Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for wireless communications at an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, comprising:
a processing system configured to:
establish a first wireless role and a second wireless role for the IAB node, the first wireless role being a mobile termination role, and the second wireless role being a distributed unit role;
perform a first channel sensing procedure and a second channel sensing procedure at the IAB node, the first channel sensing procedure being for the first wireless role and the second channel sensing procedure being for the second wireless role, wherein the first channel sensing procedure is different from the second channel sensing procedure; and
initiate a channel occupancy time (COT) at the IAB node for the first wireless role in accordance with the first channel sensing procedure or for the second wireless role in accordance with the second channel sensing procedure, or both; and

a first interface configured to:
output signaling for transmission during the COT via at least one of the first wireless role or the second wireless role.
