Abstract
The methods, devices, and systems discussed herein utilize a 2-stage Sidelink Control Information (SCI) design when a forwarding user equipment device (UE) forwards the time-frequency location of communication resources that (1) have been reserved by another UE, or (2) are available for the receiving UE to use for device-to-device (D2D) data transmissions. In some examples, the 1st and 2nd stages of the SCI are required to decode the data channel. In these examples, part of the SCI is in the 1st stage, and the remaining part is in the 2nd stage. Thus, a UE that receives the 2-stage SCI decodes the 1st stage for sensing whether the associated data channel is being used. The 2nd stage has the remaining relevant SCI required to demodulate and decode the same associated data channel.
