According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining transport block sizes for sidelink communications. In one example, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment includes determining, based on an initial allocation of physical resource blocks (PRBs) in one or more sub-channels that are non-overlapping with a guard band within a resource pool for a sidelink communication, that an occupied channel bandwidth (OCB) threshold is not met for the sidelink communication; allocating one or more additional PRBs from the resource pool to the sidelink communication in order to meet the OCB threshold, wherein the one or more additional PRBs comprise at least one of: all partial sub-channel PRBs in a sub-channel of the resource pool partially overlapped by the guard band; or all boundary PRBs within the resource pool, but not allocated to a sub-channel of the resource pool."

The patent application was internationally filed on Apr. 17, 2023, under International application No.PCT/CN2023/088609.
