Abstract

An apparatus configured to: determine a reserved resource for a first transmission and a received signal strength associated with the reserved resource; determine, from a set of candidate resources for a second transmission, a candidate resource, wherein the candidate resource at least partially overlaps in time with the reserved resource, wherein the candidate resource does not overlap in frequency with the reserved resource; determine a relative location, in frequency, of the candidate resource with respect to at least one of: the reserved resource, a first carrier frequency associated with the first transmission, or a second carrier frequency associated with the second transmission; and exclude the candidate resource from the set of candidate resources in response to the received signal strength, associated with the reserved resource, being above a resource exclusion threshold, wherein the resource exclusion threshold is based, at least partially, on the relative location of the candidate resource.

1 - 25 . (canceled)

26 . An apparatus comprising means for:
determining a reserved resource for a first transmission and a received signal strength associated with the reserved resource; determining, from a set of candidate resources for a second transmission, at least one candidate resource, wherein the at least one candidate resource at least partially overlaps in time with the reserved resource, wherein the at least one candidate resource does not overlap in frequency with the reserved resource; determining a relative location, in frequency, of the at least one candidate resource with respect to at least one of: the reserved resource, a first carrier frequency associated with the first transmission, or a second carrier frequency associated with the second transmission; and excluding the at least one candidate resource from the set of candidate resources for the second transmission in response to the received signal strength, associated with the reserved resource, being above a resource exclusion threshold, wherein the resource exclusion threshold is based, at least partially, on the relative location of the at least one candidate resource.

27 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein at least one of the first transmission or the second transmission comprises one of:
a reference signal transmission, or a channel state information reference signal transmission.

28 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the relative location of the at least one candidate resource comprises a distance, in frequency, between the at least one candidate resource and the reserved resource.

29 . The apparatus of claim 28 , wherein the resource exclusion threshold decreases as the distance, in frequency, between the at least one candidate resource and the reserved resource decreases.

30 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the means are further configured for:
determining the first carrier frequency associated with the first transmission; determining a first overlap, in frequency, between the at least one candidate resource and the first carrier frequency; and determining the resource exclusion threshold based, at least partially, on the first overlap.

31 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein means are further configured for:
determining a first image frequency associated with the reserved resource based, at least partially, on the first carrier frequency associated with the first transmission; determining a second overlap, in frequency, between the at least one candidate resource and the first image frequency; and determining the resource exclusion threshold based, at least partially, on the second overlap.

32 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein means are further configured for:
determining the second carrier frequency associated with the second transmission; determining a third overlap, in frequency, between the reserved resource and the second carrier frequency; and determining the resource exclusion threshold based, at least partially, on the third overlap.

33 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the means are further configured for:
determining a second image frequency associated with the at least one candidate resource based, at least partially, on the second carrier frequency associated with the second transmission; determining a fourth overlap, in frequency, between the reserved resource and the second image frequency; and determining the resource exclusion threshold based, at least partially, on the fourth overlap.

34 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the means configured for determining the received signal strength associated with the reserved resource for the first transmission comprises means configured for:
measuring the received signal strength on at least one signal received from a source user equipment, wherein the first transmission comprises a transmission from the source user equipment.

35 . The apparatus of claim 34 , wherein the measurement is performed using a beam to be used for receiving the second transmission.

36 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the means configured for determining the received signal strength associated with the reserved resource for the first transmission comprises means configured for:
measuring the received signal strength on at least one signal received from at least one destination user equipment, wherein the first transmission is directed towards the at least one destination user equipment.

37 . The apparatus of claim 36 , wherein the measurement is performed using a beam to be used for transmitting the second transmission.

38 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the means are further configured for:
determining a second received signal strength by measuring on at least one signal received from a source user equipment, wherein the second transmission comprises a transmission from the source user equipment; and determining the resource exclusion threshold further based on the second received signal strength.

39 . The apparatus of claim 38 , wherein the measurement is performed using a beam to be used for receiving the second transmission.

40 . The apparatus of claim 38 , wherein the resource exclusion threshold increases as the second received signal strength increases.

41 . The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the resource exclusion threshold is further based on at least one of:
a priority of the first transmission, or a priority of the second transmission.

42 . The apparatus of claim 41 , wherein the resource exclusion threshold decreases as a difference between the priority of the first transmission and the priority of the second transmission increases.

43 . apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the means are further configured for:
determining a ratio between a number of candidate resources remaining in the set of candidate resources after excluding the at least one candidate resource and an initial number of candidate resources in the set of candidate resources; and increasing the resource exclusion threshold in response to the determined ratio being less than a configured minimum ratio.

44 . A method comprising:
determining, with a user equipment, a reserved resource for a first transmission and a received signal strength associated with the reserved resource; determining, from a set of candidate resources for a second transmission, at least one candidate resource, wherein the at least one candidate resource at least partially overlaps in time with the reserved resource, wherein the at least one candidate resource does not overlap in frequency with the reserved resource; determining a relative location, in frequency, of the at least one candidate resource with respect to at least one of:
the reserved resource,
a first carrier frequency associated with the first transmission, or
a second carrier frequency associated with the second transmission; and
excluding the at least one candidate resource from the set of candidate resources for the second transmission in response to the received signal strength, associated with the reserved resource, being above a resource exclusion threshold, wherein the resource exclusion threshold is based, at least partially, on the relative location of the at least one candidate resource.

45 . An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: determine a reserved resource for a first transmission and a received s
