A Scalable Communication Model to Realize Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) in 5G [PDF]
Our vision of the future world is one wherein everything, anywhere and at any time, can reliably communicate in real time. 5G, the fifth generation of cellular networks, is anticipated to use heterogeneity to deliver ultra-high data rates to a vastly increased number of devices in ultra-dense areas. Improving the backhaul network capacity is one of the

Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) in Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems
One of the major challenges with cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks is providing backhaul links for a large number of distributed access points (APs). In general, providing fiber optics backhaul for these APs is not cost-effective and also reduces network scalability.

Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) in Low Altitude Platforms
In this paper, we explore the problem of utilizing Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) technology in Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), with a particular focus on aerial access networks. We consider an Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based wireless network comprised of two layers of UAVs: (a) a lower layer consisting a number of flying users and a UAV Base

Definition of Satellite Systems Role in Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) Architectures
The Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) is deemed to reduce the deployment costs of ultra-dense 5G millimetre-wave (mmWave) networks, using wireless backhaul links to relay the access traffic. ESA funded the project SATIABLE to investigate technical issues to use the satellite for this kind of service, aiming to draw recommendations for IAB features or ...
