/Reservation Signal Forwarding Using 2-stage Sidelink Control Information (sci)
Abstract

The methods and systems discussed herein describe a first wireless communication device receiving reservation signals from two other wireless communication devices, each reservation signal identifying one or more time-slots reserved for data transmissions and a data priority level associated with the data transmissions. When the first wireless communication device determines that the reservation signals have at least one common identified time-slot, the first wireless communication device transmits a forwarded reservation signal, which identifies the time-slots reserved by the wireless communication device with the higher data priority level, to the wireless communication device with a lower data priority level. The wireless communication device that receives the forwarded reservation signal determines whether to transmit data during the time-slots identified in the forwarded reservation signal.
