Techniques and apparatuses for synchronization signal resource selection for a wireless backhaul network

A wireless node for wireless communication, comprising:

• memory;
• and one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• determine a connectivity state of the wireless node with respect to a wireless network, wherein the connectivity states indicates:
• that a threshold amount of time has not elapsed since the wireless node lost a connection with at least one other wireless node, and one or more of:
• that the wireless node is an anchor node that is connected to a core network, or a number of hops from the wireless node to the anchor node that is connected to the core network;
• determine a set of resources available for one or more synchronization communications based at least in part on the connectivity state;
• select one or more resources from the set of resources using a reference timing associated with a cluster of wireless nodes in communication with the wireless node;
• and transmit the one or more synchronization communications using the one or more resources.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless node, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine a connectivity state of the wireless node with respect to a wireless network, wherein the connectivity states indicates:
• that a threshold amount of time has not elapsed since the wireless node lost a connection with at least one other wireless node, and one or more of:
• that the wireless node is an anchor node that is connected to a core network, or a number of hops from the wireless node to the anchor node that is connected to the core network;
• determine a set of resources available for one or more synchronization communications based at least in part on the connectivity state;
• select one or more resources from the set of resources using a reference timing associated with a cluster of wireless nodes in communication with the wireless node;
• and transmit the one or more synchronization communications using the one or more resources.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining a connectivity state of the apparatus with respect to a wireless network, wherein the connectivity states indicates:
• that a threshold amount of time has not elapsed since the apparatus lost a connection with at least one other apparatus, and one or more of:
• that the apparatus is an anchor node that is connected to a core network, or a number of hops from the apparatus to the anchor node that is connected to the core network;
• means for determining a set of resources available for one or more synchronization communications based at least in part on the connectivity state;
• means for selecting one or more resources from the set of resources using a reference timing associated with a cluster of apparatuses in communication with the apparatus;
• and means for transmitting the one or more synchronization communications using the one or more resources.
