Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A method for determining a reference timing for sidelink communication, comprising:
a user equipment (UE),
decoding one or more sidelink synchronization signals (SLSSs) received on one or more component carriers (CCs);
for each of the one or more CCs on which the one or more SLSSs are decoded, determining a priority level for a CC based on an indicator in one or more respective SLSSs received on the CC;
selecting, from the one or more CCs on which one or more SLSSs are decoded, the CC for which the determined priority level is highest; and
determining the reference timing for sidelink communication based on the one or more SLSSs received on the selected CC.
