1. An access repeater device, comprising:
a controller configured to:
detect a distribution of a set of user equipment (UEs) within a defined physical coverage zone of the access repeater device, based on a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted at a first transmit (Tx) power level from the access repeater device, wherein a first UE of the set of UEs is detected at a first distance from the access repeater device within the defined physical coverage zone of the access repeater device at a first instance;
control decrease of the first Tx power level of the first beam of RF signals from the access repeater device to a second Tx power level,
wherein the decrease of the first Tx power level of the first beam of RF signals induces a UE response at a second UE of the set of UEs at a second distance to increase a Tx radio power of an RF signal emitted by the second UE hidden to the access repeater device at the first instance; and
re-detect the distribution of the set of UEs within the defined physical coverage zone at a second instance, based on the UE response, wherein
the set of UEs that are re-detected comprises the first UE at the first distance and the second UE at the second distance from the access repeater device, and
the second distance is farther from the first distance with respect to the access repeater device.
