Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for wideband operation on an unlicensed sidelink (SL). A method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes determining a sidelink (SL) bandwidth part (BWP); determining a set of resource block sets (RB-sets) and a set of intra-cell guard bands between the set of RB-sets; and determining, based on the set of RB-sets, a resource pool. A lowest RB of the resource pool is aligned with a lowest RB of a first RB set, and a highest RB of the resource pool is aligned with a highest RB of a second RB set. The method further includes determining, based on the resource pool, a set of sub-channels, determining, based on the set of sub-channels, a transmission of a physical SL shared channel (PSSCH), performing a SL channel access procedure, and performing the transmission of the PSSCH after successfully performing the SL channel access procedure.
