Abstract: Methods, systems, and. devices may assist in new radio (NR) sidelink (SL) operation in licensed or unlicensed spectrum.

If LBT failure rate is high, then explicit ACK and implicit NACK may be used. A second SL timer may start. If no explicit ACK is received before the SL timer expires, then NACK may be assumed.
