Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for establishment of communication links between nodes in a wireless network, in which an access node (e.g., a node that provides access to a core network) may provide a communication link configuration and resources for communications between multiple nodes. In some cases, an access node may receive a request from a first node to establish a communication link with a second node. The communication link may be, for example, a directional transmission beam that carries data or control information, or a combination thereof, between the first node and the second node. The access node may determine the communication link configuration based on one or more link measurements provided by the first node or second node, and provide the configuration information to one or both of the first node or the second node.
