Claim 13:
14. An apparatus for wireless communication at a sidelink device, comprising:
memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive a configuration of multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) for sidelink communication, each bandwidth part (BWP) comprising one or more sidelink resource pools;
activate a BWP from the multiple BWPs configured for the sidelink communication;
transmit or receive the sidelink communication in resources from a resource pool in the activated BWP;
transmit or receive sidelink control information (SCI) in a first BWP comprising an indication of a BWP switch from the first BWP to a second BWP, the SCI indicating a sidelink grant for a sidelink transmission in the first BWP; and
switch to the second BWP in response to the indication of the BWP switch and after a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) associated with the sidelink transmission in the first BWP, wherein a switching time is defined for the BWP switch from a symbol comprising feedback for a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) that indicates the BWP switch to a first slot in which resource pools in the second BWP become active.
