Resource allocation for channel occupancy time sharing in mode two sidelink communication

A method of wireless communication performed by a first sidelink user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• receiving, from a second sidelink UE:
• a first resource indicator indicating resources associated with a sidelink communication, wherein the resources are indicated relative to a beginning of a first channel occupancy time (COT);
• and
• a first COT indicator associated with COT sharing;
• performing a first listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure;
• and
• transmitting, to a third sidelink UE, based on the first LBT procedure being successful and based at least in part on the first resource indicator or the first COT indicator, a sidelink communication during the first COT.

A first sidelink user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a memory;
• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the first sidelink UE is configured to:
• perform a first listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure;
• and
• transmit, to a second sidelink UE based on the first LBT procedure being successful, at least one of:
• a resource indicator indicating resources associated with a sidelink communication, wherein the resources are indicated relative to when the first LBT procedure is successful;
• or
• a channel occupancy time (COT) indicator associated with COT sharing.
