CONFIGURATIONS FOR DYNAMIC INDICATION OF SOFT RESOURCE AVAILABILITY

摘要

One or more methods for an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) wireless network. At least one of the methods includes determining, by an IAB node including a mobile termination (MT) block and a co-located distributed unit (DU) block, two slot format indications (SFIs) by configuring the co-located DU block, the two SFIs indications including a first SFI that indicates a resource availability for communicating with a parent node and a second SFI that indicates a soft resource availability for communicating with a child node, in which each of the two SFIs include at least one RRCconfigured slot formats; and transmitting the two SFI indications to a second DU block.
