Abstract

Embodiments include methods for an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node serving a cell in a wireless network. The IAB node can include an IAB distributed unit (IAB-DU) and an IAB mobile terminal (IAB-MT). Such methods include sending, to an IAB donor centralized unit (CU) in the wireless network, an indication of one or more simultaneous operation capabilities of the IAB-DU and the IAB-MIT and receiving from the IAB donor CU a multiplexing configuration based on the simultaneous operation capabilities. Such methods also include configuring one or more of the following for operation in the cell according to the received multiplexing configuration: one or more child IAB nodes; and one or more user equipment (UEs). Other embodiments include complementary methods for an IAB donor CU and a parent IAB node of the IAB node, as well as IAB nodes and IAB donor CUs configured to perform such methods.
