Claim 0:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
transmitting, by an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) donor node to a plurality of IAB communication nodes comprising at least a first IAB communication node via one or more backhaul links, configuration information that is utilized by the first IAB communication node to transmit a discovery signal via a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) in order to be discovered by a second IAB communication node that is a neighbor of the first IAB communication node, wherein the configuration information comprises a subcarrier spacing, time-domain configuration information, and frequency-domain configuration information for transmitting the discovery signal, wherein the time-domain configuration information comprises a bitmap indicating a time-domain position for a transmission of the discovery signal and a transmission timing offset for the transmission of the discovery signal in number of half-frames such that the first IAB communication node is discoverable by the second IAB communication node, wherein the discovery signal from the first IAB communication node and a second discovery signal from the second IAB communication node are transmitted at different time domain positions based on the configuration information.
