NETWORK CONTROLLED SIDELINK OFF-LOADING OVER UNLICENSED CARRIER

Abstract:

Wireless communications systems and methods related to sidelink communications in an unlicensed frequency band are provided. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS), a first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first listen-before-talk (LBT) time. The UE determines a first sidelink transmission opportunity for communicating in an unlicensed frequency band at the first LBT time based on the first DCI.
