Abstract

A wireless device receives a message configuring one or more time intervals for transmitting coordination information to a second wireless device, where the coordination information indicates a set of resources for one or more sidelink transmissions by the second wireless device. The wireless device selects, from the one or more time intervals, a time interval based on at least a priority level of the one or more sidelink transmissions. The wireless device transmits, to the second wireless device, first coordination information indicating a first set of resources for the one or more sidelink transmissions. The wireless device transmits, to the second wireless device and based on the time interval, second coordination information indicating a second set of resources for the one or more sidelink transmissions.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein:

a second-stage sidelink control information of the second message indicates the time interval; or

a medium access control control element (MAC CE) of the second message indicates the time interval.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting the first set of resources based on a first resource selection procedure.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the time interval based on comparison of the priority level of the one or more sidelink transmissions and a priority threshold associated with the time interval, the message configuring one or more priority thresholds comprising the priority threshold.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message further configures at least one of:

one or more reservation intervals of a sidelink resource pool associated with the one or more time intervals;

one or more channel busy ratio (CBR) thresholds associated with the one or more time intervals;

one or more counter thresholds associated with the one or more time intervals; or

one or more thresholds of negative acknowledgements (NACKs) associated with the one or more time intervals.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the time interval based on at least one of:

the reservation interval of the one or more sidelink transmissions and the one or more reservation intervals of the sidelink resource pool associated with the one or more time intervals;
