Claim 14:
15. A method, comprising:
determining a set of candidate resources of a user equipment (UE) from a sidelink resource pool, wherein the sidelink resource is divided into multiple time slots and frequency sub-channels;
performing first sensing on the set of candidate resources;
selecting a first plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources based on the first sensing;
encoding sidelink control information (SCI) for transmission to a second UE via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), wherein the SCI indicates a reservation of the first plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources;
after transmission of the SCI and before first transmission of an associated physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), performing second sensing on at least the first plurality of transmission resources, and select a second plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources based on the second sensing; and
encoding the associated PSSCH for transmission to the second UE using a plurality of transmission resources from the second plurality of transmission resources, wherein the PSSCH is encoded to include a transport block.
