Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses for sidelink (SL) beam indication. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting, to a second UE, a first set of reference signals or receiving, from the second UE, a second set of reference signal. The method further includes identifying a beam indication for transmission to or reception from the second UE; determining, based on the beam indication, a spatial transmission filter or a spatial reception filter; and determining a time T to apply the beam indication. The beam indication is associated with a reference signal from the first set of reference signals or the second set of reference signals. The method further includes transmitting, to the second UE, a first SL channel using the spatial transmission filter starting from the time T or receiving, from the second UE, a second SL channel using the spatial reception filter starting from the time T.
