Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may select, within a resource selection window, a set of resources in which to transmit over an unlicensed sidelink channel. The UE may attempt a listen before talk (LBT) procedure to initiate a channel occupancy time in which to transmit over the unlicensed sidelink channel. The UE may adjust, within at least a portion of the resource selection window, the set of resources in which to transmit over the unlicensed sidelink channel to be contiguous in at least a time domain based at least in part on the LBT procedure succeeding. The UE may transmit, over the unlicensed sidelink channel, using the set of resources that are adjusted to be contiguous in at least the time domain. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some cases, a first user equipment (UE) may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to identify a channel occupancy time (COT). The COT may include some slots for transmitting a sidelink message and some sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB) slots for transmitting S-SSBs. In some examples, to fill a gap created by the S-SSB slots within the COT and thus maintain the COT across the S-SSB slots, the first UE or the second UE may transmit some signaling to provide transmissions in the S-SSB slots. For example, the first UE may transmit a padding signal, the second UE may transmit S-SSBs, or the UEs may use a gap control procedure. Upon filling the gap, the first UE may transmit a sidelink message to the second UE in slots of the COT excluding the S-SSB slots.

Abstract: Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to mechanisms to aid a user equipment (UE) in determining the channel access priority (CAPC) to use for a data radio bearer (DRB) on sidelink that includes multiple quality of service (QoS) flows for a transmission. The UE may receive an indication from a base station (BS) regarding what CAPC to use, or it may itself determine the CAPC based on a rule. The UE may map the plurality of QoS flows to the DRB and transmit the QoS flows using the DRB and the selected CAPC.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for sidelink channel access via a floating channel occupancy. In some aspects, a cellular device may operate within a proximity of one or more wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) devices and may conditionally support a search space associated with a floating sidelink synchronization signal block (SSB). For example, if the cellular device detects that the Wi-Fi devices are precluding the cellular device from acquiring channel access or otherwise making it relatively more difficult for the cellular device to acquire channel access, the cellular device may enable or active a use of the search space associated with the floating sidelink SSB. If enabled or activated, the cellular device may transmit a floating sidelink SSB within the search space independent of slot boundaries upon a successful listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may use a downlink control information (DCI) message to indicate timing resources to a user equipment (UE) for multiple downlink data repetitions in a slot. In a first implementation, the base station may indicate an explicit time domain resource allocation (TDRA) for one repetition in the TDRA field of the DCI, and the UE may determine implicit TDRAs for the other repetitions based on the explicit TDRA. In a second implementation, the base station may indicate a total TDRA for the full set of repetitions in the TDRA field, and the UE may divide the total TDRA into individual TDRAs for the repetitions. The UE may receive the downlink data repetitions based on determining the TDRAs and may transmit a feedback message in response based on a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) codebook.
