Electronic apparatus, wireless communication method, and computer readable storage medium

An electronic apparatus in an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) system, comprising:

• processing circuitry, configured to:
• receive, from a parent node of the electronic apparatus, a time slot format cycle of a link between the electronic apparatus and the parent node, wherein the time slot format cycle comprises a predetermined number of time slots;
• receive time slot configuration information from the parent node;
• and
• determine, according to the time slot configuration information, a time slot format of each of time slots of the link within one time slot format cycle, wherein
• the time slot configuration information comprises identification information of the time slot format of each of the time slots within one time slot format cycle, or
• the time slot configuration information comprises identification information of each of one or more time slots in which uplink/downlink conversion occurs within one time slot format cycle, and identification information of a time slot format of the time slot.

A wireless communication method performed by an electronic apparatus in an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) system, comprising:

• configuring, according to a subcarrier interval of a link between the electronic apparatus and a child node of the electronic apparatus, a time slot format cycle for the link, wherein the time slot format cycle comprises a predetermined number of time slots;
• and
• configuring, for the link, a time slot format of each of the time slots within one time slot format cycle,
• wherein the time slot format cycle is configured for the link such that the subcarrier interval of the link is proportional to a number of the time slots comprised in the time slot format cycle.
