Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium provide sidelink beam alignment between devices. In the context of a method performed by a first user equipment (UE), the first UE causes transmission of a first plurality of reference signals to a second UE to facilitate selection of a first preferred beam among a plurality of beams of the second UE. The method also receives a second plurality of reference signals from the second UE using a plurality of beams of the first UE. The method further includes selecting a second preferred beam from the plurality of beams of the first UE based on the second plurality of reference signals.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of the correction of reference clock systematic errors of the UE. The method comprises generating, at a first device, reference time information comprising a first local timestamp of the first device at a boundary of a system frame number; and transmitting the reference time information to a second device for time synchronization between the first device and the second device. In this way, errors on the absolute time delivery to the UE that are not visible on the air interface can be captured and the accuracy of the time synchronization between the UE and the gNB can be improved.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for user equipment behavior with respect to hybrid automatic repeat request retransmission in new radio sidelink co-existence scenarios with another technology are provided. For example, a method can include enabling, for a receiving user equipment, hybrid automatic repeat request negative acknowledgement only feedback. The method can also include first determining whether to condition negative feedback on at least one first condition, or second determining whether negative feedback is conditioned on at least one second condition. The method can further include third determining whether to retransmit a message according to hybrid automatic repeat request according to results of the first determining or the second determining.
