Techniques to determine characteristics of signals forwarded by a wireless device

A first network node for wireless communication comprising at least one processor, and a non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the first network node to:

• receive, from a second network node, a configuration information that configures the first network node;
• and
• transmit, to a communication node or to the second network node, a first signal comprising a first information according to the configuration information,
• wherein, prior to the transmit, the first network node receives from the second network node a second signal comprising a second information that includes the first information,
• wherein the first network node determines a slot length or a symbol length of the first signal,
• wherein the slot length or the symbol length is determined using a first sub-carrier spacing from a pre-defined table,
• wherein the pre-defined table includes a first set of sub-carrier spacing including the first sub-carrier spacing and a second set of sub-carrier spacing including a second sub-carrier spacing,
• wherein each sub-carrier spacing from the first set of sub-carrier spacing is associated with one sub-carrier spacing from the second set of sub-carrier spacing,
• wherein the first network node determines that the first sub-carrier spacing is associated with the second sub-carrier spacing of a reference signal received by the first network node, and
• wherein the first sub-carrier spacing is determined in response to the first network node determining an absence of an indication of the slot length or the symbol length from the second network node.

A non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by at least one processor, causing the at least one processor to implement a method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first network node from a second network node, a configuration information that configures the first network node;
• and
• transmitting, by the first network node to a communication node or to the second network node, a first signal comprising a first information according to the configuration information,
• wherein, prior to the transmitting, the first network node receives from the second network node a second signal comprising a second information that includes the first information,
• wherein the first network node determines a slot length or a symbol length of the first signal,
• wherein the slot length or the symbol length is determined using a first sub-carrier spacing from a pre-defined table,
• wherein the pre-defined table includes a first set of sub-carrier spacing including the first sub-carrier spacing and a second set of sub-carrier spacing including a second sub-carrier spacing,
• wherein each sub-carrier spacing from the first set of sub-carrier spacing is associated with one sub-carrier spacing from the second set of sub-carrier spacing, and
• wherein the first network node determines that the first sub-carrier spacing is associated with the second sub-carrier spacing of a reference signal received by the first network node, and
• wherein the first sub-carrier spacing is determined in response to the first network node determining an absence of an indication of the slot length or the symbol length from the second network node.
