Analog phased-array repeaters with digitally-assisted frequency translation and phase adjustment

An apparatus for wireless communications at a first device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively configured to cause the first device to:
• output, at a first carrier frequency, an indication of a configuration of a repeating device, the configuration being based at least in part on communication with one or more user equipment (UEs) via the repeating device;
• and
• output, at a second carrier frequency, a beamformed signal based at least in part on the configuration, the first carrier frequency and the second carrier frequency associated with a same radio frequency spectrum band.

A method for wireless communications at a first device, comprising:

• receiving, at a first antenna array of the first device, a signal at a first carrier frequency from a second device in a wireless network;
• performing a frequency translation of the received signal from the first carrier frequency to a second carrier frequency, wherein a difference between the first carrier frequency and the second carrier frequency satisfies a threshold;
• and
• transmitting, by a second antenna array of the first device, the translated signal to a third device in the wireless network, the translated signal being transmitted at the second carrier frequency.
