Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods applied to an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. An example method includes receiving configuration information for setup of a distributed unit (DU) part of the IAB node and determining, based on a manner of receiving the configuration information, that a master node of the IAB node or a secondary node of the IAB node is a donor node of the IAB node.
Claims15
A communication method, applied to an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node and comprising:
- receiving configuration information for setup of a distributed unit (DU) part of the IAB node;
- and
- determining, based on a manner of receiving the configuration information, that a master node of the IAB node or a secondary node of the IAB node is a donor node of the IAB node, comprising:
- in response to the configuration information is second configuration information generated by the master node of the IAB node, determining that the master node of the IAB node is the donor node of the IAB node;
- or
- in response to the configuration information is third configuration information generated by the secondary node of the IAB node, determining that the secondary node of the IAB node is the donor node of the IAB node.
A data transmission apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises one or more processors to run instructions, enabling the apparatus to:
- receive configuration information for setup of a distributed unit (DU) part of the IAB node;
- and
- determine, based on a manner of receiving the configuration information, that a master node of the IAB node or a secondary node of the IAB node is a donor node of the IAB node, comprising:
- in response to the configuration information is second configuration information generated by the master node of the IAB node, determine that the master node of the IAB node is the donor node of the IAB node;
- or
- in response to the configuration information is third configuration information generated by the secondary node of the IAB node, determine that the secondary node of the IAB node is the donor node of the IAB node.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that are executable by a computer, the non-transitory computer readable medium is applied to a first communication apparatus, and the instructions comprise instructions for:
- receiving configuration information for setup of a distributed unit (DU) part of the IAB node;
- and
- determining, based on a manner of receiving the configuration information, that a master node of the IAB node or a secondary node of the IAB node is a donor node of the IAB node, comprising:
- in response to the configuration information is second configuration information generated by the master node of the IAB node, determining that the master node of the IAB node is the donor node of the IAB node;
- or
- in response to the configuration information is third configuration information generated by the secondary node of the IAB node, determining that the secondary node of the IAB node is the donor node of the IAB node.
