Resource selection for 5g nr v2x pc5 mode 2

An apparatus comprising:

• an antenna configured to measure sidelink received signal strength indicator (SL-RSSI) values and sidelink reference signal power received (SL-RSRP) values from a current window of a communication channel shared among a plurality of UEs;
• and
• a processor configured to
• exclude a first subset of communication resources from a next window of the communication channel based on the SL-RSSI values in the current window,
• exclude a second subset of communication resources from the next window of the communication channel based on the SL-RSRP values, and
• select and reserve a resource(s) remaining in the next window of the communication channel after exclusion of the first and second subsets of communication resources from the next window.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• measuring, via a user equipment (UE), sidelink received signal strength indicator (SL-RSSI) values and sidelink reference signal power received (SL-RSRP) values from a current window of a communication channel shared among a plurality of UEs;
• excluding a first subset of communication resources from a next window of the communication channel based on the SL-RSSI values in the current window;
• excluding a second subset of communication resources from the next window of the communication channel based on the SL-RSRP values;
• and
• selecting and reserving a resource(s) remaining in the next window of the communication channel after exclusion of the first and second subsets of communication resources from the next window.
