  • Patent number: 11991615
    Abstract: Method and apparatus to rewrite BAP headers in IAB networks. The apparatus receives, from a second base station, a routing configuration indicating a mapping between a first routing ID and a second routing ID. The apparatus receives a packet with a packet header indicating the first routing ID. The apparatus determines the second routing ID based on the routing configuration mapping the first routing ID in the packet header to the second routing ID. The apparatus modifies, based on a determination of the second routing ID, the packet header to replace the first routing ID with the second routing ID. The apparatus transmits the packet based on the second routing ID.

  • Publication number: 20240155653
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A mobile wireless node (e.g., a mobile integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node) may transmit a control message to a parent wireless node indicating one or more supported network connectivity modes. A network connectivity mode may provide network connectivity to one or more user equipments (UEs) via the mobile wireless node when wireless backhaul connectivity is lost between the mobile wireless node and the parent wireless node. The parent wireless node may authorize the mobile wireless node to use a first network connectivity mode, and the mobile wireless node may communicate with a first UE in accordance with the first network connectivity mode. In this way, the mobile wireless node may use a network connectivity mode to extend coverage of a network to the first UE even if the first UE is outside of the coverage area of the network.

  • Patent number: 11963243
    Abstract: Aspects relate to establishing a signaling connection between a radio access network (RAN) node and a first scheduling entity. The RAN node may communicate in a dual connectivity (DC) mode of operation with the first scheduling entity (e.g., a secondary gNB) using a first radio access technology (RAT) and with a second scheduling entity (e.g., a master eNB) using a second RAT. The RAN node and the first scheduling entity may support sending information for a first signaling connection between the RAN node and the first scheduling entity over a second signaling connection through the second scheduling entity (e.g., when the second signaling connection is more reliable than the first signaling connection). To establish the second signaling connection, the RAN node and the first scheduling entity may signal support for the second signaling connection and exchange Internet Protocol information for the second signaling connection.
