Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) information to a base station while operating in a connected mode. In some examples, the UE may include the sidelink DRX information in UE-assistance information (UAI). The sidelink DRX information may include a preference of a DRX cycle, a DRX active duration, a DRX inactive duration, and the like, for sidelink DRX operation. The UE may receive a message including a sidelink DRX configuration from the base station based on the sidelink DRX information and operate according to the sidelink DRX configuration.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may initiate a conditional handover in wireless communications systems implementing dual connectivity or multi-connectivity configurations. A master node may determine a configuration for the conditional handover. The master node may communicate with secondary nodes to receive configuration information for the secondary nodes. In some examples, the master node may indicate to a set of secondary nodes that the set of secondary nodes are candidate targets for a conditional handover from the UE. The master node may indicate, to the UE, the configuration for the conditional handover, including configurations for the candidate target secondary nodes. The conditional handover configuration may also include a set of conditions or thresholds for the UE to trigger the conditional handover. If one or more of the conditions or thresholds are satisfied, the UE may then trigger the conditional handover procedure.

Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for early measurement associated with configuring with multiple secondary nodes (SNs). In one aspect, the configuration of multiple SNs may be improved by allowing a master node (MN) to determine a multi-SN configuration based at least in part on measurements of actual channel conditions as seen by the UE. Enabling the MN to receive the measurement information early during a process associated with establishing a connection between the UE and the MN may thereby improve efficiency and reduce latency associated with the configuration of multiple SNs.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for low latency handover between secondary nodes (SNs). In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for a plurality of SNs, receive a command to communicate via an SN of the plurality of the SNs, and determine a handover procedure that is to be used to establish a connection with the SN. The handover procedure may be a random access channel (RACH) -less or a two-step RACH procedure and is determined to be used based on a determination that uplink time synchronization is established with the SN.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a measurement configuration for a service interruption measurement regarding a handover of the UE from a source cell to a target cell. The UE may transmit measurement information that identifies at least one of the service interruption measurement or a time value used to determine the service interruption measurement. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine to perform a conditional handover procedure to transfer from a source cell to a target cell of a plurality of candidate target cells. The UE may transmit, to the source cell, a conditional handover execution message to indicate the conditional handover procedure to transfer from the source cell to the target cell based at least at least in part on determining to perform the conditional handover procedure. The UE may communicate with the target cell to transfer to the target cell based at least in part on determining to perform the conditional handover procedure. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may determine to transmit a pre-allocated uplink (UL) grant to a user equipment (UE), wherein the pre-allocated UL grant includes: a secondary node (SN) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) list, and a type 1 configured grant (CG). The base station may transmit, to the UE, the pre-allocated UL grant based at least in part on determining to transmit the pre-allocated UL grant. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a user of a wireless communications device (WCD) is notified when operating in a serving area of a FEMTO access point (AP). In another embodiment, the WCD can notify an application server (AS) that the WCD is served by the FEMTO AP. In another embodiment, the AS can set a service level for a server-arbitrated communication session (CS) based on the FEMTO AP serving status of participating WCDs. In another embodiment, the FEMTO AP can determine to use a downlink control or signaling channel to transmit data to the WCD. In another embodiment, based on its serving FEMTO AP status, the WCD can (i) modify its participation level in the CS and/or (ii) selectively track usage. In another embodiment, the WCD or FEMTO AP can measure performance parameters of the CS to determine whether to trigger a handoff of the WCD to a different AP.
