Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 2:
3. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a first Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) communication node from an IAB donor node via a backhaul link, configuration information for transmitting 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 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; and
transmitting, by the first IAB communication node, the discovery signal according to the configuration information.
