Claim 27:
28. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
at least one processor, and
at least one memory coupled with the at least one processor, with instructions stored in the at least one memory, the instructions being executable by the at least one processor, individually or collectively, to cause the apparatus to:
receive, as part of a broadcast from a network node, a first subset of one or more network encoded packets;
decode the first subset of one or more network encoded packets as a first subset of one or more successfully decoded packets;
receive, via a plurality of sidelink connections with a corresponding plurality of UEs, a second subset of one or more successfully decoded packets forwarded after successful receipt and decoding by the plurality of UEs from the network node;
determine, based on the first subset of one or more successfully decoded packets and the second subset of one or more successfully decoded packets, a combined set of one or more successfully decoded packets from the network node; and
transmit feedback to the network node, wherein the feedback indicates a combination of the first subset of one or more successfully decoded packets and the second subset of one or more successfully decoded packets.
