Opportunistic communications in integrated access and backhaul
Efficient opportunistic communications in integrated access and backhaul (IAB) frameworks are provided allowing scheduling nodes and scheduled nodes to communicate within an allocated set of resources based on a different configuration than for non-opportunistic communications using a different set of resources. An additional set of available resources may be allocated for coordinated communications between a parent IAB-node and the child IAB-node. Resources within this available set are associated with a first configuration, and when prior coordination exists, the parent IAB-node and child IAB-node may communicate based on this first configuration over this available set of resources. However, when prior coordination does not exist, the parent IAB-node and child IAB-node may opportunistically communicate over the allocated set of resources based on a second configuration different than the first configuration. Using different configurations, power may be conserved and resources managed more efficiently in opportunistic communications where unsuccessful transmissions may be more likely.
