Accordingly, only cases A, B, C and/or D (
That is, when a TDM pattern indicating a link that can be used for each timing period is present, this TDM pattern can be composed of a plurality of time durations and LP, LC, LA or LC+LA can be transmitted in each time duration. This TDM pattern can be configured by a parent node or a donor node through higher layer signaling.
2. Option B. Support of SDM/FDM of LP and LC/LA
For flexible and efficient resource utilization in cases E, F and Gin
Since timing case 2 needs to be supported in order to multiplex LP and LC/LA in the same time duration, all or some of cases A to G may need to be supported in NR IAB and timing case 2 can be applied.
Alternatively, timing case 1 can be applied to a time duration in cases A to D and timing case 2 can be applied to a time duration in cases E to G.
3. Option C. TDM of LP/LC and LA
In view of a UE, it may be desirable to have an access link timing independent from a backhaul timing.
