1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first encoder, comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the first encoder to:
receive, from a user equipment (UE), a sidelink transport block (TB) for network coding;
receive, from a network entity, a network coding handover request based on a movement of the UE from a first zone to a second zone;
generate a sidelink network coding transport block (NC TB) based on the received sidelink TB and a second sidelink TB; and
transmit, to a second encoder, the generated sidelink NC TB based on the received network coding handover request.
 
9. An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the network entity to:
obtain, from a first device, a first message that includes a first location information associated with a first user equipment (UE) in sidelink communication with a first encoder associated with a first zone; and
transmit, in response to the first location information that indicates a movement of the first UE from the first zone to a second zone, at least one of:
a first network coding handover request to the first encoder, wherein the first network coding handover request includes a first indication to transmit, to a second encoder in the second zone, a sidelink network coding transport block (NC TB) based on a first sidelink transport block (TB) associated with the first UE and a second sidelink TB associated with a second UE, or
a second network coding handover request to the second encoder in the second zone, wherein the second network coding handover request includes a second indication to generate the sidelink NC TB based on the first sidelink TB associated with the first UE and the second sidelink TB associated with the second UE.
 
16. An apparatus for wireless communication at a second encoder, the apparatus comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the second encoder to:
receive, from a network entity, a network coding handover request;
receive, from a first encoder, one of:
a sidelink network coding transport block (NC TB) based on a first sidelink transport block (TB) associated with a first user equipment (UE) and a second sidelink TB associated with a second UE or the first sidelink TB associated with the first UE, or
the first sidelink TB, wherein the sidelink NC TB is generated at the second encoder in response to reception of the first sidelink TB; and
transmit, to a UE the sidelink NC TB based on the network coding handover request.
 
29. An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the network entity to:
output, to a second encoder, a first network coding handover request for the second encoder to communicate a sidelink network coding transport block (NC TB) to a third user equipment (UE), wherein the sidelink NC TB is based on a first sidelink transport block (TB) associated with a first UE and a second sidelink TB associated with a second UE; and
output, to the second encoder, a first grant to transmit the sidelink NC TB on a first sidelink resource.
