Abstract
A network device obtains a Physical Layer Cell Identifier (PCI) pool for allocating to ad-hoc mobile Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes traversing a wireless network. The network device selects a first PCI for allocation to a first ad-hoc mobile IAB node located in the wireless network based on PCIs contained in the PCI pool, and allocates the first PCI to the first ad-hoc mobile IAB node. The network device pushes the allocated first PCI to the first ad-hoc mobile IAB node for use by the first ad-hoc mobile IAB node to establish User Equipment (UE) wireless access to the wireless network via wireless backhaul.
