Message handling for device-to-device coordination messages

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for dropping a first one or more device-to-device coordination messages, of a set of device-to-device coordination messages for transmission, according to a message dropping criterion in connection with a quantity of device-to-device coordination messages in the set of device-to-device coordination messages exceeding a threshold;
• and
• means for transmitting a second one or more device-to-device coordination messages of the set of device-to-device coordination messages, such that a quantity of transmitted device-to-device coordination messages, of the set of device-to-device coordination messages, does not exceed the threshold.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• dropping a first one or more device-to-device coordination messages, of a set of device-to-device coordination messages for transmission, according to a message dropping criterion in connection with a quantity of device-to-device coordination messages in the set of device-to-device coordination messages exceeding a threshold;
• and
• transmitting a second one or more device-to-device coordination messages of the set of device-to-device coordination messages, such that a quantity of transmitted device-to-device coordination messages, of the set of device-to-device coordination messages, does not exceed the threshold.
