Claim 0:
1. A method for a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
performing a Sidelink (SL) communication associated with a destination Identity (ID);
having, or being configured with, a SL Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration for at least an on-duration timer and a DRX cycle associated with the SL communication;
deriving a first offset associated with the SL communication based on the destination ID and the DRX cycle;
deriving a second offset associated with the SL communication based on the destination ID and a number of slots per subframe, wherein at least one of:
the second offset is derived by a first value divided by the number of slots per subframe, wherein the first value is a remainder of the destination ID divided by the number of slots per subframe; or
the second offset is set to (the destination ID modulo the number of slots per subframe)/(the number of slots per subframe);

starting the on-duration timer after a time period determined based on the second offset from the beginning of a subframe, wherein the subframe is determined based on at least the first offset; and
monitoring Sidelink Control Information (SCI) when the on-duration timer is running.
