1. A method for a user equipment (UE), to prioritize between using a time resource for physical sidelink (SL) feedback channel (PSFCH) transmission by the UE and PSFCH reception at the UE, the method comprising:
determining that the PSFCH transmission and the PSFCH reception are scheduled to occur during the time resource;
determining to perform one of the PSFCH transmission and the PSFCH reception during the time resource according to a plurality of rules, wherein the plurality of rules comprises:
a distance rule that selects one of the PSFCH transmission and the PSFCH reception for performance when a PSFCH message of the one of the PSFCH transmission and the PSFCH reception are between the UE and a peer UE which is a long distance from the UE and all PSFCH messages of the other of the PSFCH transmission and the PSFCH reception are between the UE and a peer UE which is not a long distance from the UE; and
a second rule that is used to select one of the PSFCH transmission and the PSFCH reception for performance when PFSCH messages of the PSFCH transmission and PFSCH messages of the PSFCH reception are all between the UE and the peer UE that is not a long distance from the UE; and
performing the one of the PSFCH transmission and the PSFCH reception during the time resource according to the determination.
