Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for use of flexible starting locations for SL transmissions in a wireless communication system. A method of user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system operating with a shared spectrum channel access includes determining a set of multiple orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a slot and performing a channel access procedure over a channel. The method further includes transmitting a sidelink transmission over the channel, starting from an OFDM symbol within the set of multiple OFDM symbols in the slot, upon successfully performing the channel access procedure before the OFDM symbol. The set of multiple OFDM symbols in the slot may be determined based on a higher layer configuration or pre-configurations.
