Internet protocol (IP) communication service over wireless integrated access and backhaul (IAB) links

A wireless communication network to serve a plurality of user communication devices using Internet Protocol (IP) and Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), the wireless communication network comprising:

• an IAB Mobile Termination (MT) and an IAB donor configured to establish an IAB link over wireless and wired communication channels;
• the IAB MT and a Centralized Unit (CU) configured to establish a plurality of IP links that each have a unique QoS level over the IAB link;
• the IAB MT configured to establish a direct communication link over glass fibers or metallic links with a user communication device of the plurality of user communication devices that couples the IAB MT to the user communication device;
• the IAB MT configured to receive a QoS request from the user communication device that specifies a QoS requirement for a data stream;
• the IAB MT and the CU configured to correlate the QoS requirement of the QoS request with one of the plurality of IP links that comprises the corresponding unique QoS level;
• the IAB MT configured to exchange the data stream having the QoS requirement with the user communication device over the glass fibers or metallic links;
• the IAB MT configured to wirelessly exchange the data stream over the one of the plurality of IP links based on the QoS correlation;
• and
• the CU configured to exchange the data stream with a data communication network based on the QoS requirement of the data stream.
