Long-term evolution and new radio sidelink co-channel coexistence

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• establish communications with a user equipment (UE) using a first radio access technology;
• and
• transmit, to the UE, control signaling comprising an indication of a configuration for a coexistence of resources used for the first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, wherein the UE operates in accordance with the first radio access technology.

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a base station, control signaling comprising an indication of a configuration for a coexistence of resources used for a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, wherein the UE operates in accordance with the first radio access technology;
• performing, during a measurement period, a measurement of a control channel of the second radio access technology in response to the receiving;
• and
• determining an initial partition of the resources based at least in part on the configuration and the measurement, wherein a first group of the initial partition of the resources is associated with the second radio access technology.
