INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NODE RECOGNITION IN INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NETWORK
An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node that communicates over a radio interface, the IAB node comprising: transmitting circuitry configured to perform a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) transmission(s), wherein a first symbol index(es) of a time position(s) for a candidate(s) of a SS/PBCH block(s) is determined based on a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH and whether the SS/PBCH block transmission(s) is from an IAB donor or an IAB node.
1 . An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node that communicates over a radio interface, the IAB node comprising:
transmitting circuitry configured to perform a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) transmission(s), wherein
a first symbol index(es) of a time position(s) for a candidate(s) of a SS/PBCH block(s) is determined based on a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH and whether the SS/PBCH block transmission(s) is from an IAB donor or an IAB node.
2 . An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) donor that communicates over a radio interface, the IAB donor comprising:
transmitting circuitry configured to perform a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) transmission(s), wherein
a first symbol index(es) of a time position(s) for a candidate(s) of a SS/PBCH block(s) is determined based on a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH and whether the SS/PBCH block transmission(s) is from an IAB donor or an IAB node.
3 . A method of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node that communicates over a radio interface, the method comprising:
performing a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) transmission(s), wherein
a first symbol index(es) of a time position(s) for a candidate(s) of a SS/PBCH block(s) is determined based on a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH and whether the SS/PBCH block transmission(s) is from a IAB donor or an IAB node.
