IAB NODE CONFIGURATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18165095 titled 'IAB NODE CONFIGURATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for configuring an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. This method involves receiving information from a source IAB donor and sending configuration information to the source IAB donor. The configuration information is used to hand over an IAB node from the source donor to a target donor, and it includes details about the transmission direction of a time domain resource for the mobile terminal (MT) function.

  • The method involves configuring an IAB node for handover between source and target donors.
  • The configuration information includes details about the transmission direction of a time domain resource for the MT function.
  • The method enables seamless transfer of the IAB node from one donor to another.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication networks that use integrated access and backhaul nodes.
  • It can be used to improve the efficiency and reliability of handovers between different donors in the network.
  • The method can be implemented in various types of wireless communication systems, such as 5G networks.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently configuring and handing over an IAB node from one donor to another.
  • It addresses the challenge of maintaining uninterrupted communication during the handover process.
  • The method helps to optimize the allocation of time domain resources for the MT function.

Benefits

  • The method enables seamless handover of IAB nodes, ensuring uninterrupted communication for mobile terminals.
  • It improves the efficiency and reliability of handovers, leading to better overall network performance.
  • The method optimizes the allocation of time domain resources, enhancing the utilization of network resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node configuration method includes receiving, by a target IAB donor, first information from a source IAB donor. The method also includes sending, by the target IAB donor, first configuration information to the source IAB donor. The first configuration information is for handing over an IAB node from the source IAB donor to the target IAB donor. The IAB node includes a mobile terminal (MT) function and a distributed unit (DU) function. The first configuration information is based on the first information. The first configuration information indicates a transmission direction of a time domain resource configured by the target IAB donor for the MT function. The first information indicates one or more different types of information.
