Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station using UE cooperation. For example, a first UE may transmit an uplink signal indicating a request for the base station to transmit a UE discovery request signal to a second UE. In response to transmitting the uplink signal, the first UE may receive a sidelink signal from the second UE. The sidelink signal may indicate that the second UE may be available for a cooperative link with the first UE. In some cases, based on the sidelink signal, the first UE may establish the cooperative link with the second UE. In some examples, based on establishing the cooperative link, the first UE may receive downlink communications from the base station via at least sidelink communications from the second UE over the cooperative link.

Abstract: Thus, aspects of the present disclosure allow for a target UE to utilize a cooperative device to communicate with a base station when the target UE is out of coverage or in poor radio connections, but can still connect to another UE over a non-3GPP technology. Aspects of the present disclosure may receive a derived radio resource control (RRC) key from a user equipment (UE) in a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) link between the apparatus and the UE. In some aspects, the UE is out of coverage of a network entity in a 3GPP link with the apparatus. In another instance, aspects of the present disclosure may receive control data from the network entity in the 3GPP link using the derived RRC key. In yet another instance, aspects of the present disclosure may transmit the control data to the UE in the non-3GPP link.

The example method may further include detaching from a first cell associated with the first base station and synchronizing with a second cell associated with the second base station based on the one or more CHO measurements satisfying the one or more execution conditions, the second cell being one cell associated with the one or more CHO candidate cell configurations.

Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently performing and reporting reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements. In particular, the techniques described herein may allow a user equipment (UE) to efficiently identify reference signals on which to perform RSRP measurements (e.g., based on signaling from a base station), identify when to report RSRP measurements (e.g., aperiodically, periodically, or semi-persistently), and identify a channel on which to report RSRP measurements (e.g., a sidelink channel or an uplink channel). In addition, the techniques described herein may also allow a UE to efficiently identify open loop parameters to use to determine an appropriate transmit power for transmitting to another UE over a sidelink.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) may acquire a triggering synchronization signal block (SSB), which enables the UE to monitor for a floating Type-2 physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and to determine a subset of paging occasions (POs) to monitor. Or, the UE may monitor for a fixed Type-2 PDCCH, where the UE does not require a triggering signal to monitors POs. In another aspect, the UE may monitor for a paging transmission during a monitoring period. The UE may determine the monitoring period based on received signaling. The UE may receive the signaling, during the monitoring period, indicating that the monitoring period is to be ended before a scheduled end of the monitoring period. In this way, the UE may support a continuity requirement associated with downlink reference signaling (DRS) and may support reception of paging in a shared channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a wireless communications system may support user equipment (UE) cooperation. When a first UE and second UE are in a cooperative configuration, a base station may use the first UE to request and obtain channel information for the second UE. For example, the base station may transmit a request for channel information to the first UE and the first UE may relay the request to the second UE. The second UE may determine the channel information and transmit a report including the channel information to the first UE, where the first UE may relay the report to the base station. In some examples, the report, the request, or both may be exchanged between devices using medium access control control element (MAC-CE)-based methods or using downlink control information (DCI)-based methods. The DCI-based methods may involve relaxed timings.

A first network operator may have a higher priority than a second or third network operator, and resources may be allocated to the first network operator ahead of the second or third network operators. The RU may transmit the first resource allocation to each of the different network nodes that transmitted requests for resources.
