receiving control signaling from a second device within a first time period, the control signaling indicating a configuration for forwarding messages to a third device based at least in part on the first device including a first repeater;
receiving, based at least in part on a buffer capability of the first device being including a digital repeater, a message from the second device within a second time period, the second time period being different from the first time period;
buffering the message in response to receiving the message from the second device and based at least in part on the configuration for forwarding messages to the third device; and
