Abstract: To configure an IAB node for multiplexing communications within an IAB network, processing circuitry is to encode configuration signaling for transmission to a CU function of an IAB donor node. The configuration signaling indicates a multiplexing capability of the IAB node. RRC signaling from the CU function of the IAB donor node is decoded. The RRC signaling configures scheduling resources for a parent backhaul link between the MT function of the IAB node and a DU function of a parent IAB node based on the multiplexing capability of the MT and DU functions of the IAB node. Uplink data is encoded for transmission to the parent IAB node by the MT function using to the scheduling resources for the parent backhaul link. Transmission of the uplink data is multiplexed with transmission or reception of data by the DU function of the IAB node based on the multiplexing capability.

Abstract: To configure an IAB node for DU function and MT function resource transitions within an IAB network, the processing circuitry is to detect using allocated resources, a plurality of resource transitions in adjacent slots between transmission or reception of data on a parent backhaul link.

The number of desired guard symbols are for insertion during the transmission or reception of the data on the parent backhaul link to avoid overlapping of the allocated resources for the parent backhaul link and allocated resources for the DU function during the plurality of resource transitions.

Then, an interest packet for the ICN name is routed via the link based on the entry having a highest rank in the local routing data store.
