Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems and devices for enhancing uplink coverage. One method includes enhancing, by a user equipment (UE), an uplink coverage of a cell with a base station by receiving, by the UE, a configuration from the cell; determining, by the UE, a random access (RA) resource based on the configuration and a measured downlink signal strength; sending, by the UE, the RA preamble to the base station to request Msg3 repetition; and receiving, by the UE, an RA response from the base station indicating transmission resource for Msg3 repetition.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and devices for providing fast mobility. In one form, a processor of user equipment detects a trigger event associated with activating or switching to one or more transmission control indication (TCI) states of a TCI states set associated with a first physical cell ID (PCI) for uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) transmission when one or more TCI states for a TCI state set associated with a second PCI is used by the user equipment for at least one of UL or DL transmission in one serving cell. The processor of the user equipment may then perform a procedure of activating or switching to the one or more TCI states of a TCI state set associated with the first PCI for UL and DL transmission in one serving cell.

Abstract: Sidelink based relay communications include communications through a relay user equipment (“UE”) between a basestation and a remote UE. Relay communications can be improved by addressing incompatibilities between different devices, which support different features/operations, such as the layers of communication. Access control and an establishment cause value can also be addressed by the relay communications. Paging identification and system information can be communicated by relay communications, such as through the relay UE to improve communications.
