Abstract: Aspects relate to estimating occupancy of a wireless communication channel. A first user equipment (e.g., a first sidelink device) may transmit to a second user equipment (e.g., a second sidelink device) via one or more subchannels allocated for device-to-device communication. The second user equipment may also transmit to the first user equipment via one or more of the subchannels. To mitigate interference on the subchannels, the second user equipment may measure received signal strength on the subchannels to estimate the occupancy of the subchannels (e.g., by calculate a channel busy ratio). In addition, the second user equipment may account for signal leakage from a first subchannel (e.g., on which the first user equipment is transmitting data) onto a second subchannel. As a result, subchannels that may otherwise be indicated as occupied due to leakage may instead by indicated as unoccupied, thereby improving the accuracy of the channel occupancy estimation.
