Abstract
A network device may be configured to: send a preemptive scheduling request to an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node over a wireless link between the network device and the IAB node; receive a scheduling grant from the IAB node over the wireless link; and send data to the IAB node over the wireless link at times indicated by the scheduling grant from the IAB node.
Claims20
A network device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- send a preemptive scheduling request to an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node over a wireless link between the network device and the IAB node;
- receive a scheduling grant from the IAB node over the wireless link;
- and
- send data to the IAB node over the wireless link at times indicated by the scheduling grant from the IAB node.
A method comprising:
- sending a preemptive scheduling request from a network device to an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node over a wireless link between the network device and the IAB node;
- receiving a scheduling grant from the IAB node over the wireless link;
- and
- sending data to the IAB node over the wireless link at times indicated by the scheduling grant from the IAB node.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- send a preemptive scheduling request to an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node over a wireless link between a network device that includes the one or more processors and the IAB node;
- receive a scheduling grant from the IAB node over the wireless link;
- and
- send data to the IAB node over the wireless link at times indicated by the scheduling grant from the IAB node.
