identifying a second network entity that is connected to one or more user equipment (UEs) via a first direct wireless communication link between the second network entity and a wireless repeater;

receiving, from the second network entity, an indication of control information for controlling the wireless repeater based at least in part on the wireless repeater being restricted to monitor for control information from the first network entity, wherein the control information indicates whether the wireless repeater is to transmit uplink communications to the first network entity, or uplink communications to the second network entity, or downlink communications to the one or more UEs, or any combination thereof;

transmitting, to the wireless repeater, via a second direct wireless communication link between the first network entity and the wireless repeater, the control information based at least in part on the received indication and based at least in part on a control signaling pattern; and

transmitting, to the wireless repeater, second control information based at least in part on the control signaling pattern, wherein the control signaling pattern is based at least in part on the control information and the second control information, the control information associated with the second network entity and the second control information associated with the first network entity, wherein the control signaling pattern comprises respective time intervals configured for transmissions of control signaling from respective network entities to the wireless repeater, the respective network entities comprising at least the first network entity and the second network entity.
