Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices and methods of communication. In one aspect, a terminal device receives, from a network device, a message indicating that a first direct path between the terminal device and the network device is to be added or a second direct path between the terminal device and the network device is to be switched to the first direct path. Based on the message, the terminal device performs the addition of the first direct path or the switching towards the first direct path. In this way, once a direct path addition or switching is successful, a reconfiguration complete message may be sent to a network. Once a direct path addition or switching fails, UE may report failure information to a network or perform a reestablishment procedure.
