Operating method for IAB node in wireless communication system, and apparatus using same
Provided are a method of operating an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node including a mobile terminal (MT) and a distributed unit (DU) in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus using the method. The method identifies a specific resource supporting the simultaneous operation of the MT and the DU, and according to a type of a first signal that the MT intends to communicate in the specific resource and a type of a second signal that the DU intends to communicate in the specific resource, a multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is determined.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node including a distributed unit (DU) and a mobile terminal (MT), first configuration information for configuring a resource for an operation of the MT;
receiving, by the IAB node, second configuration information for configuring a resource for an operation of the DU; and
identifying, by the IAB node, a specific resource supporting simultaneous operation of the MT and the DU based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information,
wherein based on a type of a first signal that the MT intends to communicate in the specific resource and a type of a second signal that the DU intends to communicate in the specific resource, a multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is determined,
wherein based on a signal related to a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmitted by the MT or a sounding reference signal (SRS) being included as the type of the first signal, the multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is i) a first multiplexing type operating with time division multiplexing (TDM) for all transmission/reception combinations of the MT and the DU or ii) a second multiplexing type operating with TDM for transmission of the MT,
wherein based on a synchronization signal or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) received by the MT being included as the type of the first signal, the multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is i) the first multiplexing type or ii) a third multiplexing type operating with TDM for reception of the MT; and
wherein a multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource and a multiplexing type to be applied to another resource located after the specific resource are different from each other.
2. An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node including a distributed unit (DU) and a mobile terminal (MT), the IAB node comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one memory; and
at least one processor operatively coupled with the at least one memory and the at least one transceiver,
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 first configuration information for configuring a resource for an operation of the MT;
receiving second configuration information for configuring a resource for an operation of the DU; and
identifying a specific resource supporting simultaneous operation of the MT and the DU based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information,
wherein based on a type of a first signal that the MT intends to communicate in the specific resource and a type of a second signal that the DU intends to communicate in the specific resource, a multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is determined,
wherein based on a signal related to a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmitted by the MT or a sounding reference signal (SRS) being included as the type of the first signal, the multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is i) a first multiplexing type operating with time division multiplexing (TDM) for all transmission/reception combinations of the MT and the DU or ii) a second multiplexing type operating with TDM for transmission of the MT,
wherein based on a synchronization signal or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) received by the MT being included as the type of the first signal, the multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is i) the first multiplexing type or ii) a third multiplexing type operating with TDM for reception of the MT, and
wherein a multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource and a multiplexing type to be applied to another resource located after the specific resource are different from each other.
3. A method, comprising:
transmitting, by a parent node to an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node including a distributed unit (DU) and a mobile terminal (MT), first configuration information for configuring a resource for an operation of the MT;
transmitting, by the parent node to the IAB node, second configuration information for configuring a resource for an operation of the DU; and
communicating, by the parent node, with the IAB node in a specific resource supporting simultaneous operation of the MT and the DU based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information,
wherein a multiplexing type applied to the specific resource is determined based on a type of a first signal that the MT intends to communicate in the specific resource and a type of a second signal that the DU intends to communicate in the specific resource,
wherein based on a signal related to a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmitted by the MT or a sounding reference signal (SRS) being included as the type of the first signal, the multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is i) a first multiplexing type operating with time division multiplexing (TDM) for all transmission/reception combinations of the MT and the DU or ii) a second multiplexing type operating with TDM for transmission of the MT,
wherein based on a synchronization signal or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) received by the MT being included as the type of the first signal, the multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource is i) the first multiplexing type or ii) a third multiplexing type operating with TDM for reception of the MT, and
wherein a multiplexing type to be applied to the specific resource and a multiplexing type to be applied to another resource located after the specific resource are different from each other.
