Control signaling for repeaters with energy transfer

An apparatus for wireless communications at a wireless node, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a capability message indicating a capability of the wireless node to support relaying of energy transfer signaling;
• receive control signaling, from a network entity, comprising an indication of one or more configurations for relaying signals associated with a plurality of signal types between one or more transmitting nodes and one or more receiving nodes, wherein the plurality of signal types comprises at least a first signal type associated with an information-bearing signal and a second signal type associated with an energy transfer signal, wherein the one or more configurations are based at least in part on the capability message;
• receive one or more signals of the first signal type, of the second signal type, or both;
• and
• relay at least a subset of the one or more signals of the first signal type, of the second signal type, or both, according to the one or more configurations.

A wireless node for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for transmitting a capability message indicating a capability of the wireless node to support relaying of energy transfer signaling;
• means for receiving control signaling, from a network entity, comprising an indication of one or more configurations for relaying signals associated with a plurality of signal types between one or more transmitting nodes and one or more receiving nodes, wherein the plurality of signal types comprises at least a first signal type associated with an information-bearing signal and a second signal type associated with an energy transfer signal, wherein the one or more configurations are based at least in part on the capability message;
• means for receiving one or more signals of the first signal type, of the second signal type, or both;
• and
• means for relaying at least a subset of the one or more signals of the first signal type, of the second signal type, or both, according to the one or more configurations.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• transmit a capability message indicating a capability of the wireless node to support relaying of energy transfer signaling;
• receive control signaling, from a network entity, comprising an indication of one or more configurations for relaying signals associated with a plurality of signal types between one or more transmitting nodes and one or more receiving nodes, wherein the plurality of signal types comprises at least a first signal type associated with an information-bearing signal and a second signal type associated with an energy transfer signal, wherein the one or more configurations are based at least in part on the capability message;
• receive one or more signals of the first signal type, of the second signal type, or both;
• and
• relay at least a subset of the one or more signals of the first signal type, of the second signal type, or both, according to the one or more configurations.
