    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for radio link monitoring (RLM) for unicast sidelink (SL) communications. A processor for a base station includes first circuitry configured to generate a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising an RRC information element indicating a number of unicast SL RLM reference signals. The processor includes second circuitry configured to encode the RRC message for transmission to a user equipment (UE). The processor includes third circuitry configured to generate a reference signal indicating an in-sync (IS) threshold and an out-of-sync (OOS) threshold for an RLM resource. The processor includes fourth circuitry configured to encode the reference signal for transmission to the UE. The processor includes fifth circuitry configured to transmit the RRC message and the reference signal to the UE.

    Abstract: During integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node setup, a distributed unit (DU) is configured to transmit synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for inter-IAB-node discovery and measurement. In parallel to SSB transmission by the DU, user equipment (UEs) and IAB-mobile terminations may be configured to search for and measure on SSBs at specific time instance. In the IAB case, the DU and MT configuration are coordinated to enable inter-node SSB measurements subject to the half-duplex constraint.

    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is disclosed. The UE can monitor a downlink (DL) control channel for DL control information (DCI) at a predetermined monitoring occasion, wherein the predetermined monitoring occasion has a periodicity of P slots or P symbols with an offset Os. The UE can monitor a downlink (DL) control channel for DL control information (DCI) at a predetermined monitoring occasion, wherein Os has an offset with respect to a first slot in subframe number zero (SFN #0). The UE can monitor a downlink (DL) control channel for DL control information (DCI) at a predetermined monitoring occasion, wherein P is a positive integer greater than zero.
