Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for interference measurements based on a priority value in a network (e.g., an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) network). One example method generally includes determining, based on a priority level associated with each of a first wireless node, a second wireless node, or both, at least one configuration for communicating one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) between the first wireless node and the second wireless node, each of the first wireless node and the second wireless node being configured to serve one or more child nodes, wherein the at least one configuration comprises information enabling the first wireless node or the second wireless node to manage interference to communications. In some aspects, the method may also include transmitting the at least one configuration to at least one of the first wireless node or the second wireless node.

A resource management system includes a resource management device that manages a usage of a resource, a reservation management device that manages a reservation for the resource, and a communication relay device that communicates with the resource management device. The resource management device receives reservation information transmitted from the reservation management device. The reservation information is information on the reservation for the resource. The resource management device transmits, to the communication relay device, a request for identification information identifying the communication relay device. The resource management device receives the identification information, which is transmitted from the communication relay device in response to the request. The identification information is used to execute an event associated with the reservation information. The resource management device transmits, to an operation display terminal that displays a usage status of the resource, the identification information and a password that is associated with the identification information.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or a 6th generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate after a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as LTE. An operating method of a BS in a wireless communication system includes broadcasting a power signal of an IRS, broadcasting an SSB, and requesting receive beam reporting from a control unit of the IRS.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques allow a channel engineering device (CED) to identify a suitable configuration for deflecting uplink transmissions from a user equipment (UE) to a base station. The base station may transmit control signaling to the CED indicating multiple configurations for deflecting uplink reference signals. The UE may then transmit the uplink reference signals to the CED, and the CED may deflect the uplink reference signals using the indicated configurations. The base station may receive the uplink reference signals from the UE via the CED, and the base station may perform measurements on the uplink reference signals. The base station may then identify a configuration for the CED to use to deflect subsequent transmissions from the UE to the base station based on the measurements, and the base station may transmit an indication of the configuration to the CED.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for control information for a digitally controlled surface having reflective elements. One method (1300) includes transmitting (1302), from a first network device, a synchronization signal based on a control frame structure to a second network device including a digitally controlled surface having reflective elements. The method (1300) includes transmitting (1304) control information based on the control frame structure to a controller of the second network device. The control information is transmitted at least partly using a dedicated physical control channel, a sequence, and/or an on-off pattern.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a control node may receive, from a movable relay node, a capability message indicating a set of operational parameters for the movable relay node. The control node may determine a location for the movable relay node based on the capability message and may transmit, to the movable relay node, a location message indicating the determined location. The movable relay node may change locations or reconfigure one or more relay devices (e.g., reconfigurable intelligent surfaces) of the movable relay node based on the location message. Accordingly, the control node may use the movable relay node to relay messages between the control node and a second node, which may increase the likelihood of successful communications between the control node and the second node.

The apparatus may be a first device at a first RU (e.g., UE, base station, etc.). The first RU may be configured to receive, from a control unit, a configuration for relaying or repeating data received from a second RU to a receiving unit. The first RU may further be configured to determine whether first feedback associated with the data is received from the second RU. The first RU may also be configured to transmit second feedback to the receiving unit or the control unit, the second feedback including first information indicating at least one of the first feedback or whether the first feedback was received.

This disclosure provides an access method and a device. The method includes: sending an access request message to a second IAB node; and receiving an indication message sent by the second IAB node, where the indication message indicates that the second IAB node allows or prohibits access by the first IAB node, the indication message is determined by the second IAB node based on a reserved access resource and the access request message, and the second IAB node is a donor IAB node or a parent IAB node or a child IAB node of the first IAB node.

An apparatus is disclosed, the apparatus comprising a means for receiving selection of a relay system associated with a base station (10) of a communications network, the relay system comprising a first antenna (15) for substantially fixed orientation towards an antenna (12) of the base station and a second antenna (16) which is mechanically movable about one or more axes responsive to the control data to provide one of a range of possible orientations. The apparatus may also comprise a means for sending control data to the selected relay system for controlling the orientation of the second antenna, the control data comprising at least positioning instructions received from a node of the communications network for causing positioning of the second antenna to a particular orientation associated with a mobile target object (19).

A wireless communication system according to an embodiment includes: a wireless base station device configured to perform wireless communication of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) method; a plurality of dynamic control relay devices for which a reradiation direction of incoming waves is dynamically controllable by the wireless base station device; and a wireless terminal device configured to perform wireless communication with the wireless base station device using a plurality of propagation paths that go through or do not go through the dynamic control relay devices. When the wireless communication is performed between the wireless base station device and the wireless terminal device using the plurality of propagation paths that go through the dynamic control relay devices, second OFDM subcarrier spacing is used, the second OFDM subcarrier spacing being spacing that is narrower than first OFDM subcarrier spacing that is used when the wireless communication is performed using the plurality of propagation paths that do not go through the dynamic control relay devices.
