Abstract
An apparatus comprising circuitry configured to: determine whether a resource pool of a group of time slots associated with a first carrier spacing overlaps with a resource pool of a frame associated with a second carrier spacing within a period of time; wherein the first carrier spacing has a higher frequency than the second carrier spacing, and the period of time comprises the group of time slots associated with the first carrier spacing and the frame associated with the second carrier spacing; and perform sensing of at least one time slot of the group of time slots, based on whether the resource pool of the group of time slots associated with the first carrier spacing overlaps with the resource pool of the frame associated with the second carrier spacing within the period of time.
