Abstract:
Various aspects related to using cellular RATs and/or features thereof for backhauling purposes are described. In an aspect, a solution to enable synchronization and establishing links among the ANs using available RATs with minimum modifications is provided. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus maybe a first AN, e.g., base station. The apparatus maybe configured to determine a synchronization schedule of at least one second AN based on received information indicating the synchronization schedule of the at least one second AN, and transmit information regarding the synchronization schedule of the at least one second AN to at least one of one or more neighboring ANs or one or more UEs.

Claim (Index 23):
A method of wireless communication at an access node, wherein the access node is a member of a first access node group of a network of access nodes, the method comprising:\n during a first set of synchronization resources, transmitting synchronization signals for downlink synchronization; and during a second different set of synchronization resources, performing access node backhaul synchronization as part of the first access node group, wherein the performing access node backhaul synchronization as part of the first access node group comprises: at a first time interval, receiving signals from one or more access nodes included in a second different access node group of the network of access nodes; using the received signals from the one or more access nodes included in the second different access node group to update synchronization of the access node with the one or more access nodes of the network of access nodes; and at a second time interval, transmitting signals to access nodes included in one or more other access node groups including the second access node group, the transmitted signals including synchronization information.
