Assignee: APPLE INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory; and
processing circuitry in communication with the memory, wherein, to configure a user equipment (UE) for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) sidelink communication, the processing circuitry is configured 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.
