    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a first relay node discovery method and apparatus, and a storage medium. On a second relay node side, the method includes: receiving a first message, which carries an identifier of a target service; and broadcasting the first message. The first message is used to inform a second relay node to assist in discovering a first relay node capable of accessing the target service. Therefore, based on the second relay node, a remote terminal can discover the first relay node that is far away from the remote terminal through a multi-hop mode, which solves the problem that it is difficult for the remote terminal to discover the first relay node caused by the relatively long distance between the remote terminal and the first relay node.
