Abstract
An IAB node comprises processor circuitry and interface circuitry. The processor circuitry is to generate a synchronization signal (SS)/primary broadcast channel (PBCH) Block Measurement time Configuration (SMTC) and to use an STC muting indication to moot STC(s) in the SMTC which is/are not to be transmitted. The SMTC comprises plural synchronization signal (SS)/primary broadcast channel (PBCH) Block Transmission Configurations (STCs), each STC comprising plural synchronization signal (SS)/primary broadcast channel (PBCH) blocks (SS/PBCHs). The interface circuitry is configured to transmit the SMTC as muted in accordance with the STC muting indication.
