1. A method for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a directional indication associated with a set of data packets that are to be transmitted in one or more communications to one or more other UEs;
determining two or more directional traffic flows associated with two or more beams of the first UE based at least in part on the directional indication associated with the set of data packets, the two or more directional traffic flows including at least a first directional traffic flow and a second directional traffic flow;
setting a first set of quality of service (QoS) parameters for the first directional traffic flow and a second set of QoS parameters for the second directional traffic flow based at least in part on the directional indication associated with the set of data packets; and
duplicating the set of data packets for each of the two or more directional traffic flows; and
transmitting the set of data packets on each of the first directional traffic flow and the second directional traffic flow, wherein each directional traffic flow of the two or more directional traffic flows are independently processed according to the respective set of QoS parameters of the associated directional traffic flow.
