8. A method comprising:
monitoring a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for a first sidelink resource associated with a first set of carriers to determine a first resource usage parameter for the first sidelink resource;
receiving, from a second WTRU, a second resource usage parameter for a second sidelink resource, wherein the second sidelink resource is associated with a second set of carriers, and the second sidelink resource is associated with the second WTRU, and wherein the first set of carriers is different from the second set of carriers;
performing a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement based on one or more of the first sidelink resource and the second sidelink resource;
assigning respective weights to the first sidelink resource and the second sidelink resource based on the RSRP measurement;
generating an aggregated carrier usage report based on the respective weights respectively applied to the first resource usage parameter for the monitored first sidelink resource associated with the first set of carriers and to the second resource usage parameter for the second sidelink resource associated with the second set of carriers; and
transmitting the generated aggregated carrier usage report.
