NETWORK-ASSISTED TRANSMISSION MODE FOR VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE (V2V) COMMUNICATION

Technology for a base station operable to assist in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is disclosed. The base station can decode a plurality of reports received from a plurality of user equipments (UEs) that are configured for V2V communication (vUEs). The reports can include state information for the vUEs. The base station can aggregate the state information for the vUEs included in the plurality of reports to generate aggregated network state information. The base station can determine a network state for V2V communication using the aggregated network state information. The base station can select a transmission mode to be used by the plurality of vUEs when broadcasting V2V messages. The transmission mode can be selected based on the network state for V2V communication. The base station can signal the selected transmission mode for transmission to the plurality of vUEs.
