Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions; and
one processor one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and, individually or in combination, configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
receive a configuration of multiple resource pools for sidelink communications, each resource pool defined by a different set of time domain resources;
receive at least two repetitions of a sidelink control information (SCI) on at least two of the multiple resource pools, each repetition of the SCI includes a same reservation for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) on a respective resource pool;
perform soft combining on the at least two repetitions of the SCI to determine resources for the PSSCH, wherein a first resource pool of the multiple resource pools overlaps with a second resource pool of the multiple resource pools on at least some overlapping resources wherein the reservation in the SCI on the overlapping resources indicates a PSSCH on the first resource pool and a PSSCH on the second resource pool or indicates whether a PSSCH is scheduled on the first resource pool or the second resource pool; and
decode the PSSCH based on the SCI.
