A method of performing a virtual network function. The method comprises forking a user plane process on a computer by a virtual network function process that executes on the computer, forking a control plane process on the computer by the virtual network function process, adding blocks to a user plane blockchain by the user plane process that record user plane events, adding blocks to a control plane blockchain by the control plane process that record control plane events, creating a first package of information by the user plane process based on the user plane blockchain, self-terminating by the user plane process while passing the first package of information to the virtual network function process, creating a second package of information by the control plane process based on the control plane blockchain, self-terminating by the control plane process while passing the second package of information to the virtual network function process.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for improving measurement accuracy for multipanel UEs with a single baseband unit are provided. One method may include receiving, by a user equipment, at least one of at least one layer 3 filter time constant T.sub.cst_x or at least one scaling factor, and updating, by the user equipment, at least one current filter time constant according to at least one of the received T.sub.cst_x or the at least one scaling factor.

A user equipment (UE) may sense a first transmission by a first sidelink UE and a second transmission by a second sidelink UE and send a conflict indication to at least one of the first or second sidelink UEs in response to identifying a collision between the first and second transmissions, or identifying a prospective collision based on a prospective use of respective first and second resources identified in the respective first and second transmissions. A collision or prospective collision may be detected by detecting a complete or partial overlap of the first and second transmissions or of the prospective first and second resources identified in the transmissions, or by determining that any portions of the first resource and the second resource prospectively occupy a slot common to the first and second resources, and the first sidelink UE and the second sidelink UE prospectively operate in a half-duplex mode.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for resuming communications with a non-terrestrial network in discontinuous coverage. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes determining that the UE is or will be in an out-of-coverage state with a non-terrestrial network (NTN) for a first duration; entering a power saving state in response to the determination; exiting the power saving state when the UE expects to be in an in-coverage state with the NTN; and taking one or more actions to resume communications with the NTN.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information configuring a first search space (SS) set and a second SS set, wherein the first SS set is linked with the second SS set for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition, and wherein the first SS set is a recovery search space identifier configured SS set. The UE may monitor for a first one or more PDCCH candidates in the first SS set and a second one or more PDCCH candidates in the second SS set, wherein the first one or more PDCCH candidates and the second one or more PDCCH candidates are occurrences of a beam failure recovery response downlink control information (DCI). Numerous other aspects are described.

A UE is configured to perform Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) with a first Coverage Enhancement (CE) configuration that provides a first CE level. The first RLM configuration associated with the first CE configuration has a first radio-link-quality-improving threshold value that corresponds with a third distance from a base station that is closer to the base station than a second distance associated with an in-sync radio link quality threshold value associated with a first RLM configuration. The first RLM configuration also has a first radio-link-quality-improving-cancellation threshold value that corresponds with a fourth distance from the base station that is located farther from the base station than the third distance and closer to the base station than the first distance. If conditions are satisfied, the base station reconfigures the UE with a second RLM configuration and a second CE configuration having a second CE level lower than the first CE level.
