Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques for integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes. For example, embodiments include techniques associated with: rate-proportional routing for network coding; utilizing multiple routes in IAB networks; user equipment (UE) and parent selection for efficient topology in IAB networks; establishing efficient IAB topologies; and/or adaptive coded-forwarding for network coding. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine topologies for networks are disclosed. An example a non-transitory computer readable medium comprises instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least: determine link capacities for a plurality of links between nodes of a network, determine a maximum number of children of the peer linked nodes, determine a maximum number of parents of the peer linked nodes, and utilize reinforcement learning to determine a subset of the plurality of links to be activated in the network based on the link capacities, the maximum number of children, and the maximum number of parents.
