1. A method of wireless communication performed by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
sensing a plurality of resources in a sidelink resource pool within a shared radio frequency band, wherein the sensing comprises decoding Sidelink Control Information (SCI);
identifying a plurality of candidate resources based on the decoded SCI;
determining a duration of a channel-access gap preceding each of the plurality of candidate resources;
selecting at least a first resource from the plurality of candidate resources based on the duration of the channel-access gap preceding each of the plurality of candidate resources; and
transmitting, to a second UE using the selected first resource, one or more data blocks for a sidelink transmission.
