Aspects relate to techniques for enabling co-channel coexistence in different radio access technologies (RATs) for sidelink communication. A wireless communication device may be configured to receive at least one resource reservation message using a first RAT. For example, each resource reservation message may identify at least one resource of a plurality of resources of a sidelink channel for a respective sidelink transmission using the first RAT. The wireless communication device may further be configured to estimate a channel occupancy of the sidelink channel of a second RAT based on measurements obtained over a total number of the plurality of resources and the at least one resource reservation message.
