IAB MULTI-PARENT UPLINK-DOWNLINK ALIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240237108 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 in the resource indications, selecting one based on priority, and communicating with the parents accordingly.

  • The method involves managing resources in a dual connectivity setup with multiple IAB parents and donors.
  • It includes obtaining resource configurations from donors and resource indications from parents.
  • Priorities associated with parents are considered in resolving conflicts in resource indications.
  • The method ensures efficient communication by selecting the appropriate resource indication based on priority.
  • This approach optimizes resource allocation and enhances overall network performance.
      1. Potential Applications:

This technology can be applied in 5G networks, especially in scenarios where dual connectivity is utilized for improved coverage and capacity.

      1. Problems Solved:

- Efficient resource management in dual connectivity setups. - Resolving conflicts in resource indications from multiple parents. - Optimizing communication with IAB parents for better network performance.

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.
