TECHNIQUES FOR QUALITY OF SERVICE SUPPORT IN SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) (e.g., a remote UE) may establish a relay connection for communicating with a network entity (e.g., a base station or a network device) via a second UE (e.g., a relay UE). The relay connection may include a sidelink connection and an access link connection. The remote UE may transmit a request to the network entity via the relay UE. The request may include a relay service code associated with the sidelink connection, as well as a request for quality of service (QoS) support for the relay connection. Based on the request, the network entity may determine a QoS configuration for the relay connection. The network entity may indicate the QoS configuration to the UEs via the relay connection. The UEs may adjust parameters of the relay connection to meet the specifications of the QoS configuration.
