Abstract

Techniques for beam-based relay node switch. An example method of wireless communication by a first wireless node generally includes relaying wireless communications between a user equipment (UE) (120, 120a-y) and a network entity; transmitting, to one or more second wireless nodes, relay request signals via a plurality of beams (402a-d, 602a-d, 604a-b, 706a-b) at relay request signal occasions (1, 2, 3), wherein each of the relay request signals indicates a request to switch relay services of the UE (120, 120a-y) from the first wireless node to the one or more second wireless nodes; and switching the relay services of the UE (120, 120a-y) to at least one of the one or more second wireless nodes.
