Abstract: A wireless device initializes a candidate resource set comprising a first resource for a sidelink transmission. The wireless device determines to not use the first resource for the sidelink transmission, based on: the first resource being excluded from the candidate resource set; and a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the first resource, based on a received sidelink control information (SCI) of the first resource, being higher than a RSRP threshold. The wireless device transmits the sidelink transmission, via a second resource in the candidate resource set, wherein the second resource does not comprise the first resource.

Abstract: Risk associated with end-user computing tools can be discovered automatically. Machine learning and other approaches can be employed to automate discovery of risk associated with end-user computing tools. In one instance, a machine learning model can be constructed and fine-tuned through training that can classify end-user computing tools in terms of risk. The risk can be of a particular type, such as financial or reputational risk, and extent, such as high or low. In another instance, end-user computing tools can be subject to automatic clustering and subsequent risk assessment. Mitigation action can be performed to reduce risk associated with high-risk end-user computing tools.
