Abstract: In some aspects, a node may configure whether a set of soft time resources is to be conditionally released or unconditionally released. The set of soft time resources may be configurable in a schedulable state or a non-schedulable state. The set of soft time resources may be schedulable subject to at most a directionality constraint when unconditionally released and, when conditionally released, being schedulable subject to: the directionality constraint and one or more conditions other than the directionality constraint if the set of soft resources is configured subject to the directionality constraint, or at least one of the directionality constraint or the one or more conditions other than the directionality constraint if the set of soft resources is not configured subject to the directionality constraint. The node may transmit a configuration that indicates whether the set of soft time resources is conditionally released or unconditionally released in the schedulable state.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a node in a multi-hop network may receive a configuration for a notification signal, wherein the configuration indicates a receive (RX) resource to be used by the node to monitor for the notification signal and a transmit (TX) resource to be used by the node to transmit the notification signal, wherein the RX resource and the TX resource are included in a time period that also includes one or more other RX resources and one or more other TX resources to be used by one or more other nodes in the multi-hop network for the notification signal. The node in a multi-hop network may refrain from transmitting or receiving in any resources within the time period except for the RX resource and the TX resource. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a node in a multi-hop network may receive a configuration that indicates a first set of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) resources dedicated to PDCCH monitoring by the node, a second set of PDCCH resources dedicated to PDCCH transmission by the node, and a third set of PDCCH resources permitted to be configured for either PDCCH monitoring by the node or PDCCH transmission by the node. The node in a multi-hop network may configure a resource of the third set of PDCCH resources for one of PDCCH monitoring or neither PDCCH monitoring nor PDCCH transmission based at least in part on an initial state associated with the resource. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: An access node may monitor for uplink and downlink resource release indications signaled by a parent access node and a child access node prior to scheduling a released resource. In some cases (e.g., when the child node is capable of half-duplex communications), the parent access node may determine to release a resource, and the child access node may determine to release a hard resource (e.g., a child node controlled resource). Receiving uplink and downlink resource release indications may enable the access node to schedule communication with the child node via a soft resource (e.g., a parent node controlled resource). Other aspects of the described techniques are directed to feedback support for a slot format indicator (SFI). The feedback from the access node may accept or reject the SFI based on an impact the SFI has on scheduling via a child link established with a child node of the access node.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a first IAB node determining an adjustment to at least one parameter corresponding to a cell coverage of the first IAB node based at least in part on a geographic proximity of a cell relative to the first IAB node. For example, the first IAB node may determine to adjust the parameters based reference signal measurements, signal quality measurements (e.g., received from child nodes or user equipments (UEs)), etc. In another example, the first IAB node may receive an instruction from a central unit (CU) of the IAB network to adjust the at least one parameter. The first access node may transmit an indication of the adjustment to the at least one parameter. For example, the first access node may signal the adjustments to the CU, child IAB nodes, UEs and/or, other IAB nodes.

Abstract: Generally, the described techniques provide for a device determining or receiving signaling including a packet delivery time window configuration that indicates delivery windows within which transmissions may be held and/or delivery opportunities within which communications are expected to be transmitted. For example, the device may identify a packet delivery time window configuration for communications with another device. The packet delivery window configuration may indicate a periodicity, offset, start time, end time, and/or duration of the delivery windows, among other information. Based on the identified packet delivery time window configuration, the device may delay transmission of the data packet (e.g., for the duration of one or more configured delivery windows). At, for example, the end of the respective delivery window, the device may deliver the data packet to a network device for which the information of the data packet is to be used.

Abstract: An intermediary base station supporting mobile terminal (MT) functionality and/or a user equipment (UE) may receive a time alignment (TA) command and associated timer value from one or more distributed units (DUs) and/or a central unit (CU) of a parent base station. The TA command and timer value may be based on an experienced or potential timer expiration associated with a TA of a communication link. The TA command may specify an updated TA value and a timer reset for scheduling communications on the communication link. In some examples, the TA command may be in response to a TA command request provided by the MT or UE on allocated resources or configurations indicated by the parent base station. In other cases, the TA command may be in response to a random access procedure on allocated resources or configurations indicated by the parent base station.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, by the UE, a first transmission on a beam over a radio frequency spectrum during a first time interval. The first transmission includes an indication of a subsequent physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission on the beam. The indication includes information about a PDCCH in a second time interval subsequent to the first time interval. The method also includes configuring a power saving state of the UE based at least in part on the indication. A method for wireless communication at a network access device includes transmitting the first transmission to at least one UE, and transmitting the PDCCH during the second time interval.

Abstract: A relay node supporting mobile terminal (MT) functionality and distributed unit (DU) functionality may receive a timing advance (TA) value for uplink synchronization associated with a timing alignment timer from a parent node. In some cases, the timing alignment timer may expire prior to the relay node receiving a next TA value. Upon expiration of the timing alignment timer, the relay node may initiate a second timer (e.g., a transition timer) associated with the transitioning of a DU entity of the relay node to a DU transition state. The DU transition state is associated with certain DU behavior for serving child nodes while the transition timer is active. Configuration of the DU transition state may be identified by the relay node, or received from a parent node. In cases where the transition timer expires prior to receiving a next TA value, the DU may declare a loss of uplink synchronization.

Abstract: A base station central unit (CU) may receive a measurement report from one or more user equipments (UEs). The CU may identify a scheduling plan indication (SPI) for one or more scheduling nodes in a network, based at least in part on the received measurement reports. The SPI may specify a pattern of scheduling states, over a period of time, to be used by the one or more scheduling nodes to schedule communication resources for one or more UEs in the network. The scheduling states may (e.g., based on an interference profile determined from the received measurement reports) specify UEs or other communication resources for transmission scheduling decisions made by the scheduling nodes, or may specify beam patterns for beamforming procedures performed by the scheduling nodes. In some cases, the scheduling nodes may identify tentative SPIs, which the CU may pass amongst other scheduling nodes for distributed scheduling coordination schemes.
