Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) information to a base station while operating in a connected mode. In some examples, the UE may include the sidelink DRX information in UE-assistance information (UAI). The sidelink DRX information may include a preference of a DRX cycle, a DRX active duration, a DRX inactive duration, and the like, for sidelink DRX operation. The UE may receive a message including a sidelink DRX configuration from the base station based on the sidelink DRX information and operate according to the sidelink DRX configuration.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication for a user equipment (UE) includes entering a dormancy period for a secondary cell group (SCG) of a base station (BS) during which no downlink (DL) data or control transmissions are received from the SCG; performing a channel state information (CSI) measurement on the SCG during the dormancy period to generate a measurement report; determining an uplink (UL) beam of a primary secondary cell (PSCELL) of the SCG; transmitting the measurement report to the BS on the UL beam of the SCG; and determining, during the dormancy period and after transmitting the measurement report, one or more downlink (DL) beams for communicating on the SCG based on one or more rules and based on the measurement report, wherein the one or more rules result in the BS determining the same one or more DL beams based on the measurement report.

Abstract: Techniques described provide for a wireless network to establish and implement periodic and aperiodic sidelink gaps. One implementation may include transmitting, by a first user equipment (UE), a sidelink configuration message. The sidelink configuration message may indicate a capability of the first UE to support a sidelink periodic gap and a sidelink aperiodic gap. A message may be received by the first UE indicating whether the first UE is allowed to request a gap according to one or more of the indicated capabilities. The first UE may transmit a sidelink information message comprising an absolute radio frequency channel number (AR-FCN) and an associated gap list. An RRC reconfiguration message may also be received by the first UE having and updated gap list. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Aspects relate to paging optimizations in relay operations. A remote UE may provide one or more paging identifiers identifying the remote UE to one or more relay UEs over respective relay links therebetween. Each relay UE may provide the paging identifier(s) of the remote UE to a respective serving radio access network (RAN) node, which may further provide the paging identifier(s) of the remote UE to an anchor RAN node and/or core network node to optimize paging of the remote UE. For example, paging of the remote UE may be limited to the cell(s) including the relay UE(s). The remote UE may further be configured to select to receive the paging message from one of the relay UEs or may receive the paging message from each of the relay UEs. A relay UE may further transmit a page reject message to reject a paging message.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for protocol stacks and bearer modeling for assisted Uu connectivity. A UE and a PN may each establish a first connection with an AN and, based on the first connections with the AN, establish a second connection with each other. Based on a bearer configuration, the UE may determine whether to route data to the PN via the first connection with the AN or directly to the PN via the second connection with the PN. Accordingly, the UE may transmit the data to at least one of the AN or the PN based on the determination of whether to route the data to the PN via the first connection with the AN or directly to the PN via the second connection with the PN.

Abstract: In an aspect, a UE receives, while a secondary cell group (SCG) is associated with a dormant state, at least one downlink transmit beam associated with at least one cell of the SCG. The UE determines, while the SCG is associated with the dormant state, an uplink transmit beam for a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of the SCG based on one or more of a spatial relation indication (SRI), whether there is beam correspondence between the at least one downlink transmit beam and the uplink transmit beam, a default uplink transmit beam, or a combination thereof. The UE transmits a signal related to a measurement between the UE and the one or more SCells of the SCG on the determined uplink transmit beam.

Abstract: Certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for full multi-plane operation enablement are described. A flash controller can determine that a first plane of a set of planes of a memory die is an invalid plane. The flash controller can issue a single descriptor associated with a multi-plane operation for the set of planes of the memory die. The single descriptor can include a plurality of commands for the multi-plane operation in which the first command of the plurality of commands can be a duplicate of a second command of the plurality of commands based on the first plane being the invalid plane. In some cases, a negative-and (NAND) controller can receive the single descriptor associated with the multi-plane operation for the set of planes of a memory die. The NAND controller can issue a plurality of commands for the multi-plane operation based on receiving the single descriptor.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing relay reselection and releasing unicast links between relay UEs and remote UEs separately from each other. An example method generally includes taking one or more actions to trigger a relay reselection procedure separately from releasing a unicast link between the UE and a first relay UE; establishing a unicast link between the UE and a second relay UE; and releasing the unicast link between the UE and the first relay UE.

The first wireless device transmits a message to the network entity via the second wireless device, the message indicating that the second connection is a remote connection. The second wireless device establishes the first connection with the first wireless device to relay traffic between a network entity and the first wireless device and establishes a connection with the network entity to relay the traffic between the network entity and the first wireless device. The second wireless device receives a configuration from the network entity for the second connection between the network entity and the first wireless device for relaying the traffic to the second wireless device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may autonomously initiate a handover procedure and select a target base station for the handover procedure. The UE may measure a signal from the source base station or the target base station, or both, and the UE may determine whether specific criteria at both base stations are within a pre-configured range. If the criteria at both base stations are within the pre-configured range, the UE may identify the target base station as a potential candidate for a handover. Accordingly, when the UE determines that radio conditions with the source base station are deteriorating (or fall below a threshold), the UE may initiate a handover to the target base station autonomously and without specific direction from the source base station.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for assisted connectivity techniques. For example, a UE may transmit, to an AN, a request to establish a RRC connection with a PN, and the AN may further transmit, to the PN, the request received from the UE to establish the RRC connection with the PN. After receiving the request, the PN may transmit, to the AN, one or more RRC connection parameters for the RRC connection with the UE, and the AN may further transmit, to the UE, the one or more connection parameters received from the PN for establishing the RRC connection with the PN. Based on the one or more parameters received from the AN, the UE may establish the RRC connection with the PN.
