Claim 18:
19. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
detect that the sidelink connection quality level has increased;
determine whether the increased sidelink connection quality level is sufficient to transmit a first version of a second segment of the media encoded at the first quality level;
in response to determining that the increased sidelink connection quality level is sufficient to transmit the first version of the second segment:
cause retrieval, using the transceiver circuitry, from the content source, of the first version of the second segment;
store the first version of the second segment in the cache of at least one device of the plurality of devices; and
cause transmission, using the transceiver circuitry, in response to a request from the first device, via the sidelink connection, for the second segment, of the first version of the second segment to the first device.
