    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sidelink physical channel enhancements for unlicensed spectrum, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. A UE may determine, for a contiguous resource block (RB) based sidelink physical channel transmission in SL-U, whether a sub-channel can be used for the sidelink physical channel transmission based on a condition associated with a number physical RBs (PRBs) configured for the sidelink physical channel. The UE may transmit, in response to determining that the condition is satisfied, the sidelink physical channel. The condition may be a total number of PRBs in a sub-channel not overlapping the guard band being greater than or equal to the number of PRBs configured for the sidelink physical channel or a portion of PRBs at a beginning of a sub-channel not overlapping with the guard band being greater than or equal to the number of PRBs configured for the sidelink physical channel

    Abstract: Systems, methods, processors, and circuitries are provided for configuring, transmitting, receiving and processing single frequency network wake-up signals. In one example a user equipment (UE) includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver and a baseband processor. The baseband processor is configured to, when executing instructions stored in a memory, cause the UE to receive, via the RF transceiver, a wake-up signal (WUS). The WUS is transmitted by a plurality of cells in a WUS single frequency network (SFN) and each cell of the plurality of cells transmits the WUS in identical time and frequency resources. Based on the received WUS, the baseband processor causes the UE to configure one or more components of the UE to receive a subsequent signal.
