CPC Code(s): H04W72/40
Abstract: disclosed is a method performed by a wireless transmitter device, for contention-based sidelink transmission. the method comprises obtaining information defining a transmission resource pool and a resource reservation pool comprising one or more reservation resources associated with respective transmission resources in the transmission resource pool. the method comprises monitoring a reservation resource associated with a transmission resource selected by the wireless transmitter device for sidelink transmission, for a resource reservation signal transmitted by one or more other wireless transmitter devices attempting to reserve the same transmission resource. the method comprises: upon determining based on the monitoring that the transmission resource is available, transmitting, after the monitoring, to a wireless device, using the reservation resource, a resource reservation signal indicating that the wireless transmitter device intends to use the transmission resource. the timing of the transmission of the resource reservation signal is randomly selected by the wireless transmitter device.
