Abstract
A method determines a number of physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) symbols and a number of PSSCH demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbols that will occur in a timeslot that is used for scheduling. PSSCH DMRS locations in the timeslot are derived based on applying the PSSCH DMRS symbols and the PSSCH DMRS symbols to a look-up table. A number of PSSCH DMRS resource elements (REs) is calculated based on the PSSCH DMRS locations and a scheduled number of PSSCH sub-channels. This number of PSSCH DMRS REs is used to determine a transport block size (TBS) included in transmissions over a sidelink channel.
