The first UE may determine, based on monitoring for the one or more sidelink responses, whether to transmit a sidelink confirmation indicating a reservation of the subset of the data resources to the second UE.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure address beam management enhancement with the assistance of a cooperative relay UE over a sidelink (SL) channel. A UE may include a memory and a processor. The processor may use machine learning and channel condition measurements to predict an upcoming Uu link beam failure (BF). Based on the prediction, the processor may request SL data resources from a base station, wherein the processor may receive an allocated SL channel and a relay UE. When the Uu link fails, the processor can transmit a beam failure recovery (BFR) signal to the base station using the relay UE over the SL channel. The present disclosure overcomes the deficiencies of conventional BFR processes in which the BF forces the UE to perform a contentious RACH procedure, causing time delays and power consumption.
