Section: 6.12.2 Requirements
Content: The 5G network shall enable operators to support wireless self-backhaul using NR and E-UTRA. The 5G network shall support flexible and efficient wireless self-backhaul for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. The 5G network shall support flexible partitioning of radio resources between access and backhaul functions. The 5G network shall support autonomous configuration of access and wireless self-backhaul functions. The 5G network shall support multi-hop wireless self-backhauling. NOTE 1: This is to enable flexible extension of range and coverage area. The 5G network shall support autonomous adaptation on wireless self-backhaul network topologies to minimize service disruptions. The 5G network shall support topologically redundant connectivity on the wireless self-backhaul. NOTE 2: This is to enhance reliability and capacity and reduce end-to-end latency.
