Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a first user equipment (UE), a second UE, and a network entity may support one or more configuration- or signaling-based mechanisms according to which the network entity may activate sidelink carrier aggregation (CA) between the first UE and the second UE during, as part of, or in association with a switch from direct communication between the first UE and the network entity to indirect communication between the first UE and the network entity via the second UE. In some examples, the configuration- or signaling-based mechanisms supported by the first UE, the second UE, and the network entity may be associated with whether the second UE (e.g., the relay node) is in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state, an RRC idle state, or an RRC inactive state.
