Abstract: An energy harvesting enabled user equipment (UE) (e.g., a UE including an energy harvesting device) may have difficulty performing an initial network access procedure with a network node of a wireless communication network in scenarios where the UE has a low energy state (e.g., a battery level below a threshold), a low charging rate (e.g., a battery charging rate below a first threshold), and/or a high discharging rate (e.g., a battery discharging rate greater than or equal to a second threshold). In the aspects described herein, a UE receives configuration information associated with an initial network access procedure, wherein the configuration information is based on at least one of an energy harvesting class of the UE, a current charging rate of the UE, a current discharging rate of the UE, or a current energy state of the UE. The UE performs at least a portion of the initial network access procedure based on the configuration information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device (e.g., a relay user equipment (UE)) may establish a communication link, where the communication includes establishing a communication link between a second device (e.g., a remote UE) and a base station, the communication link including a first communication link between the second device and the first device and a second communication link between the first device and the base station. The first device may receive, over the first communication link, a transmission corresponding to data stored at the second device. The first device may receive, over the second communication link, an indication of one or more resources for a relay transmission corresponding to the data stored at the second device. The first device may transmit, over the second communication link, the relay transmission over the one or more resources based on receiving the sidelink transmission.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for the establishment of an importance hierarchy for a quality of service (QOS) flow. A wireless device may associate various radio link control (RLC) entities and logical channels of the QoS flow with one or more importance levels of the QoS flow. In some cases, the wireless device may map each protocol data unit (PDU) set of the QoS flow to a respective importance level, which may influence transmission priority of the PDU sets. For example, a priority rule for scheduling PDUs may indicate that PDU sets are to be scheduled in order of importance, such that a PDU set associated with a highest importance level is scheduled first and a PDU set associated with a second-highest importance level is scheduled second.

The techniques described herein relate to enhancements to physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring and skipping. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, a control message including a control channel skipping indication or a switching indication. The control channel skipping indication or the switching indication is associated with an application delay time duration that indicates a beginning of a control channel skipping or search space set group (SSSG) switching time duration. The UE adjusts an ending time of the application delay time duration based on feedback of whether a message was successfully received via a data channel. The UE skips monitoring of control channel occasions or transitioning from a first SSSG, beginning at the adjusted ending time of the application delay time duration.

Abstract: Techniques described provide dependent procedure operation configured for avoiding or mitigating one or more aspect of the impact on the dependent procedure of cancelling an uplink transmission. One or more attributes (e.g., a transmission indication attribute) associated with a cancelled uplink transmission may be designated for dependent procedure operation, such as for indicating whether the cancelled uplink transmission is considered either as having been transmitted or not having been transmitted. The one or more attributes associated with a cancelled uplink transmission designated for dependent procedure operation may be based upon whether the cancelling the first uplink transmission is a fast cancellation or is a slow cancellation. The designation of a transmission indication attribute for dependent procedure operation may correspond to the dependent procedure and/or its operation. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Aspects relate to sending a transmission control indicator (TCI) state activation in a multiple transmission and reception point (multi-TRP) transmission system having multiple component carriers. A component carrier (CC) list of component carrier identifiers (IDs) may be configured to either exclude or include a select CC ID prior to sending a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state activation within control signaling to at least one user equipment (UE) in the RAN. Depending on whether the CC ID is excluded or included in the CC list, the receiving UEs in the system may be configured to apply a TCI state activation for the CC ID either included or excluded in the CC list, or not apply any TCI state to any CC ID by ignoring the control signaling.

Abstract: Aspects relate to random access procedures. Different random access channel (RACH) configurations may be defined for different service groups. For example, one or more service groups (e.g., network slice groups) may be defined where each service group includes one or more services (network slices). One RACH configuration may be defined for one service group, another RACH configuration may be defined for another service group, and so on. Each service group may be configured with a different set of RACH parameters. Within each service group, one or more services may be configured with dedicated (e.g., non-cell-specific) RACH resources, and other services may be configured with cell-specific RACH resources. Each service group may be configured with different RACH resources. Within each service group, one or more services may be configured with a set of dedicated (e.g., non-cell-specific) RACH parameters, and other services may be configured with a set of cell-specific RACH resources.
