DYNAMIC TIMING ADJUSTMENT FOR NEW RADIO INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055376 titled 'DYNAMIC TIMING ADJUSTMENT FOR NEW RADIO INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NODE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes techniques for dynamically adjusting the access link timing alignment at an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. These techniques involve signaling timing advance and timing offset values to child nodes, which can affect the access link timing for uplink and/or downlink transmissions. The disclosure also identifies the need for a gap period to ensure smooth transition between states during the adjustment of access link timing.

Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for dynamically adjusting the access link timing alignment at the integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. Specifically, features of the present disclosure provide techniques for signaling to one or more child nodes the timing advance and timing offset values associated with each operational mode of the TAB node that may impact the access link timing for the child node (for uplink and/or downlink transmissions). Additionally or alternatively, aspects of the present disclosure identify whether a gap period may be included in order to ensure that the child node has sufficient time to transition between states during the transition period (e.g., from downlink to uplink) when the TAB node dynamically adjusts the access link timing.
