Abstract
Aspects presented herein may improve the resource allocation of sidelink communications and reduce power consumption for sidelink devices. In one aspect, a first wireless device selects a resource for a discovery message from a sidelink resource pool that is partitioned into a first portion and a second portion. The first wireless device transmits a discovery message to a second wireless device using the resource selected from the first portion of the sidelink resource pool. The first wireless device monitor for a discovery response message from the second wireless device in the sidelink resource pool.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- select a resource for a discovery message from a sidelink resource pool that is partitioned into a first portion and a second portion;
- transmit the discovery message to a second wireless device using the resource selected from the first portion of the sidelink resource pool;
- and
- monitor for a discovery response message from the second wireless device in the sidelink resource pool.
A method of wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:
- selecting a resource for a discovery message from a sidelink resource pool that is partitioned into a first portion and a second portion;
- transmitting the discovery message to a second wireless device using the resource selected from the first portion of the sidelink resource pool;
- and
- monitoring for a discovery response message from the second wireless device in the sidelink resource pool.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a second wireless device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- monitor for a discovery message in a first portion of a sidelink resource pool, wherein the sidelink resource pool is partitioned into the first portion and a second portion;
- receive the discovery message in the first portion of the sidelink resource pool from a first wireless device;
- and
- transmit a discovery response message or a connection establishment request message to the second wireless device in the sidelink resource pool.
A method of wireless communication at a second wireless device, comprising:
- monitoring for a discovery message in a first portion of a sidelink resource pool, wherein the sidelink resource pool is partitioned into the first portion and a second portion;
- receiving the discovery message in the first portion of the sidelink resource pool from a first wireless device;
- and
- transmitting a discovery response message or a connection establishment request message to the second wireless device in the sidelink resource pool.
