Methods and apparatuses for conditional path switching utilizing a remote wireless transmit/receive unit

Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media for implementing condition mobility may facilitate conditional path switching. In various examples, handover of a WTRU from a current cell to a target cell may involve an intermediate relay WTRU, wherein the handover occurs upon specific conditions being met. A relay WTRU may facilitate conditional path switching, wherein the relay WTRU receives conditional reconfiguration information comprising an identity of a remote WTRU and configuration information associated with the remote WTRU. The relay WTRU may receive an indication that the remote WTRU has performed a path switch to the relay WTRU, and the relay WTRU may be configured with the remote WTRU configuration information. Subsequently, the relay WTRU may send an RRC complete message indicating that the relay WTRU has been configured with the remote WTRU configuration information.
