    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may select, within a resource selection window, a set of resources in which to transmit over an unlicensed sidelink channel. The UE may attempt a listen before talk (LBT) procedure to initiate a channel occupancy time in which to transmit over the unlicensed sidelink channel. The UE may adjust, within at least a portion of the resource selection window, the set of resources in which to transmit over the unlicensed sidelink channel to be contiguous in at least a time domain based at least in part on the LBT procedure succeeding. The UE may transmit, over the unlicensed sidelink channel, using the set of resources that are adjusted to be contiguous in at least the time domain. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a receiver UE, a stage one sidelink control information (SCI) message that indicates one or more sub-channels occupied by the transmitter UE. The transmitter UE may transmit, to the receiver UE, a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) using the one or more sub-channels occupied by the transmitter UE according to a configured grant associated with the transmitter UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter user equipment (UE) may transmit a stage one sidelink control information (SCI) message to multiple receiver UEs. In some aspects, the stage one SCI message may indicate respective resource reservations for multiple sidelink transmissions to the multiple receiver UEs. The transmitter UE may transmit a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to a subset of the multiple receiver UEs based at least in part on a configured grant associated with the subset of the multiple receiver UEs and the respective resource reservations indicated in the stage one SCI message. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that an availability condition is satisfied, wherein the availability condition relates to an availability of the UE for sidelink communication; identify future available information (FAI) that indicates at least one of a time domain availability of the UE for sidelink communication or a frequency domain availability of the UE for sidelink communication; and transmit the FAI based at least in part on determining that the availability condition is satisfied. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for wireless communications in narrowband frequency bands using frequency hopping. In some implementations, a base station (BS) groups a plurality of hopping channels of a frequency hopping pattern into a number of groups based on a bandwidth part (BWP) hopping frequency of each hopping channel of the frequency hopping pattern. The BS transmits indications of the frequency hopping pattern and the grouping of hopping channels to user equipments (UEs). The BS transmits a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) on a first hopping channel, and receives channel state information (CSI) of the first hopping channel from one or more of the UEs. In some other implementations, a UE receives indications of the frequency hopping pattern and hopping channel groups, and determines CSI of the first hopping channel based on the received CSI-RS. The UE may transmit the CSI to the BS.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for narrowband communications using frequency hopping. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may receive a discovery reference signal (DRS) including a skipping signal identifying one or more UEs, may stay on an anchor channel when the skipping signal identifies the UE, and may switch from the anchor channel to a first downlink (DL) hopping channel of a DL frequency hopping pattern when the signal does not identify the UE. In some other implementations, a base station (BS) may be configured to output a DRS including a skipping signal identifying one or more UEs, output a signal indicating a channel occupancy time (COT) obtained on a first DL hopping channel of a DL frequency hopping pattern, and output DL data on the first DL hopping channel of the DL frequency hopping pattern.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for narrowband communications using frequency hopping in an unlicensed frequency band. In some aspects, a base station (BS) and a user equipment (UE) may communicate with one another over a sequence of unique frequency sub-bands of a frequency hopping pattern. In some instances, the BS and the UE may switch from a current frequency sub-band to another frequency sub-band based on a number of unsuccessful attempts to gain access to the current frequency sub-band. In some other instances, the BS and the UE may communicate data using configured grant (CG) resources based on a number of unsuccessful attempts to gain access to the current frequency sub-band.
