MULTIPLEXING SIDELINK-SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK (S-SSB) AND PHYSICAL SIDELINK CONTROL CHANNEL/PHYSICAL SIDELINK SHARED CHANNEL (PSCCH/PSCCH) AND FULFILMENT OF OCCUPANCY CHANNEL BANDWIDTH (OCB) FOR NEW RADIO-UNLICENSED (NR-U) SIDELINK

摘要

Wireless communications systems and methods related to multiplexing a sidelink-synchronization signal block (S-SSB) transmission with a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH)/physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission for occupancy channel bandwidth (OCB) fulfilment are provided. A user equipment (UE) determines a multiplex configuration for multiplexing a sidelink transmission with a S-SSB transmission in a sidelink bandwidth part (BWP). The UE communicates, in the sidelink BWP during a sidelink slot, the S-SSB transmission. The UE communicates, in the sidelink BWP during the sidelink slot, the sidelink transmission, where the S-SSB transmission and the sidelink transmission are communicated by multiplexing the sidelink transmission and the S-SSB transmission based on the multiplex configuration.
