Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses and methods for time-division duplex (TDD) for network controlled repeaters (NCRs). A method for an NCR includes identifying, by an NCR mobile termination (NCR-MT) entity, information for first TDD uplink-downlink (UL-DL) patterns for a first cell associated with an NCR control link (C-link) and information for second TDD UL-DL patterns for a second cell associated with an NCR backhaul link (BH-link). The method further includes receiving, by the NCR-MT entity on the NCR C-link, downlink signals or channels on the first cell in first downlink or flexible symbols or slots of the first TDD UL-DL patterns and receiving, by an NCR forwarding (NCR-Fwd) entity on the NCR BH-link, radio frequency signals on the second cell in second downlink or flexible symbols or slots of the second TDD UL-DL patterns. The first and second cells are associated with different carrier frequencies. The first and second TDD UL-DL patterns are different.
