Base Station Coordinated Synchronization Block Transmissions in Integrated Access and Backhaul Network
An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node that communicates over a radio interface, the IAB node comprising: receiving circuity configured to receive first bitmap information used for indicating which synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) is transmitted in a SS/PBCH block transmission(s), the receiving circuity configured to receive second information used for indicating whether the SS/PBCH transmission is muted or not, and transmitting circuitry configured to perform, based on the first bitmap information and the second information, the SS/PBCH transmission(s).
1 . An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node that communicates over a radio interface, the IAB node comprising:
receiving circuity configured to receive first bitmap information used for indicating which synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) is transmitted in a SS/PBCH block transmission(s),
the receiving circuity configured to receive second information used for indicating whether the SS/PBCH transmission is muted or not, and transmitting circuitry configured to perform, based on the first bitmap information and the second information, the SS/PBCH transmission(s).
2 . The IAB node of claim 1 , wherein
the SS/PBCH block is used for a measurement by an IAB node in a case that the SS/PBCH block is transmitted in the SS/PBCH transmission(s).
3 . An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) donor that communicates over a radio interface, the IAB donor comprising:
transmitting circuity configured to transmit first bitmap information used for indicating which synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) is transmitted in a SS/PBCH block transmission(s),
the transmitting circuity configured to transmit second information used for indicating whether the SS/PBCH transmission is muted or not.
4 . The IAB donor of claim 3 , wherein
the SS/PBCH block is used for a measurement by an IAB node in a case that the SS/PBCH block is transmitted in the SS/PBCH transmission(s).
5 . A method of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node that communicates over a radio interface, the method comprising:
receiving first bitmap information used for indicating which synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) is transmitted in a SS/PBCH block transmission(s),
receiving second information used for indicating whether the SS/PBCH transmission is muted or not, and
transmitting circuitry configured to perform, based on the first bitmap information and the second information, the SS/PBCH transmission(s).
The method of claim 5 , wherein
the SS/PBCH block is used for a measurement by an IAB node in a case that the SS/PBCH block is transmitted in the SS/PBCH transmission(s).
7 . A method of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) donor that communicates over a radio interface, the method comprising:
transmitting first bitmap information used for indicating which synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) is transmitted in a SS/PBCH block transmission(s), transmitting second information used for indicating whether the SS/PBCH transmission is muted or not.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein
the SS/PBCH block is used for a measurement by an IAB node in a case that the SS/PBCH block is transmitted in the SS/PBCH transmission(s).
