Toward Open Integrated Access and Backhaul with O-RAN
2023 21st Mediterranean Communication and Computer Networking Conference (MedComNet), 2023 Millimeter wave (mmWave) communications has been recently standardized for use in the fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks, fulfilling the promise of multi-gigabit mobile throughput of current and future mobile radio network generations. In this context, the network densification required to overcome the difficult mmWave propagation will result ...

Constrained Deployment Optimization in Integrated Access and Backhaul Networks
2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), 2023 Integrated access and backhaul (IAB) is one of the promising techniques for 5G networks and beyond (6G), in which the same node/hardware is used to provide both backhaul and cellular services in a multi-hop fashion. Due to the sensitivity of the backhaul links with high rate/reliability demands, proper network planning is needed to make the IAB network
