Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium provide sidelink beam alignment between devices. In the context of a method performed by a first user equipment (UE), the first UE causes transmission of a first plurality of reference signals to a second UE to facilitate selection of a first preferred beam among a plurality of beams of the second UE. The method also receives a second plurality of reference signals from the second UE using a plurality of beams of the first UE. The method further includes selecting a second preferred beam from the plurality of beams of the first UE based on the second plurality of reference signals.
