1. A method of wireless communication performed by a first sidelink user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS), an indicator indicating a set of start times and a subset of the set of start times associated with a transmission opportunity for a sidelink communication with a second UE;
performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for the transmission opportunity; and
transmitting, to the second UE, a communication starting at a randomly selected start time of the subset of the set of start times based on the LBT procedure being successful.
