In the example flow shown in FIG. 15, as act 15-5 the Node A, e.g., IAB-node 24A, may detect an RLF on the upstream link, e.g., on wireless backhaul link 32. The condition on the wireless backhaul link 32 may be detected by the condition detector 80 of IAB-node 24A. The Node A may then send the Upstream RLF notification 42 to its child nodes/UEs, including the Child node 30. The condition notification 42 may be generated by notification generator 82. As optional act 15-7, Child node 30 may send back an acknowledgement. Moreover, due to the configured conditions, as act 15-8 the child node 30 may initiate a conditional handover to the configured target cell, e.g., in the example scenario, the cell served by IAB-node 24B, by performing a random access procedure. The random access procedure in which child node 30 participates comprises, as act 15-8, sending a Random Access Preamble message to IAB-node 24B and, as act 15-9, receiving a Random Access Response message from IAB-node 24B. Act 15-10 comprises the child node 30 sending a RRCReconfigurationComplete message to the donor of the target cell, e.g., Donor 2=wireless access node 22-2 via Node B=IAB-node 24B. As act 15-11 wireless access node 22-2 may use F1-AP* to update the routing configurations at the Node B for the Child Node 1, e.g., at IAB-node 24B for child node 30, and as act 15-12 may interact with wireless access node 22-1 to report the completion of the conditional handover. The wireless access node 22-1 may then release the resources saved for child node 30.
