    Abstract: Facilitating sidelink-based relaying and multi-connectivity in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can comprise facilitating, by a first communications device comprising a memory and a processor, an establishment of multiple-connectivity for communication links between a second communications device and a third communications device. Facilitating the establishment of the multiple-connectivity for the communication links can comprise facilitating establishing a communication link between the second communications device and the third communications device. Facilitating the establishment of the multiple-connectivity for the communication links also can comprise facilitating establishing a first communication relay link between the second communications device and the first communications device and a second communication relay link between the first communications device and the third communications device.

    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards operating a user equipment node as a scheduler user equipment (e.g., which can be a local manager of other nodes in a group). The scheduler user equipment receives a scheduling request for the scheduling of the resources for transmission of data by a transmitter user equipment, and based on the traffic type requested, schedules the transmitter user equipment and receiver user equipment(s) with scheduling data / allocated radio resources. The transmitter user equipment can directly transmit to the receiver user equipment(s) on the allocated radio resources, e.g., without further involvement of the scheduler user equipment / local manager. For cellular data, the scheduler user equipment can schedule the transmitter user equipment to transmit to the scheduler user equipment as a receiver node.

    Abstract: In a 5G network, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network can experience radio link failures or radio blockage conditions in mmWave frequency bands. Local IAB nodes that experience such conditions can make route changes in response to such situations to prevent packet loss or significant packet delay. Thus, in an IAB network, local IAB nodes can also utilize a routing function that monitors local conditions of IAB links to determine whether a change in route is required or not. Additionally, the local IAB nodes can receive external routing updates that can preempt a local IAB node routing function. Consequently, the IAB node can consider local routing preferences and external routing preferences prior to updating a routing table of the IAB node.

    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter is directed towards scheduling and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) operations by which nodes in a three party communication system can communicate. To schedule a data transmission from a transmitter node to receiver node(s), a local manager/scheduler node sends common downlink control information to the transmitter and receiver nodes. Via a scheduling request, the transmitting node can request the scheduling of the data transmission by the local manager node. The technology facilitates unicast and broadcast/multicast data transmissions; for a unicast data transmission, the scheduling request identifies the receiving node. The transmitting node can explicitly acknowledge reception of the downlink control information to the local manager node, or the local manager node can detect the data transmission, when it occurs, as an implicit acknowledgment that the common downlink control information was successfully received.

    Abstract: A system that facilitates monitoring communication between a network node device and a communication device, wherein information is communicated by utilizing a first distribution unit (DU) node device comprising a first medium access control (MAC) layer component of the network node device and receiving condition information representative of a condition, wherein the condition indicates whether to add a second DU node device comprising a second MAC layer component to be utilized by the communication device. In response to determining that the condition indicates addition of the second DU node device, facilitating establishing a connection between the first MAC layer component of the first DU node device and the second MAC layer component of the second DU node device using a MAC interface and facilitating communication of control plane information and user plane information between the first MAC layer component and the second MAC layer component using the MAC interface.

    Abstract: Integrate access and backhaul (IAB) nodes can multiplex access and backhaul links in time, frequency, or space, which includes the transmission of signals and/or channels utilized as part of initial access and measurements used for radio resource management (RRM). The same physical layer signals and channels used for these purposes by access a user equipment device can be reused for performing similar procedures at the IAB node. Consequently, the IAB node can leverage various muting patterns to employ the use of half-duplex and full-duplex synchronization signal block radio resource management such that mobile terminal functionality and distributed unit functionality of the IAB node can receive and transmit signals simultaneously.
