1. A method for wireless communication at a network control node, comprising:
receiving a first indication of a capability of a repeater to detect a time division duplexing pattern of a channel that communicates information between two nodes using the repeater, wherein the time division duplexing pattern indicates a first set of resources of the channel as uplink or downlink and a second set of resources of the channel as flexibly configurable as either uplink or downlink;
transmitting a second indication of the time division duplexing pattern of the channel:
transmitting, based at least in part on the second indication, a third indication to perform a first set of channel measurements on the first set of resources and a fourth indication to perform a second set of channel measurements on the second set of resources:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) and via the repeater, one or more parameters associated with the UE performing one or more channel measurements based at least in part on the second indication and the capability of the repeater to detect the time division duplexing pattern; and
transmitting, to the UE via the repeater, reference signals for the one or more channel measurements based at least in part on transmitting the one or more parameters.
