图12是该信息发送方法示意图,如图12所示,该方法包括:
1201,网络设备确定第二终端设备切换至通过第一终端设备与所述网络设备连接;
1202,网络设备向该第一终端设备发送第二标识信息,该第二标识信息用于指示所述第二终端设备的第二标识。
在一些实施例中,在1201中,第二终端设备的切换包括第一切换或第二切换,该第一切换是指该第二终端设备通过Uu接口与源网络设备连接(直接链路direct链路)切换至该第二终端设备通过第一终端设备与目标网络设备连接(间接链路indirect链路);该第二切换是指该第二终端设备通过源第一终端设备与源网络设备连接切换至通过目标第一终端设备与目标网络设备切换(indirect链路至indirect链路),该源网络设备与目标网络设备可以相同或不同,本申请实施例并不以此作为限制,网络设备确定第二终端设备是否/如何切换可以是根据第二终端设备上报的测量报告确定的,具体可以参考现有技术,此处不再赘述。

(一)第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间的连接在切换前还未建立
在该实施例中,该网络设备可以在第二终端设备切换完成前,向该第一终端设备发送第二标识信息,由于切换时第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间还未建立连接,第一终端设备并不了解第二终端设备相关的第一标识,因此也不知道分配的第二标识对应哪一个第二终端设备,在该实施例中,该方法还可以包括:(未图示)
网络设备向所述第二终端设备发送所述第二标识信息。
在该实施例中,网络设备可以通过第二RRC重配置消息承载该向第二终端设备发送的第二标识信息,以便后续第一终端设备和第二终端设备建立连接过程中或之后,第一终端设备和网络设备可以确定第一标识和第二标识的对应关系,即该方法还可以包括:(未图示)
在该第一终端设备与该第二终端设备建立连接后,该网络设备接收该第一终端设备发送的第一标识信息以及对应的该第二标识信息,该第一标识信息用于指示该第二终端设备相关的第一标识,该第一标识的含义可以参考第一方面的实施例。
在该实施例中,第一终端设备和第二终端设备经过建立连接,第一终端设备即可以确定第二标识和第一标识的对应关系(具体将在第四方面的实施例说明),该第一终端设备可以将该第一标识信息以及对应的所述第二标识信息发送给网络设备,该方 法还可以包括:网络设备使用或存储该第一标识与第二标识的对应关系。

例如,在被包含在边链路失败信息元sl-FailureList-r16中时,如果第一终端设备检测到与第二终端设备之间的边链路无线链路失败,并发送了SUI时,网络设备可以识别哪一个第二终端设备与第一终端设备之间发生了边链路无线链路识别(SL RLF),并停止通过第一终端设备向该第二终端设备发送数据,节省了开销。
(二)第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间的连接在切换前被建立
在该实施例中,由于切换时第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间已经建立连接,也就是说,第一终端设备已经了解了第二终端设备相关的第一标识,因此,在该实施例中,该方法还可以包括:(未图示)
在该第一终端设备与该第二终端设备建立连接后,该网络设备接收该第二终端设备发送的第一标识信息,该第一标识信息用于指示该第二终端设备相关的第一标识。
在该实施例中,第二终端设备可以通过测量报告消息承载该第一标识信息,也就是说,在切换前,网络设备已经获知了第二终端设备相关的第一标识,则在1202中,该网络设备可以同时将第二标识信息以及与该第二标识对应的该第一标识通知第一终端设备,也即,该第一RRC重配置消息除了承载该第二标识信息外,还指示与该第二标识对应的第一标识,即该方法还可以包括:(未图示)网络设备使用或存储该第一标识与第二标识的对应关系。具体实施方式可以参考第二方面的实施例,此处不再赘述。
由上述实施例可知,第二终端设备的标识可以被第一终端设备的服务网络设备配置,以便第一终端设备在转发第二终端设备的数据(例如RRC消息和用户面数据等)时可以使用该标识,有助于第二终端设备的RRC消息和用户面数据被网络设备正确识别。
