1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a first user equipment of user equipment of a wireless sidelink communication zone group in a long-range wireless communication network, a performance indicator criterion defined with respect to quality of service violation levels;
determining, by the first user equipment, a first performance metric corresponding to a first use of a first sidelink resource by the first user equipment;
analyzing the first performance metric with respect to the performance indicator criterion;
determining, based on the analyzing, a first quality of service violation level, of the violation levels, corresponding to the first use of the first sidelink resource by the first user equipment;
receiving, from a second user equipment of the wireless sidelink communication zone group, a quality of service violation level notification indicating a second quality of service violation level of the violation levels corresponding to a second use of a second sidelink resource by the second user equipment;
determining that the first quality of service violation level exceeds the second quality of service violation level;
responsive to the first quality of service violation level being determined to exceed the second quality of service violation level, processing, by the first user equipment, a portion of a first payload traffic flow using the second sidelink resource; and
transmitting, by the first user equipment, the second quality of service violation level notification during an active portion of a group-common sidelink discontinuous reception cycle that corresponds to the wireless sidelink communication zone group,
wherein a group-common sidelink discontinuous reception cycle configuration that corresponds to the group-common sidelink discontinuous reception cycle comprises service-specific scrambling codes associated with group-common sidelink discontinuous reception cycle resources that are service-specific, and wherein the service-specific scrambling codes are used to encode the second quality of service level notification.
