    摘要: Systems and methods for landscape sensing using radio signals are provided. In some embodiments, a base station configured to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) comprises a radio interface and processing circuitry configured to: obtain a plurality of channel measurements relating to the UE; and determine a landscape type in which the UE is operating based on the plurality of channel measurements. In this way, the base station can infer the UE's landscape without the need for any new sensor or radar infrastructure requirements. In this way, the signaling need between BSs can be reduced. In some embodiments, smaller dimension input features will reduce the computational complexity so that it can be implemented on an embedded BS hardware.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for determining a muting pattern of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission for Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node measurement. In one embodiment, a network node is configured to indicate a first muting pattern, the indication of the first muting pattern indicating at least one first synchronization signal block, SSB, transmission opportunity associated with SSB transmission configuration, STC, that is mutable by an Integrated Access Backhaul, IAB, node. In one embodiment, a network node is configured to determine a first muting pattern, the first muting pattern indicating at least one SSB transmission opportunity associated with a STC that is mutable by the network node; and mute the at least one first SSB transmission opportunity according to the determined first muting pattern.

    摘要: Embodiments include methods for downlink (DL) transmission by a network node in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network. Such methods include receiving, from an upstream node in the network, first timing offset information related to communications between the network node and the upstream node. Such methods include transmitting a DL signal or channel, to one or more downstream nodes, based on a DL transmission timing for the network node. The DL transmission timing is determined from the network node's DL reception timing of signals or channels transmitted by the upstream node and a second function of the first timing offset information, which is determined based on a first function of the first timing offset information (when the first function is greater than a threshold) or on an alternate timing offset (when the first function is not greater than the threshold). Embodiments also include network nodes configured to perform such methods.

    摘要: Embodiments herein relate to a method, performed by a User Equipment (200), for handling radio resource management, RRM, measurements for the UE (200), on a carrier comprising a plurality of Synchronization Sequence Blocks, SSBs. The User Equipment receives, from a network node (160), an indication of a measurement object, MO, pointing to a frequency location of a primary SSB. The UE (120) further performs measurements on the primary SSB based on the indicated MO. Embodiments herein further relate to a method, performed by a network node (160), for handling RRM measurements for the UE (200), on a carrier comprising a plurality of SSBs. The network node (160) determines a primary SSB out of the plurality of SSBs on the carrier. The network node (160) further sends, to the UE (200), an indication of a MO pointing to a frequency location of the primary SSB.
