Abstract: Present disclosure provides techniques for migrating integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes from the source centralized unit (CU) to a target IAB-donor-CU of a base station. Features of the present disclosure achieve such migration by configuring the IAB distributed unit (IAB-DU)to establish F1-connection (F1-C) with the target IAB-donor-CU via the source path before the user equipment (UE) context transfer occurs. To this end, the source IAB-donor-CU may initiate an F1-C establishment between IAB-node DU and target IAB-donor-CU. The source IAB-donor-CU may do so by acting or presenting as an IAB-node-DU proxy to the target IAB-donor-CU. At the same time, the source IAB-donor-CU may act or present as a target-IAB-donor-CU proxy to the IAB-node-DU. Thus, in some cases, the source IAB-donor-CU may present as both the IAB-node-DU proxy (to the target IAB-donor-CU) and as a target-IAB-donor-CU proxy (to the IAB-node-DU).

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station distributed unit (DU) may configure a report that identifies a transmission timing within a radio frame for transmission of one or more cell-defining synchronization signal blocks (CD-SSBs) in a serving cell of the base station DU. The base station DU may transmit the report to a base station control unit. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to receiving, by a mobile termination (MT) function of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a first indication to migrate from a first IAB donor node associated with a first cell group and a first central unit (CU) to a second IAB donor node associated with a second cell group and a second CU, performing, by the IAB node and based at least in part on receiving the first indication, a first random access procedure to connect to the second cell group associated with the second IAB donor node, establishing, by the IAB node in addition to a first distributed unit (DU) function of the IAB node that serves a third cell group and based on performing the first random access procedure, a second DU function that serves a fourth cell group.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to sharing channel occupancy time (COT) for a channel in an unlicensed 5G spectrum in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network are provided. In some aspects, an IAB node of the IAB network may perform a channel access procedure to acquire the COT and share the COT with a parent IAB node and/or a child IAB node for the parent IAB node and/or child IAB node for the parent IAB node and/or child IAB node to share, or use the COT for communication, with a third IAB node different from the COT-initiating IAB node.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for receiving a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) comprising at least a set of guard symbol values associated with a mobile termination (MT) and a distributed unit (DU), transitioning from first communication via one or more MT cells associated with the MT to second communication via one or more DU cells associated with the DU or from the second communication via the one or more DU cells associated with the DU to the first communication via the one or more MT cells associated with the MT during at least a guard symbol signaled by a guard symbol value of the set of guard symbol values; and transmitting or receiving information via the transitioned one or more MT cells or the transitioned one or more DU cells.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a child node may receive a message, from a serving or neighboring cell, that includes an indication of an intended time division duplex (TDD) configuration for the serving or neighboring cell. The indication may include downlink and uplink indicators for at least one slot used within the intended TDD configuration. Accordingly, the child node may determine a symbol to use within a TDD configuration for the child node, based at least in part on receiving the message. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first network node may transmit, to a second network node, a request for one or more intended time division duplex (TDD) configurations for one or more cells associated with at least one of the second network node or a third network node. Accordingly, the first network node may receive, from the second network node, an indication of the one or more intended TDD configurations. In some aspects, a first network node may receive, from a second network node, a request for one or more intended TDD configurations for one or more cells associated with at least one of the first network node or a third network node. Accordingly, the first network node may transmit, to the second network node, an indication of the one or more intended TDD configurations. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a repeater may steer a narrow beam in a plurality of directions in a time sequence according to a beam sweep pattern, and retransmit one or more communications between a base station and one or more user equipments (UEs) using at least the narrow beam in the beam sweep pattern. A base station may determine a beam sweep pattern of the repeater based at least in part on feedback from the UEs. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a repeater may determine a forwarding direction for a set of resources based at least in part on time division duplexing (TDD) information associated with the set of resources. The forwarding direction may indicate a direction associated with forwarding signals carried in the set of resources. The repeater may receive a signal in the set of resources, the signal being provided by a first wireless communication device. The repeater may selectively forward the signal to a second wireless communication device based at least in part on the determined forwarding direction. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may receive a parent knowledge message, the parent knowledge message indicating whether a parent IAB node of the child IAB node has received an optional signaling message, determining to transition between first resources and second resources at a transition time, the first resources being associated with use of a mobile termination of the child IAB node, the second resources being associated with use of the distributed unit of the child IAB node, and determine a number of guard symbols provided by the parent IAB node at the transition time based on whether the parent knowledge message indicates that the parent IAB node has received the optional signaling message.
