SL-RNTI

Sidelink RNTI

RNTI used by the gNodeB to schedule direct vehicle-to-vehicle V2X transmissions on the PC5 interface.

Technical Explanation

In C-V2X Sidelink Mode 1, the gNodeB controls sidelink allocations. The UE monitors PDCCH using its assigned SL-RNTI for DCI Format 3_0, which specifies the time-frequency resources and MCS to use for direct transmission on PSCCH and PSSCH.

Key Functions

  • Allocated to vehicles operating in network-scheduled Sidelink Mode 1
  • Scrambles DCI Format 3_0 providing PC5 sidelink transmission grants
  • Enables base station coordination of automotive safety traffic
