Abstract: A network controller monitors a wireless access node for a fault. The wireless access node experiences the fault and scans for wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) service. The network controller detects the fault and directs a neighbor access node to deliver the wireless IAB service. The neighbor access node delivers the wireless IAB service in response to the network controller. The wireless access node detects the wireless IAB service from the neighbor access node and exchanges fault data with the network controller using the wireless IAB service delivered by the neighbor access node. The network controller exchanges the fault data with the wireless access node using the wireless IAB service delivered by the neighbor access node. An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) or a User Plane Function (UPF) may detect a lack of signaling or data from the wireless access node to detect the fault.
