Claim 24:
25. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
means for selecting, within a resource selection window corresponding to a projected used channel occupancy time (COT) region, a plurality of resources in which to transmit over an unlicensed sidelink channel, wherein the plurality of resources includes a first resource associated with a first subchannel and a second resource associated with a second subchannel non-contiguous with the first subchannel;
means for attempting a listen before talk (LBT) procedure to initiate a COT in which to transmit over the unlicensed sidelink channel;
means for moving, based at least in part on the LBT procedure succeeding, the second resource to a time resource, contiguous with the first resource and associated with the first subchannel, such that the first resource and the second resource are contiguous in a time domain, wherein the second resource is moved at a medium access control layer based at least in part on a trigger at a physical layer indicating that the LBT procedure succeeded; and
means for transmitting, over the unlicensed sidelink channel and based at least in part on moving the second resource, using the plurality of resources that are adjusted to be contiguous in at least the time domain.
