    Abstract: A wireless node (e.g., a slave relay node) may receive scheduling commands over multiple wireless links and identify a scheduling conflict. For example, the wireless node my identify a conflict of wireless resources indicated by the received scheduling commands. The wireless node may select a non-conflicting subset of the scheduling commands based on a conflict policy, and transmit data over the wireless links according to the non-conflicting subset of the scheduling commands. Additionally or alternatively, the wireless node may transmit a conflict report indicating the identified scheduling conflict. The conflict report may be sent to other wireless nodes (e.g., master relay nodes associated with the conflicting scheduling commands). The other wireless nodes may engage in negotiation signaling to resolve the scheduling conflict, and may transmit an updated scheduling command to the slave relay node. The slave relay node may transmit data over wireless links based on the updated scheduling command.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A relay device may detect an upstream radio link failure (RLF) associated with an upstream link of a wireless backhaul, where the wireless backhaul includes a first wireless link between the relay device and a first upstream backhaul device. The relay device may provide a first indication of the upstream radio link failure over a second wireless link between the relay device and a first downstream device. The relay device may establish a third wireless link with a second upstream backhaul device based on the detected upstream radio link failure. The relay device may provide multiple-access services to one or more downstream devices, where providing the multiple-access services is based on backhaul communications between the relay device and the second upstream backhaul device over the third wireless link.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be configured to send, in a first network, a scheduling request (SR) associated with a second network. The apparatus may be further configured to receive an uplink grant based on the SR. The apparatus may be further configured to send, in the second network, uplink transmission based on the uplink grant. In an another aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be configured to receive, in a first network, a scheduling request (SR) associated with a user equipment (UE). The apparatus may be further configured to generate an uplink grant based on the SR. The apparatus may be further configured to send, in a second network, the uplink grant to the UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for selection of different sets of transmission beams by a user equipment (UE) for establishing beamformed communications with a base station. Each transmission beam of a first set of transmission beams may have corresponding uplink random access channel (RACH) resources. A UE may monitor for transmission beams from a base station and select a first transmission beam of the first set for communications with the base station. As part of a connection establishment, the base station may provide configuration information that indicates a second set of transmission beams that includes each transmission beam of the first set of transmission beams and at least an additional transmission beam. In some cases, the additional transmission beam may be mapped to a first RACH resource that also corresponds to a first transmission beam of the first set of transmission beams.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for multiple timing advance offsets that may be used in communications between wireless devices on a wireless communications system. A first timing advance offset may be a fixed offset that has a predetermined value or is selected from a set of available predetermined values, and a second timing advance offset may be adjustable by a wireless device. The second timing advance offset may be used in cases where relatively large distances between wireless devices are present in a system, where certain fixed timing advances are used in addition to or irrespective of a receiving devices propagation delay, where one or more parent nodes have an associated timing reference, or combinations thereof.
