1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a cooperative user equipment (CUE) from a base station, configuration information comprising an indication of resources for a sidelink (SL) transmission, a redundancy parameter for the SL transmission, and an identification of a target user equipment (TUE) that the CUE is to aid by forwarding, via the SL transmission, a packet intended for the TUE;
receiving, by the CUE, the packet from the base station and intended for the TUE, wherein the packet comprises the identification of the TUE with the packet in a higher layer data portion of the packet; and
forwarding, by the CUE, the packet intended for the TUE, along with sidelink control information (SCI) for further configuring the SL transmission of the packet.
