The transceiver 1510 is configured to receive a second layer-2 PDU sent by relay terminal equipment. The second layer-2 PDU is generated by the relay terminal equipment according to a first layer-2 PDU sent by sender equipment. The first layer-2 PDU contains identification information of a remote terminal equipment, or the first layer-2 PDU is scheduled through a PDCCH scrambled by adopting an RNTI of the remote terminal equipment.
The processor 1520 is configured to determine the remote terminal equipment corresponding to the second layer-2 PDU received by the transceiver 1510.
Here, the sender equipment is the remote terminal equipment and the device 1500 is network equipment, or the sender equipment is the network equipment and the device 1500 is the remote terminal equipment.
