LISTEN-BEFORE-TALK (LBT) AWARE AUTONOMOUS SENSING FOR SIDELINK

Abstract:

Wireless communications systems and methods related to LBT aware autonomous sidelink sensing are provided. A first UE determines, based on a projected listen-before-talk (LBT) completion time, at least one of a sensing window or a first resource selection window. The first UE senses, based on the determining, in a sidelink resource pool within a shared radio frequency band during the sensing window. The first UE identifies, based on the sensing, a subset of resources from the sidelink resource pool that are within the first resource selection window. The first UE selects at least a first resource from the subset of resources. The first UE transmits, to a second UE using the selected first resource, a sidelink transmission.
