As such, the first UE may determine a maximum size of the resource information forwarding message, and the first UE may generate and transmit the resource information forwarding message to the second UE in accordance with the determined maximum size.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for managing timing for inter-user equipment (UE) coordination to prevent or minimize interference or collisions between sidelink transmissions. A first UE may determine a time window in which to select sidelink resources for an inter-UE coordination message based on a minimum time configured for selecting the sidelink resources. The minimum time configured for selecting the sidelink resources for the inter-UE coordination message may be different from a minimum time configured for selecting sidelink resources for other sidelink messages. The first UE may then select the sidelink resources in the time window for the inter-UE coordination message and transmit the inter-UE coordination message on the selected sidelink resources to the second UE over a sidelink.
