obtaining information defining a transmission resource pool and a resource reservation pool comprising one or more reservation resources associated with respective transmission resources in the transmission resource pool;
monitoring a reservation resource associated with a transmission resource selected by the wireless transmitter device for sidelink transmission, for a resource reservation signal transmitted by one or more other wireless transmitter devices attempting to reserve the same transmission resource; and
upon determining based on the monitoring that the transmission resource is available, transmitting, after the monitoring, to a wireless device, using the reservation resource, a resource reservation signal serving as a Wake-Up Signal (WUS) of the wireless device and indicating to other wireless devices that the wireless transmitter device intends to use the transmission resource;
wherein a timing of the transmission of the resource reservation signal is randomly selected by the wireless transmitter device; and wherein the modulation and coding complexity of the resource reservation signal is lower than a modulation and coding complexity of the sidelink transmission.
