Claim 28:
29. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising: one or more processors; and the one or more processors, coupled to one or more memories, configured to: encode, for a first set of resource elements (REs), a first layer for sidelink control information; encode, for a second set of REs, a second layer for sidelink data, wherein the first set of REs and the second set of REs are associated with a same one or more symbols; and transmit, to another UE and based at least in part on applying superposition coded modulation (SCM) to the first layer and the second layer, the sidelink control information using the first set of REs and the sidelink data using the second set of REs, wherein the first set of REs include one or more REs that do not have SCM applied, and wherein the one or more REs are associated with at least one of: a sidelink channel state information (CSI) reference signal included in the sidelink data, a different modulation scheme for the sidelink data than a modulation scheme used for the second set of REs, or a different rate-matching value than a rate matching value used for the second set of REs, or a second stage sidelink control information (SCI-2) message.
