Abstract
An apparatus of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory. To configure the IAB node for time-domain resource management within an IAB network, the processing circuitry is to detect that a time-domain resource assigned to a child communication link of the IAB node is available. An uplink message is encoded for transmission by a mobile terminal (MT) function of the IAB node to a parent IAB node. The uplink message indicates availability of the time-domain resource for a parent backhaul link between the IAB node and the parent IAB node. A downlink message from the parent IAB node is decoded. The downlink message is received via the parent backhaul link and using the time-domain resource.
