1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, configuration information associated with a direct data transmission resource, the configuration information comprising information of a direct data allocation period for direct wireless communication between wireless devices;
determining, for the direct data allocation period, a direct data transmission resource offset and a duration associated with a direct data transmission resource bitmap, the direct data transmission resource bitmap comprising at least one bit having a bit value of 1;
determining, based on a length of the duration and based on a length of the direct data transmission resource bitmap, a quantity of repetition of the direct data transmission resource bitmap;
determining, based on the quantity of repetition of the direct data transmission resource bitmap, a pool of communication resources in the duration associated with the direct data transmission resource bitmap, the pool of communication resources corresponding to direct data transmission resources; and
transmitting, from the wireless device and based on the pool of communication resources, data to another wireless device, wherein the pool of communication resources is associated with the bit value of 1 of the direct data transmission resource bitmap and has a repetitive pattern in the duration associated with the direct data transmission resource bitmap.
