30. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:
receive, from a second device, first control signaling triggering a channel access procedure at the first device, the channel access procedure comprising a listen-before-talk procedure for accessing a shared radio frequency spectrum;
perform the listen-before-talk procedure based at least in part on the first control signaling;
transmit, to the second device, an indication of a channel occupancy time initiated by the first device based at least in part on successfully performing the listen-before-talk procedure; and
relay communications by the first device between the second device and a third device during the channel occupancy time initiated by the first device based at least in part on the transmitted indication of the channel occupancy time initiated by the first device.
