1. A system for managing a network of repeater devices, the system comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
obtain data from a repeater device of the network of repeater devices;
determine a plurality of signal propagation indicators that includes one or more open areas surrounding each repeater device of the network of repeater devices, one or more blocked areas surrounding each repeater device of the network of repeater devices, and one or more passive reflectors present in a geographical area, based on the data obtained from the repeater device,
wherein a three-dimensional representation of the geographical area is generated based on the data obtained from the repeater device and the determined plurality of signal propagation indicators, and
wherein the obtained data includes information of movement of a plurality of objects in the geographical area;
track a location and movement of a plurality of user devices in the geographical area;
select a beamforming scheme from a plurality of beamforming schemes for one or more repeater devices of the network of repeater devices based on the generated three-dimensional representation of the geographical area and the movement of the plurality of objects in the geographical area; and
execute an out-of-band control of operations of the network of repeater devices based on the generated three-dimensional representation, the selected beamforming scheme for the one or more repeater devices, the movement of the plurality of objects in the geographical area, and the tracked location and movement of the plurality of user devices in the geographical area.
