Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device for configuring a node to transmit and receive data. A second node receives a first message by a first node, wherein the first message comprises at least one of information for determining a channel used by the second node to transmit data received by the second node, or information for determining a radio bearer to transmit data received. Also, the second node transmits the received data mapped to at least one of the channel or the radio bearer used to transmit the data. Through the above method and device, mapping between the received data and transmitted data of each node in a multi-hop network is realized.

Claims (56)

1 . A method, performed by a first node, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a second node, a user equipment (UE) context configuration request message comprising information on at least one backhaul Radio Link Control (RLC) channel to be setup including identification information of a first backhaul RLC channel associated with a distributed unit (DU) of the second node and backhaul RLC channel mapping information for the first backhaul RLC channel; and

receiving, from the second node, a UE context configuration response message in response to the UE context configuration request message,

wherein the backhaul RLC channel mapping information indicates a mapping relation between the first backhaul RLC channel and a second backhaul RLC channel served by a mobile terminal (MT) of the second node,

wherein, in case that the backhaul RLC channel mapping information configures a first mapping in a downlink direction, the backhaul RLC channel mapping information comprises an ingress backhaul RLC channel identifier associated with the second backhaul RLC channel, and

wherein, in case that the backhaul RLC channel mapping information configures a second mapping in an uplink direction, the backhaul RLC channel mapping information comprises an egress backhaul RLC channel identifier associated with the second backhaul RLC channel.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE context configuration request message further comprises Quality of Service (QOS) related information of the first backhaul RLC channel.

3 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the UE context configuration request message is a UE context setup request message and the UE context configuration response message is a UE context setup response message, or

wherein the UE context configuration request message is a UE context modification request message and the UE context configuration response message is a UE context modification response message.

4 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first node comprises a centralized unit of a donor node; and

wherein the second node comprises at least one of a DU of the donor node, or a DU of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node.

5 . A method, performed by a second node, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first node, a user equipment (UE) context configuration request message comprising information on at least one backhaul Radio Link Control (RLC) channel to be setup including identification information of a first backhaul RLC channel associated with a distributed unit (DU) of the second node and backhaul RLC channel mapping information for the first backhaul RLC channel; and

transmitting, to the first node, a UE context configuration response message in response to the UE context configuration request message,

wherein the backhaul RLC channel mapping information indicates a mapping relation between the first backhaul RLC channel and a second backhaul RLC channel served by a mobile terminal (MT) of the second node,

wherein, in case that the backhaul RLC channel mapping information configures a first mapping in a downlink direction, the backhaul RLC channel mapping information comprises an ingress backhaul RLC channel identifier associated with the second backhaul RLC channel, and

wherein, in case that the backhaul RLC channel mapping information configures a second mapping in an uplink direction, the backhaul RLC channel mapping information comprises an egress backhaul RLC channel identifier associated with the second backhaul RLC channel.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the UE context configuration request message further comprises Quality of Service (QOS) related information of the first backhaul RLC channel.

7 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the UE context configuration request message is a UE context setup request message and the UE context configuration response message is a UE context setup response message, or

wherein the UE context configuration request message is a UE context modification request message and the UE context configuration response message is a UE context modification response message.

8 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the first node comprises a centralized unit of a donor node; and

wherein the second node comprises at least one of a DU of the donor node, or a DU of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node.

9 . A first node in a wireless communication system, the first node comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

transmit, to a second node via the transceiver, a user equipment (UE) context configuration request message comprising information on at least one backhaul Radio Link Control (RLC) channel to be setup including identification information of a first backhaul RLC channel associated with a distributed unit (DU) of the second node and backhaul RLC channel mapping information for the first backhaul RLC channel, and

receive, from the second node via the transceiver, a UE context configuration response message in response to the UE context configuration request message,

wherein the backhaul RLC channel mapping information indicates a mapping relation between the first backhaul RLC channel and a second backhaul RLC channel served by a mobile terminal (MT) of the second node,

wherein, in case that the backhaul RLC channel mapping information configures a first mapping in a downlink direction, the backhaul RLC channel mapping information comprises an ingress backhaul RLC channel identifier associated with the second backhaul RLC channel, and

wherein, in case that the backhaul RLC channel mapping information configures a second mapping in an uplink direction, the backhaul RLC channel mapping information comprises an egress backhaul RLC channel identifier associated with the second backhaul RLC channel.

10 . The first node of claim 9 , wherein the UE context configuration request message further comprises Quality of Service (QOS) related information of the first backhaul RLC channel.

11 . The first node of claim 9 ,

wherein the UE context configuration request message is a UE context setup request message and the UE context configuration response message is a UE context setup response message, or

wherein the UE context configuration request message is a UE context modification request message and the UE context configuration response message is a UE context modification response message.

12 . The first node of claim 9 ,

wherein the first node comprises a centralized unit of a donor node; and

wherein the second node comprises at least one of a DU of the donor node, or a DU of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node.

13 . A second node in a wireless communication system, the second node comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a first node via the transceiver, a user equipment (UE) context configuration request message comprising information on at least one backhaul Radio Link Control (RLC) channel to be setup including identification information of a first backhaul RLC channel associated with a distributed unit (DU) of the second node and backhaul RLC channel mapping information for the first backhaul RLC channel, and

transmit, to the first node via the transceiver, a UE context configuration response message in response to the UE context configuration request message,

wherein the backhaul RLC channel mapping information indicates a mapping relation between the first backhaul RLC channel and a second backhaul RLC channel served by a mobile terminal (MT) of the second node,
