What is Sidelink UE Information r12 in LTE?
It is the uplink LTE RRC message the UE uses to report sidelink-related information to the network.

Uplink LTE RRC message used by the UE to report sidelink-related information to the network.
Lets the network receive sidelink-related UE context so it can continue sidelink-aware handling.
Sidelink UE Information r12 is the LTE UE message used to report sidelink-related context to the network.
Call flow position: UE report sent when sidelink-related context must be exposed to the network.
Typical state: The network can use the report to continue sidelink-aware handling.
Preconditions:
Next likely message: Later sidelink-aware continuation
Call flow position: UE update sent when sidelink-related status changed or became relevant.
Typical state: The report helps the network understand the sidelink branch rather than ordinary LTE-only behavior.
Preconditions:
Next likely message: Connected-mode continuation or later reconfiguration
Previous message(s): RRCConnectionReconfiguration
Next message(s): Later sidelink-aware continuation
Security context: Sent as protected connected-mode signaling.

Read it as sidelink-related reporting rather than a normal mobility or broadcast message.

Presence: Required
In practice: In practice, compare this field with the original request and with any later release-dependent optional fields so you can see whether the network accepted the same service model the UE asked for.
Likely cause: The sidelink-related UE report may be missing or not reflected in later handling.
What to inspect: Check whether Sidelink UE Information r12 appears and what payload it carries.
Next step: Treat the issue as sidelink-related reporting rather than ordinary LTE-only control.
It is the uplink LTE RRC message the UE uses to report sidelink-related information to the network.
