RELAY NODE RESOURCE HANDLING

Abstract:

One or more methods of relay node resource handling At least one of the methods includes receiving, by a signaling mechanism, a configuration of hard resource or soft resource to be used for cell-specific synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) blocks (SSB); determining, based on the configuration, a hard resource or a soft resource for transmission of the cell-specific SSB; and transmitting the cell-specific SSB by the determined hard resource or soft resource.
