Claim 44:
45. The system of claim 44, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
in response to determining that the sidelink connection quality level is not sufficient to receive the second segment:
determine whether the second segment is currently stored in a cache of a third device of the plurality of devices;
determine whether a second sidelink connection quality level between the first device and the third device is sufficient to receive the second segment; and
in response to determining that the second segment is currently stored in the cache of the third device and that the second sidelink connection quality level is sufficient to receive the second segment, transmit, using the transceiver circuitry, to the third device, via the sidelink connection, a request for the second segment.
