13. A wireless communication device comprising:
a transceiver;
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the at least one processor and memory are configured to:
determine a type associated with a sidelink communication;
initialize a sequence generator with a seed, wherein the seed is determined based on the type associated with the sidelink communication, out of a plurality of seeds that are respectively based on a plurality of types of sidelink communication, the plurality of types of sidelink communication including a second stage sidelink control information (SCI) communication, a Phase-tracking Reference Signal (PTRS) communication, and a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) communication; and
utilize the sequence generator to facilitate transmitting at least a portion of the sidelink communication.
