Utilization of inter-UE coordination message
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for utilization of an inter-UE coordination message. A UE may receive, from a first UE, an inter-UE coordination message. The inter-UE coordination message may include an indication of a set of resources and an indication of whether the set of resources are preferred resources or non-preferred resources. The UE may be configured to select resources for sidelink communications based on the set of resources indicated in the inter-UE coordination message. The UE may perform differing selection processes based on the set of resources indicated in the inter-UE coordination message. The UE may perform a first process and/or set of processes when the set of resources are indicated as non-preferred and a second process and/or set of processes when the set of resources are indicated as preferred.

7. The UE of claim 6 ,
wherein, to select resources for sidelink communications, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to randomly select resources from the interaction set of resources.
8. The UE of claim 6 ,
wherein, when a number of resources to be selected is less than the number of resources in the interaction set of resources and the first inter-UE coordination message includes an indication of a ranking of resources within the first set of resources, to select resources for sidelink communication, the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to select resources from the interaction set of resources based on indicated rank of resources within the first set of resources, wherein the resources are selected from highest rank in decreasing order up to the number of resources to be selected.
9. The UE of claim 6 ,
wherein a physical layer of the UE determines the resources available for sidelink communication and passes the resources available for sidelink communication to a medium access control (MAC) layer of the UE, and wherein the MAC layer of the UE generates the interaction set and performs selection of the resources for sidelink communications.
10. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory; and
