Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may receive, from a repeater having a first interface and a second interface, information associated with one or more capabilities of the repeater, the second interface being different from the first interface. The base station may determine an operation mode for the repeater based at least in part on the information associated with the one or more capabilities of the repeater, and may communicate with the repeater via the first interface or the second interface. In some aspects, a repeater may transmit, to a base station via a first interface, information associated with one or more capabilities of the repeater, and may communicate via the first interface or via a second interface in accordance with an indicated operation mode, the second interface being different from the first interface. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method of wireless communication by a repeater includes collecting sensor information associated with an environment of the repeater. The method also includes receiving control information from a control node for a repeating operation. The method further includes repeating a wireless signal received from a first device towards a second device in accordance with the control information and the sensor information. A method of wireless communication by a control node includes collecting sensor information from a repeater. The sensor information is associated with an environment of the repeater. The method also includes generating control information for the repeater based on the sensor information, and transmitting the control information to the repeater.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to millimeter wave (mmWave) device discovery for relay communication using pseudo-omnidirectional beams. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit a synchronization signal over each pseudo-omnidirectional beam to enable a second UE to discover a presence of the second UE within a range of the first UE. Upon the occurrence of an external event, a base station may either trigger a beam training procedure with the second UE to establish a relay link between the first and second UEs or broadcast a message to all UEs requesting a relay link be established with the first UE. The first and second UEs may then select a directional beam pair link (BPL) for the relay link and establish the relay link to enable information to be relayed between the base station and the first UE via the relay link.

This document generally relates to wireless communication systems that involve one or more intelligent reflecting devices. A plurality of second nodes that communicate with a first node may be grouped into node groups based on one or more communication parameters between the plurality of second nodes and an intelligent reflecting device.

In addition or alternatively, an intelligent reflecting device may include surface elements that are divided into multiple surface element regions. The first node may communicate with the multiple surface element regions independently in order to service the plurality of second nodes.

The Distributed Combined Junctional Transformer (abbreviated in this document as repeater station) provides a system to take any input wireless signal in any frequency and using any modulation and multiplexing schemes, convert it to the desired format and frequency and subsequently transmits the new wireless signal. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a repeater station comprises: an input antenna section capable of receiving the input signal generated by any source device in radio, microwave, infrared, visible or ultraviolet spectrums; an input conversion section translating the input wireless signal to a baseband signal if required; a baseband processing section that interprets the information of the input signal, converts the signal to the desired format and controls the other sections; an output conversion section which translates the baseband frequency output signal to the desired carrier output frequency if required; and an output antenna section which transmits the output signal.

A wireless communication system with directional transmission for simultaneously relaying communications between an access point (AP) and multiple radio nodes in the network which are in a first category that supports multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) capability, or a second category having different signal processing capabilities. Utilizing a superframe, which is a modification of an existing protocol, a relaying service period (SP) controls multiple simultaneous training and data transmission frames. The AP selects a relay device from the radio nodes based on metrics selected from signal strength, estimation of air time, category of radio node, AoA/AoD, power connectivity. This allows data to be communicated in a MIMO hop from said AP to the selected relay device, with a multi-user (MU) MIMO hop from the selected relay device and a destination radio node (client).

A leaky repeater access node (LRAN) includes a first directional antenna and a second directional antenna to transmit and receive signals in at least one first frequency band, and a third antenna to transmit and receive signals in a second frequency band. The LRAN also includes first analog components to split a first signal received by the first directional antenna into a first portion and a second portion. The first analog components amplify the first portion and provide the amplified first portion to the second directional antenna. The first analog components also convert the second portion to the second frequency band and provide the converted second portion to the third antenna.
