    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device, such as a user equipment (UE) may identify information for transmitting to a base station of a non-terrestrial network. The UE may identify that one or more resources allocated for transmitting the information are available based at least in part on identifying the information. The one or more resources include one or more types of uplink resources including physical random access channel (PRACH) resources or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources for the random access procedure, a PUSCH for a scheduling request (SR), or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for a configured grant, or a combination thereof. As a result, the UE may transmit, to the base station, a message over the one or more resources allocated for the information based at least in part on identifying the one or more resources.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit buffer status information using configured periodic uplink resources. For example, a base station may configure dedicated periodic uplink resources, periodic random access resources, or periodic uplink grants to enable the UE to transmit the buffer status information. In some cases, the periodic random access resources may enable the UE to transmit a first message of a four-step or two-step random access procedure to indicate the buffer status information. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may configure a type of scheduling request for the UE to transmit that can indicate whether a buffer size falls within a range, where the base station then can more accurately allocate uplink resources in an uplink grant for the UE to transmit the uplink data based on receiving this type of scheduling request.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless device are described. A wireless device may receive a configuration for a data radio bearer associated with voice traffic in a wireless communications network. In some examples, the configuration may indicate one or more parameters associated with the voice traffic. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device may receive a configuration for a data radio bearer and a configured grant associated with voice traffic. The wireless device may identify a mapping between a configured grant identifier and the data radio bearer based on the configuration In some examples, the wireless device may generate a transport block including the voice traffic based on the one or more parameters associated with the voice traffic or the mapping between the configured grant identifier and the data radio bearer. The wireless device may then transmit the generated transport block including the voice traffic.

    Abstract: A UE transmits to a source base station a capability of the UE associated with a bandwidth class or a band combination. The capability is associated with a handover in which the UE maintains connections with the source base station and a target base station. The UE receives a handover message comprising at least one of a target base station configuration to apply during handover execution or a source base station configuration to apply during handover execution based on the capability of the UE. The UE establishes a connection with the target base station and maintains a connection with the source base station over a period of time during the handover. The UE communicates with the source base station and the target base station during handover execution using at least one of the target base station configuration or the source base station configuration.
