1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
determining, by a first user equipment (UE), a channel occupancy time (COT) in a shared radio frequency band for communicating a sidelink communication with a second UE, wherein the determining is based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure associated with a channel access priority class (CAPC); and
transmitting, by the first UE to the second UE, the sidelink communication using first resources comprising a first frequency interlace in the COT, the sidelink communication comprising at least sidelink control information (SCI), wherein:
the SCI comprises COT sharing information for second resources in the COT and information indicating the CAPC;
the second resources comprise a plurality of frequency interlaces including a second frequency interlace different from the first frequency interlace; and
the COT sharing information comprises an indicator indicating the plurality of frequency interlaces including the second frequency interlace are available to the second UE for sharing the COT.
