1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a first user equipment, a first message sent by second user equipment, wherein the first message comprises first indication information indicating that the second user equipment supports a user equipment-to-network relay function based on a layer-2, and wherein the first message is a device-to-device discovery message; and
receiving, by the first user equipment, a second message sent by a network device, wherein the second message comprises first information and first configuration information, wherein the first information indicates that at least one of the network device or a cell in which the network device sends the second message supports the user equipment-to-network relay function based on the layer-2, wherein the first configuration information comprises a second threshold, wherein the second threshold indicates that the first user equipment is allowed to send a user equipment-to-network relay discovery solicitation message in response to a reference signal receive power (RSRP) of a wireless link between the network device and the first user equipment being lower than the second threshold.
