Abstract
A user equipment (UE) communicates on a shared channel using sidelink transmissions. The UE determines a channel access priority for the sidelink transmission based on a channel access priority for the UE, a channel access priority associated with a packet priority of the sidelink transmission, a congestion level for the channel, or a remaining time in a packet delay budget of the sidelink transmission. The UE performs a channel access procedure based on the channel access priority for the sidelink transmission to assess that the channel is clear prior to transmitting the sidelink transmission, and transmits the sidelink transmission on the channel.
