Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for sidelink control information forwarding for sensing procedure are disclosed herein. An example method of wireless communication at a forwarding user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a forwarded UE, control information, and transmitting, to a sensing UE, a forward message including the control information and information associated with the forwarded UE. An example method of wireless communication at the sensing UE includes receiving, from the forwarding UE, a forward message including the control information containing a first measurement of the control information. The example method also includes obtaining a second measurement of the forward message and determining a ratio of the second measurement to the first measurement. The example method also includes selecting a specific resource based on the ratio and whether the forwarding UE is an intended receiver for the sensing UE or the forwarding UE intends to receive from the forwarded UE.
