    Abstract: One or more methods for an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) wireless network. At least one of the methods includes determining, by an IAB node including a mobile termination (MT) block and a co-located distributed unit (DU) block, two slot format indications (SFIs) by configuring the co-located DU block, the two SFIs indications including a first SFI that indicates a resource availability for communicating with a parent node and a second SFI that indicates a soft resource availability for communicating with a child node, in which each of the two SFIs include at least one RRCconfigured slot formats; and transmitting the two SFI indications to a second DU block.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs for communicating new random access channel (RACH) configurations for a node in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message from the IAB node; determining, based on the RRC message, a new random access channel (RACH) configuration; and in response to determining the new RACH configuration, initiating a random access procedure with the IAB node using the new RACH configuration.

    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be employed within a base station. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to obtain channel information and data information for a user equipment (UE) device, determine control information for the UE device based on the obtained channel information and data information, generate a channel format for the determined control information and having varied subband sizes, and provide the channel format to the RF interface for a downlink transmission to the UE device.is configured to be employed within a base station.

    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a wireless personal-area network (PAN) underlying a cellular wide-area network (WAN). The PAN includes a wearable user equipment (UE-W) and a user equipment aggregation node (UE-AN). The UE-W includes processing circuitry to process data for communication with a network of the WAN through the UE-AN, and radio interface circuitry to communicate with the UE-AN through a first air interface. The UE-AN includes processing to process data for communication between the network of the WAN and the UE-W, and radio interface circuitry to communicate with the network of the WAN through the first air interface and with the UE-W through a second air interface. The UE-W and the UE-AN can share a network credential, appearing as a single device to the WAN.
