1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory comprising computer program code,
the at least one memory and computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to
configure one or more dual-mode sidelink (SL) logical channels (LCHs) to at least one user equipment (UE) to enable simultaneous SL mode 1 and SL mode 2 transmission;
configure the dual-mode SL LCHs with two sets of logical channel prioritization (LCP) configurations,
wherein one of the LCP configurations is for mode 1 operation and another of LCP configurations is for mode 2 operation,
wherein the LCP configuration for mode 1 indicates how the data from the dual-mode SL LCHs should be multiplexed with the data from the other SL LCHs by using the mode 1 resource, and
wherein the LCP configuration for mode 2 indicates a policy regarding how the data from the dual-mode SL LCHs should be multiplexed with the data from the other SL LCHs by using the mode-2 resource;
receive, from the at least one UE, at least one SL buffer status report (BSR) optionally comprising buffer status for one or more of the configured dual-mode LCHs according to a network configuration; and
transmit, to the at least one UE, a resource allocation that can be applied for the dual-mode LCHs according to the network configuration.
