    Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing beam failure recovery during an inter-cell connection involving a UE in communication with one or more base stations in a cellular communication system. In various embodiments, a user equipment determines one or more beam failures by monitoring one or more reference signals transmitted by one or more base stations, where the UE is connected to the one or more base stations. The UE further performs candidate beam detection by monitoring at least one candidate reference signal that is transmitted by one or more candidate base stations, where at least one candidate base station (a first candidate base station) is different from the one or more base stations to which the UE was previously communicating. The UE selects the first candidate base station based on the candidate beam detection, and transmits a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) message to the first candidate base station based on the selection.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to determine a resource selection window which identifies a first set (e.g., a total set) of candidate resources. The UE may then remove one or more candidate resources from the first set of candidate resources in response to receiving sidelink control information (SCI) from a pedestrian UE with a reservation of the one or more first candidate resources. After removal of these candidate resources from the initial or first set based on their presumed unavailability, the result may be a second set of candidate resources, which may be a subset of the initial or first set for use in communicating with a third UE. The UE may also be configured to remove candidate resources based on a reference signal receive power (RSRP) threshold which can also be adjusted based on a maximum value or a highest priority of the pedestrian UE's data.
