## Abstract

A first wireless device receives, from a second wireless device and via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), sidelink control information that includes a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports and resource assignment of a physical shared channel (PSSCH) received in one or more first resources. The first wireless device determines a second reference signal received power (RSRP) of the PSSCH based on a measurement of a first RSRP of the PSSCH and at least one of: the number of DMRS antenna ports or measurement of a channel busy ratio (CBR). The first wireless device transmits, via one or more second resources selected based on the second RSRP and that are for transmission within a set of candidate resources, one or more transport blocks via the one or more second resources.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
receiving, by a first wireless device from a second wireless device and via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), sidelink control information comprising:
a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports; and
resource assignment of a physical shared channel (PSSCH) received in one or more first resources;
determining a second reference signal received power (RSRP) of the PSSCH based on a measurement of a first RSRP of the PSSCH and at least one of:
the number of DMRS antenna ports; or
measurement of a channel busy ratio (CBR); and
transmitting, via one or more second resources selected based on the second RSRP and that are for transmission within a set of candidate resources, one or more transport blocks via the one or more second resources.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the second RSRP further comprises adding an offset to the first RSRP.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the offset is based on the number of DMRS antenna ports.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the offset is per the number of DMRS antenna ports and is indicated by a configuration message.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the configuration message is received from:
a base station via a radio resource control (RRC) message; or
a system information block (SIB).

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the offset increases with the number of DMRS antenna ports.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the offset is based on the CBR.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the offset is per a range of the CBR and is indicated by:
a base station via a radio resource control (RRC) message; or
a system information block (SIB).

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first RSRP is measured by linear average over power contributions of resource elements that carry DMRS transmitted in frequency resources indicated by the resource assignment of the PSSCH.

### Claim 10

A first wireless device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first wireless device to:
receive, from a second wireless device and via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), sidelink control information comprising:
a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna ports; and
resource assignment of a physical shared channel (PSSCH) received in one or more first resources;
measure a first reference signal power (RSRP) of the PSSCH;
measure a channel busy ratio (CBR);
