1. A method of wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
generating a packet for transmission over a sidelink resource pool;
receiving, from a second UE, a report indicative of a first set of available sidelink resources of the sidelink resource pool;
monitoring a first sidelink control information (SCI) message in a sensing window;
estimating a first signal strength associated with the first SCI message;
determining, at the first UE, a second set of available sidelink resources of the sidelink resource pool based at least in part on the first signal strength;
determining a set of sidelink resources based on a resource selection procedure, the resource selection procedure comprising performing an AND-combining operation between the first set of available sidelink resources of the sidelink resource pool and the second set of available sidelink resources of the sidelink resource pool; and
transmitting the packet on the set of sidelink resources of the sidelink resource pool.
