A first UE may select, based on a resource pool configuration for a sidelink communication, at least one of a first slot in time or a second slot in time of a plurality of slots. The plurality of slots may be associated with DMRS bundling. The first UE may configure, based on the DMRS bundling, at least one of one or more symbols in the first slot in time from a gap symbol to a non-gap symbol or one or more symbols in the second slot in time from an AGC symbol to a non-AGC symbol. The first UE may transmit, to a second UE, an indication of the configuration of the at least one of the one or more symbols in the first slot in time or the one or more symbols in the second slot in time.
