Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node comprises a set of plural communication circuitries. Each communication circuitry of the set is configured to perform wireless communications with at one or plural other IAB nodes. The IAB node comprises processor circuitry and transmitter circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to obtain, from a configuration command, an indication whether to generate a power report pertaining to all communication circuitries of the set or a subset of the plural communication circuitries, and to generate the power report in accordance with the indication. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit the power report to the parent IAB node.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node comprising: a plurality of communication circuitries, each communication circuitry of the plurality of communication circuitries being configured to perform wireless communications with one or more other IAB nodes; processor circuitry configured to: obtain an indication of transmission power of a distributed unit included in a configuration command received by one of the plurality of communication circuitries from a parent IAB node; transmitter circuitry configured to determine the transmission power of the distributed unit of the IAB node; and a mobile termination (MT) unit including functions of a user equipment (UE), wherein the transmission power of the distributed unit is received in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and a transmission power report of the distributed unit is transmitted to the parent IAB node.
