1. A method of a user equipment (UE) for prioritizing a subset of a plurality of pending physical sidelink (SL) feedback channel (PSFCH) transmissions, comprising:
determining that a number of the plurality of pending PSFCH transmissions is greater than a number of PSFCH transmissions that can be sent by the UE;
determining the subset of the plurality of pending PSFCH transmissions to transmit using a plurality of rules; and
transmitting the subset of the plurality of pending PSFCH transmissions;
wherein the plurality of rules comprises:
a distance rule that prioritizes PSFCH transmissions of the pending PSFCH transmissions for inclusion in the subset that correspond to data from a peer UE for which there is a long distance between the UE and the peer UE; and
a data priority rule that prioritizes PSFCH transmissions of the pending PSFCH transmissions for inclusion in the subset according to a priority of data to which the PSFCH transmissions correspond; and
wherein determining the subset of the plurality of pending PSFCH transmissions to transmit using the plurality of rules comprises applying the distance rule prior to applying the data priority rule.
