Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus receives a safety message from a second UE. The received safety message includes a cluster indicator that indicates whether the received safety message is a first safety message type or a second safety message type. The first safety message type is associated with a single UE and the second safety message type is associated with multiple UEs. The apparatus determines whether the received safety message is the first safety message type or the second safety message type based on the cluster indicator included in the safety message. The apparatus determines whether a proximity condition between the apparatus and the second UE is satisfied based on the received safety message.
