Dynamic timing adjustment for new radio integrated access and backhaul node

An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node for wireless communication comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a timing offset value;
• operate in an operational mode, wherein the operational mode is a first operational mode or a second operational mode, wherein the first operational mode is associated with a first access link timing and the second operational mode is associated with a second access link timing;
• and
• transmit, to a child node, a timing indication indicative of timing advance value, wherein the timing advance value is based on the timing offset value and the operational mode.

A method of wireless communication performed by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, the method comprising:

• receiving a timing offset value;
• operating in an operational mode, wherein the operational mode is a first operational mode or a second operational mode, wherein the first operational mode is associated with a first access link timing and the second operational mode is associated with a second access link timing;
• and
• transmitting, to a child node, a timing indication indicative of timing advance value, wherein the timing advance value is based on the timing offset value and the operational mode.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node to:

• receive a timing offset value;
• operate the IAB node in an operational mode, wherein the operational mode is a first operational mode or a second operational mode, wherein the first operational mode is associated with a first access link timing and the second operational mode is associated with a second access link timing;
• and
• transmit, to a child node, a timing indication indicative of timing advance value, wherein the timing advance value is based on the timing offset value and the operational mode.
