Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, device, apparatus and computer readable medium for sidelink transmission. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first device determines a target transmission start position from a set of candidate transmission starting positions in a sidelink slot based on an access level of a sidelink transmission to be performed.

Abstract: A user equipment, UE, switches between UL BWPs to perform a random access procedure. A base station transmits a configuration specifying multiple UL BWPs on a NUL carrier and a SUL carrier (802). Because the base station selects the configuration for the UE, the base station is aware of the UL BWP which the UE will select as the active UL BWP as well as the UL BWP to which the UE will switch if the UE lacks RACH resources or if the UE decides to switch the between the NUL and SUL carriers. The base station attempts (804) to detect transmission from the UE on the active UL BWP as well as the initial UL BWP of the same NUL (or SUL) carrier.
