Apparatuses, methods and systems for switching the communication mode of a remote UE are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor 405 and a wireless transceiver 425 in communication with a relay unit 120. Here, the processor 405 determines to hand over the relay unit 120, determines a group of one or more remote units 105 associated with the relay unit 120, and the relay unit 120 may be configured for that group. It is a repeater. The processor 405 selects the target base unit 110 of the mobile communication network based on the group of the relay unit 120 and the one or more remote units 105 and cannot be supported by the target base unit 110, Determine a first subgroup of remote units 105 from the group of one or more remote units 105. The processor 405 also sends a command to the remote unit 105 in the first subgroup of the remote units 105 to resume communication with the mobile communication network without using the relay unit 120.
