Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums to help conserve power for wireless repeaters. In some cases, a repeater may detect synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for a set of one or more cells, obtain system information for one or more cells of the set, and forward one or more communications from at least one cell of the set in accordance with a schedule determined based on the system information, and the detected SSBs.
Claims30
A method for wireless communications by a repeater, comprising:
- detecting synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for a set of one or more cells;
- obtaining system information for one or more cells of the set of one or more cells;
- and
- forwarding one or more communications from at least one cell of the set of one or more cells in accordance with a schedule determined based on the system information and the detected SSBs.
A method for wireless communications by a control node, comprising:
- determining one or more received power thresholds for a repeater to use in determining fronthaul beams based on received power measurements of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs);
- and
- transmitting an indication of the one or more received power thresholds to the repeater.
A repeater, comprising:
- a processing system configured to detect synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for a set of one or more cells;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive system information for one or more cells of the set of one or more cells, wherein:
- the processing system is further configured to forward one or more communications from at least one cell of the set of one or more cells in accordance with a schedule determined based on the system information and the detected SSBs.
A control node, comprising:
- a processing system configured to determine one or more received power thresholds for a repeater to use in determining fronthaul beams based on received power measurements of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs);
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit an indication of the one or more received power thresholds to the repeater.
