  • Publication number: 20260239392
    Abstract: A first wireless device determines a sidelink listen-before-talk (LBT) failure for a first resource block (RB) set, of RB sets of a first sidelink carrier of one or more sidelink carriers. The first wireless device starts a sidelink LBT failure detection timer for the first RB set. The first wireless device determines a consistent LBT failure for the first RB set based on a counter value of a sidelink LBT counter for the first RB set. The first wireless device determines a sidelink RLF detection for multiple destination identifiers associated with unicast service. Determining the sidelink RLF detection is based on a consistent LBT failure having been triggered in all RB sets of a sidelink resource pool configured in a first sidelink bandwidth part (BWP). The first wireless device releases multiple unicast links associated with the multiple destination identifiers.
