Abstract: A transceiver of a wireless communication system is configured to operate in a sidelink in-coverage, out of coverage or partial coverage scenario, in which resources for a sidelink communication are pre-configured by the wireless communication system or allocated or scheduled autonomously by the transceiver, configured to perform a single-shot-sensing on resources of the sidelink prior to a sidelink transmission to transceiver(s) of the wireless communication system, to obtain a sensing information, configured to determine, for said sidelink transmission, a set of candidate resources out of the resources of the sidelink based on the sensing information, configured to select resources out of candidate resources and to perform said sidelink transmission using the selected resources, wherein the resources of the sidelink are accessed in the time domain on a slot basis, configured to select the resources out of candidate resources for said sidelink transmission and to be ready to perform said sidelink transmissio
