There is disclosed a node for a wireless communication system. The node may comprise a receiver for receiving a data packet, a status report and an acknowledgement (ACK), a transmitter for transmitting the packet, the status reports and the ACK and a processor for selectively operating in a first mode and a second mode, for determining a mode switching criterion.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums to enhance the functionality of directional repeaters (wireless devices that relay directional wireless signals). For example, by adding even limited capability to buffer digital samples, repeater functionality may be enhanced to provide better coverage and make more efficient use of time, frequency, and spatial resources. An example method generally includes receiving, from a base station, a configuration indicating how the wireless device is to process stored digital samples of a first radio frequency (RF) signal, receiving the first RF signal, wherein the receiving comprises generating the digital samples of the first RF signal, storing the digital samples, and processing the stored digital samples according to the configuration.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a base station may identify one or more communication paths to a user equipment (UE), and may determine an end-to-end signal quality for each communication path (e.g., a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)), one or more hop SNR values for each hop of each communication path, a ratio of the hop SNR values and the end-to-end SNR of each communication path, or a combination thereof. Based on the determined SNR values, ratios, or both, the base station may select a first communication path for a first type of communications (e.g., uplink, downlink, signal type, or the like) and a second communication path for a second type of communications (e.g., uplink, downlink, signal type, or the like), and may communicate with the UE using the selected communication paths.

Systems and methods are provided for reducing network traffic in a mesh network by reducing the number of status messages communicated over the network. The nodes of the network can provide status information to a gateway based on each node's distance from the gateway. The closer nodes respond to the request from the gateway first and then the farther nodes respond to the request. When a node is ready to transmit a status message with status information to the gateway, the node sends the message to the nodes in communication with the transmitting node. One of the closer nodes that receives the message then forwards the message to additional nodes in communication with the forwarding node, while the other nodes that received the message do not forward the message. The process of forwarding messages by a single closer node is repeated until the status information is received by the gateway.

A terminal device having a relay function of relaying a signal received from a first peripheral terminal among peripheral terminals, which are other terminal devices available for direct communication with the terminal device, to a second peripheral terminal among the peripheral terminals, the terminal device including: a detection unit that detects the peripheral terminals; a storage unit that holds peripheral terminal information that is information on each of the peripheral terminals detected by the detection unit; and an information notification unit that transmits a notification message for notifying the other terminal devices of information on the terminal device, the notification message including the peripheral terminal information held by the storage unit.

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method, a related apparatus, and a related device, which are applied to the communication field, and in particular, to the field of short-range communication, for example, cockpit domain communication. In embodiments of this application, the method includes: receiving first information from a second apparatus, where the first information is used to indicate a first time-frequency resource; and sending second information to at least one third apparatus based on the first information by using a second time-frequency resource, where the second information includes a first synchronization signal and at least one of service data, control information, or system information, and the second time-frequency resource is a subset of the first time-frequency resource.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating identifier-based transport types of a GNLP are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a transmitting UE includes receiving a message based on a GNLP, the message including a GNLP header. The example method also includes populating the GNLP header to indicate that the message is associated with a single-hop transport type, the single-hop transport type including a unicast message, a groupcast message, or a broadcast message. The example method also includes transmitting the message via sidelink to a receiving UE. An example method for wireless communication at a receiving UE includes receiving, from a transmitting UE, a message via sidelink, the message based on a GNLP and including a GNLP header. The example method also includes using the GNLP header to determine that the message is associated with a single-hop transport type.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network entity may receive, from a relay node via a radio access link, information indicating a link layer identifier of the relay node associated with a relay service, wherein the relay node is associated with a radio access identifier. The network entity may configure a relay service with the relay node and a remote node using a mapping between the radio access identifier and the link layer identifier. Numerous other aspects are described.

There is provided an apparatus comprising means for: translating between a first communication apparatus and a first wireless communication network operating as at least part of a bridge between the first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus; determining that the first and/or second communication apparatus is undergoing or has undergone a mobility event; and executing at least part of a mobility procedure resulting from the mobility event.
