5. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
monitoring a relay reference signal from a relay node;
determining a signal strength of the relay reference signal and a timing of the relay reference signal based at least in part on the monitoring; and
transmitting, to a network entity, a downlink relay request based at least in part on the timing of the relay reference signal satisfying a threshold timing value.
