    Abstract: Aspects relate to a base station configured to transmit a message to a sidelink (SL)-repeater, configuring the SL-repeater to transmit sidelink synchronization signal blocks (S-SSBs) including S-SSB index numbers, receive a SL-node identification and a preferred S-SSB index number, and transmit the SL-node identification and the preferred S-SSB index number to the SL-repeater. The base station may be configured to transmit a first message configuring a SL-repeater to broadcast a sidelink discovery message, receive a sidelink discovery report from the SL-repeater identifying discovered SL-node(s), and transmit a second message activating the SL-repeater for sidelink communication with the SL-node(s). Another aspect relates to a SL-repeater configured to: transmit a sidelink discovery message, receive first response(s) from respectively responding SL-node(s), and transmit a report to a base station identifying a change in membership between a first list of the respectively responding SL-node(s) and a second list of previously responding SL-nodes.

    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to establishing a control connection with at least a first node and a second node for receiving control information for providing a repeater function between two or more wireless nodes. Control information can be communicated over the control connection from one or more of at least the first node or the second node. The repeater can provide, based on the control information, the repeater function between the two or more wireless nodes. Other aspects relate to establishing a control connection with a first node for receiving control information for providing a repeater function for one or more upstream nodes, receiving control information over the control connection, determining a conflict in receiving the control information or a conflict within the control information for two or more upstream nodes, and providing, based on the control information and conflict, the repeater function for the one or more upstream nodes.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for wireless communication for determining the position of a wireless node. The method comprises receiving a set of reference signals from a set of at least four positioning devices, wherein the positioning devices are not arranged in a single plane. A signal propagation delay of each one of the set of reference signals is determined and a position of each one of the set of positioning devices is obtained. A convex localization problem is solved for the wireless node based at least in part on the determined signal propagation delay of each one of the set of reference signals and the position of each one of the set of positioning devices. The position of the wireless node is determined based at least in part on solving of the convex localization problem.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first node of a wireless network may transmit, by a first distributed unit (DU) of the first node to a central unit (CU), a second DU of another node in the wireless network, a user equipment in the wireless network, or a child node of the first node, an indication of a suggested resource pattern for the DU. The first node may transmit or receive a communication in the wireless network based at least in part on a resource pattern that is received in connection with transmitting the indication. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive cross-link interference (CLI) configuration information that indicates a plurality of sub-bands for a CLI measurement resource. The UE may transmit a CLI report indicating at least one CLI metric associated with at least one sub-band of the plurality of sub-bands. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for beam switching by a repeater node that forwards communications from one of a first node or a second node to the other of the first node or the second node. For example, after a change of position by the second node, the first node may provide the repeater node an instruction to perform a beam change operation to communicate with the second node. In some aspects, performing the beam change operation by the repeater node may improve reliability of wireless communications, such as by focusing signal energy in a particular direction. Further, a beam change delay time interval or a scheduling of the beam change delay time interval may be selected based on scheduling associated with other nodes, which may reduce a number of messages sent to the repeater node (such as by reducing instructions to change beam directions).

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A child node may communicate in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) communications system with a parent node and the parent node may transmit system information to the child node that may indicate one or more random access channel (RACH) procedure configurations such as a user equipment (UE)-specific RACH procedure configuration and a wireless backhaul-specific (e.g., IAB-specific) RACH procedure configuration. The child node may be configured to utilize the UE-specific RACH procedure configuration or the IAB-specific RACH procedure configuration such as if the child node meets one or more conditions or upon receiving an indication from the parent node. The child node may determine to use the UE-specific RACH procedure configuration for communicating with the parent node and may perform a RACH procedure with the parent node in accordance with the UE-specific RACH procedure configuration.
