US 2022/0021508 A1 · LICENSED ASSISTED SIDELINK ACCESS USING AN INDICATION OF MULTIPLE DATA CHANNELS

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a second UE via a sidelink sub-channel of a licensed carrier, an indication of multiple data channels of an unlicensed carrier to be used to attempt one or more sidelink communications between the first UE and the second UE. The UE may attempt the one or more sidelink communications between the first UE and the second UE using the multiple data channels. Numerous other aspects are provided.
