Claim 16:
17. A method for wireless sidelink communication with a first sidelink device at a second sidelink device, comprising:
receiving a sidelink discovery probing message from the first sidelink device based on an occurrence of an aperiodic trigger, the sidelink discovery probing message identifying the first sidelink device, the sidelink discovery probing message further comprising a beam indication corresponding to at least one beam of multiple beams, the aperiodic trigger being based on a beam refinement procedure;
transmitting a probing response to the first sidelink device responsive to the sidelink discovery probing message; and
monitoring, at the second sidelink device, monitoring for a sidelink discovery message from the first sidelink device, wherein the monitoring is based on a mapping between a first resource for the sidelink discovery probing message and a second resource for the probing response.
