Abstract: A UE may obtain a first set of audio packets based on a configured periodic cycle with a network node. The UE may transmit, for the network node, a first set of uplink (UL) transmissions associated with the first set of audio packets based on a first periodic time interval. The first periodic time interval may be different than the configured periodic cycle. The first periodic time interval may be based on a first multiplier and the configured periodic cycle. The UE may be a transmitter UE. The network node may receive, from the transmitter UE, the first set of UL transmissions associated with the first set of audio packets based on the first periodic time interval. The network node may output, for a receiver UE, the first set of UL transmissions associated with the first set of audio packets.

Abstract: An apparatus may be provided that is configured to obtain a set of samples associated with a paging occasion (PO). The apparatus may further be configured to process at least one reference signal indicating time and frequency information. The apparatus may also be configured to process the set of samples associated with the PO based on the time and frequency information. The apparatus may be configured to adjust, based on processing the set of samples associated with the PO, a current mode of operation in a set of modes of operation for the wireless device.
