Numerology for communications with a forwarding node

A control node for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• establish a control link with a forwarding node;
• and
• transmit configuration information that indicates that the forwarding node is to determine a numerology for a forwarding operation, that is associated with forwarding signals between a first wireless node and a second wireless node, wherein the numerology comprises a cyclic prefix size for the forwarding operation and is based at least in part on one or more of:
• a numerology of the control link, or
• a delay spread of a first link with the first wireless node or a delay spread of a second link with the second wireless node.

A method of wireless communication performed by a forwarding node, comprising:

• determining a numerology for a forwarding operation, that is associated with forwarding signals between a first wireless node and a second wireless node, wherein the numerology comprises a cyclic prefix size for the forwarding operation and is based at least in part on one or more of:
• a numerology of a control link between the forwarding node and a control node, and
• a delay spread of a first link with the first wireless node or a delay spread of a second link with the second wireless node;
• and
• performing the forwarding operation based at least in part on the numerology.
