Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a sidelink transmitting (Tx) mobile station, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, based at least in part on information stored in the one or more memories, configured to:
perform a sub-band channel access in candidate frequency resources of an unlicensed band for a sidelink positioning reference signal (PRS) transmission to occur in time resources, wherein performing the sub-band channel access includes performing sensing for a presence of other transmissions; and
transmit, from the sidelink Tx mobile station to a sidelink receiving (Rx) mobile station, the sidelink PRS transmission for positioning-related measurements that use an aggregation of the sidelink PRS transmission from one or more sub-bands of the unlicensed band,
wherein the sidelink PRS transmission is transmitted in the one or more sub-bands in association with the one or more sub-bands passing the sub-band channel access.
