Claim 16:
17. A method for wireless communications by a central unit (CU) of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, comprising:
providing, using a backhaul link, a first node of the IAB network with an indication of synchronization signal block (SSB) resources used for periodic SSB transmissions by at least one cell associated with a second node of the IAB network; and
providing, to the first node, an indication of a measurement gap for performing SSB-based interference measurements, wherein:
the first node comprises a child node of the IAB network and the second node comprises a parent node of the IAB network, and 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, or
the first node comprises a parent node of the IAB network and the second node comprises a child node of the IAB network, and the measurement gap corresponds to a time window during which a mobile terminal (MT) function of the parent node is not scheduled by a distributed unit (DU) of a grandparent node.
