    Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a second UE and a wireless device and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured receive, from the second UE, an end-to-end (E2E) quality of service (QoS) requirement of an E2E connection between the second UE and the wireless device, wherein the E2E connection includes a first hop between the UE and the second UE and a second hop between the UE and the wireless device. The processor is further configured to obtain a first hop link condition and a second hop link condition; split the E2E QoS requirement into a first hop QoS requirement and a second hop QoS requirement based on the first hop link condition and the second hop link condition; and transmit, using the transceiver, the first hop QoS requirement to the second UE. The wireless device is a third UE or a base station.

    Abstract: Techniques for power savings by a wireless device. The technique including determining, by a first wireless device, a sidelink resources pool including a set of sidelink resources for communicating directly with a second wireless device; determining one or more reservation periods associated with resources of the sidelink resources pool; determining a number of sensing occasions based on the one or more reservation periods; sensing a wireless medium within the sidelink resources pool based on the determined number of sensing occasions and the determined one or more reservation periods; selecting a set of candidate resources from the sidelink resources pool based on the sensing; and transmitting data to the second wireless device based on the selected set of candidate resources.
