Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), the instructions to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) sidelink communication, and to cause the UE to:
determine a set of candidate resources of the UE from a sidelink resource pool, wherein the sidelink resource is divided into multiple time slots and frequency sub-channels;
perform first sensing on the set of candidate resources;
select a first plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources based on the first sensing;
encode sidelink control information (SCI) for transmission to a second UE via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), wherein the SCI indicates a reservation of the first plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources;
after transmission of the SCI and before first transmission of an associated physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), perform second sensing on at least the first plurality of transmission resources, and select a second plurality of transmission resources of the set of candidate resources based on the second sensing; and
encode the associated PSSCH for transmission to the second UE using a plurality of transmission resources from the second plurality of transmission resources, wherein the PSSCH is encoded to include a transport block.
