  • Publication number: 20240040568
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a configuration of multiple resource patterns for one or more user equipments (UEs) to use for transmission of sidelink signals over a quantity of transmission time intervals (TTIs) (e.g., sub-slots) within a slot. For example, a UE may determine a resource pattern to use for transmitting sidelink signals based on an assignment from a network entity, an initial frequency offset, information included in control signaling, or any combination thereof. In some examples, the UE may transmit, via the sidelink channel, an indication of the resource pattern used by the UE, such that other UEs in the system may determine the resource pattern used by the UE. The UE may transmit a sidelink signal in accordance with the resource pattern, while other UEs may use other resource patterns for sidelink transmissions within the same slot.
