Abstract: A UE obtains a channel occupancy time (COT) for a set of resources on a sidelink (SL) in an unlicensed spectrum through a channel access procedure. The UE determines whether a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) transmission scheme is utilized for a SL transmission on the sidelink in the COT. The UE selects a cyclic prefix extension (CPE) starting position prior to an initial symbol containing the SL transmission. The UE selects the default CPE starting position as the CPE starting position when the FDM transmission scheme is utilized. The UE randomly selects the CPE starting position from a subset of a set of all candidate CPE starting positions based on an L1 priority of the SL transmission when the FDM transmission scheme is not utilized. The UE transmits a CPE at the selected CPE starting position and performs the SL transmission after the CPE transmission.
