Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enhanced resource reservation for sidelink communication. A method that may be performed by a transmitter user equipment (UE) includes transmitting a transport block (TB) in a first slot of a current reservation period, wherein the transmission of the TB reserves a future resource in the current reservation period for retransmission of the TB, indicating, when transmitting the TB, a period to periodically reserve one or more resources, in one or more future reservation periods, for transmissions of one or more other TBs, and taking action to limit or release a number of the one or more resources periodically reserved in the one or more future reservation periods for the transmissions of the one or more other TBs.
