A repeater system includes a first RF repeater device arranged in a first topology of a network of RF repeater devices, to communicate with one or more second RF repeater devices in the network of RF repeater devices to service one or more source nodes and destination nodes in a first wireless network. The first RF repeater device detects a change in at least one of a network condition in the first wireless network, networks configuration, or traffic demand. Based on the detected change, the first RF repeater device is controlled to be assigned to at least one of the first wireless network, a second wireless network, or be shared between the first wireless network and the second wireless network, where the second wireless network is one of fully overlapping the first wireless network, partially overlapping the first wireless network, or is an adjacent cell of the first wireless network.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a registration request for restricted access (RA), wherein the registration request selectively includes an onboarding access request. The UE may selectively communicate with an onboarding network to authenticate and authorize a particular network based at least in part on whether the registration request includes the onboarding access request. The UE may complete the RA registration after transmitting the registration request and based at least in part on selectively communicating with the onboarding network to authenticate and authorize the particular network. Numerous other aspects are described.

A method for performing a handover operation includes using one or more processors of a non-terrestrial node to initiate communication with a first terrestrial node of a network, the terrestrial node having a first unique node identifier and a cell identifier and store a mapping that associates the first unique node identifier with the cell identifier. The method also includes using the one or more processors to receive an indicator that the mapping is subject to change and update the mapping to associate a second unique node identifier of a second terrestrial node of the network with the cell identifier based on the received indicator.

A method is described that determines that a replacement node device has been connected to a mesh network, the replacement node device corresponding to an original node that has been removed from the mesh network. In response to determining that the replacement node device has been connected to the mesh network, network topology data is accessed that specifies one or more data routing configurations that are each associated with a node device included in the mesh network. From among the one or more data routing configurations specified by the network topology data, a particular data routing configuration is identified that is associated with the original node device that has been removed from the mesh network. Data that specifies the particular data routing configuration that is associated with the original node device that has been removed from the mesh network is provided to the replacement node device.

For relaying a route-discovery request in order to discover at least one route from a source node device to a destination node device in a communication network comprising other node devices able to act as relays between the source node device and the destination node device, at least one node device among said other node devices dynamically defines a waiting delay value to be applied before relaying the route-discovery request. More precisely, said at least one node device defines the waiting delay value according to a quality level of a link via which the route-discovery request was received.

A method and device for protecting a local area network including nodes allowing an extension of wireless communication coverage in order to increase the range of the local area network by coordinating a plurality of access points integrated in the nodes, the nodes being interconnected by a backhaul subnetwork, each node in the backhaul subnetwork transmitting at least one wireless network referred to as a fronthaul network, the method includes the steps of: detecting a connection of a station by a cable connection to a network switch included in the local area network, the network switch being connected to the backhaul subnetwork by a cable connection, establishing secure connections between each node if the connection of the station by a cable connection to the network switch is detected, managing the nodes of the network connected to the network switch with filtering rules applied to the data received by the nodes.
