Abstract: Aspects relate to an integrated access backhaul (IAB)-Distributed Unit (DU) resource configuration framework for paired (e.g., frequency division duplex (FDD)) spectrum. Two DU resource configurations per cell may be supported for paired spectrum, including one for a first spectrum band (e.g., a downlink frequency band) and another for a second spectrum band (e.g., an uplink frequency band) of the paired spectrum. Each DU resource configuration may include a respective symbol pattern of symbol types (e.g., downlink (DL), uplink (UL), flexible) for a plurality of slots, as well as a corresponding availability attribute for each symbol type (e.g., hard, soft, or not available). A DU of an IAB node in an IAB network may receive the two DU resource configurations for the paired spectrum from a central unit (CU) of an IAB donor node in the IAB network.

Abstract: In certain aspects, the disclosure is directed to a user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communications with a network node. The UE may include a memory comprising instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions. In some examples, the UE may transmit, to a network node, an indication of an expected communication. In some examples, the UE may receive, from the network node, updated scheduling in response to the indication of the expected communication. For example, the UE may predict a future sidelink/uplink communication based on whether the UE expects data for a future uplink transmission. If the UE expects that it will have data for a future uplink transmission, the UE may notify the network node so that the network node can enter into a low power state until the future transmission, then provide the UE with a sidelink/uplink grant for the future uplink transmission.
