Claim 19:
20. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver, a memory, and at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that are executable by the at least one processor, individually or in any combination, to cause the UE to:
sense an interference level of at least one frequency;
select, based on the interference level, a frequency sub-channel for a first stage sidelink control information (SCI-1); and
communicate the SCI-1 in the selected frequency sub-channel; and
communicate, using a selected number of consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, a second stage sidelink control information (SCI-2) in the selected frequency sub-channel, wherein the consecutive OFDM symbols overlap in time with the SCI-1, and wherein the selected number of consecutive OFDM symbols is based on the selected frequency sub-channel.
