1. A method for wireless communication by a repeater node, comprising:
relaying a first message using a first beam, the first message being relayed from a first node to a second node or from the second node to the first node;
receiving an instruction to perform a beam change operation from the first beam to a second beam, the beam change operation being associated with a beam change delay time interval that is less than or equal to a threshold beam change delay time interval; and
relaying, from one of the first node or the second node to the other of the first node or the second node, a second message using the second beam.
