    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a repeater may determine a forwarding direction for a set of resources based at least in part on time division duplexing (TDD) information associated with the set of resources. The forwarding direction may indicate a direction associated with forwarding signals carried in the set of resources. The repeater may receive a signal in the set of resources, the signal being provided by a first wireless communication device. The repeater may selectively forward the signal to a second wireless communication device based at least in part on the determined forwarding direction. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) system may perform contention window updates on an IAB node for different components of the IAB node. In some implementations, the IAB node may perform separate contention window updates in separate reference durations for the different components. Additionally or alternatively, the IAB node may perform a joint contention window update for the different components, where a single reference duration for updating contentions windows for the components may be defined for the IAB node that includes transmissions for both components. Additionally or alternatively, the IAB node may perform separate contention window updates for the different components based on the single reference duration that includes transmissions for both components, where feedback may be used separately to update corresponding contention windows.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. For example, the described techniques provide for a base station of a wireless communications system to determine a configuration for a repeating device to forward signals to another device. In some examples, the configuration may be based on a number of repeating devices in the wireless communications system. The base station may also transmit a message for the repeating device to forward. In some examples, based on a buffering capability of the repeating device, the base station may transmit the message with a zero time offset relative to the control signaling. The repeating device may receive and process the control signaling and receive and buffer the message. In response to processing the control signaling, the repeating device may transmit the buffered message to another device. Implementing aspects of present disclosure may enable an increased efficiency of forwarding in wireless communications systems.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless repeater may monitor for transmissions from multiple base stations. For example, a wireless repeater may communicate with a first base station and forward transmissions from the first base station to various user equipment (UEs). Such transmissions may include transmitting synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for the first base station. The first base station may instruct the wireless repeater to monitor for SSBs from other base stations, where the wireless repeater may indicate the monitoring results in a report to the first base station. Based on the report, the first base station may transmit an indication of a beam pattern to the wireless repeater. The wireless repeater may use the beam pattern for repeating transmissions of SSBs received from the first base station, SSBs received from the second base station, or any combination thereof.

    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, products, and methods for wireless communication. For example, a communication system may include a repeater having a first communication interface that receives a control message that indicates a measurement configuration for a second communication interface of the repeater that is different than the first communication interface. The repeater receives, via the second communication interface, a first signal at the repeater from a first device. The repeater also measures a power metric associated with the first signal based on the measurement configuration. In some implementations, a base station or another device (e.g., UE), may communicate with the repeater and take one or more actions based on the power metric measured by the repeater.
