Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, comprising:
a wireless communication radio front end module (RFEM) including one or more antennas; and
processing circuitry coupled to the wireless communication RFEM, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
receive a setting to transmit an in-raster synchronization signal block (SSB) and an off-raster SSB;
determine whether the setting indicates that the in-raster SSB and the off-raster SSB share the same control resource set (CORESET);
if the determining indicates that the same CORESET is shared, modify a bit pattern of a configuration table corresponding to the shared CORESET to add a configuration entry to support the off-raster SSB; and
broadcast the in-raster SSB and the off-raster SSB via the one or more antennas of the RFEM, wherein the in-raster SSB and the off-raster SSB include the modified bit pattern corresponding to the shared CORESET.
