    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may transmit first control signaling indicating a capability of the wireless device to operate in a plurality of modes of operation. The plurality of modes of operation including a first mode of operation associated with repeater operations and a first energy level and a second mode of operation associated with integrated access and backhaul (IAB) operations and a second energy level higher than the first energy level. The wireless device may receive second control signaling indicating at least one mode of operation of the plurality of modes of operation, and communicate one or more wireless signals according to the at least one mode of operation at the wireless device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some networks, such as over-deployed integrated access and backhaul (IAB) networks operating in millimeter wave (mmW) bands, may experience high energy consumption if all nodes in the network are fully active at all times. Power utilization modes may mitigate energy consumption by allowing nodes to operate at varying levels of activity. A power utilization mode may include a fully active mode or may drop one or more functions that a fully active node may support, or may support less extensive configurations associated with one or more supported functions, as compared to the configurations associated with a fully active node. Nodes may request information regarding one or more nodes, request a change in power utilizations modes for itself, indicate another node should change modes, or may receive an indication to change modes.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The techniques described herein relate to a user equipment (UE) receiving, from a network entity while in a connected mode with the network entity, first control signaling indicating a coordination configuration. The coordination configuration indicates a subset of paging cycles from a set of paging cycles, the subset of paging cycles associated with an indication of a tracking reference signal (TRS) availability or an indication of a system information (SI) change message availability. The UE receives from the network entity via a paging cycle of the subset of paging cycles in accordance with the coordination configuration, second control signaling indicating an availability of a TRS in a TRS resource or an availability of an SI change message in the paging cycle. The UE receives from the network entity, the TRS or the SI change message based on the second control signaling.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to establishing a signaling connection between a radio access network (RAN) node and a first scheduling entity. The RAN node may communicate in a dual connectivity (DC) mode of operation with the first scheduling entity (e.g., a secondary gNB) using a first radio access technology (RAT) and with a second scheduling entity (e.g., a master eNB) using a second RAT. The RAN node and the first scheduling entity may support sending information for a first signaling connection between the RAN node and the first scheduling entity over a second signaling connection through the second scheduling entity (e.g., when the second signaling connection is more reliable than the first signaling connection). To establish the second signaling connection, the RAN node and the first scheduling entity may signal support for the second signaling connection and exchange Internet Protocol information for the second signaling connection.
