1. A first user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
receive, from a network entity, an indication of multiple transmission occasions for a transmission of a sidelink communication in an unlicensed spectrum; and
transmit, to a second UE, the sidelink communication in a selected transmission occasion of the multiple transmission occasions for the transmission of the sidelink communication in the unlicensed spectrum,
wherein the multiple transmission occasions for the transmission of the sidelink communication include a plurality of transmission occasions at at least one of different times or different frequencies, and
wherein the indication indicates:
a time and frequency resource for a first transmission occasion of the multiple transmission occasions,
at least one of a time gap between consecutive transmission occasions of the multiple transmission occasions or a frequency offset between adjacent transmission occasions of the multiple transmission occasions, and
a number of transmission occasions of the multiple transmission occasions.
