Abstract
Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for providing semi-static integrated access backhaul (IAB) resource configurations in an IAB network. For instance, a central unit (CU) of an IAB donor can provide, to a distributed unit (DU) of an IAB node, F1 application protocol (F1AP) signaling data indicative of a semi-static IAB resource configuration regarding at least one of downlink resources, uplink resources, or flexible resources. The semi-static IAB resource configuration indicates whether the at least one of downlink resources, uplink resources, or flexible resources are hard resources, soft resources, or not available resources. The CU can further provide, to a mobile termination (MT) of the IAB node, radio resource control (RRC) signaling data indicative of the semi-static IAB resource configuration.
