    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may receive, from a source master node, a secondary node release request corresponding to a conditional handover operation associated with a user equipment (UE) operating in accordance with multiple radio access technology dual connectivity, wherein the secondary node release request indicates that the network node is to continue to be a secondary node associated with the UE or that a target secondary node is to be the secondary node associated with the UE. The network node may perform a data transfer operation based at least in part on receiving the secondary node release request. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to improving the positioning of a target user equipment (UE) using an enhanced repeater disposed in a wireless network. In some embodiments, the enhanced repeater may include logically distinct user equipment (UE) functionality and distributed unit (DU) functionality. The UE functionality may enable setup with other entities of the network, e.g., an upstream location management function (LMF), such that the enhanced repeater is recognized as capable of positioning. The DU functionality may enable generation of downlink positioning signals (e.g., DL-PRS) at the enhanced repeater so as to obviate relaying of DL-PRS generated elsewhere in the network. The enhanced repeater may perform uplink measurements based on uplink positioning signals receive from the target UE, and report the uplink measurements to the LMF, enabling the L1VIF to calculate the position of the UE with fewer errors than if the uplink positioning signals were simply relayed.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for handling a radio link failure timer in the presence of a conditional handover command. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a serving cell, a conditional handover command for handing over the UE to a target neighbor cell, wherein the conditional handover command includes one or more triggering conditions for executing a handover to a candidate target cell; monitoring one or more first signals from the candidate target cell for the one or more triggering conditions; and performing one of: stopping a timer based on performing a conditional handover to the target candidate cell; or detecting a timer has expired while monitoring the one or more first signals from the candidate target cell for the one or more triggering conditions.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a source master eNodeB (MeNB) may transmit, to a target Next Generation radio access network (NG-RAN) node, a handover required message to initiate an inter-system handover from an evolved-Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) New Radio (NR) dual connectivity (EN-DC) system associated with the source MeNB to an NR standalone (SA) system associated with the target NG-RAN node. The source MeNB may have an indirect path to the target NG-RAN node and a source secondary gNodeB (SgNB) may have a direct path to the target NG-RAN node. The source MeNB may transmit, to the target NG-RAN node and based at least in part on the handover required message, forwarded data via the indirect path between the source MeNB and the target NG-RAN node through a core network. Numerous other aspects are described.
