    Abstract: A repeater configured to receive, on a side control channel from a component of a network, side control information including parameters at least for determining time domain resources on which to apply an indicated beam for uplink (UL) transmission reception or downlink (DL) transmission forwarding with a user equipment (UE) on an access link, determine, from the received parameters, whether to apply the indicated beam to a transmission (Tx) spatial filter, a reception (Rx) spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters and apply the indicated beam to the determined Tx spatial filter, Rx spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters for the determined time domain resources when forwarding the DL transmission to the UE or receiving the UL transmission from the UE for forwarding to the network.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for a network-controlled repeater (NCR) to share power during the simultaneous transmission of a control link and backhaul link. When the total power for transmitting via the control link and the backhaul link are below a maximum power for transmission, the NCR can use the calculated transmission powers for transmitting each link. Otherwise, the NCR can apply a relative priority to the links, a default priority to each link, a stepwise reduction of power, or a power sharing factor. A power sharing technique can be based on whether there is overlap between the links on the same time symbol, where the same or different beams are used for each link, and/or whether a priority flag for an access link is being used. These and many other features and examples are described.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform channel estimation. The UE operates in a current channel estimation mode comprising either one of a first mode or a second mode, wherein the first mode comprises receiving first reference signals (RS) having a first RS overhead and wherein the second mode comprises receiving second reference signals (RS) having a second RS overhead, receives a network indication to switch from the current channel estimation mode to a new channel estimation mode comprising the other one of the first mode or second mode, transmits an acknowledgment to the network that the network indication was received and switches from the current channel estimation mode to the new channel estimation mode in accordance with the network indication.
