Claim 12:
13. A method of detecting a repeater on a propagation path at a receiving device of a wireless communication network, comprising:
receiving, from a controlling entity, a repeater detection configuration indicating at least a detection threshold;
receiving, from a transmitting device via the propagation path, a first signal having been transmitted at a first power level indicated by the repeater detection configuration;
performing first measurements of the first signal resulting in first measurement results;
receiving, from the transmitting device via the propagation path, a second signal having been transmitted at a second power level indicated by the repeater detection configuration;
performing second measurements of the second signal resulting in second measurement results;
detecting an active repeater on the propagation path in response to a difference between the first measurement results and the second measurement results satisfying the detection threshold;
determining, in response to detecting the active repeater, configuration information of the active repeater;
performing, according to the configuration information of the active repeater and in response to detecting the active repeater, at least one of interference management, beam management, positioning, or mobility management;
and
communicating at least one transmission via the active repeater and according to the configuration information of the active repeater.
