Tx/Rx timings applicable to each IAB node and a UE may be different according to whether the MT and DU can simultaneously operate. In other words, Tx/Rx timings of an IAB node and a UE can be determined by the type of a link scheduled in the same time duration. This will be described later in detail.
In the case of
In this case, Rx timings of LP,D and LC,U/LA,U need not be aligned because MT and DU do not simultaneously transmit/receive signals. Likewise, Tx timings of LP,U and LC,D/LA,D need not be aligned. Accordingly, transmission timings of all IAB nodes and donor nodes can be coordinated. Then, Tx and Rx timings with respect to each device can be determined as follows.
