    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which RF-domain wireless routers may repeat, extend, or redirect beamformed wireless signals received from one or more transmitters to one or more receivers. The router may receive transmissions at a mmW frequency using a first array of antenna elements, and provide the transmissions to a beamforming network, such as a Butler matrix, that outputs one or more a signals to a switching network. The switching network may perform switching to provide the one or more signals to desired inputs of an output beamforming network that outputs beamformed transmission beams via a second array of antenna elements.

    Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at an integrated access and backhaul (TAB) node. The TAB node receives a first delay parameter and a second delay parameter associated with a packet, the first delay parameter being associated with a discard determination for the packet and the second delay parameter being associated with scheduling the packet for transmission. The TAB node performs a discard decision for the packet based on the first delay parameter associated or schedules the packet for transmission to a second TAB node or a user equipment (UE) using a second delay parameter associated with the packet. A central unit (CU) of an TAB network may indicate, to an TAB node, the second delay parameter for scheduling a packet and the first delay parameter for determining whether to discard the packet.

    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: A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes performing an access procedure to connect with a network comprising multiple wireless network nodes. The method also includes receiving a communication parameter message indicating multiple communication parameter sets based on performing the access procedure. Each communication parameter set may be associated with a single respective connection mode of multiple connection modes, and each connection mode may be associated with one or more respective wireless network nodes of the multiple wireless network nodes. The method also includes receiving signaling configuring the UE to use a connection mode of the multiple connection modes. The method further includes communicating with the one or more wireless network nodes of the multiple wireless network nodes, according to a communication parameter set associated with the connection mode, based on receiving the signaling. The one or more wireless network nodes may be associated with the connection mode.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for uplink resource management. For example, a method of wireless communication by a first communication device is provided including receiving, from a second communication device, a configuration allocating at least one uplink resource for use by the first communication device to transmit data on an uplink. The method further includes initiating preparing data for transmission on a first uplink resource of the at least one uplink resource prior to receiving an activation indication for the first uplink resource. The method further includes when the activation indication is received from the second communication device, transmitting uplink data on the first uplink resource to the second communication device. The method further includes when failing to receive the activation indication from the second communication device, refraining from transmitting uplink data on the first uplink resource.
