Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently identifying resources for transmitting one or more sidelink synchronization signal blocks (S-SSBs) in the shared spectrum or efficiently beam sweeping multiple S-SSBs in the shared spectrum. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may transmit an S-SSB in a sidelink bandwidth part (BWP) in the shared spectrum such that a lower edge of the S-SSB is aligned with or offset from a lower edge of the sidelink BWP. In another aspect, a UE may beam sweep S-SSBs in one or more S-SSB bursts in a S-SSB period to improve the chances that another UE may receive the S-SSBs. In yet another aspect, resources allocated for S-SSB transmissions may facilitate flexible S-SSB transmissions while minimizing gaps to prevent other UEs from incorrectly determining that a sidelink BWP in a shared spectrum is clear for transmission.
