Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure may provide an apparatus, which may include a first node that may receive an indication of a one-hop radio link control (RLC) channel packet delay budget (PDB) for an RLC channel between the first node and a second node. The PDB is across a full protocol stack or a partial protocol stack. The first node may then schedule communications with the second node based on the one-hop RLC channel PDB. In some cases, an IAB node may report a capability of its stack processing time to an IAB donor node and/or a parent IAB node (directly or indirectly).

The first network node determines with which traffic is associated routes traffic associated with the first topology ID based on the first BAP configuration, and traffic associated with the second topology ID based on the second BAP configuration.
