14 . The UE of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to report remaining resources from the candidate resource set (S A ) after the exclusion.

15 . The UE of claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to report a location of slots from the Y candidate slots that are within the candidate resource set (S A ).

16 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

trigger a resource selection procedure for sidelink (SL) transmission of a SL data, wherein the SL data for transmission has a resource reservation interval set to zero or not provided at all; and
