Claim 13:
14. An apparatus adapted to control a first user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the one or more processors, cause the first UE to perform operations comprising:
selecting a synchronization reference;
determining a selection window;
selecting at least one first candidate resource within the selection window based on sensing;
selecting additionally, at least one second candidate resource within sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) active time of a second UE, based on (i) the SL DRX active time of the second UE being obtained, and (ii) the at least one first candidate resource not being within the SL DRX active time of the second UE;
selecting an SL resource from a subset of resources including the at least one first candidate resource and the at least one second candidate resource; and
performing SL transmission, based on the SL resource and the synchronization reference.
