Abstract
In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method and apparatus for sidelink communications for identifying a number of non-sidelink occupied resources in a measurement window having a total number of resources in an unlicensed spectrum, wherein the total number of resources can be used by sidelink transmissions and non-sidelink transmissions, determining a channel occupancy ratio (CR) limit for a sidelink transmission based on at least a channel busy ratio (CBR) determined accounting for at least the number of non-sidelink occupied resources in the measurement window, calculating a CR for a sidelink transmission, and transmitting, or refraining from transmitting, the sidelink transmission respectively based on whether the CR does not or does exceed the CR limit.
