Abstract: Fast and flexible deployment of user equipment-based relays are disclosed. Numerous communication systems may benefit from appropriate use of relays. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from fast and flexible deployment of user equipment based relays. A method can include determining that a relay is to be set up for at least one user equipment. The method can also include setting up an access point name on a first core network element for the relay. The access point name can be configured to access an address of a second core network element.

Abstract: An apparatus including at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to obtain, over a series of times, information related to at least one of spatial properties and frequency properties of a channel used in a directional communication between a communication network control element or function and a communication element, to quantify the information related to at least one of spatial properties and frequency properties into a metric, to track whether the metric is smaller than a first threshold or greater than a second threshold during a predetermined period of time, and to decide to use a first transmission mode or a second transmission mode on the basis of a result of the tracking.
