    Abstract: Aspects and embodiments relate generally to mechanisms to support power saving in a wireless communication network and more particularly to supporting discontinuous reception of a wake-up signal receiver at an apparatus comprising a wake-up signal receiver and a main radio receiver. One aspect provides an apparatus, comprising: a main radio receiver; a wake-up signal receiver; and a timer. The wake-up signal receiver comprises: circuitry configured to receive at least a portion of a broadcast message; circuitry configured to evaluate the received portion of the broadcast message to determine a time marker; and circuitry configured to provide the time marker to the timer. The apparatus may comprise a UE and may therefore be configured to align internal time keeping with the time keeping of a network, thus allowing discontinuous reception and associated energy savings, without transmission of additional specific synchronisation messaging by a network.

    Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes means for obtaining a total delay error that when added to a reference time equivalent to a reference distance between first and second antennas equals a difference between a transmission time of a signal sent via the first antenna and a reception time of the signal received via the second antenna; means for measuring a frequency-variable first delay associated with reflection of a signal from a frequency-variable complex impedance of the first antenna; means for measuring a frequency-variable second delay associated with reflection of a signal from a frequency-variable complex impedance of the second antenna; means for estimating a first portion of the total delay error associated with the first antenna in dependence upon at least the first delay; and means for estimating a second portion of the total delay error associated with the second antenna in dependence upon at least the second delay.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus comprising: means for determining (1000) that a second sidelink synchronization reference user equipment extends synchronization coverage of a first sidelink synchronization reference user equipment; means for determining (1002) a first synchronization error between the first sidelink synchronization reference user equipment and the second sidelink synchronization reference user equipment and a second synchronization error between the first sidelink synchronization reference user equipment and the apparatus; and means for determining (1004) whether to operate the apparatus as a sidelink synchronization reference user equipment and extend the synchronization coverage of the first sidelink synchronization reference user equipment based on the first synchronization error and the second synchronization error.

    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus configured to determine a wake-up signal beam failure relating to a subset of configured wake-up signal beams in a cell, provide to a node controlling the cell a request to recover from the wake-up signal beam failure, the request comprising a list of wake-up signal beam identities ordered based on received signal strengths at which the respective wake-up signal beams are received at the apparatus, receive a response from the node controlling the cell, the response indicating a second subset of the configured wake-up signal beams in the cell, and begin monitoring the second subset of the configured wake-up signal beams.
