Abstract

There is disclosed a method of operating an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node (200, C, N3) in a wireless communication network, the IAB node being in a communication link with a second IAB node using a signaling beam, the IAB node further being scheduled to perform beam sweeping with a plurality of synchronisation beams, one of the synchronisation beams corresponding to the signaling beam; wherein a synchronisation beam is scheduled to carry synchronisation signaling; and wherein the method comprises performing beam sweeping such that the synchronisation beam corresponding to the signaling beam carries information signaling replacing the synchronisation signaling at least in part. The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.
