Abstract:
A method for communications is proposed. The method may comprise obtaining, by a terminal device, network addresses of another terminal device from a message broker to which the terminal device and the another terminal device are registered. At least one of the terminal device and the another terminal device is connected to a cellular network. The method may further comprise initiating a connectivity check procedure to determine one or more candidate paths through which the terminal device has connectivity to the another terminal device. The one or more candidate paths are from at least two paths associated with the network addresses of the another terminal device. The method may further comprise selecting a path for the terminal device and the another terminal device among the one or more candidate paths, based at least in part on a predefined criterion.
