Various examples and schemes pertaining to New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) cluster management are described. An apparatus, implemented in a user equipment (UE) of a V2X cluster in an NR V2X communication environment, receives a scheduling request from a member of the V2X cluster. The apparatus transmits a resource grant to the member to allocate a resource of one or more resources to the member responsive to the receiving of the scheduling request. The one or more resources are either: (a) preconfigured by a wireless network, or (b) granted by the wireless network responsive to the UE transmitting a resource request to the wireless network upon receiving the scheduling request.
