Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for supporting integrated access and backhaul (IAB) networks. IAB nodes may be configured to broadcast in-raster and off-raster synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for establishing communications with mobile devices and/or user equipment (UE).

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.

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.
