1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a relay user equipment (UE) from a remote UE, a remote UE radio resource control (RRC) message for establishing a relayed communication between the remote UE and a network entity via the relay UE;
transmitting, by the relay UE to the network entity, a second remote UE RRC message and remote UE information configured to trigger the network entity to initiate a remote UE context setup procedure between the relay UE and the network entity;
receiving, by the relay UE from the network entity, a remote UE context setup request message associated with transmitting the second remote UE RRC message and the remote UE information; and
transmitting, by the relay UE to the network entity, a remote UE context setup response message associated with receiving the remote UE context setup request message, wherein the remote UE context setup response message includes a remote UE context identification corresponding to the remote UE communication context of the remote UE, and wherein a remote UE uplink/downlink RRC message transfer between the relay UE and the network entity utilizes the remote UE context identification, and wherein the remote UE context setup request message includes at least a sidelink access stratum (AS) configuration utilized between the relay UE and a remote UE sidelink unicast link, and wherein the sidelink AS configuration includes at least one of a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration, signaling radio bearer (SRB), dedicated radio bearer (DRB) configuration, and sidelink resource configuration.
