IAB MULTI-PARENT UPLINK-DOWNLINK ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18559888 titled 'IAB MULTI-PARENT UPLINK-DOWNLINK ALIGNMENT
The abstract describes a method performed by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in dual connectivity, where an IAB-MT is connected to two IAB parents and two IAB donors. The method involves obtaining a semi-static flexible resource configuration from an IAB donor, obtaining uplink/downlink resource indications from two IAB parents, determining conflicts between the resource indications, selecting one based on parent priorities, and communicating with the parents accordingly.

Original Abstract Submitted
According to some embodiments, a method is performed by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in dual connectivity where an IAB-MT is connected to two IAB parents and two IAB donors. The method comprises: obtaining () a semi-static flexible resource configuration from an IAB donor; obtaining () a first uplink/downlink resource indication for a semi-statically configured flexible resource from a first IAB parent and a second uplink/downlink resource indication from a second IAB parent; obtaining () a priority associated with the first IAB parent and a priority associated with the second IAB parent; determining () the first and second uplink/downlink resource indications conflict; selecting () one of the first and second uplink/downlink resource indications based on the priority associated with the first and second IAB parents; and communicating () with the two IAB parents according to the selected uplink/downlink resource indication.
