Aspect 17: The method of any of Aspects 1-16, wherein identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes for sensing channel availability of the sidelink channel, for the communication on the sidelink channel comprises: receiving, from a transmitter, an indication of the channel sensing mode to be used by the UE; and identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes, based at least in part on the indication of the channel sensing mode to be used by the UE.
Aspect 18: The method of any of Aspects 1-17, wherein identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes for sensing channel availability of the sidelink channel, for the communication on the sidelink channel comprises: identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes, based at least in part on a configuration transmitted to the UE.
Aspect 19: The method of any of Aspects 1-18, wherein identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes for sensing channel availability of the sidelink channel, for the communication on the sidelink channel comprises: identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes, based at least in part on a value associated with one or more power constraint parameters.
Aspect 20: The method of Aspect 19, wherein the one or more power constraint parameters include at least one of: a battery level parameter, a power source parameter, a power draw parameter, or a thermal constraint parameter.
Aspect 21: The method of any of Aspects 1-20, further comprising: determining whether the UE is enabled to change the channel sensing mode associated with the UE based at least in part on a configuration transmitted to the UE.
