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.

A transmitting device maps complex valued symbols in sequence to physical resource blocks for a sidelink transmission. The transmitting device reserves a first symbol of a subframe, where resource elements in the first symbol of the subframe are not considered in mapping the complex valued symbols to the physical resource blocks for the sidelink transmission. The transmitting device transmits the sidelink transmission after mapping the complex valued symbols to the physical resource blocks. A receiving device receives the sidelink transmission and decodes the sidelink transmission to determine complex valued symbols that are mapped in sequence to physical resource blocks of the sidelink transmission, where the complex valued symbols are not mapped to resource elements in a first symbol of a subframe.

A method for indicating a channel resource, a terminal device and a network device are provided. The method includes that: at least two resource sets are determined, the at least two resource sets at least including a first resource set and a second resource set and different resource sets corresponding to different Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) mapping types or corresponding scheduling types respectively; and a first resource from one resource set of the at least two resource sets is determined. Respective resource scheduling flexibility of each scheduling type may be improved, higher resource utilization rate and transmission performance for channel transmission are achieved, and a higher signaling overhead is avoided.

The present invention discloses a method for a terminal to receive a synchronization signal in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method includes the steps of receiving a synchronization block including a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcasting channel (PBCH) and receiving a DMRS (demodulation reference signal) via resource region in which the PBCH is received. In this case, an index of the synchronization block can be determined in consideration of a sequence of the DMRS.
