Abstract
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first device determines one or more second devices to share a channel occupancy time (COT) for a sidelink transmission over an unlicensed spectrum bands. The first device transmits the information which indicates the COT to be shared by the first device and the one or more second devices. The second device determines a transmission gap within the COT and performs a LBT/CCA on the unlicensed spectrum bands based on the determined gap. In this way, it achieves sharing the COT among SL devices. It can improve spectrum efficiency and avoid resource waste.
