Distributed control information for multiple party communications for 5g or other next generation network

Abstract

A distributed control information system for three party communications in a Vehicle to Everything (V2X) environment is disclosed. A first node can generate sidelink control information for a transmission between a second node and a third node. The first node can transmit the sidelink control information to the second node, and then the second node can transmit a portion of the sidelink control information relevant to the third node to the third node. In an embodiment, the first node can also send the third node portion of the sidelink control information to the third node directly, thus improving the reliability of the system. These transmissions can be performed via sidelink communications channels.
