1. An access repeater device, comprising:
a controller configured to:
control transmission of a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signals at a first transmit (Tx) power level;
detect a distribution of a set of user equipment (UEs), within a defined physical coverage zone of the access repeater device based on the transmitted first beam of RF signals, wherein a first UE of the set of UEs is detected at a first distance from the access repeater device at a first instance;
control decrease of the first Tx power level of the first beam of RF signals to a second Tx power level, wherein
the decrease of the first Tx power level of the first beam of RF signals induces a UE response at a second UE, of the set of UEs, at a second distance from the access repeater device to increase a Tx radio power of an RF signal emitted by the second UE, and
the second UE is hidden to the access repeater device at the first instance; and
detect the second UE at a second instance based on the decrease of the first Tx power level of the first beam of RF signals to the second Tx power level.
