Abstract

An initial access method of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a wireless communication system and an apparatus using the method are provided. The method includes: receiving, from a parent node, a synchronization signal block (SSB) and system information; and performing a random access procedure with the parent node on the basis of the SSB and the system information, wherein the SSB and the system information are received through a resource allocated to an access link of the parent node, and the random access step is performed through a resource allocated to the backhaul link of the parent node, and the random access step is performed using resources determined differently depending on whether the TAB node is a relay node or a terminal.

Claims (31)

1. A method of performing a random access procedure of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information related to random access channel (RACH) parameters; and

performing a random access procedure to a parent node based on the information,

wherein the information comprises a configuration for informing a RACH parameter depending on a device type of the IAB node, and

wherein a first parameter for the IAB node is derived by adding or multiplying an offset, provided by the information, to a second parameter for a terminal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration is received through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration informs RACH resources that are classified based on whether the IAB node is a relay node or the terminal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information is included in system information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access procedure is related to an initial access to the parent node.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises i) a first configuration informing available RACH resources based on the IAB node being a relay node and ii) a second configuration informing available RACH resources based on the IAB node being the terminal.

7. An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node, comprising:

a transceiver transmitting and receiving radio signals; and

a processor being operatively connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive information related to random access channel (RACH) parameters, and

perform a random access procedure to a parent node based on the information,

wherein the information comprises a configuration for informing a RACH parameter depending on a device type of the IAB node, and

wherein a first parameter for the IAB node is derived by adding or multiplying an offset, provided by the information, to a second parameter for a terminal.

8. The IAB node of claim 7 , wherein the configuration is received through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

9. The IAB node of claim 7 , wherein the configuration informs RACH resources that are classified based on whether the IAB node is a relay node or the terminal.

10. The IAB node of claim 7 , wherein the information is included in system information.

11. The IAB node of claim 7 , wherein the random access procedure is related to an initial access to the parent node.

12. The IAB node of claim 7 , wherein the information comprises i) a first configuration informing available RACH resources based on the IAB node being a relay node and ii) a second configuration informing available RACH resources based on the IAB node being the terminal.

13. An apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor being operatively connected to the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to control a wireless communication device to:

receive information related to random access channel (RACH) parameters, and

perform a random access procedure to a parent node based on the information,

wherein the information comprises a configuration for informing a RACH parameter depending on a device type of the IAB node, and

wherein a first parameter for the IAB node is derived by adding or multiplying an offset, provided by the information, to a second parameter for a terminal.
