A method for a communications system, wherein in response to detecting a radio link problem during a first phase of a radio link failure, a first user terminal (202) transmits (404) an indication of the detection of the radio link problem to a second user terminal (203) over a device-to-device link (206). In response to a report on the radio link problem detection of the first user terminal (202) being sent (406) from the second user terminal (203) to a network apparatus (201), the first user terminal (202) receives (409) a confirmation on a status of the report from the second user terminal (203) over the device-to- device link (206). Based on the confirmation, the first user terminal (202) decides (410), whether to stop a first radio link failure timer, reset the first radio link failure timer, or extend the first radio link failure timer. |
