Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for dynamically adjusting the access link timing alignment at the integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. Specifically, features of the present disclosure provide techniques for signaling to one or more child nodes the timing advance and timing offset values associated with each operational mode of the IAB node that may impact the access link timing for the child node (for uplink and/or downlink transmissions). Additionally or alternatively, aspects of the present disclosure identify whether a gap period may be included in order to ensure that the child node has sufficient time to transition between states during the transition period (e.g., from downlink to uplink) when the IAB node dynamically adjusts the access link timing.

Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus providing a dual-function radar communication (DFRC) system a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is configured to have only a small number of its antennas active in each channel use. Probing waveforms are of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) type. OFDM carriers are divided into two groups, one group that is used by the active antennas in a shared fashion, and another group where each subcarrier is assigned to an active antenna in an exclusive fashion (e.g., private subcarriers). Target estimation is carried out based on the received and transmitted symbols. The system communicates information via the transmitted OFDM data symbols and the pattern of active antennas in a generalized spatial modulation (GSM) fashion. A multi-antenna communication receiver can identify the indices of active antennas via sparse signal recovery methods. The private subcarriers may be used to synthesize a virtual array for high angular resolution, and also for improved estimation on the active antenna indices.
