    Abstract: Aspects relate to obtaining, at a first scheduled entity, a first priority ranking of first uplink (UL) data scheduled for transmission to a scheduling entity and a first data scheduled for transmission to a second scheduled data, as well as a second priority ranking of second data scheduled for transmission to a third and fourth scheduled entity, respectively. The scheduling uses at least a portion of a sidelink resource reserved for sidelink communication for the transmissions. The scheduling of the transmissions using at least the portion of the sidelink resource are based on the first priority ranking and the second priority ranking. Various transmission cancellation and reception preemptions are transmitted from transmitting scheduled entities to other transmitting or receiving scheduled entities, respectively. Such cancellations and preemptions are based on the priority rankings, prediction of data transmission collisions and prediction of interference at receiving entities.

    Abstract: Aspects present herein relate to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. More specifically, aspects described are directed to enhancements to bi-directional alignment of discontinuous reception (DRX). In some examples, an apparatus may receive, from a first user equipment (UE), an indication of discontinuous reception (DRX) assistance information. The apparatus may further configure a first sidelink (SL) DRX configuration for the first UE, a second SL DRX configuration for a second UE, and a first UE-universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access (UTRA) interface (Uu) DRX configuration for the first UE, wherein at least one of the first SL DRX configuration, the second SL DRX configuration, and the first Uu DRX configuration are configured based on the DRX assistance information.

    Abstract: Provided herein are various techniques and solutions to paging user equipment (UE). In particular, paging at higher levels of granularity, such as a beam level, for low mobility or stationary UEs in inactive and/or idle states are described. An apparatus may be configured to receive, from a network, a message configuring at least one beam notification area associated with positioning of the apparatus. The at least one beam notification area may include a set of beams corresponding to a set of cells identified by the network as candidates for carrying a paging message for the apparatus in the at least one beam notification area. The apparatus may be further configured to receive the paging message from the network via one of the set of beams corresponding to one of the set of cells in which the apparatus is positioned based on the at least one beam notification area.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for scheduled communications in which multiple different communication instances may be scheduled between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. Different communication parameters for different communication instances may be selected based on one or more factors, such as channel conditions or a number of prior uplink transmissions. The base station may provide the UE with two or more sets of communication parameters for scheduled communications, and a set of communication parameters may be selected at both the base station and the UE based on channel conditions meeting a defined threshold value, or based on a number of uplink transmissions in a prior time window meeting a defined threshold number.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the first configuration is for a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle and the second configuration is for a configured grant (CG), wherein the DRX cycle is associated with a set of active time durations and a set of non-active time durations, and wherein the CG is associated with a transmission in one or more non-active time durations of the set of non-active time durations; receive information identifying a mask, wherein the mask indicates a modified configuration for the transmission in the one or more non-active time durations or a modified multiplexing scheme for the CG; and selectively perform or skip the transmission in accordance with the CG and the mask. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify one or more user equipments (UEs) subscribed to receive broadcast transmissions. The base station may determine a first subset of the UEs is to receive broadcast transmissions via a direct link and a second subset of the UEs is to receive the packets from the broadcast transmission via a sidelink connection based on selection criteria. The base station may transmit an indication that the broadcast transmissions are to be received via either the direct link or sidelink connection to at least one of the first subset of UEs or the second subset of UEs. The base station may transmit the broadcast transmissions to the first subset of UEs via direct links, and the first subset of UEs may transmit the broadcast transmissions to one or more other UEs via sidelink connections.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive a periodic reference signal from a base station and may measure the periodic reference signal as part of a beam failure detection (BFD) procedure. To detect a beam failure, the UE may autonomously select a beam failure indicator (BFI) counting scheme from a set of BFI counting schemes and may increment a BFI count in accordance with the selected BFI counting scheme and based on measuring the reference signal. The different BFI counting schemes of the set of BFI counting schemes may feature different techniques or methods for incrementing the BFI count per one or more BFI reports. As such, the UE may selectively choose how to weight different sets of one or more BFI reports in terms of contribution to the BFI count, which may improve BFD detection at the UE.
