transmitting, to a base station of a non-terrestrial network, a message requesting both an allocation of sidelink resources for the first wireless device to use to transmit to at least a second wireless device on a sidelink and an allocation of sidelink resources for at least the second wireless device to use to transmit to at least the first wireless device on the sidelink;
receiving, from the base station of the non-terrestrial network and in response to the transmitted request message, an indication of a first set of sidelink resources for the first wireless device;
transmitting one or more messages to at least the second wireless device on the first set of sidelink resources; and
receiving one or more messages from at least the second wireless device on a second set of sidelink resources.
