A first wireless device transmits one or more transmissions for a second wireless device to a repeater for repetition to the second wireless device; adjusts a repeater operation based on a phase noise in transmission between the first wireless device and the repeater; and communicates with at least one of the repeater or the second wireless device based on the adjusted repeater operation. A repeater receives from a first wireless device, a request for the repeater to report a phase noise in transmissions between the first wireless device and the repeater for repetition with a second wireless device; and transmits a report of the phase noise to the first wireless device based on the request. A repeater receives, from a first wireless device, a transmission for repetition with a second wireless device; and transmits the repetition of the transmission to the second wireless device with a phase noise compensation.

A technology is described for a repeater having a Fourier Transform Matrix (FTM). The repeater can comprise a first set of N M-plexers having M ports on a first side of each of the first set of the N M-plexers and a single port on a second side of each of the first set of the N M-plexers; a first set of M N by N (N×N) FTMs, with each of the M FTMs in the first set having N first side ports and N second side ports; and a first inverse N×N FTM comprising N first side ports and N second side ports; an antenna port coupled to a Pth port of a second side of the first inverse N×N FTM; and a signal port at the Pth port of a first side of each of the M N×N FTMs in the first set.
