Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining a relay capability configuration for using a control signal to schedule a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) that carries information to organize sidelink connections. The control signal allows user equipments (UEs) to organize a sidelink network absent base station configurations or vendor configurations. For example, the control signal may schedule a discovery signal (DS) associated with a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB). The control signal may be referred to as DS-physical sidelink control channel (DS-PSCCH), different from a normal PSCCH. The DS-PSCCH may have distinct structure and content to allow UEs to organize sidelink networks.
