INTERFERENCE-AWARE SCHEDULING DURING TRANSITION INSTANCES IN AN INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NETWORK

Abstract:

An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may transition between use of a mobile termination (MT) function at the wireless device and use of a distributed unit (DU) function. The IAB node may schedule communication using the DU function of the wireless device based on whether one or more guard symbols are provided for an allocation from a parent node for the MT function.
