Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for sidelink synchronization signals and physical sidelink broadcast channel block (S-SSB) transmission in resource block (RB) sets. A method of a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a set of configurations and determining, based on the set of configurations, a sidelink (SL) bandwidth part (BWP), a resource pool in the SL BWP, a number of RB sets in the SL BWP, and a slot for a transmission of a S-SSB. The number of RB sets include one anchor RB set and one or more non-anchor RB sets. The method further includes attempting to transmit the S-SSB in the slot and at least in the anchor RB set, wherein a channel access procedure is performed on a channel that includes the anchor RB set; and attempting to transmit the S-SSB in the slot and in the one or more non-anchor RB sets only when the channel access procedure fails.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive a set of configurations;
and
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
determine, based on the set of configurations, a sidelink (SL) bandwidth part (BWP);
determine, based on the set of configurations, a resource pool in the SL BWP;
determine, based on the set of configurations, a number of resource block (RB) sets in the SL BWP, wherein the number of RB sets include one anchor RB set and one or more non-anchor RB sets;
and
determine, based on the set of configurations, a slot for a transmission of a sidelink synchronization signals and physical sidelink broadcast channel (S-SS/PSBCH) block,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to:
attempt to transmit the S-SS/PSBCH block in the slot and at least in the anchor RB set, wherein a channel access procedure is performed on a channel that includes the anchor RB set;
and
attempt to transmit the S-SS/PSBCH block in the slot and in the one or more non-anchor RB sets only when the channel access procedure fails.
