    Abstract: Technology for a relay user equipment (UE) operable to act as a relay between a remote UE and an eNodeB is disclosed. The relay UE can receive, from the eNodeB, a relay configuration message that includes one or more relay configuration parameters. The relay UE can identify relay UE information associated with one or more relay parameters of the relay UE. The relay UE can determine to act as the relay for the remote UE based on the one or more relay configuration parameters and the relay UE information. The relay UE can transmit a discovery message to the remote UE in order to establish a direct connection between the relay UE and the remote UE, wherein the relay UE is configured to relay data from the eNodeB to the remote UE via the direct convection between the relay UE and the remote UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The described techniques allow a user equipment (UE) to conserve power after transitioning from one coverage mode to another coverage mode based on power consumption estimates. The UE may make a determination on whether to modify its current extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) values by either triggering an unscheduled timing update or waiting for a scheduled timing update. For instance, the UE may estimate power consumption based on current eDRX values and the time remaining until a scheduled timing update procedure and compare this estimate to power consumption estimate based on modified eDRX values and the amount of power consumed to perform an unscheduled timing update procedure. Based on the comparison, the UE may update its eDRX values through an unscheduled TAU or through the regularly scheduled TAU procedure.

    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a state transitioning method for switching between a connected state and an inactive state and related apparatuses using the same. In one of the exemplary embodiments, the disclosure is directed to a state transitioning method used by a user equipment (UE) for switching between a connected state and an inactive state. The method would include not limited to: establishing a wireless connection to enter into a connected state; receiving an inactive state command while being in the connected state; entering into the inactive state in response to receiving the inactive state command; transmitting a connection resume request while being in the inactive state; receiving an uplink (UL) grant which corresponds to the connection resume request; and transmitting UL data in response to receiving the UL grant.
