Title:
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR BEAM DIRECTIVITY AT NETWORK-CONTROLLED REPEATERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/035665
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to techniques for configuring a repeater device by control signaling in a wireless communications system. In some embodiments, a repeater device is configured to form separate coverage regions. For example, the repeater device determines a first coverage region based on a first beam at the repeater device paired with a network device, wherein the first coverage region corresponds to a direction such that the first beam falls within the first coverage region for serving a control link or a backhaul link between the repeater device and the network device. Based on a first indication, the repeater device determines one or more coverage regions with respect to the first coverage region, wherein the one or more coverage regions are configured to communicate with a user equipment via an access link of the repeater device.
