Claim 21:
22. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a source relay, a candidate relay configuration, the candidate relay configuration including information of candidate relays and a relay measurement configuration comprising a measurement gap configuration indicating that a measurement gap is utilized for reference signals from candidate relays that are not within a bandwidth configured for communication between the UE and the source relay;
measuring a reference signal of the source relay and each of the candidate relays based on the candidate relay configuration;
transmitting, to the source relay, a measurement report of the reference signal of a subset of candidate relays;
establishing a connection with a subset of candidate relays; and
receiving, from the source relay, a relay switch command to switch to a target relay from the subset of candidate relays.
