Techniques for power saving in sidelink communications

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, on a first set of symbols of a time slot, a sidelink control channel for a sidelink transmission;
• decode the sidelink control channel;
• and
• disable one or more radio frequency components associated with processing the sidelink transmission on a second set of symbols of the time slot based at least in part on decoding the sidelink control channel.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for receiving, on a first set of symbols of a time slot, a sidelink control channel for a sidelink transmission;
• means for decoding the sidelink control channel;
• and
• means for disabling one or more radio frequency components associated with processing the sidelink transmission on a second set of symbols of the time slot based at least in part on decoding the sidelink control channel.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• receive, on a first set of symbols of a time slot, a sidelink control channel for a sidelink transmission;
• decode the sidelink control channel;
• and
• disable one or more radio frequency components associated with processing the sidelink transmission on a second set of symbols of the time slot based at least in part on decoding the sidelink control channel.
