1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a transceiver;
a memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive, for a user equipment (UE), a threshold data rate supported by the UE;
allocate, for the UE, a set of sidelink resources configured for receiving, by the UE, sidelink communications from one or more other UEs;
allocate, for the UE, a set of downlink resources configured for receiving, by the UE, downlink communications, wherein the set of sidelink resources overlap the set of downlink resources at least in a time domain;
compute, based on determining maximum values for each of one or more downlink parameters and one or more sidelink parameters, an expected maximum data rate;
determine, based on comparing the expected maximum data rate to the threshold data rate, one or more values for the one or more downlink parameters for transmitting downlink communications to the UE; and
transmit, to the UE and based on the one or more values for the one or more downlink parameters, at least a downlink resource grant indicating the set of downlink resources.
