Abstract
A method of operating a node, for inter-node discovery, in a telecommunication network, the node being configured for Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) is provided. The method includes the steps of defining a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) Transmission Configuration (STC) comprising information elements related to one or more of numerology, periodicity, offset, duration, SSB index, or location in the frequency domain; and transmitting, by the node, an SSB or SSB burst set according to the information elements in the STC.
Claims18
A method performed by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, configuration information including a synchronization signal (SS)/a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB) measurement timing configuration (SMTC) for IAB node discovery, wherein the SMTC includes a cell list for the IAB node discovery;
- and
- performing a measurement of at least one SSB for the IAB node discovery based on the configuration information.
An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in wireless communication system, the IAB node comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from a base station, configuration information including a synchronization signal (SS)/a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB) measurement timing configuration (SMTC) for IAB node discovery, wherein the SMTC includes a cell list for the IAB node discovery;
- and
- perform a measurement of at least one SSB for the IAB node discovery based on the configuration information.
