    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to a user equipment (UE) performing radio link monitoring of a sidelink. The UE may transmit a signal over the sidelink and receive an indication of a type of hybrid automatic repeating request (HARQ) feedback in response to the signal. The UE may then generate a radio link metric associated with the sidelink based on the type of HARQ feedback. The UE may determine that the radio link metric satisfies a predetermined threshold and initiate a keep alive procedure for the sidelink based on the radio link metric satisfying the predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: The disclosure is related to handover methods in a wireless network. A user equipment (UE) may connect to a first next generation Node B (gNB) of a 5G new radio (NR) network. The UE may then receive a handover command from the first gNB via one of a Layer 1 signaling or Layer 2 signaling that instructs the UE to perform a handover procedure to handover to a second gNB. The UE may then conduct the handover procedure with the second gNB for the UE to connect to the second gNB. Correspondingly, the first gNB may instruct the UE to perform a handover procedure based on a handover command that is transmitted from the first gNB via one of a Layer 1 signaling or Layer 2 signaling, wherein the handover command comprises an identification of a Transmission and Configuration Indication (TCI) state that is associated with the second gNB.
