1. An apparatus for communication at a first network coding device, comprising:
memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a transport block (TB) associated with a networking coding request from a user equipment (UE);
transmit, based on at least one of first movement information of the UE, second movement information of one or more recipients of the TB, or a TB load of the first network coding device being above a threshold, a handover request message to a network entity, wherein the handover request message being for a handover of the TB to a second network coding device, and
receive a response message from the network entity, wherein the response message is in response to the handover request message and comprises, based on at least one information request in the handover request message, one or more of: an encoder identifier (ID) associated with the second network coding device, an indication of whether the second network coding device buffered the TB, one or more buffer sizes and TB loads associated with the one or more network coding devices including the second network coding device, a location of the one or more recipients of the TB, or a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) or a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) for the second network coding device to conduct network coding on the TB.
