Section: 16.9.3.3 UE Autonomous Resource Selection
Content: The UE autonomously selects sidelink resource(s) from resource pool(s) provided by broadcast system information or dedicated signalling while inside NG-RAN coverage or by pre-configuration while outside NG-RAN coverage. For NR sidelink communication, the resource pool(s) can be provided for a given validity area where the UE does not need to acquire a new pool of resources while moving within the validity area, at least when this pool is provided by SIB. The NR SIB area scope mechanism as specified in TS 38.331[ NR; Radio Resource Control (RRC); Protocol specification ]  [12] is reused to enable validity area for SL resource pool configured via broadcasted system information. The UE is allowed to temporarily use UE autonomous resource selection with random selection for sidelink transmission based on configuration of the exceptional transmission resource pool as specified in TS 38.331[ NR; Radio Resource Control (RRC); Protocol specification ]  [12].
