Method for configuring resource of IAB node, and device using method
The present disclosure relates to a method for configuring a resource of an IAB node, and a device using the method.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node including a mobile termination (MT) and a distributed unit (DU), resource configuration information, wherein the resource configuration information includes link directions of a MT resources for the IAB node, wherein the MT resources comprises MT uplink resources and MT downlink resources,
receiving, by the IAB node, guard symbol information through at least one of a cell-specific configuration and a MT-specific configuration; and
determining, by the IAB node, a guard resource for the MT resources based on the resource configuration information and the guard symbol information,
wherein based on the MT of the IAB node performing a switching from an uplink to a downlink, guard symbol information received through the cell-specific configuration is used and based on the MT of the IAB node performing a switching from a downlink to an uplink, guard symbol information received through the MT-specific configuration is used.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MT resources are resources related to a communication between the IAB node and a parent node of the IAB node.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource configuration information is cell-specific information.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IAB node does not perform a communication with a parent node of the IAB node on the guard resource.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the IAB node being configured to transmit or receive a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block on a guard symbol, the IAB node transmits or receives the SS/PBCH block on the guard symbol.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the IAB node being configured to receive a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) on a guard symbol, the IAB node receives the CSI-RS on the guard symbol.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the IAB node being configured to transmit a physical random access channel (PRACH) on a guard symbol, the IAB node transmits the PRACH on the guard symbol.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the IAB node being configured to transmit a scheduling request (SR) on a guard symbol, the IAB node transmits the SR on the guard symbol.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the guard resource is set periodically.
10. An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node including a mobile termination (MT) and a distributed unit (DU), the IAB node comprising:
at least one memory;
at least one transceiver; and
at least one processor operably connectable to the at least one transceiver and the at least one memory,
wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving resource configuration information, wherein the resource configuration information includes link directions of MT resources for the IAB node, wherein the MT resources comprises MT uplink resources and MT downlink resources,
receiving guard symbol information through at least one of a cell-specific configuration and a MT-specific configuration; and
determining a guard resource for the MT resources based on the resource configuration information and the guard symbol information,
wherein based on the MT of the IAB node performing a switching from an uplink to a downlink, guard symbol information received through the cell-specific configuration is used and based on the MT of the IAB node performing a switching from a downlink to an uplink, guard symbol information received through the MT-specific configuration is used.
11. The IAB node of claim 10 , wherein the IAB node communicates with at least one of a user equipment (UE), a network, and an autonomous vehicle other than the IAB node.
12. An apparatus configured to control an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node including a mobile termination (MT) and a distributed unit (DU), the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor operably connectable to the at least one memory,
wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving resource configuration information, wherein the resource configuration information includes link directions of mobile termination (MT) resources for the IAB node, wherein the MT resources comprises MT uplink resources and MT downlink resources,
receiving guard symbol information through at least one of a cell-specific configuration and a MT-specific configuration; and
determining a guard resource for the MT resources based on the resource configuration information and the guard symbol information,
wherein based on the MT of the IAB node performing a switching from an uplink to a downlink, guard symbol information received through the cell-specific configuration is used and based on the MT of the IAB node performing a switching from a downlink to an uplink, guard symbol information received through the MT-specific configuration is used.
