Techniques to determine characteristics of signals forwarded by a wireless device

1 . A wireless communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a first network node from a second network node, a configuration information that configures the first network node; and

transmitting, by the first network node to a communication node or to the second network node, a first signal comprising a first information according to the configuration information,

wherein, prior to the transmitting, the first network node receives from the second network node a second signal comprising a second information that includes the first information,

wherein the first network node determines a slot length or a symbol length of the first signal,

wherein the slot length or the symbol length is determined using a first sub-carrier spacing from a pre-defined table,

wherein the pre-defined table includes a first set of sub-carrier spacing including the first sub-carrier spacing and a second set of sub-carrier spacing including a second sub-carrier spacing,

wherein each sub-carrier spacing from the first set of sub-carrier spacing is associated with one sub-carrier spacing from the second set of sub-carrier spacing, and

wherein the first network node determines that the first sub-carrier spacing is associated with the second sub-carrier spacing of a reference signal received by the first network node, and

wherein the first sub-carrier spacing is determined in response to the first network node determining an absence of an indication of the slot length or the symbol length from the second network node.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is according to a pre-defined rule.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes a granularity indication, and

wherein the granularity indication includes a slot-level indication that indicates whether the first information includes a slot-level information from the second information, or

wherein the granularity indication includes a symbol-level indication that indicates whether the first information includes a symbol-level information from the second information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal includes a synchronization signal block (SSB).

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes:

a transmission period that indicates a length of time in which the second information in the second signal is received by the first network node,

a frequency band shift value that indicates a difference in frequency between the first signal and the second signal, or

one or more frequencies that the first network node is to forward.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second network node includes a base station (BS), and wherein the communication node includes a user equipment (UE).

7 . A first network node for wireless communication comprising at least one processor, and a non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the first network node to:

receive, from a second network node, a configuration information that configures the first network node; and

transmit, to a communication node or to the second network node, a first signal comprising a first information according to the configuration information,

wherein, prior to the transmit, the first network node receives from the second network node a second signal comprising a second information that includes the first information,

wherein the first network node determines a slot length or a symbol length of the first signal,

wherein the slot length or the symbol length is determined using a first sub-carrier spacing from a pre-defined table,

wherein the pre-defined table includes a first set of sub-carrier spacing including the first sub-carrier spacing and a second set of sub-carrier spacing including a second sub-carrier spacing,

wherein each sub-carrier spacing from the first set of sub-carrier spacing is associated with one sub-carrier spacing from the second set of sub-carrier spacing,

wherein the first network node determines that the first sub-carrier spacing is associated with the second sub-carrier spacing of a reference signal received by the first network node, and

wherein the first sub-carrier spacing is determined in response to the first network node determining an absence of an indication of the slot length or the symbol length from the second network node.

8 . The first network node of claim 7 , wherein the configuration information is according to a pre-defined rule.

9 . The first network node of claim 7 , wherein the configuration information includes a granularity indication, and

wherein the granularity indication includes a slot-level indication that indicates whether the first information includes a slot-level information from the second information, or

wherein the granularity indication includes a symbol-level indication that indicates whether the first information includes a symbol-level information from the second information.

10 . The first network node of claim 7 , wherein the reference signal includes a synchronization signal block (SSB).

11 . The first network node of claim 7 , wherein the configuration information includes:

a transmission period that indicates a length of time in which the second information in the second signal is received by the first network node,

a frequency band shift value that indicates a difference in frequency between the first signal and the second signal, or

one or more frequencies that the first network node is to forward.

12 . The first network node of claim 7 , wherein the second network node includes a base station (BS), and wherein the communication node includes a user equipment (UE).

13 . A non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by at least one processor, causing the at least one processor to implement a method, comprising:

receiving, by a first network node from a second network node, a configuration information that configures the first network node; and

transmitting, by the first network node to a communication node or to the second network node, a first signal comprising a first information according to the configuration information,

wherein, prior to the transmitting, the first network node receives from the second network node a second signal comprising a second information that includes the first information,

wherein the first network node determines a slot length or a symbol length of the first signal,

wherein the slot length or the symbol length is determined using a first sub-carrier spacing from a pre-defined table,

wherein the pre-defined table includes a first set of sub-carrier spacing including the first sub-carrier spacing and a second set of sub-carrier spacing including a second sub-carrier spacing,

wherein each sub-carrier spacing from the first set of sub-carrier spacing is associated with one sub-carrier spacing from the second set of sub-carrier spacing, and

wherein the first network node determines that the first sub-carrier spacing is associated with the second sub-carrier spacing of a reference signal received by the first network node, and

wherein the first sub-carrier spacing is determined in response to the first network node determining an absence of an indication of the slot length or the symbol length from the second network node.
