Joint association and resource allocation for multi-hop integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network

“…𝑦 𝑏,𝑖 R𝑏,𝑖 s.t 𝐶 1 , 𝐶 2 , 𝐶 5 , 𝐶 6 , 𝐶 7 , 𝐶 10 , (13) where R𝑏,𝑖 = 𝑚∈ M 𝑥 𝑏,𝑖,𝑚 𝑅 𝑏,𝑖,𝑚 . However, ( 13) is still nonconvex problem due to the binary constraint 𝐶 10 .…”

“…Multi-hop (MH) backhauling, one of the advantages of IAB technology, is a promising solution to enhance the network throughput and coverage [12], [13]. By exploiting the spatial reuse in IAB with MH backhauling, the blockage issue and the interference management in IAB network need to be efficiently addressed.…”
