The recently proposed NR-ready integrated access and backhaul (IAB) architecture promises to bring a cost-efficient deployment solution for both coverage extension and capacity boosting in the emerging 5G/5G+ systems. While its impact on the coverage extension was thoroughly addressed in the literature, the effect of advanced functionalities such as multihop, multi-connectivity, and multi-beam operations on the throughput remained unclear. We review and characterize the system-level impact of these capabilities on the performance of self-backhauled IAB systems operating in half-duplex mode and utilizing millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology across both access and backhaul. Our results indicate that the throughput gain of multihopping and multi-beaming is significant even without multi-connectivity operation. Another important lesson is that in all-mmWave systems with link blockage, multi-connectivity with link switching allows achieving self-load balancing. Finally, we outline future research directions. |
