Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to communicate with a further UE via a sidelink (SL). The UE encodes traffic for transmission to the further UE, wherein the traffic comprises a payload and a medium access control (MAC) subheader, wherein the MAC subheader indicates whether the payload corresponds to non-routed traffic between the UE and the further UE or routed traffic between either one of the UE or the further UE and a base station, wherein an other one of the UE or the further UE functions as a relay for the routed traffic and transmits the traffic.

Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) selects a second UE to act as a relay for the first UE. The first UE determines that multiple second UEs are available to operate as a relay for the first UE, wherein the determining is based on measurement data corresponding to communication interfaces between the first UE and each of the second UEs. The first UE selects a second UE from the multiple second UEs and transmits a signal to the second UE.

Abstract: A device, system, and method reduce a power usage while an activity state is detected. The method is performed at a device that establish a network connection to a first network via first cells and to a second network via second cells. The device is connected to the first network via a first cell of the first cells. The method includes determining an activity state or a non-activity state associated with the device. The method includes measuring a quality of the network connection via the first cell. When the activity state is determined and when the quality is at least a predetermined threshold, the method includes setting a first priority and a first scanning pace for the first cell and a second priority and a second scanning pace for other ones of the first cells and the second cells.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to deactivate/activate a point-to-multipoint (PTM) link of a multicast radio bearer (MRB). The UE receives, from a base station of a wireless network, a multicast radio bearer (MRB) configuration, wherein the MRB includes configuration of a split MRB including a point to multipoint (PTM) link and a point to point (PTP) link, deactivates or activates the PTM link based on the MRB configuration, reestablishes a radio link control (RLC) associated with the PTM link and recovers a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP).

Abstract: One embodiment described herein takes the form of a user equipment (UE). The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to associate with a secondary UE for collaborative transmission of a data payload of one of the UE or the secondary UE to a base station. The processor is configured to determine a link quality with the base station or the secondary UE, and determine a location of the UE or the secondary UE while associated with the secondary UE. The processor is configured to transmit to the base station or the secondary UE at least the determined link quality or the determined location, and determine to maintain, re-establish, or disable the association with the secondary UE based on at least one of a number of factors including: the determined link quality, the determined location, or an indication received from the base station.
