1. A repeater that relays communications between a first communication device and a second communication device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processor to cause the repeater to:
determine one or more power configuration parameters associated with the repeater;
transmit the one or more power configuration parameters from the repeater to a controlling node, wherein the one or more power configuration parameters transmitted from the repeater to the controlling node comprise a power headroom parameter associated with the repeater, a current transmit power parameter associated with the repeater, or a current gain setting value associated with the repeater;
receive, at the repeater from the controlling node, gain configuration information determined for the repeater based on the power headroom parameter associated with the repeater, the current transmit power parameter associated with the repeater, or the current gain setting value associated with the repeater;
receive a communication from the first communication device;
determine a gain value for the repeater based on the gain configuration information;
apply the gain value at the repeater to the received communication to create a gain adjusted communication; and
transmit the gain adjusted communication from the repeater to the second communication device.
