1. An apparatus for wireless communication at wireless device, comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
establish connectivity between the wireless device and a user equipment (UE) via a first communication path, and between the wireless device and the UE via a second communication path that includes a relay device;
transmit, via the first communication path, a first message in a first format to the UE, the first message comprising first data; and
transmit, via the second communication path to the relay device, a second message in a second format and comprising the first data, the second format indicating that the relay device is to relay the first data to the UE,
wherein the instructions to establish the connectivity between the wireless device and the UE via the second communication path are executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
forward, to the relay device, a measurement report based at least in part on receiving the measurement report from the UE;
receive, from the relay device, a connection configuration transfer message for a secondary cell addition procedure; and
transmit, to the relay device, a first connection configuration message based at least in part on receiving the connection configuration transfer message.
