Claim 10:
11. A method of operating a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
identifying configuration information to enable inter-UE co-ordination for a sidelink (SL) resource pool;
transmitting, to a target UE, a signal to trigger transmission of inter-UE co-ordination information, wherein the inter-UE co-ordination information is based on sensing at the target UE;
receiving the inter-UE co-ordination information from the target UE, wherein:
the inter-UE co-ordination information indicates a plurality of resources including at least one of preferred resources and non-preferred resources, and
the preferred resources are resources available for SL transmission and the non-preferred resources are resources not available for SL transmission;

determining a set of candidate SL resources based on the inter-UE co-ordination information;
randomly selecting a SL resource within the determined set; and
transmitting a SL channel on the SL resource.
