LBT procedure for sidelink operation in unlicensed bands

In order to facilitate an efficient LBT sidelink sensing process, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. An example method of a sidelink wireless device includes initiating an LBT sidelink sensing procedure, the initiating LBT sidelink sensing procedure including initiating an LBT timer to run in a channel for at least a minimum sensing duration. The example method also includes detecting one or more signals in the channel during the LBT sidelink sensing procedure. The example method also includes allowing the LBT timer to continue running. 为了促进有效的LBT侧链路感测过程，提供了方法、装置和计算机程序产品。侧链路无线设备的示例方法包括启动LBT侧链路感测过程，该启动LBT侧链路感测过程包括启动LBT定时器在信道中运行至少最小感测持续时间。该示例方法还包括在LBT侧链路感测过程期间检测信道中的一个或多个信号。该示例方法还包括允许LBT定时器继续运行。
