1. A method of wireless communication of a first sidelink device, comprising:
identifying a configuration of a bandwidth part (BWP) for sidelink communication, the BWP comprising at least a first resource pool including a first subset of frequency resources and a second resource pool including a second subset of the frequency resources;
transmitting an activation indication to a second sidelink device, the activation indication activating the second subset of the frequency resources of the second resource pool;
transmitting a sidelink transmission to the second sidelink device in the second subset of the frequency resources of the second resource pool;
initiating a timer after transmitting the sidelink transmission in the second subset of the frequency resources of the second resource pool; and
deactivating the second subset of the frequency resources of the second resource pool based on an expiration of the timer without sidelink traffic in the second resource pool.
