Abstract
A method for providing functions as a node that relays communication between an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) donor and user equipment in IAB, the method comprising: generating notification information; and periodically transmitting the generated notification information, wherein the notification information includes New Radio (NR) Cell Identity information in System Information Block (SIB) 1, and wherein the NR Cell Identity information includes identification information of the IAB donor.
Claims7
A method for providing functions as a node that relays communication between an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) donor and user equipment in IAB, the method comprising:
- determining that a connection node is to be changed, the connection node being connected to the communication apparatus and relaying communication between the communication apparatus and the IAB donor;
- receiving, from one or more other communication apparatuses that are connectable to the communication apparatus, New Radio (NR) Cell Identity information in System Information Block (SIB) 1;
- and
- in a case where the connection node is determined to be changed in a state where the communication apparatus is connected to a first another communication apparatus as the connection node, specifying identification information of the IAB donor to which the one or more communication apparatuses connect based on the NR Cell Identity information, and newly selecting a second another communication apparatus as a changed connection node from among the one or more other communication apparatuses based on the specified identification information pieces of the IAB donors.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method for providing functions as a node that relays communication between an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) donor and user equipment in IAB, the method comprising:
- determining that a connection node is to be changed, the connection node being connected to a communication apparatus and relaying communication between the communication apparatus and the IAB donor;
- receiving, from one or more other communication apparatuses that are connectable to the communication apparatus, New Radio (NR) Cell Identity information in System Information Block (SIB) 1;
- and
- selection unit configured to, in a case where the determination unit has determined that the connection node is to be changed in a state where the communication apparatus is connected to a first another communication apparatus as the connection node, specifying identification information of the IAB donor to which the one or more communication apparatuses connect based on the NR Cell Identity information, and newly select a second another communication apparatus as a changed connection node from among the one or more other communication apparatuses based on the specified identification information pieces of the IAB donors.
