Abstract
An apparatus and system for beam indication in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) are described. A parent IAB distributed unit (DU) (IAB-DU) provides abeam restriction for restricting beams that a Mobile-Termination (MT) of a child IAB (IAB-MT) are not to use, an early physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) beam indication or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) beam indication, or an explicit beam indication for transmission of an IAB-MT-specific PDSCH or PUSCH by an IAB-DU collocated with the IAB-MT. Radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE), or downlink control information (DCI) contains the beam information.
