In some aspects, the base station 110 includes means for configuring a 1-bit indicator to explicitly indicate the capability. In some aspects, the base station 110 includes means for configuring an indication of one or more cell identifiers associated with the base station 110 for which measurements associated with the MT of the first IAB node can be reused as CLI measurements for the DU of the second IAB node. In some aspects, the base station 110 includes means for configuring an indication of at least one of one or more beam directions supported by the MT of the first IAB node or one or more frequency bands supported by the MT of the first IAB node. In some aspects, the base station 110 includes means for configuring an indication of one or more SSB indices, associated with one or more cell identifiers, that correspond to one or more beam directions that can be supported by the MT of the first IAB node for measurements. In some aspects, the base station 110 includes means for configuring another indication of a capability to reuse measurements, of an MT of the second IAB node performed by the MT of the first IAB node, as CLI measurements for the DU of the second IAB node; and/or means for transmitting the other indication to the CU of the IAB donor.
