Claim 24:
25. A base station (BS) comprising:
a transceiver, a memory, and at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that are executable by the at least one process, individually or in any combination, to cause the BS to:
sense an interference level of at least one frequency;
select, based on the interference level, a frequency sub-channel for communicating a first stage sidelink control information (SCI-1) and a second stage sidelink control information (SCI-2); and
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of the selected frequency sub-channel for communicating the SCI-1 and the SCI-2 and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols for the SCI-1 and the SCI-2, wherein the OFDM symbols for the SCI-1 and the SCI-2 overlap in time, and wherein a number of the OFDM symbols for the SCI-2 is based on the selected frequency sub-channel.
