Abstract: A sidelink user equipment with traffic to transmit towards a destination user equipment determines a plan of multiple paths for delivering the traffic. Each path may comprise multiple user equipment and may carry different portions of the traffic or a duplicate of traffic that another path is carrying. A traffic delivery plan may be based on resource availability information received from the user equipment of the paths in response to a request for the resource availability information. A traffic delivery plan may comprise a ratio of splitting the traffic among the paths. A traffic delivery plan may be adapted to changing conditions, such as congestion, experienced by a user equipment of a path. Indication of a changed condition may be provided according to a configured periodicity or based on a configured criterion being met.
