The empty packet is received in response to the polling signal transmitted during an air activity instance of the plurality of air activity instances. The periodicity of the periodic transmission of the polling signal is adjusted based on the detected low-power state and the decoded empty packet.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to communications in a network are provided. A UE receives a listen-before-talk (LBT) failure detection configuration associated with at least one of a dormant mode or a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle in a first cell of a wireless communication network. The UE performs, based on the LBT failure detection configuration, an LBT failure detection in the first cell while operating in the dormant mode for the first cell or during an inactive DRX configured-on duration of the DRX cycle. The UE transmits an LBT failure detection report based on the LBT failure detection.

The first UE may transmit an indication that superposition coding may be used to generate a concurrent sidelink and uplink transmission. The first UE may then transmit the concurrent sidelink and uplink transmission within a resource of the sidelink resource pool based on the indication. The second UE may decode the sidelink portion of the transmission, and the base station may decode the uplink portion of the transmission.
