1. A method of wireless communication performed by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a configuration providing an indication that a joint buffer status report (BSR) is to be used for buffer status reporting for a sidelink between the first UE and a second UE and a link between the first UE and a network node;
generating the joint BSR based at least in part on the configuration,
wherein the joint BSR includes buffer reporting information for one or more logical channels on the sidelink between the first UE and the second UE and buffer reporting information for one or more logical channels on the link between the first UE and the network node; and
transmitting the joint BSR to the network node,
wherein the joint BSR includes a field indicating an entry of the joint BSR that includes the buffer reporting information for the one or more logical channels on the sidelink.
