1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive, from a base station, a grant for time-frequency resources for transmitting to a second UE, the grant including information indicating at least one of a first subset of beams of a set of beams for which the grant does not apply or a second subset of beams of the set of beams for which the grant applies with a constrained transmission power; and
transmit, to the second UE, a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through at least one beam in the set of beams excluding the first subset of beams based on the received grant, or through at least one beam of the second subset of beams with the constrained transmission power based on the received grant.
