Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a resource exclusion configuration for applying at least a first set of resource exclusion thresholds to a selection of sidelink resources for transmitting a sidelink communication, the first set of resource exclusion thresholds being based, at least in part, on one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) or an MCS index. The UE may transmit the sidelink communication in accordance with the resource exclusion configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.
