The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may identify a channel sensing mode, from one or more channel sensing modes for sensing channel availability of a sidelink channel, for a communication on the sidelink channel, each of the one or more channel sensing modes associated with a set of resources. In some aspects, the channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may include a controller/processor and/or a memory of the UE described in connection with
The communication performing component 1010 may select resources associated with the sidelink channel for the communication in accordance with the channel sensing mode. The communication performing component 1010 and/or the transmission component 1004 may transmit, or may cause the transmission component 1004 to transmit, using the resources, the communication on the sidelink channel.
The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may determine a value of one or more parameters related to a QoS associated with the communication. The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may identify the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes, based at least in part on the value of the one or more parameters.
