Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing power control for intermediary access points in wireless networks, such as relay nodes. Parameters related to intermediary access point communications can be provided to a serving access point, and the serving access point can generate power adjustment values and related commands based at least in part on the parameters. The parameters can include load on the intermediary access point, signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) and/or similar parameters related to communications between the intermediary access points and/or one or more UEs, etc. In addition, end-to-end power control can be provided where intermediary access points report SINR to serving access points allowing serving access points to adjust downlink transmission power.
