Dynamic Soft Resource Signaling in Relay Networks

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs for determining in a new radio (NR) integrated access and backhaul (IAB) system available soft resources for an IAB node. In one aspect, a method includes determining, by a mobile termination (MT) of the IAB node, a time-domain soft resource configuration for a distributed unit (DU) of the IAB node. The method further includes transmitting the time-domain soft resource configuration to the DU.
