1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
sending a request from a transmitting user device to a second user device for communication resource recommendations based on a resource setting, wherein the communication resource recommendations include preferred and/or non-preferred communications resources for sidelink transmissions from the transmitting user device to a receiving user device and wherein the resource setting comprises a number of the preferred communication resources;
receiving the requested communication resource recommendations at the transmitting user device in accordance with the resource setting, wherein the communication resource recommendations are based on conditions as detected at the second user device; and
adjusting the resource setting, based, at least in part, on conditions as detected at the transmitting user device,
wherein the adjusting the resource setting comprises adjusting the number of the preferred communication resources based, at least in part, on overlap of the preferred or non-preferred communications resources of the transmitting user device with the received communication resource recommendations received from the second user device.
