SIGNALING FOR RELAYING PRIOR TO DECODING

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for signaling that relayed packets include information generated prior to decoding (e.g., pre-decoded samples, such as log-likelihood ratios (LLRs)). A method that may be performed by a first wireless node (e.g., a relay node such as a repeater user equipment (UE), a network entity such as an access point (AP), base station (BS) or next generation NodeB (gNB), or another node) includes determining at least one first packet to be transmitted to a second node includes pre-decoded first information about a second packet and providing an indication to the second node that the first packet includes pre-decoded first information.
