Dynamic resource allocation in wireless network

An apparatus for wireless communication in a wireless backhaul network, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• determine whether data is available to be transmitted by a first access node to a second access node via a first communication link using a radio access technology (RAT) that supports a synchronized frame structure, wherein the first communication link is a backhaul link, and wherein the first access node acts as an access node for communications on the first communication link by being configured to schedule one or more transmissions on the first communication link;
• receive, at the first access node and from a first wireless node, an indication of whether a scheduled resource of a second communication link associated with the first wireless node, time synchronized with the first communication link, is available during a time interval defined by the synchronized frame structure, wherein the first access node acts as a user equipment (UE) for communications on the second communication link by being configured to communicate via the second communication link when scheduled by the first wireless node;
• and
• transmit, by the first access node, the data via the first communication link using the scheduled resource during the time interval based at least in part on the indication indicating that the scheduled resource of the second communication link is available during the time interval.

• means for receiving, at the first access node and from a first wireless node, an indication of whether a scheduled resource of a second communication link associated with the first wireless node, time synchronized with the first communication link, is available during a time interval defined by the synchronized frame structure, wherein the first access node acts as a user equipment (UE) for communications on the second communication link by being configured to communicate via the second communication link when scheduled by the first wireless node;
• and
• means for transmitting, by the first access node, the data via the first communication link using the scheduled resource during the time interval based at least in part on the indication indicating that the scheduled resource of the second communication link is available during the time interval.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• determine whether data is available to be transmitted by a first access node to a second access node via a first communication link using a radio access technology (RAT) that supports a synchronized frame structure, wherein the first communication link is a backhaul link, and wherein the first access node acts as an access node for communications on the first communication link by being configured to schedule one or more transmissions on the first communication link;
• receive, at the first access node and from a first wireless node, an indication of whether a scheduled resource of a second communication link associated with the first wireless node, time synchronized with the first communication link, is available during a time interval defined by the synchronized frame structure, wherein the first access node acts as a user equipment (UE) for communications on the second communication link by being configured to communicate via the second communication link when scheduled by the first wireless node;
• and
• transmit, by the first access node, the data via the first communication link using the scheduled resource during the time interval based at least in part on the indication indicating that the scheduled resource of the second communication link is available during the time interval.
