Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded thereon a program for performing each step of a method on a computer to control an integrated access and backhaul (IAB)-node, the method comprising:
wherein the IAB-node is a radio access network (RAN) node that supports access links to user equipment (UE) and backhaul links to parent nodes and child nodes,
wherein the IAB-node includes an IAB-distributed unit (DU) and an IAB-mobile terminal (MT),
wherein the IAB-MT is connected to a parent node from among the parent nodes via a first backhaul in an upstream direction,
wherein the IAB-DU is connected to a child node from among the child nodes via a second backhaul in a downstream direction,
receiving a detecting configuration and a report configuration via the first backhaul,
wherein the report configuration comprises a reporting destination informing the IAB-node of at least one parent node from among the parent nodes;
detecting a status of the second backhaul based on the detecting configuration; and
transmitting the status of the second backhaul based on the report configuration to the reporting destination via the first backhaul,
wherein the reporting destination is at least one of an IAB-donor, the parent node or all of the parent nodes.
