Network controlled repeater forward link beam switch testing

Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for network controlled repeater forward link beam switch testing. A method may include transmitting an access link beam configuration to a network controlled repeater (NCR). The method may also include initiating, by the NCR, a beam switch operation based on implementation of the received access link beam configuration. The method may further include transmitting, by NCR, an access link beam based on the beam switch operation. In addition, the method may include measuring the received access link beam of the NCR. Further, the method may include determining test metrics based on the measuring. The method may also include verifying the beam switch operation based on the test metrics.
