TECHNIQUES FOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN AN INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL (IAB) SYSTEM

Abstract:

Aspects described herein relate to resource allocation in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) system. In an example, the aspects include receiving, by a wireless node, an indication of not-available (NA) resources of a parent node, the NA resources corresponding to a first set of one or more resources configured at the parent node as being unavailable for uplink and downlink communications between the parent node and the wireless node, wherein the indication of NA resources of the parent node comprises an invalid time division duplex (TDD)-uplink-downlink configuration; and refraining, by the wireless node, from communicating with the parent node within the NA resources based on the indication of NA resources of the parent node.
