Packet delay budget (pdb) and time sensitive communication (tsc) traffic in integrated access and backhaul (iab) networks

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure may provide an apparatus, which may include a first node that may receive an indication of a one-hop radio link control (RLC) channel packet delay budget (PDB) for an RLC channel between the first node and a second node. The PDB is across a full protocol stack or a partial protocol stack. The first node may then schedule communications with the second node based on the one-hop RLC channel PDB. In some cases, an IAB node may report a capability of its stack processing time to an IAB donor node and/or a parent IAB node (directly or indirectly).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
