Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A first node in a wireless communication network, the first node comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor operably coupled with the transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
receive, by controlling the transceiver, a data packet;
receive, by controlling the transceiver, a routing information from an integrated access backhaul (IAB) donor node;
receive, by controlling the transceiver, a mapping information from the IAB donor node:
determine a next hop for the data packet, based on a BAP address of the next hop comprised in the routing information;
determine an egress RLC channel on which to transmit the data packet from among a plurality of egress RLC channels, based on the mapping information including the BAP address of the next hop, an ID of at least one ingress RLC channel and an ID of at least one egress RLC channel; and
transmit, by controlling the transceiver, the data packet on the egress RLC channel to the next hop.
