The present invention relates to the field of communications. Provided are a method, device, and equipment for communication. The method comprises: transmitting a second message to a third node, the second message being used for indicating the paging of the third node to access a network, or indicating the first node to provide the third node with a relay service, or indicating the third node to communicate with the first node, or indicating the third node to be configured in a low configuration mode or a high configuration mode, or indicating the third node to update a system message. The present invention, with the first node transmitting the second message to the third node, the second message being used for indicating the third node to perform a corresponding operation, solves the problem of great power consumption generated during D2D communication as a result of the third node being required to listen regularly for a message transmitted by the second node while performing D2D communication, thus achievi
