Session offloading for l2 ue-to-network relay architecture

An apparatus for wireless communication at a second wireless device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the memory and the at least one processor configured to:
• identify at least one configuration for a relocation of one or more first session termination points associated with one or more radio access packet data sessions from the second wireless device to a first wireless device or from the first wireless device to the second wireless device;
• execute the relocation of the one or more first session termination points associated with the one or more radio access packet data sessions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device or from the first wireless device to the second wireless device based on the at least one configuration for the relocation of the one or more first session termination points;
• and
• forward data between a network and the first wireless device based on at least one first radio access packet data session of the one or more radio access packet data sessions, at least one first session termination point of the one or more first session termination points associated with the at least one first radio access packet data session having been relocated.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the memory and the at least one processor configured to:
• receive, from at least one of a first wireless device or a second wireless device, one or more indications of UE preferences associated with a relocation of one or more first session termination points associated with one or more radio access packet data sessions;
• and
• transmit at least one indication of at least one configuration for the relocation of the one or more first session termination points associated with the one or more radio access packet data sessions from the second wireless device to the first wireless device or from the first wireless device to the second wireless device.
