1. A repeater device, comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
operate the repeater device in a first operating mode, in which reception of data at the repeater device is at a first data rate, prior to execution of network time synchronization;
receive a request from a wireless device communicatively coupled with a base station, wherein the base station is communicatively coupled with the repeater device;
activate a slave mode in the repeater device based on the request;
acquire timing information of the base station;
execute the network time synchronization with the base station based on the acquired timing information;
operate the repeater device as a slave of the base station based on the network time synchronization and the activation of the slave mode; and
cause the repeater device to function as a remote antenna or a remote radio for the base station in the slave mode.
