    Abstract: In an example embodiments, sending, by a remote user equipment (UE) of a source cell, towards a network node of the source cell a measurement report including a candidate relay (CR) list, wherein the CR list includes at least a cell identification for at least one CR UE for an indirect path switching from the source cell to a target cell associated with a CR UE; detecting a change of a serving cell or camping cell of the CR UE from the target cell to another cell based on receiving from the CR UE at least one message that indicates at least one cell identification for the CR UE is different than reported; and based on the detecting, sending an updated measurement report towards the network node triggering renewing a path switch decision or initiating a radio resource control connection re-establishment procedure with the source cell or the target cell.

    Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a method comprising receiving a configuration of a resource pool for sidelink communication; determining there is a need for assistance from one or more other UEs in proximity in resource reservation or resource selection from the configured resource pool for SL communication of the UE; sending a request over SL for the needed assistance from the one or more other UEs in proximity based on the determination; monitoring and receiving possible response from the one or more other UEs in proximity which may include recommended resource from the configured resource pool for the request of UE; selecting resource for SL communication of the UE by taking into account the received response; and performing SL communication using the selected resource.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of Channel Occupancy Time (COT) for Sidelink (SL) communication in Unlicensed band (U-band). The method includes receiving, at a first device and from a second device, configuration information associated with a COT at least for a SL transmission of the first device on an unlicensed resource pool allocated for the first device, the configuration information at least indicating whether a listen before talk procedure is required to be performed at the first device within the COT before the SL transmission; and performing the SL transmission within the COT based on the configuration information. In this way, the COT sharing mechanism can be used for SL communications in U-band and therefore a sensing procedure for resource selection may not be impacted by the LBT procedure.

    Abstract: Various example embodiments provide efficient burst transmission of duplicated data packets. A data burst comprising multiple data packets may be configured to be transmitted on a first transmission leg. The data burst may be further configured to be transmitted on a second transmission leg with a different order of data packets. A reception status of the data packets may be configured to be determined based on transmissions on the first and second transmission legs and non-acknowledged data packets may be retransmitted on the first transmission leg and/or the second transmission leg. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for remote user equipment direct to indirect path switching in sidelink relay are provided. For example, a method can include receiving, at a user equipment from a network element, a system information block message having an information element to configure monitoring of paging messages at a common paging occasion, which can be configured for user equipment that are in idle or inactive state and that are configured to act as a user-equipment-to-network relay user equipment. The method may also include monitoring a page at the common paging occasion based on the information element. The method may further include sending a random access preamble dedicated to the user equipment in response to the page. The method may additionally include performing a state transition to connected mode only after a response to the random access preamble is received.

    Abstract: There is provided a first apparatus for a first terminal, wherein the first terminal has a unicast link established with a second terminal. The first apparatus includes at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the first apparatus at least to: receive, from the second terminal, assistance information for a preferred discontinuous reception, DRX, configuration for the second terminal; determine a DRX configuration for the second terminal using: the received assistance information, and other information acquired by the first terminal related to DRX operations of terminals other than the second terminal; and provide, to the second terminal, the determined DRX configuration for the second terminal to be applied on the unicast link between the first and second terminals.
