1. An apparatus configured to be employed in a networked device or user equipment (UE) for new radio (NR) sidelink communication, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
process a downlink control information (DCI) to enable the NR sidelink communication based on one or more sidelink configured grants; and
determine whether to configure at least one of: an activation operation, a release operation, or a retransmission operation, of the one or more sidelink configured grants based on a DCI format 3_0 configuration of the DCI for the NR sidelink communication and one or more fields of the DCI format 3_0 configuration.
