19. A system, comprising:
a wireless receiver configured to perform a method of operation, comprising:
receiving a reference to absolute time for communication on a wireless network;
determining a reference to start time of a radio frame relative to the absolute time;
determining a slot pattern for communication on the wireless network;
determining a schedule for switching the wireless repeater between uplink and downlink based on the received absolute time reference, the determined radio frame start time, and the determined slot pattern; and
wherein the wireless repeater is a repeater for communication within a selected communication frequency band;
wherein the determining of one or more of the slot pattern or the radio frame start time includes receiving one or more of the slot pattern or the radio frame start time outside of the selected communication frequency band;
wherein the receiving outside of the selected wireless frequency band includes a receiving via a device management protocol that comprises Lightweight Machine to Machine (LWM2M), Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA-DM), or Message Queues Telemetry Transport (MQTT);
wherein the receiving via the device management protocol includes receiving from one or more of a cloud-based management system or a device management server; and
wherein the one or more of the cloud-based management system or the device management server is configured to transmit one or more of the received slot pattern or the radio frame.
