1. A method for wireless communication at an access network entity, comprising:
establishing a connection with a user equipment (UE) according to a first UE capability, wherein the first UE capability indicates a first set of connection parameters for communications with the UE;
receiving, from the UE, a UE capability message that indicates a second UE capability and a second set of connection parameters, wherein the second set of connection parameters are associated with a first relay identified by the UE for communications with the access network entity, and the second set of connection parameters include one or more of a number of antennas available for communications, a maximum supportable data rate associated with communications via the first relay, an acknowledgment timeline for communicating acknowledgment feedback between the UE and the access network entity, a downlink-to-uplink grant timeline between the UE receiving a grant and transmitting a responsive uplink transmission, a feedback processing timeline, one or more quality of service parameters, or any combinations thereof; and
communicating with the UE via the first relay according to the second UE capability.
