FIELD: computer equipment.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication terminals. Communication terminal serving as the first terminal contains: processing unit configured to establish a first communication channel with a second terminal, the first terminal being characterized in that it is adapted to function as a retransmitting device between the second terminal and the base station; reception unit configured to receive, using the first channel, a service request message transmitted by the second terminal; and transmission unit adapted to redirect the service request message received by the reception unit to the base station. In this case, the receiving unit is additionally configured to receive the first response message of the service transmitted by the base station; and the transmission unit is further configured to redirect the first response message of the service to the second terminal using the first communication channel, wherein the first response message of the service contains the first configuration information, and the first configuration information is the configuration information of the communication channels between the base station and the second terminal. Processing unit is further configured to set up a second communication channel with the second terminal and a third communication channel with the base station, in accordance with the second configuration information received by the receiving unit from the second terminal using the first communication channel, wherein the second communication channel and the third communication channel serve as communication channels between the second terminal and the base station, and the second configuration information is configuration information determined by the second terminal according to the first configuration information.
EFFECT: reduced network complexity.
