1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory and computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
determine information related to a sidelink traffic load in a first set of resources, wherein the apparatus is configured with an indication of the first set of resources and an indication of a second set of resources;
determine the sidelink traffic load in the first set of resources based, at least partially, on the determined information;
compare the information related to the sidelink traffic load with at least one threshold, or receive a result of a comparison of the sidelink traffic load with the at least one threshold, wherein the comparing comprises comparing the information related to the sidelink traffic load with a combination of at least one traffic load offset value and the at least one threshold;
based on the determined sidelink traffic load and at least one of: a result of the comparing of the information related to the sidelink traffic load with the at least one threshold or the received result, determine a third set of resources for monitoring; and
monitor the third set of resources.
