US Patent 11930546 Mobile nodes in an integrated access backhaul network

Techniques are discussed herein for providing wireless communication services using mobile nodes in a cellular network, such as a 5G network. The mobile nodes may operate as Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes which are utilized to provide wireless backhaul links and access links in a 5G network. One or more mobile nodes may be wirelessly coupled to a base station node (which may also be referred to herein as a “wired node”), such as a gNodeB, that includes a wired connection to the core network. The wireless backhaul extends coverage to user equipment (UE) that are not directly connected to a gNodeB base station.
