As shown by reference number 715, the higher layer may select sidelink resources based at least in part on information about the DRX cycle of UE 404 (and a DRX cycle of UE 402, if applicable). In some aspects, the higher layer of UE 402 may select resources from the candidate set of sidelink resources such that the initial transmission and, potentially, one or more retransmissions are in the DRX active time of UE 404 or of one or more UEs associated with a destination ID.
As shown by reference number 720, the higher layer of UE 402 may cause the PHY layer of UE 402 to transmit a communication that includes a sidelink resource reservation of the sidelink resources to UE 404, or to one or more UEs associated with a destination ID. In some aspects, the higher layer of UE 402 may cause the PHY layer of UE 402 to transmit a sidelink communication (e.g., data, SCI) using a selected sidelink resource. By utilizing DRX cycle information for sidelink resource selection, UE 402 may avoid communications while UE 404 is asleep and conserve processing resources and signaling resources.
As indicated above,
