Techniques for sidelink carrier aggregation (CA) and cross-carrier scheduling indication in sidelink control information (SCI)

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the stored instructions to:
• configure, for transmission to a receiver, a multi-component carrier grant including a plurality of component carriers for a physical sidelink share channel (PSSCH);
• and
• transmit, one or both of a set of first sidelink control information (SCI) each including a single component carrier grant indicating resource scheduling information for corresponding to one a respective component carrier from the multi-component carrier grant and associated with scheduling information of the one component carrier such that each of the set of first SCI is associated with a PSSCH in the respective component carrier, or and a second SCI including the multi-component carrier grant and associated with indicating the resource scheduling information of for the plurality of component carriers and associated PSSCH in all of the plurality of component carriers.
