1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment, comprising at least one processor, of multiple user equipment of a wireless sidelink communication zone group authorized to connect to network service via a long-range communication network, semi-static sidelink data resource configuration information that is usable to configure the user equipment to obtain data using at least one semi-static sidelink data resource;
storing, by the user equipment, the semi-static sidelink data resource configuration information for use in obtaining the data;
receiving, by the user equipment, sidelink search space configuration information that is usable to configure the user equipment to search at least one sidelink search space;
monitoring, by the user equipment, the at least one sidelink search space according to the sidelink search space configuration information;
decoding, by the user equipment, the at least one sidelink search space according to the sidelink search space configuration information to result in at least one decoded sidelink search space;
determining, by the user equipment, that the at least one decoded sidelink search space comprises at least one semi-static sidelink data resource activation indication indicative that the at least one semi-static sidelink data resource comprises a portion of a payload traffic flow directed to the user equipment; and
responsive to the at least one semi-static sidelink data resource activation indication, performing, by the user equipment, a sidelink traffic operation comprising:
monitoring the at least one semi-static sidelink data resource according to the semi-static sidelink data resource configuration information,
decoding the at least one semi-static sidelink data resource according to the semi-static sidelink data resource configuration information to result in at least one decoded semi-static sidelink data resource,
retrieving the portion of payload traffic flow from the at least one decoded semi-static sidelink data resource, and
processing the portion of the payload traffic directed to the user equipment.
