Claim 8:
9. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive, from a network entity, a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration to be used by the UE for cellular communication, wherein the DRX configuration indicates a DRX cycle that includes a DRX on duration and an opportunity to enter a DRX sleep state;
identify a sidelink time window for communication with another UE based at least in part on the DRX configuration; and
communicate using one or more sidelink resources in the sidelink time window, at least a portion of the sidelink time window being included in a DRX active time, wherein the DRX active time indicates a time during which the UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) within the DRX on duration, and wherein the sidelink time window is used for transmitting sidelink communications and not for receiving sidelink communications.
