1. A first user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, the first UE comprising:
a processing system including one or more processors and one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, the processing system configured to:
communicate an indication associated with selection of a second UE as a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration manager of a group of UEs that includes the first UE and one or more UEs;
transmit, to the second UE, a request for a sidelink DRX configuration of the first UE for sidelink communication between the first UE and the one or more UEs, wherein the one or more UEs are distinct from the first UE, and wherein the one or more UEs include at least a third UE that is distinct from the second UE;
receive, from the second UE based on the request, a message indicating one or more parameters associated with the sidelink DRX configuration; and
transmit, to the second UE based on the message, a response indicating one of acceptance of or rejection of at least one parameter of the one or more parameters.
