The apparatus 304 and the apparatus 306 include at least one communication device (represented by the communication device 320 and the communication device 326) for communicating with other nodes. For example, the communication device 326 may comprise a network interface (e.g., one or more network access ports) that is configured to communicate with one or more network entities via a wire-based or wireless backhaul connection. In some aspects, the communication device 326 may be implemented as a transceiver configured to support wire-based or wireless signal communication. This communication may involve, for example, sending and receiving: messages, parameters, or other types of information. Accordingly, in the example of
