transmits data and first information indicating relay information corresponding to retransmission of the data by a relay user equipment to at least one user equipment, wherein the at least one user equipment is within a predetermine group of user equipments or outside of the predetermined group of user equipments, the first information comprises a relay identifier, an indication that retransmission of the data is based on feedback received by the relay user equipment, an indication that retransmission of the data is based on a multi-hop count, an indication for the relay user equipment to transfer the data from a receiver buffer to a transmit buffer and to retransmit the data from the transmit buffer, an indication for the relay user equipment to retransmit the data to an indicated destination node, or some combination thereof; and
transmits second information indicating a remaining packet delay budget to the at least one user equipment, wherein the at least one user equipment uses the first information and the remaining packet delay budget for scheduling retransmission of the data.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the transmitter transmits third information indicating resource reservation information for the at least one user equipment to retransmit the data, and the resource reservation information comprises periodic resource reservation information.
11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the transmitter transmits scheduling assistance information comprising user equipment assistance information indicating a traffic arrival rate for periodic traffic.
12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the transmitter transmits third information comprising a destination group identifier, and the third information is used to determine whether the data is to be processed internally, whether the data is to be retransmitted, or a combination thereof.
13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the transmitter transmits third information comprising zones corresponding to the data, a minimum communication range, a remaining hop count, or some combination thereof.
14. A method comprising:
receiving, by at least one user equipment, data and first information indicating relay information corresponding to retransmission of the data by a relay user equipment, wherein the at least one user equipment is within a predetermine group of user equipments or outside of the predetermined group of user equipments, the first information comprises a relay identifier, an indication that retransmission of the data is based on feedback received by the relay user equipment, an indication that retransmission of the data is based on a multi-hop count, an indication for the relay user equipment to transfer the data from a receiver buffer to a transmit buffer and to retransmit the data from the transmit buffer, an indication for the relay user equipment to retransmit the data to an indicated destination node, or some combination thereof; and
receiving, by the at least one user equipment, second information indicating a remaining packet delay budget, wherein the at least one user equipment uses the first information and the remaining packet delay budget for scheduling retransmission of the data.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first information and the second information are part of sidelink control information.
