Claim 21:
22. An apparatus for wireless communications by a child node of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, comprising:
one or more processors individually or collectively configured to execute instructions stored on one or more memories and to cause the child node to:
determine synchronization signal block (SSB) resources used for periodic SSB transmissions by a parent node of the IAB network;
receive an indication of a measurement gap for performing SSB-based interference measurements from at least one of the parent node or a central unit (CU) of the TAB network, wherein the measurement gap corresponds to a time window during which a mobile terminal (MT) function of the child node is not scheduled by a distributed unit (DU) of the parent node;
use the determined SSB resources and the measurement gap to perform the SSB-based interference measurements; and
communicate, using a backhaul link, with at least one of the parent node of the IAB network or the CU of the IAB network based on the SSB-based interference measurements.
