1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive, from each of multiple devices that communicate with the UE via one or more sidelink channels, information indicating a buffer status of the device; and
transmit, to a base station, a buffer status report (BSR) that indicates a combined sidelink buffer status for the multiple devices,
wherein the BSR is a preemptive BSR that includes an estimate of resource requirements for the multiple devices based on a predicted amount of data.
