Claim 10:
11. A method for wireless communications at a base station, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a control message indicating a plurality of synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block indexes corresponding to a plurality of SS/PBCH block resources, the control message indicating that a first index of the plurality of indexes is associated with a first antenna of a relay device positioned on an interior of a vehicle;
transmitting control signaling configuring the relay device to transmit a plurality of SS/PBCH blocks using the plurality of SS/PBCH block resources via a plurality of antennas including at least the first antenna in accordance with the control message;
receiving a first measurement report from the UE indicating a first SS/PBCH block measurement corresponding to the first antenna satisfies a threshold; and
transmitting a configuration message instructing the UE to perform a handover procedure from the base station to the relay device based at least in part on the first SS/PBCH block measurement.
