Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a repeater device may communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a first beam, the communicating comprising relaying an access link communication between the UE and a network node. The repeater device may use a second beam that is predicted by the repeater device to communicate with the UE, the second beam being based at least in part on a network operating condition. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims20
An apparatus for wireless communication at a repeater device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the repeater device to:
- communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a first beam, the one or more processors, to cause the repeater to communicate with the UE, are further configured to cause the repeater device to:
- relay an access link communication between the UE and a network node;
- and
- use a second beam that is predicted by the repeater device to communicate with the UE, the second beam being based at least in part on a network operating condition.
A method of wireless communication performed by a repeater device, comprising:
- communicating with a user equipment (UE) using a first beam, the communicating comprising relaying an access link communication between the UE and a network node;
- and
- using a second beam that is predicted by the repeater device to communicate with the UE, the second beam being based at least in part on a network operating condition.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a repeater device, cause the repeater device to:
- communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a first beam, the one or more instructions, to cause the repeater device to communicate with the UE, are further configured to cause the repeater device to:
- relay an access link communication between the UE and a network node;
- and
- use a second beam that is predicted by the repeater device to communicate with the UE, the second beam being based at least in part on a network operating condition.
