BEAM PAIR DETERMINATION FOR THE FORWARD LINK OF NETWORK-CONTROLLED REPEATER

A repeater device receives a first configuration that associates reference signal (RS) resources and receive/transmit (Rx/Tx) beam pairs configurable at the repeater device for repeating one of: (i) a downlink (DL) radio frequency (RF) signal received on a backhaul link from the base station to a user equipment (UE) over an access link; and (ii) an uplink (UL) RF signal from the UE to the base station. The device: receives a second configuration for measuring and reporting self-interference of a first list of the RS resources; configures the repeater device with Rx/Tx beam pairs identified in the first list of RS resources; measures self-interference received on an Rx beam of first Rx/Tx beam pairs; and generates and forwards, to the base station, a self-interference measurement report comprising a second list of Rx/Tx beam pairs from the first list of Rx/Tx beam pairs that cause self-interference above a threshold value.
