Such methods include receiving, from a RAN node via the cell, one or more messages including a configuration for SL discovery and/or 5 communications. The configuration includes at least one of the following: a first indication of whether the RAN node supports SL relay functionality, a second indication of whether the RAN node supports SL discovery functionality, and one or more SL discovery configurations for UEs. Such methods also include, based on the configuration, selectively initiating a SL discovery procedure to discover at least a second UE that supports SL communications. Other embodiments 0 include complementary methods for a RAN node, as well as UEs and RAN nodes configured to perform such methods.
