  • Patent number: 12363602
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) donor central unit (CU) may transmit, to a second IAB donor CU, a resource configuration of a first cell served by an IAB node to initiate a migration of the IAB node from a first parent node to a second parent node serving a second cell associated with the second IAB donor CU. The first IAB donor CU may receive, from the second IAB donor CU, an indication that communications performed by the IAB node associated with the first cell will not conflict with communications with the second parent node serving the second cell. The first IAB donor CU may migrate the IAB node to the second parent node based at least in part on the indication. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Patent number: 12267706
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications at a first wireless node in a wireless communications system are described. The techniques may enable a first wireless node (e.g., an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB system) to establish a communications link with a second wireless node. The first wireless node may receive, via a reception beam of the first wireless node, an interfering signal from an aggressor wireless node. The first wireless node may perform an interference measurement of the interfering signal at the first reception beam. The first wireless node may transmit a report indicating the interference measurement to the second wireless node. The second wireless node may schedule communications based on the interference measurement. In some examples, the report may indicate one or more parameters of the interfering signal. In some examples, the report may correspond to one or more beams.

  • Publication number: 20240422588
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication by an integrated access and backhaul network (IAB) donor transmits a configuration message on a source path to a first IAB node via a first distributed unit of the IAB donor. The method also instructs the first IAB node to delay delivery of the configuration message to a second node. The method migrates at least part of communications to the first IAB node from the source path to a target path via a second distributed unit. Another method of wireless communication is executed by a first integrated access and backhaul network (IAB) node. The method receives a first configuration message over a source path to a first IAB donor via a first distributed unit of the first IAB donor. The method also delays delivery of the first configuration message to a second node until a trigger occurs.

  • Publication number: 20240381403
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may determine a set of restricted IAB-DU beams that are not to be used by the IAB-DU while a mobile termination function of the IAB node is using one or more IAB-MT beams. The determination is based on measurements related to interference caused by simultaneous operations of the IAB-DU and IAB-MT in multiplexing modes. The IAB node transmits signaling that indicates the restricted IAB-DU beams and associates the set with the IAB-MT beams. Additionally or alternatively, an IAB node can receive such signaling from a parent node, perform operations using the IAB-MT beams, and simultaneously perform operations using certain IAB-DU beams not included in the set of restricted beams. Numerous other aspects are provided.
