Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, some user equipment (UEs) may be configured for sidelink communications using a first radio access technology (RAT) (e.g., via a cellular network) and other wireless devices may be configured for sidelink communications using a second RAT (e.g., via a wireless local area network (WLAN)). In order to mitigate interference between communications using the first and second RAT, when a first UE is scheduled to transmit or receive a data transmission on a set of resources using the first RAT, the first UE may transmit a message using the second RAT indicating that the data transmission is to occur on the set of resources. Accordingly, the second device may receive the message and determine to refrain from communicating on the set of resources.
