1. An electronic device at user equipment side in a wireless communication system, comprising:
circuitry configured to
decide to communicate with a network side apparatus via a relay node within proximity;
generate and send out a discovery signal, wherein the discovery signal comprises an indication of relay service requirement;
receive a response message from another user equipment, wherein the response message indicates information that the other user equipment matches the relay service requirement and information that the other user equipment is available as the relay node; and
transmit a data packet to the other user equipment based on the response message so that the data packet is subsequently forwarded to the network side apparatus via the other user equipment,
wherein the discovery signal comprises an indication of characteristics of the data packet to be transmitted for the other user equipment determining transmission resources for the electronic device.
