  • Publication number: 20250234363
    Abstract: A first wireless device receives, from a base station, a message comprising configuration parameters of a resource pool for one or more first sidelink transmissions. The first wireless device determines, based on a channel access priority class (CAPC) value of the one or more first sidelink transmissions, a first quantity of consecutive time slots for multi-consecutive slots transmission (MCSt) of the one or more first sidelink transmissions, wherein the first quantity of consecutive time slots are within a maximum channel occupancy time (COT) duration, and the maximum COT duration is based on the CAPC value. The first wireless device selects one or more resources comprising the first quantity of consecutive time slots for the MCSt of the one or more first sidelink transmissions, and transmits, to a second wireless device and via the one or more resources, the one or more first sidelink transmissions.

  • Publication number: 20250227757
    Abstract: A first wireless device receives first sidelink control information comprising one or more parameters indicating a reserved resource for a second sidelink transmission. The first wireless device initiates a channel occupancy for a first sidelink transmission before the reserved resource, wherein initiating the channel occupancy is based on: a first type of channel access procedure; and an energy detection threshold for channel occupancy sharing. The first wireless device transmits a second sidelink control information indicating sharing the channel occupancy with the second wireless device for the second sidelink transmission in the channel occupancy. The first wireless device transmits, using a second type of channel access procedure and based on sharing the channel occupancy with the second wireless device, a third sidelink transmission within the channel occupancy and after the second sidelink transmission.

  • Publication number: 20250185061
    Abstract: A wireless device selects, based on a sidelink (SL) selection window for SL resource selection, a first multi-slot resource from among a set comprising multi-slot candidate resources in a SL resource pool. The first multi-slot resource comprises a plurality of SL slots. The wireless device determines a random number, between zero and a value of a contention window, as an initial value of a counter for a type 1 channel access procedure. The wireless device senses, after a value of the counter is zero, a channel to be idle. The wireless device transmits, to a second wireless device and via the first multi-slot resource, a second stage SL control information (SCI) comprising an SCI format 2-A. The SCI format 2-A indicates a duration of a channel occupancy time (COT). The COT is initiated, by the wireless device, based on sensing the channel to be idle.
