in a communications network are described. The radio access network node operates to receive a message that includes information corresponding to either the RMUE device or the RLUE device having a connection that is established between the radio access network node and the corresponding one of the RMUE device or the RLUE device and that uses a first access and mobility management function, AMF. The radio access network node further operates to link the RMUE device to the RLUE device using the first AMF. The core network node operates to receive a message that a first AMF includes data corresponding to the RLUE device and links the RMUE device to the RLUE device based on the message.
