Beamformed channel busy ratio

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may measure a per-beam channel busy ratio (CBR) for each of one or more beams configured on the sidelink receiver for transmitting or receiving sidelink transmissions including a first CBR for a first beam that is to be used for receiving a sidelink transmission transmitted by a first sidelink transmitter; and may transmit an indication of the per-beam CBR. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive information associated with a per-beam CBR including a first CBR for a first beam to be used by a sidelink receiver for receiving a sidelink transmission transmitted by the sidelink transmitter, and may selectively transmit the sidelink transmission for reception by the sidelink transmitter using the first beam based at least in part on the indication of the per-beam CBR. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
