Claim 28:
29. A base station, comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the base station to:
transmit, 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;
transmit 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;
receive a first measurement report from the UE indicating a first SS/PBCH block measurement corresponding to the first antenna satisfies a threshold; and
transmit 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.
