Abstract
A UE operates in a system where a source UE communicates using SL communications with a destination UE and detects a SL coverage issue with the sidelink communications between the source and destination UEs. The UE sends, to at least the destination UE, an announcement concerning at least one of the sidelink coverage issue or the UE being available as a relay UE candidate for an indirect path to the destination UE. The destination UE receives the announcement and communicates with the UE to set up and use the indirect path.
