A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a UE (User Equipment). In one embodiment, the method includes the UE receiving and/or monitoring a first control region via a first link. The method further includes the UE transmitting a first request if the first link fails. The method also includes the UE receiving and/or monitoring a second control region for a response via a second link within a time window associated with the first request. In addition, the method includes the UE receiving and/or monitoring the first control region after the time window associated with the first request is over.

Provided in the present disclosure are a method for radio link failure recovery and user equipment. The method for radio link failure recovery comprises: user equipment (UE) detecting that a handover failure occurs, and when the UE has a stored conditional handover (CHO) configuration, or when the UE has a stored conditional handover (CHO) configuration and CHO recovery is enabled, the UE reverting back to a configuration used in a source cell, the configuration used in the source cell including one or more of a physical layer dedicated configuration, a medium access control (MAC) layer configuration, or a semi-persistent SPS configuration.

A communication control method using a relay user equipment relaying communication between a remote user equipment and a base station includes the steps of transmitting and receiving, by a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the remote user equipment, to and from the base station via the relay user equipment, an RRC message performing control of communication with the base station, transmitting and receiving, by a second RRC layer of the remote user equipment, to and from the relay user equipment, an RRC message performing control of communication with the relay user equipment, and notifying, by the second RRC layer, the first RRC layer of communication state information regarding a failure or disconnection of a first radio link between the remote user equipment and the relay user equipment.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an apparatus of a central or management entity of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network may receive a report indicating one or more of a failure associated with a communication link associated with an IAB node included in the IAB network or a quality of service (QoS) associated with the communication link. The apparatus may modify a topography of the IAB network or routing within the IAB network when the report indicates the failure associated with the communication link. The apparatus may verify a QoS associated with the IAB network when the report indicates the QoS associated with the communication link. Numerous other aspects are described.

Embodiments include systems and methods that may be performed by a processor of a wireless device for managing a communication link with a communication network. Various embodiments may include determining whether a cause of a detected physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) error in a downlink communication from a base station is an out of coverage condition, and initiating an autonomous handover from the base station to a second base station in response to determining that the cause of the PDSCH error is an out of coverage condition.

Apparatus and method for performing beam failure recovery in a wireless communication system are provided. The method performed by a User Equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration corresponding to a first BWP, a second BWP configuration corresponding to a second BWP, and a BWP inactivity timer; determining whether a BFR procedure is triggered; when determining that the BFR procedure is triggered: stopping the BWP inactivity timer and performing BWP switching from the first BWP to the second BWP.

A method is performed by a wireless device. The method includes receiving, from a network, an indication for the wireless device to prepare for a change from a first ground station to a second ground station. Each of the first ground station and the second ground station is configured to communicate with the wireless device via one or more satellites. The method further includes preparing to change from the first ground station to the second ground station. The method further includes communicating with the second ground station via the one or more satellites.

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) to support dual-connectivity with a Master Evolved Node-B (MeNB) and a Secondary eNB (SeNB) are disclosed herein. The UE may receive downlink traffic packets from the MeNB and from the SeNB as part of a split data radio bearer (DRB). At least a portion of control functionality for the split DRB may be performed at each of the MeNB and the SeNB. The UE may receive an uplink eNB indicator for an uplink eNB to which the UE is to transmit uplink traffic packets as part of the split DRB. Based at least partly on the uplink eNB indicator, the UE may transmit uplink traffic packets to the uplink eNB as part of the split DRB. The uplink eNB may be selected from a group that includes the MeNB and the SeNB.

A method of listen before talk (LBT) recovery procedure for a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method comprises performing an LBT failure detection procedure for a serving cell, triggering the LBT recovery procedure for the serving cell in response to detecting consistent uplink (UL) LBT failures in a first bandwidth part (BWP) on the serving cell according to the LBT failure detection procedure, where the LBT recovery procedure includes triggering an LBT failure procedure for determining the first BWP as an invalid BWP, and cancelling the triggered LBT recovery procedure for the serving cell in response to confirming a predefined condition in the UE.

A method for communication and related devices are provided in the disclosure. The method includes the following. A terminal device determines a failure of access to a target primary secondary cell (PSCell) or a radio link failure (RLF) after the target PSCell is accessed. The terminal device transmits a secondary cell group (SCG) failure report to a first network node, where the SCG failure report includes first indication information, and the first indication information indicates type information of PSCell addition/change.
