Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling comprising an indication of a format for a channel state information report indicating channel state information for a sidelink channel between the first UE and a second UE. The first UE may determine the channel state information for the sidelink channel between the first UE and the second UE. The first UE may configure a layer one uplink control message to indicate the channel state information report according to the format. The first UE may transmit, based at least in part on the format, the layer one uplink control message to a base station indicating the channel state information report.
