In some aspects, a target UE 120 may include means for receiving, from a serving BS, a sidelink resource grant that identifies one or more resources for sidelink reception from a source UE, means for activating monitoring of a sidelink based at least in part on receiving the sidelink resource grant, means for monitoring the one or more resources on the sidelink to receive a sidelink communication from the source UE based at least in part on activating the monitoring of the sidelink, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of UE 120 described in connection with FIG. 2, such as controller/processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and/or the like.

In some aspects, base station 110 may include means for receiving an indication of a sidelink communication queued for communication between a source UE and a target UE, means for transmitting, via another, a sidelink resource grant to identify one or more resources for the sidelink communication for the source UE and the target UE on a sidelink, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of base station 110 described in connection with FIG. 2, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, and/or the like.

As indicated above, FIG. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 2.
