Aspects directed towards a network-assisted sidelink scheduling operation are disclosed. In one example, a scheduled entity receives a grant of resources from a scheduling entity operating according to a legacy radio access technology (RAT), and translates the grant of resources from a legacy configuration of resources to a non-legacy configuration of resources. The scheduled entity then performs a sidelink communication via the non-legacy configuration of resources. In another example, a scheduling entity operating according to a legacy RAT transmits a system information block (SIB) to a scheduled entity indicating that the scheduling entity can allocate non-legacy resources. The scheduling entity then receives a request for resources from the scheduled entity that corresponds to a non-legacy sidelink communication, and provides a grant of resources to the scheduled entity that includes a non-legacy-specific frequency for transmitting the non-legacy sidelink communication.
