In some embodiments, when the first node selects the second node, the second node needs to establish a connection to the first node.
Further, in a case that the second node is a node that needs to establish a connection to the first node, the step that the first node selects the second node is performed in a process of establishing a connection between the first node and the second node, and/or after the process of establishing a connection between the first node and the second node.

In some embodiments, the first node selects the second node after a connection is established between the first node and the second node.
In some embodiments, the second node is selected in the process of establishing a connection between the first node and the second node and after a connection is established between the first node and the second node. For example, the first node is a UE A, the second node includes a UE B and a UE C, the UE A selects the UE B in a process of establishing a connection to the UE B, and the UE A selects the UE C after establishing a connection to the UE C.

For example, in a process that a UE having a positioning demand establishes a PC5 unicast link, the positioning requirement and/or positioning-related information are/is placed in a request message for establishing the PC5 unicast link.
After obtaining the first information sent by the first node, if the second node determines that the second node meets a positioning requirement in the first information or that the second node is interested in the positioning-related information in the first information, the second node may respond to the first node.
