IAB-NODE DEVICE, IAB-DONOR DEVICE AND TOPOLOGY REVOKING METHOD
An IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul)-donor device, applicable to first donor-CU, includes: a receiver configured to receive a first message transmitted by second donor-CU for migrating a transmission path of a traffic of an IAB node from the second donor-CU back to the first donor-CU; and a transmitter configured to transmit a path migration configuration for the traffic.
1 . An IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul)-donor device, applicable to first donor-CU, the device comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a first message transmitted by second donor-CU for migrating a transmission path of an uplink traffic of an IAB node from the second donor-CU back to the first donor-CU; and
a transmitter configured to transmit a path migration configuration for the uplink traffic to the IAB node.
2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein an IAB-DU (distributed unit) of the IAB-node maintains F1 connection with the first donor-CU.
3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first message contains an IP address anchored to a second donor-DU for a backhaul adaptation protocol address of a first donor-DU; and the IP addresses are used for F1 user plane data, F1 control plane data or non-F1 data of the IAB-node or its child node.
4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit configuration information to the second donor-CU, the configuration information being used for configuring replacing an IP address anchored to second donor-DU with an IP address anchored to first donor-DU, or being used for configuring replacing an IP address anchored to the second donor-DU with an IP address anchored to third donor-DU.
5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the path migration configuration of the traffic before or after an IAB-MT (mobile terminal) of the IAB-node is handed over from the second donor-CU back to the first donor-CU.
6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the path migration configuration of the traffic after an IAB-MT of the IAB-node is reestablished to the second donor-CU.
7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the IAB node is migrated from the second donor-CU back to the first donor-CU after being migrated from the first donor-CU to the second donor-CU, or,
an IAB-MT of the IAB-node establishes dual connection with the first donor-CU and the second donor-CU.
8 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein the first message is a handover request message for the IAB-MT to be handed over back to the first donor-CU.
9 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit a second message to the second donor-CU for the second donor-CU to send the first message.
10 . An IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul) node device, wherein a transmission path of its uplink traffic is migrated from second donor-CU back to first donor-CU, after being migrated from the first donor-CU to the second donor-CU, and the device comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a path migration configuration for the uplink traffic transmitted by the first donor-CU that is configured to receive a first message transmitted by the second donor-CU for migrating a transmission path of a traffic of an IAB node from the second donor-CU back to the first donor-CU; and
processor circuitry configured to apply the path migration configuration.
