1. A method of wireless communication performed by an apparatus of a network entity, comprising:
scheduling first transmissions for a first user equipment (UE) that is associated with a first channel occupancy time (COT) and a second UE that is associated with a second COT,
wherein the first COT at least partially overlaps with the second COT,
wherein the first COT and the second COT include shared COTs,
wherein one or more first downlink transmissions, of the first transmissions, for the first UE and the second UE are scheduled, by the apparatus of the network entity, in a first time interval when the first COT overlaps with the second COT, and
wherein one or more second downlink transmissions, of the first transmissions, for the first UE are scheduled, by the apparatus of the network entity, after the first time interval, in a second time interval when the second COT has elapsed and the first COT continues;
scheduling second transmissions based on the second COT being shorter than the first COT,
wherein the second COT is shorter than the first COT based on an uplink transmission of the second UE, and
wherein the uplink transmission of the second UE continues during a pause after an endpoint of an uplink transmission of the first UE; and
outputting the first transmissions and the second transmissions.
