Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs for determining in a new radio (NR) integrated access and backhaul (IAB) system available soft resources for an IAB node. In one aspect, a method includes determining, by a mobile termination (MT) of the IAB node, a time-domain soft resource configuration for a distributed unit (DU) of the IAB node. The method further includes transmitting the time-domain soft resource configuration to the DU.
Claims20
In an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network including an IAB node, a method comprising:
- determining, by a mobile termination (MT) of the IAB node, a time-domain soft resource configuration for a distributed unit (DU) of the IAB node;
- and
- transmitting the time-domain soft resource configuration to the DU.
In an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network including an IAB node, a non-transitory computer-readable storage device having stored thereon the instructions, which, when executed by a data processing apparatus, cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by a mobile termination (MT) of the IAB node, a time-domain soft resource configuration for a distributed unit (DU) of the IAB node;
- and
- transmitting the time-domain soft resource configuration to the DU.
An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) system comprising:
- an IAB node comprising a distributed unit (DU) and a mobile termination (MT);
- and
- one or more processors and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by the MT of the IAB node, a time-domain soft resource configuration for the DU of the IAB node;
- and
- signaling the soft resource configuration to the DU.
