Leveraging integrated access and backhaul (iab) resource management for power savings in a wireless communication network

A first node of a wireless communication network, comprising:

• one or more interfaces configured to receive resource management information for one or more resources associated with the first node, the resource management information indicating a first resource management configuration for a first resource of the one or more resources;
• and
• one or more processors configured to schedule a power save mode for the first node associated with the first resource and the first resource management configuration.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor of a first node, cause the first node to:

• receive, from a second node of a wireless communication network, resource management information for one or more resources associated with the first node, the resource management information indicating a first resource management configuration for a first resource of the one or more resources;
• and
• schedule a power save mode for the first node associated with the first resource and the first resource management configuration.
