  • Patent number: 12232176
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing backhaul communications for an integrated access and backhaul node (IAB) operating in a wireless network. For example, an IAB node determines a first random access channel (RACH) configuration for a child node in the wireless network that is served by the IAB node. The IAB transmits a RACH configuration request message including the first RACH configuration to a parent IAB node, and receives, from the parent IAB node, a second RACH configuration complete message that includes a second RACH configuration that is based on the first RACH configuration for the child node. The IAB then performs backhaul communication with the parent IAB node using the second RACH configuration.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a more-efficient set of routes on a communications network, given an initial set of routes that satisfies a set of demands. Consistent with disclosed embodiments, the routes can be represented as network paths on a network graph that represents the communications network. In some embodiments, a set of irreducible paths can be generated from the original network paths. The communications network can then be updated to implement routes corresponding to the set of irreducible paths. In some embodiments, a bipartite graph can be generated from the original network paths and the irreducible paths. An updated set of paths can be generated by selecting ones of the original network paths or the irreducible paths. In some embodiments, auxiliary graph can be generated from the original network paths and the irreducible paths. An updated set of paths can be generated using the auxiliary graph.
