Management of resources in integrated access and backhaul

A method of wireless communication performed by a child node, comprising:

• receiving an availability indicator from a parent node of the child node,
• wherein the availability indicator indicates a set of resources as available for the child node;
• determining, based at least in part on the availability indicator, that the set of resources will not be used by the parent node for communication with the child node;
• and
• selectively modifying a scheduled communication with the parent node using the set of resources based at least in part on determining that the set of resources will not be used by the parent node for communication with the child node.

A method of wireless communication performed by a central unit (CU), comprising:

• determining, based at least in part on a resource configuration associated with a parent node, that a set of resources is not available to the parent node for communication with a child node of the parent node;
• selecting an availability indicator configuration based at least in part on determining that the set of resources is not available to the parent node for communication with the child node,
• wherein the availability indicator configuration is selected to permit the parent node to indicate, to the child node, the set of resources as available for the child node;
• and
• providing the availability indicator configuration to at least one of the parent node or the child node.

A child node for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• receive an availability indicator from a parent node of the child node,
• wherein the availability indicator indicates a set of resources as available for the child node;
• determine, based at least in part on the availability indicator, that the set of resources will not be used by the parent node for communication with the child node;
• and
• selectively modify a scheduled communication with the parent node using the set of resources based at least in part on determining that the set of resources will not be used by the parent node for communication with the child node.
