Abstract

A method performed by an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a base station, configuration information regarding an uplink (UL) grant, receiving, from the base station, configuration information regarding backhaul (BH) radio link control (RLC) channel via higher layer signaling, identifying, based on the configuration information regarding BH RLC channel, whether an extended logical channel identifier (eLCID) is used, in case that the eLCID is not used and a UL grant size is equal to or larger than a first size, not transmitting only a padding buffer status report (BSR) or not transmitting only padding or not transmitting only the padding BSR and the padding, and in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is equal to or larger than a second size, not transmitting only the padding BSR or not transmitting only the padding or not transmitting only the padding BSR and the padding.

Claims (48)

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

receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with a backhaul (BH) radio link control (RLC) channel via a higher layer signaling; and

identifying, based on the configuration information associated with the BH RLC channel, whether an extended logical channel identifier (eLCID) is configured,

wherein in case that the eLCID is not used and an uplink (UL) grant size is equal to or larger than a first size, while data for transmission is available, only a padding buffer status report (BSR) and/or a padding is not transmitted,

wherein in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is equal to or larger than a second size, while the data for transmission is available, only a padding BSR and/or a padding is not transmitted, and

wherein the second size is greater than the first size.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in case that the eLCID is not used and the UL grant size is less than the first size, while the data for transmission is available, transmitting only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is less than the second size, while the data for transmission is available, transmitting only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first size is 8 bytes and the second size is 10 bytes.

5. An integrated access backhaul (IAB) node in a wireless communication system, the IAB node comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information associated with a backhaul (BH) radio link control (RLC) channel via a higher layer signaling; and

identify, based on the configuration information associated with the BH RLC channel, whether an extended logical channel identifier (eLCID) is configured,

wherein in case that the eLCID is not used and an uplink (UL) grant size is equal to or larger than a first size, while data for transmission is available, only a padding buffer status report (BSR) and/or a padding is not transmitted,

wherein in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is equal to or larger than a second size, while the data for transmission is available, only a padding BSR and/or a padding is not transmitted, and

wherein the second size is greater than the first size.

6. The IAB node of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

in case that the eLCID is not used and the UL grant size is less than the first size, while the data for transmission is available, transmit only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

7. The IAB node of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is less than the second size, while the data for transmission is available, transmit only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

8. The IAB node of claim 5 , wherein the first size is 8 bytes and the second size is 10 bytes.

9. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node, configuration information associated with a backhaul (BH) radio link control (RLC) channel via a higher layer signaling, the configuration information associated with the BH RLC channel including information associated with a logical channel identifier (LCID) or information associated with an extended LCID (eLCID),

wherein, in case that the eLCID is not used and an uplink (UL) grant size is equal to or larger than a first size, while data for reception is available, only a padding buffer status report (BSR) and/or a padding is not received,

wherein, in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is equal to or larger than a second size, while the data for reception is available, only a padding BSR and/or a padding is not received, and

wherein the second size is greater than the first size.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

in case that the eLCID is not used and the UL grant size is less than the first size, while the data for reception is available, receiving only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is less than the second size, while the data for reception is available, receiving only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first size is 8 bytes and the second size is 10 bytes.

13. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node, configuration information associated with a backhaul (BH) radio link control (RLC) channel via a higher layer signaling, the configuration information associated with the BH RLC channel including information associated with a logical channel identifier (LCID) or information associated with an extended LCID (eLCID),

wherein, in case that the eLCID is not used and an uplink (UL) grant size is equal to or larger than a first size, while data for reception is available, only a padding buffer status report (BSR) and/or a padding is not received,

wherein, in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is equal to or larger than a second size, while the data for reception is available, only a padding BSR and/or a padding is not received, and

wherein the second size is greater than the first size.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

in case that the eLCID is not used and the UL grant size is less than the first size, while the data for reception is available, receive only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

in case that the eLCID is used and the UL grant size is less than the second size, while the data for reception is available, receive only a padding BSR and/or a padding.

16. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the first size is 8 bytes and the second size is 10 bytes.

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving configuration information associated with a UL grant.
