Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for data transmission or reception performed by a first node in a wireless communication system, the method including: performing a first data transmission or reception to or from a UE on an access link on the basis of a first timing case in an access time duration; and performing a second data transmission or reception to or from a second node or a donor base station on a backhaul link on the basis of a second timing case in a backhaul time duration, wherein downlink transmission timings over the donor base station, the first node, the second node and the UE are aligned in the first timing case, and downlink and uplink transmission timings or downlink and uplink reception timings are aligned in the first node in the second timing case.

Claims (25)

1. A method for receiving information related to a slot format for an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) operation in a wireless communication system, the method performed by an IAB node and comprising:

receiving the information related to the slot format; and

performing the IAB operation according to the information,

wherein the information indicates the slot format for a single slot, which includes a plurality of symbols, used for performing the IAB operation,

wherein, based on the information, the plurality of symbols included in the single slot is configured from a uplink symbol period to a downlink symbol period, and

wherein, between the uplink symbol period and the downlink symbol period, a flexible symbol period is located.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a downlink operation is performed on the downlink symbol period or the flexible symbol period, and a uplink operation is performed on the uplink symbol period or the flexible symbol period.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IAB operation includes a distributed unit, DU, operation and a mobile terminal, MT, operation.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein information related to a slot format for the MT operation is different from information related to a slot format for the DU operation.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the MT operation of the IAB node is an operation related to a backhaul link between the IAB node and a parent node, and

wherein the DU operation of the IAB node is an operation related to a backhaul link between the IAB node and a child node or an operation related to an access link between the IAB node and a user equipment (UE).

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

a transceiver;

at least one memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one memory and the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive information related to a slot format; and

perform an IAB operation according to the information,

wherein the information indicates the slot format for a single slot, which includes a plurality of symbols, used for performing the IAB operation,

wherein, based on the information, the plurality of symbols included in the single slot is configured from a uplink symbol period to a downlink symbol period, and

wherein, between the uplink symbol period and the downlink symbol period, a flexible symbol period is located.

7. The IAB node of claim 6 , wherein a downlink operation is performed on the downlink symbol period or the flexible symbol period, and a uplink operation is performed on the uplink symbol period or the flexible symbol period.

8. The IAB node of claim 6 , wherein the IAB operation includes a distributed unit, DU, operation and a mobile terminal, MT, operation.

9. The IAB node of claim 8 , wherein information related to a slot format for the MT operation is different from information related to a slot format for the DU operation.

10. The IAB node of claim 8 , wherein the MT operation of the IAB node is an operation related to a backhaul link between the IAB node and a parent node, and

wherein the DU operation of the IAB node is an operation related to a backhaul link between the IAB node and a child node or an operation related to an access link between the IAB node and a user equipment (UE).
