Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), the instructions to configure the UE for Fifth Generation New Radio (5G-NR) sidelink communications, and to cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
determining a sidelink control information (SCI) format, the SCI format received via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and the SCI format including priority information for a scheduled physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission;
determining first configuration information and second configuration information using configuration signaling, the first configuration information identifying a sensing window, and the second configuration information identifying a resource selection window, wherein a boundary of the resource selection window is based on the priority information;
determining during the sensing window, a set of candidate single-slot resources from a resource pool;
selecting during the resource selection window, a resource from the set of candidate single-slot resources;
causing a sidelink transmission of control information via the PSCCH, the sidelink transmission using the resource;
encoding a resource reservation for a PSCCH transmission in a second SCI format, the resource reservation indicating N resources from a set of resources selected by higher layers with N smallest slot indices; and
causing the PSCCH transmission of the second SCI format.
