An integrated access and backhaul network is provided with network nodes that can establish timing synchronization with any other network nodes. In an embodiment, network nodes in a multi-hop integrated access and backhaul network have a hop order of n, wherein n represents a number of hops from a node connected to the core network via a wired connection. In an embodiment, instead of using the network node with a hop order of 0 as the timing synchronization reference for over-the-air synchronization, any network node can use any other network node as a synchronization reference. A relay node can first establish a wireless link to said arbitrary node. Said wireless link is then used to synchronize the relay or IAB node using a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) implementation.

A client terminal sends a signal to a wireless access device. The wireless access device receives the signal, determines channel state information corresponding to the client terminal according to identity information of the client terminal in the signal, and calculates data sent by the client terminal according to the channel state information and the signal. The client terminal sends a request signal for acquiring channel state information, wherein the request signal includes identity information of the client terminal. The wireless access device receives the request signal, obtains the channel state information corresponding to the client terminal according to the identity information of the client terminal in the request signal, and sends the obtained channel state information to the client terminal. The client terminal receives the channel state information and the signal and calculates the data sent to the client terminal according to the channel state information and the signal.

Systems and methods are described to enable a so-called ‘unified slice’, wherein the unified slice is technology-independent, i.e., constructed from different networking technologies, and spans multiple operators. The method provides an abstraction of a network slice and its segments, and a way to coordinate the end-to-end slice information collection, slice segment configuration and activation across multiple types of networks and operators. The system of invention has the task of coordinating configuration of an end-to-end slice, with user-specified slice parameters, by communicating with the respective slice managers; It receives information to generate an abstract model of each slice segment, and sends the required slice segment attributes to these slice managers so that they can activate the segment after translating them according to capabilities of their network technology.
