determining whether each of one or more candidate resources is subject to interference caused by periodic and aperiodic transmissions from one or more other user equipment (UEs) in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) network by performing aperiodic sensing and periodic sensing, wherein the aperiodic sensing includes contiguous partial sensing, and the duration of the contiguous partial sensing is longer than that of the periodic sensing, to detect reserving resource outside a periodic sensing window;

selecting a resource from the one or more candidate resources based on a result of the determining; and

performing a sidelink (SL) communication using the selected resource.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the determining whether each of the one or more candidate resources is subject to interference comprises:

identifying the one or more candidate resources within a selection window after a point in time; and

performing the aperiodic sensing and the periodic sensing prior to the point in time based on a location in time of each of the one or more candidate resources.
