1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, at a first network node, information from a relay node associated with the first network node, the information comprising an indication of at least one second network node neighboring the first network node, wherein the information further comprises at least a first measurement identifier for a first communication link between the relay node and the first network node;

    determining, at the first network node, at least a second measurement identifier for a second communication link between the first node and the at least one second node;

    determining, at the first network node, unique mapping between the first measurement identifier exchanged between the relay node and the first network node and the second measurement identifier exchanged between the at least one second network node and the first network node; and

    communicating messages between the relay node and the second node using the unique mapping, at least by modifying measurement identifiers for messages communicated between the relay node and the second node, wherein the messages comprises at least some information indicating current available resources of the at least one second network node to the relay node.
