Claim 7:
8. A base station, comprising:
at least one antenna;
at least one radio, wherein the at least one radio is configured to perform cellular communication using at least one radio access technology (RAT); and
one or more processors coupled to the at least one radio, wherein the one or more processors and the at least one radio are configured to perform communications; and
wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the base station to:
establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a first user equipment (UE), including receiving, from the first UE, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) information including a destination identifier associated with a second UE, V2X capabilities of the first UE, and associated cell information;
detect, during PC5 data transmissions between the first UE and the second UE, a handover condition associated with the first UE; and
transmit, during the PC5 data transmissions, a handover command to the first UE, wherein the handover command includes an indication to continue the PC5 data transmissions in an exceptional pool during a handover procedure to an other base station, and wherein the second UE has an RRC connection to the other base station.
