A transmission characteristic may include, for example, a maximum transmit power, a set of supported modulation and coding schemes (MCS), a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) configuration (e.g., for repetitions, acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) feedback, and/or the like), a carrier aggregation configuration, a transmission diversity characteristic (e.g., for time hopping, frequency hopping, repetitions, and/or the like), and/or the like.
As shown by reference number 420, the Tx UE 405 may determine a slice identifier based at least in part on the service type. The slice identifier may indicate a slice type, and/or may correspond to a resource allocation to be used for the one or more D2D communications. Additionally, or alternatively, the slice identifier may indicate a sub-slice type if a particular service type has multiple sub-service types. For example, a platooning service type may have sub-service types of basic platooning and advanced platooning, which may be associated with different requirements. Additionally, or alternatively, the slice identifier may indicate a slice instance if the service type could be associated with multiple slices (e.g., to subdivide resources for different Tx UEs 405). For example, different slice instances can be assigned to different platoon groups based on the platoon leaders' identities.
