1. A transmitting user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, comprising a processing system that includes one or more processors and one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors, the processing system being configured to cause the transmitting UE to:
determine that (1) a first scheduled sidelink transmission from the transmitting UE to a first receiving UE on a first set of component carriers and (2) a second scheduled sidelink transmission from the transmitting UE to a second receiving UE on a second set of component carriers will overlap in a time domain, wherein the first scheduled sidelink transmission has a first transmission time length and the second scheduled sidelink transmission has a second transmission time length, wherein the second transmission time length is shorter than the first transmission time length, and wherein the first set of component carriers and the second set of component carriers are different; and
in response to the determination that the first scheduled sidelink transmission and the second scheduled sidelink transmission will overlap, reschedule the second scheduled sidelink transmission so that the second scheduled sidelink transmission does not overlap in the time domain with the first scheduled sidelink transmission.
