Techniques to facilitate multiplexing uplink signals of a repeater

A method of wireless communication at a repeater, comprising:

• obtaining a first uplink signal associated with a user equipment (UE);
• providing a first uplink communication including the first uplink signal multiplexed with a second uplink signal, the second uplink signal being associated with a mobile termination (MT) component of the repeater;
• obtaining a multiplexing configuration based in part on at least one of a phase distortion or a power mismatch associated with the first uplink communication;
• and
• providing a second uplink communication based in part on the multiplexing configuration, the second uplink communication including a third uplink signal multiplexed with a fourth uplink signal, wherein the multiplexing configuration indicates a dummy signal, the third uplink signal being frequency-division multiplexed with the fourth uplink signal, the third uplink signal being associated with the UE, and the fourth uplink signal being associated with the dummy signal.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the at least one memory, the at least one processor is configured to cause the network entity to:
• obtain a first uplink communication including a first uplink signal multiplexed with a second uplink signal, the first uplink signal associated with a user equipment (UE) and the second uplink signal associated with a repeater;
• and
• provide a multiplexing configuration based in part on at least one of a phase distortion or a power mismatch associated with the first uplink communication, wherein the multiplexing configuration indicates a dummy signal to multiplex with subsequent uplink signals associated with the UE.
