Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed for handling conditional handover configurations by wireless devices and network nodes.

An example method performed by a wireless device includes receiving and storing one or more conditional handover configurations associated with a target cell candidate. The wireless device transitions from a connected state to a sleeping state, where the transition includes discarding the conditional handover configurations. The wireless device releases resources associated with the conditional handover configurations and performs clean up actions relating to conditional handover.

An example method performed by a network node includes providing, to a user equipment, one or more conditional handover configurations that are associated with a target cell candidate. The network node transmits, to the user equipment, a message to transition from a connected state to a sleeping state. After transmitting the message, the network node discards the conditional handover configurations.

A device can receive, from first user equipment, information that relates to a first application, where the information includes a plurality of S-NSSAI. The device can determine whether the plurality of S-NSSAI are configured as a group of associated S-NSSAI. The device can determine that a preference is to be given to one of: communication sessions associated with the first application relative to a communication session associated with a second application, that does not utilize multiple network slices, of the first user equipment or second user equipment; traffic flows associated with the first application relative to a traffic flow associated with the second application; or a plurality of network slices associated with the first application relative to a network slice associated with the second application. The device can perform one or more actions based on determining the preference to thereby facilitate a particular functionality of the first application.

In a wireless communication system, a third party different from both terminals or a base station, which are parties to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, may be involved in resource allocation for the V2X communication. For example, a first terminal performing V2X communication with a second terminal receives recommendation information recommending a resource available for the V2X communication from a third terminal and performs the V2X communication with the second terminal by using a recommended resource determined based on the recommendation information or a resource selected by the first terminal based on the recommendation information.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a master node (MN) may receive a message indicating that a user equipment (UE) has determined that a condition for a conditional primary secondary cell (PSCell) change has been satisfied for a candidate target PSCell. The candidate target PSCell may be one of a set of candidate target PSCells associated with the UE in a conditional PSCell change configuration provided by a base station. The MN may transmit, to a source secondary node, a confirmation message associated with the conditional PSCell change. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A user equipment and a method for wireless communication are provided. The user equipment includes a first radio access technology (RAT) module associated with a first RAT, a second RAT module associated with a second RAT, a memory, a transceiver, and a processor. The processor is configured to control the second RAT module to receive resource configuration information used to configure a plurality of resources and a control signaling used to activate and/or release the configured resources from a base station associated with the second RAT. The processor is also configured to control the second RAT module to decode the configured resources and the control signaling. The processor is further configured to control the second RAT module to perform an inter-RAT module interface signaling exchange to deliver to the first RAT module the configured resources and the control signaling.
