Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.

Claims (33)

1. A method performed by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB system, the method comprising:

detecting a radio link failure (RLF) for a backhaul link with a parent IAB node of the IAB node;

performing a RLF recovery for the backhaul link; and

transmitting, to a child IAB node of the IAB node, a BAP (backhaul adaptation protocol) Control PDU (protocol data unit) including an RLF indication for the backhaul link, in case that the RLF recovery fails,

wherein a link in which the BAP Control PDU including the RLF indication for the backhaul link is received is considered as a link in which RLF has occurred in case that the RLF indication for the backhaul link is received by the child IAB node.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RLF is detected by the child IAB node based on receiving the RLF indication for the backhaul link.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the BAP Control PDU is transmitted based on a BAP layer signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RLF recovery comprises radio resource control (RRC) reestablishment or RLF recovery.

5. A method performed by a child integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB system, the method comprising:

receiving, from an IAB node on a link, a BAP (backhaul adaptation protocol) Control PDU (protocol data unit) including a radio link failure (RLF) indication for a backhaul link between the IAB node and a parent IAB node of the IAB node, in case that a RLF recovery for the backhaul link fails; and

identifying the link in which RLF has occurred in case that the RLF indication for the backhaul link is received by the child IAB node.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

detecting the RLF based on receiving the RLF indication for the backhaul link.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the BAP Control PDU is transmitted based on a BAP layer signal, and

wherein the RLF recovery comprises radio resource control (RRC) reestablishment or RLF recovery.

8. An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB system, the IAB node comprising:

a transceiver, and

a controller configured to:

detect a radio link failure (RLF) for a backhaul link with a parent IAB node of the IAB node;

perform a RLF recovery for the backhaul link; and

transmit, to a child IAB node of the IAB node, a BAP (backhaul adaptation protocol) Control PDU (protocol data unit) including an RLF indication for the backhaul link, in case that the RLF recovery fails,

wherein a link in which the BAP Control PDU including the RLF indication for the backhaul link is received is considered as a link in which RLF has occurred in case that the RLF indication for the backhaul link is received by the child IAB node.

9. The IAB node of claim 8 , wherein the RLF is detected by the child IAB node based on receiving the RLF indication for the backhaul link.

10. The IAB node of claim 8 , wherein the BAP Control PDU is transmitted based on a BAP layer signal.

11. The IAB node of claim 8 , wherein the RLF recovery comprises radio resource control (RRC) reestablishment or RLF recovery.

12. A child integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB system, the child IAB node comprising:

a transceiver, and

a controller configured to:

receive, from an IAB node on a link, a BAP (backhaul adaptation protocol) Control PDU (protocol data unit) including a radio link failure (RLF) indication for a backhaul link between the IAB node and a parent IAB node of the IAB node, in case that a RLF recovery for the backhaul link fails; and

identifying the link in which RLF has occurred in case that the RLF indication for the backhaul link is received by the child IAB node.

13. The child IAB node of claim 12 , wherein the controller is further configured to detect the RLF based on receiving the RLF indication for the backhaul link.

14. The child IAB node of claim 12 , wherein the BAP Control PDU is transmitted based on a BAP layer signal.

15. The child IAB node of claim 12 , wherein the RLF recovery comprises radio resource control (RRC) reestablishment or RLF recovery.
