Abstract
A method for Non-IP traffic communication by UE-to-UE relay is provided. The method is implemented by a network device in a communication network. The method includes receiving a first Direct Communication Request from a source UE. The first Direct Communication Request indicates the establishment of a Non-IP communication link with the source UE and includes a first source UE identifier for the source UE and a first target UE identifier for a target UE. The network device generates a first relay identifier for a relay used in the Non-IP communication link between a source UE and the target UE. The network device maintains a mapping between the first relay identifier, the first source UE identifier, and the first target UE identifier.
