Devices and methods for resource selection in wireless communications

A method for transmitting a message in wireless communications, the method comprising:

• receiving a first information from a cell, the first information comprising boundaries of a plurality of zones of the cell, wherein each of the plurality of zones is allocated a respective set of resources;
• selecting a first zone of the plurality of zones based on a position calculated from a second information;
• selecting a second zone of the plurality of zones based on a deviation value of the first information, wherein the deviation value is indicative of a range to a boundary between at least the first zone and the second zone;
• comparing a contention in resources of the first zone to a contention in resources of the second zone;
• and
• transmitting the message based on the comparison.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor of a communication device, direct the communication device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a first information from a cell, the first information comprising boundaries of a plurality of zones of the cell, wherein each of the plurality of zones is allocated a respective set of resources;
• selecting a first zone of the plurality of zones based on a position calculated from a second information;
• selecting a second zone of the plurality of zones based on a deviation value of the first information, wherein the deviation value is indicative of a range to a boundary between at least the first zone and the second zone;
• comparing a contention in resources of the first zone to a contention in resources of the second zone;
• and
• transmitting the message based on the comparison.
