Abstract
Certain aspects are directed to an assisting node (AN) for wireless communications. The assisting node may operate as a relay or repeater (e.g., smart repeater), and may be configured to decode control signals it receives from a network node. The control signals may provide the AN with scheduling and resource allocations, and/or instruct the AN to use particular capabilities in its communications. The AN may include a memory and one or more processors configured to receive, from a network node, an energy transfer configuration providing the AN with a resource allocation for transmission of an information signal to the network node, the information signal comprising an indication of a backscatter signal received from a passive node. The AN may also be configured to transmit, based on the resource allocation, the information signal to the network node.
