    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support power saving of wireless repeaters. Generally, the described techniques provide for wireless device (e.g., wireless repeater, wireless relay device, etc.) power savings in the absence of an attached (e.g., connected) user equipment (UE). For example, a wireless repeater may operate in a power saving mode and monitor for control information from a base station according to a slow state (e.g., according to a relatively long monitoring periodicity). Upon detection of possible UE attachment to the base station (e.g., upon detection of a random access channel (RACH) message), the wireless repeater may transition to monitoring for control information from the base station according to a fast state (e.g., according to a relatively short, or more frequent, monitoring periodicity).

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which multiple different wireless resource configurations for a multiple-hop wireless network may be configured and selected to provide for efficient updates to resource configurations. A central entity may configure one or more other nodes of the network with a number of different wireless resource configurations for backhaul communications among the other nodes. A first node may receive the number of different wireless resource configurations, identify wireless resources associated with a first resource configuration that are allocated for backhaul communications, and communicate with a second node using the allocated resources. In the event that the first node determines that a different wireless resource configuration should be used for communications with the second node, the first node may select a second resource configuration from the number of different wireless resource configurations for further communications with the second node.

    Abstract: The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support modem control using millimeter wave (mmW) energy measurement. Generally, the described techniques provide for wireless device (e.g., wireless repeater) power savings in the absence of an attached (e.g., connected) user equipment (UE). For example, a wireless repeater may perform relay operations (e.g., amplification and forwarding operations) for communications between a base station and a UE in some channel (e.g., in a mmW channel). The wireless repeater may use energy measurements in the channel (e.g., analog mmW measurements) to control or configure a digital interface for monitoring out of band control information (e.g., in a sub-6 gigahertz (GHz) channel). For example, a wireless repeater may use energy measurements of signals transmitted by devices in a mmW band to configure (e.g., turn on) a digital interface of another modem to monitor for control information in a sub-6 GHz band.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for resource allocation in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network. A relay node in an IAB network may be assigned a first resource partition that is different from a second resource partition for the child and parent nodes. Based on a resource configuration (e.g., for a slot) of the second resource partition, the relay node may opportunistically utilize the second resource partition for communications. For instance, the relay node may determine a direction table based on the resource configurations of the child and parent nodes, which may be used to perform uplink or downlink communications in one or more symbols of the second resource partition. The relay node may also identify flexible symbols as free or non-free when determining the direction table.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A parent wireless node may determine that low latency communications having a latency below a threshold are to be performed with a child wireless node. The parent wireless node may modify, by at least one of the first communication link interface of the parent wireless node, or a second communication link interface of the parent wireless node that is different from the first communication link interface, or a combination thereof, a previously configured resource type for the first communication link interface based at least in part on the low latency communications. The parent wireless node may transmit, from the first communication link interface of the parent wireless node, a grant to the child wireless node indicating that the low latency communications are to be performed.
