  • Publication number: 20240155520
    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE obtains a number (N) of transmissions of a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB) with repetitions in a frequency domain. The UE obtains a gap in the frequency domain between two adjacent transmissions of the N transmissions. The UE maps the N S-SSBs into N sets of resources in which two adjacent sets are separated by the gap. The N sets of resources overlap in time domain. The UE performs the N transmissions of the S-SSB using the N sets of resources.
