Abstract
Systems, devices, and techniques for operating Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes are described. A described technique includes transmitting, by an IAB-node, first synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for access user equipment (UEs); and transmitting, by the IAB-node, second SSBs for inter-IAB-node discovery and measurement. The technique can include measuring, by the IAB-node, one or more third SSBs for inter-IAB-node discovery and measurement, and attaching to another IAB-node that is discovered based on the measuring.
