Abstract: Embodiments provide a transceiver of a wireless communication system, wherein the transceiver is configured to operate in a sidelink in-coverage, out of coverage or partial coverage scenario, in which resources for a communication over the sidelink are (pre-)configured by the wireless communication system or allocated or scheduled autonomously by the transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive over the sidelink a reception mode configuration signal from another transceiver of the wireless communication system, wherein the transceiver is configured to change a reception mode responsive to the reception of the reception mode configuration signal.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a transceiver of a wireless communication system, wherein the transceiver is configured to operate in a sidelink in-coverage, out of coverage or partial coverage scenario, in which resources for a sidelink communication over a sidelink are preconfigured by the wireless communication system or allocated or scheduled autonomously by the transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive, in the sidelink in-coverage, out of coverage or partial coverage scenario, sidelink signals using a discontinuous reception, DRX, mode of operation, wherein at least one parameter of the discontinuous reception, DRX, mode of operation depends on at least one operating parameter of the transceiver.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a transceiver [e.g., UE] of a wireless communication system, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a first control message [e.g., in a first slot or subframe, such as slot or subframe n] [e.g., comprising a first control information or control configuration], wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a second control message [e.g., in a second slot or subframe, such as slot or subframe n+koff??] [e.g., comprising a second control information or control configuration], wherein the second control message is linked [e.g., refers] to the first control message by an identifier, ID [e.g., DCI/base grant ID], or indication, wherein one out of the first control message, the first control message and the second control message together, the second control message, grant or assign a resource to the transceiver for a communication of the transceiver.
