Abstract
Methods are provided to support path selection for a remote UE configured with multipath in a UE-to-network relay. A direct path or an indirect path is set as the primary path. Side information of the indirect path is considered for path selection. A remote UE can select a suitable path by utilizing the side information for path selection to check whether an indirect path can fulfill the QoS requirement of arriving UL traffic. In a network-controlled path selection, the base station can request UE to send side information. The base station indicates the selected path or the change of primary path to the UE via explicit signaling. Each path is identified by a path ID. The path indication is in a granularity of per radio bearer, per QoS flow, per logical channel, or per logical channel group.
