Abstract

In some aspects, a method of wireless communication includes performing a full reference signal receive power (RSRP) sweep for a first slot to determine a first resource exclusion RSRP threshold, and performing a resource reevaluation for a second slot based on the first resource exclusion RSRP threshold from the first slot. In some aspects, a method of wireless communication may include performing a full RSRP sweep for a first slot to determine a first resource exclusion RSRP threshold and performing the full RSRP sweep for a second slot that is a number of slots following the first slot to determine a second resource exclusion RSRP threshold. For each slot between the first slot and the second slot, the resource reevaluation may be performed based on the first resource exclusion RSRP threshold determined for the first slot.
