    Abstract: Technology for a relay user equipment (UE) operable to act as a relay between a remote UE and an eNodeB is disclosed. The relay UE can receive, from the eNodeB, a relay configuration message that includes one or more relay configuration parameters. The relay UE can identify relay UE information associated with one or more relay parameters of the relay UE. The relay UE can determine to act as the relay for the remote UE based on the one or more relay configuration parameters and the relay UE information. The relay UE can transmit a discovery message to the remote UE in order to establish a direct connection between the relay UE and the remote UE, wherein the relay UE is configured to relay data from the eNodeB to the remote UE via the direct convection between the relay UE and the remote UE.

    Abstract: Technology for switching a user equipment (UE) from a lightweight radio resource control (RRC) connection to a legacy RRC connection is disclosed. A radio base station can determine that the UE is to switch from the lightweight RRC connection with the radio base station to the legacy RRC connection with the radio base station, wherein the UE is configured to perform small data transmissions when the lightweight RRC connection is established for the UE. The radio base station can instruct the UE to perform a service request procedure in order for the UE to transition from the lightweight RRC connection to the legacy RRC connection. The radio base station can receive a service request message from the UE when the service request procedure is initiated at the UE, wherein the radio base station is configured to facilitate switching the UE from the lightweight RRC connection to the legacy RRC connection.
