Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. An unsynchronized user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor communicatively coupled with the memory, the processor configured to execute the instructions to:
receive a data packet from a synchronized UE, wherein the unsynchronized UE lacks sidelink synchronization capability to support transmission and reception of sidelink synchronization signals;
determine an adjusted timing offset value based on reference signals included in the data packet from the synchronized UE;
adjust a timing of the unsynchronized UE based on the adjusted timing offset value to define an adjusted timing; and
transmit or receive, at the unsynchronized UE, a signal based on the adjusted timing.
