摘要： 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.

摘要： A computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that are used to perform operations. Operations include receiving, from a network, a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmissions in slots of a hybrid automatic repeating request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) window, decoding each of the PDSCH transmissions in the slots of the HARQ window, determining a HARQ-ACK feedback for each PDSCH transmission in the HARQ-ACK window, bundling the HARQ-ACK feedback for at least two of the PDSCH transmissions and reporting the bundled HARQ-ACK feedback for the HARQ window to the network.

摘要： Systems and methods for measuring at and reporting by a target user equipment (UE) of one or more positioning signals sent from one or more assisting UEs to the target UE are disclosed herein. The target UE may receive a positioning signal from an assisting UE according to a communication received at the target UE. The target UE may proceed to perform a positioning measurement using the positioning signal received from the target UE. The positioning measurement may be used by the target UE to estimate its own position, or the positioning measurement may be sent to another entity within a wireless communications system to be used in estimating the physical position of the UE. The handling of multiple received positioning signals from various sources, and the handling of situations where, for example, a transmission reception point (TRP) and an assisting UE may schedule overlapping positioning signals, ate also discussed.

摘要： A first user equipment (UE) is capable of serving as a relay for a second UE using a sidelink connection. The first UE determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied, the predetermined condition associated with the first UE operating as a relay for a second UE, transmits a discovery message and monitors for a signal from the second UE in response to the discovery message.

摘要： A user equipment (UE) is configured to join a standalone non-public network (SNPN). The receives SNPN information from one or more broadcast messages transmitted from a base station serving as an onboarding base station for the SNPN, determines whether the onboarding base station may be used for onboarding by the UE based on the SNPN information and UE SNPN information stored at the UE and onboards the UE to the SNPN when it is determined that the onboarding base station may be used for onboarding by the UE.

摘要： A user equipment (UE) is connected to a wireless network and operates in a carrier aggregation (CA) state that includes a first connection to a primary cell and a second connection to a secondary cell. The UE determines a beam failure has occurred for one of the first connection or the second connection and initiates a beam failure recovery (BFR) operation. The BFR operation includes transmitting, to the primary cell, a BFR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE).

摘要： A user equipment (UE) is configured to operate in a sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The UE establishes a sidelink with a further UE, configures a sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, receives first sidelink control information (SCI) and first data at a first time during the sidelink DRX cycle and receives second SCI at a second time during the sidelink DRX cycle.

摘要： An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a second UE and a wireless device and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured receive, from the second UE, an end-to-end (E2E) quality of service (QoS) requirement of an E2E connection between the second UE and the wireless device, wherein the E2E connection includes a first hop between the UE and the second UE and a second hop between the UE and the wireless device. The processor is further configured to obtain a first hop link condition and a second hop link condition; split the E2E QoS requirement into a first hop QoS requirement and a second hop QoS requirement based on the first hop link condition and the second hop link condition; and transmit, using the transceiver, the first hop QoS requirement to the second UE. The wireless device is a third UE or a base station.
