Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sidelink unlicensed band (SL-U) cyclic prefix extension (CPE) starting position as well as identifier (ID) restrictions for channel time occupancy (COT) sharing, including systems, methods, mechanisms for COT sharing for PSFCH multi-channel transmission, CPE starting position determination in SL-U, ID restrictions for SL-U COT sharing, and determination of when to use Type 2A, Type 2B, and/or Type 2C in SL-U COT sharing, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. A UE may initiate channel access in a SL-U via an NR downlink Type A or Type B multi-channel access procedure to perform multi-channel PSFCH transmissions. The UE may secure a COT and when the COT is initiated by PSFCH type 1 channel access, the COT may not be shared with other UEs, the COT may be shared with a corresponding UE, or the COT may be shared with UEs expecting feedback during the COT.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may include a main radio (MR) and a Low Power Wake-Up Radio (LR). The UE may coordinate periods where the MR and LR are on and off. For example, the UE may enter a deep sleep state by turning off a main radio (MR) of the UE, and turning on a Low Power Wake-Up Radio (LR) of the UE. The MR may receive an event indication from the LR to turn on the MR. The MR may turn on and perform a procedure according to an event corresponding to the event indication.

Abstract: Triggering an uplink (UL) gap at a base station may include decoding a user equipment (UE) UL gap capability report received from a UE. A radio resource control (RRC) UL gap configuration for transmission to the UE may be encoded.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for a user equipment (UE) to transmit a configured grant (CG) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) including an uplink control information (UCI) without transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The UE determines, based on a configuration received from the base station, a first set of CG PUSCHs. Each CG PUSCH of the first set of CG PUSCHs overlaps with the PUCCH, and is configured to transmit data from the UE to the base station. The UE further determines a second set of CG PUSCHs by excluding a third set of CG PUSCHs from the first set of CG PUSCHs. and select a CG PUSCH from the second set of CG PUSCHs to carry the UCI contained in the PUCCH. The UE further transmits the selected CG PUSCH including the UCI without transmitting the PUCCH.
