1. A method for transmission of scheduling and control information for sidelink communications, the method comprising steps performed at a mobile device of:
receiving and decoding a first stage Sidelink Control Information (SCI) carrying scheduling information,
receiving a second stage SCI indicated by the first stage SCI, and
decoding the second stage SCI at an intended receiver,
wherein the second stage SCI uses lower order modulation including Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK),
wherein the coded bits of the second stage SCI are mapped from a lowest physical resource block (PRB) locations in the scheduled resource for Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH), and
wherein a modulation and coding scheme for the second stage SCI is indicated in the first stage SCI as a row index for a mapping table comprising modulation and coding schemes values for the second stage SCI.
