1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors configured to:
determine whether a sidelink to another UE is inactive based at least in part on a prediction by the UE of whether there will be no more communications on the sidelink for a time duration, the prediction being based at least in part on a traffic pattern on the sidelink for a time of day;
determine whether a quality of the sidelink satisfies a quality threshold;
determine whether an amount of unavailability of the sidelink satisfies an unavailability threshold; and
disable the sidelink based at least in part on at least two of:
a determination that the sidelink is inactive,
a determination that the quality of the sidelink fails to satisfy a quality threshold, or
a determination that the amount of unavailability of the sidelink satisfies the unavailability threshold.
