Claim 16:
17. A method for communications at a first wireless node in an integrated access backhaul system, comprising:
transmitting, from a mobile terminal of the first wireless node and via a first backhaul link, a report indicating that the first wireless node supports using sounding reference signals (SRSs) for interference measurement;
receiving, at the mobile terminal of the first wireless node and after transmission of the report, an indication of a configuration for interference measurement based at least in part on the report, the configuration indicating one or more SRS resource sets configured for interference measurement and a beam sweeping configuration for the SRSs, wherein the one or more SRS resource sets configured for interference measurement are different from one or more SRS resource sets configured for beam management;
monitoring, via a set of reception beams associated with a distributed unit of the first wireless node, the one or more SRS resource sets for the SRSs from a second wireless node in accordance with the beam sweeping configuration; and
performing, at the distributed unit associated with the first wireless node, the interference measurement on the SRSs based at least in part on the monitoring.
