    Abstract: An apparatus of an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory. To configure the IAB node for resource allocation within an IAB network, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a central unit (CU) function of an IAB donor node. The RRC signaling configures first time-domain resources for a parent backhaul link between a mobile termination (M) function of the IAB node and a distributed unit (DU) function of a parent IAB node, and second time-domain resources for a child backhaul link between a DU function of the IAB node and a MT function of a child IAB node. Uplink data is encoded for transmission to the parent IAB node based on the first time-domain resources. Downlink data is encoded for transmission to the child IAB node based on the second time-domain resources.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for conveying remote interference management information via a reference signal. For example, an interference management method may include receiving, at a first device, an interference signal from a second device. At the first device, a reference signal is generated, including mitigation information for remote interference management. The first device may transmit the reference signal to the second device. The method may further include receiving, at the first device, a mitigation response signal indicative of a level of mitigation undertaken by the second device based on the mitigation information that the first device transmitted.

    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods of configuring received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements to determine crosslink interferences (CLI). For instance, a user equipment (UE) can receive, using radio front-end circuitry, a RSSI resource configuration for CLI measurement from a base station in a 5G network. The UE can then measure a RSSI of one or more received signals based at least in part on the RSSI resource configuration. The UE can then perform one or more CLI measurements based at least in part on the measured RSSI. The RSSI resource configuration includes an identifier information element (IE), one or more slot-level indication IEs, one or more symbol-level indication IEs, one or more physical resource block (PRB)-level indication IEs, one or more resource element (RE) pattern indication IEs, and one or more receive beam indication IEs.

    Abstract: A device of a New Radio (NR) evolved Node B (gNodeB), a method and a machine readable medium to implement the method. The method includes: processing a first signal sent by a NR evolved NodeB (gNodeB) regarding a primary physical random access channel (PRACH) configuration to be used to encode for transmission a first communication to the gNodeB; processing a second signal sent by the gNodeB regarding a secondary PRACH configuration different from the primary PRACH configuration and to be used to encode for transmission a second communication to the gNodeB; determining the primary PRACH configuration from the first signal and the secondary PRACH from the second signal; and switching from the primary PRACH configuration to the secondary PRACH configuration and encode for transmission the second communication to the gNodeB based on the secondary PRACH configuration.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for determination of reference signal received power (RSRP) to estimate cross-link interference. The approach uses a received signal from a second UE and downlink (DL) timing information from a transmission reception point (TRP). The approach generates a corrected timing signal based on the received signal, the DL timing information and a reference sequence, and then extracts a symbol from the received signal and the corrected timing signal. The approach then transforms using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) circuit the symbol, and then cross-correlates with a reference sequence to generate a correlation result from which the RSRP is estimated.
