Claim 15:
16. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising: encoding, for a first set of resource elements (REs), a first layer for sidelink control information; encoding, 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 transmitting, 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 at least one of: the first set of REs include one or more first REs that do not have SCM applied, and the one or more first REs are associated with carrying a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence for the sidelink data, or the second set of REs include one or more second REs that do not have SCM applied, and the one or more second REs are associated with one or more pilot REs, included in the first set of REs, that are associated with carrying a second DMRS sequence for the sidelink control information.
