context: IAB can support stand-alone (SA) and non-stand-alone (NSA) deployments. For NSA, relaying of the UE's SCG path (NR) is included in the study. Relaying of the UE's MCG path (LTE) is contingent on the support for IAB-based relaying of LTE-access (see 5.1.3.). The IAB-node itself can operate in SA or NSA mode. While SA and NSA scenarios are included in the study, backhauling over the LTE radio interface is excluded from the study. Since EN-DC and SA option 2 represent relevant deployment options for early rollout of NR, EN-DC and SA option 2 for UEs and IAB-nodes have high priority in this study. Other NSA deployment options or combinations of SA and NSA may also be explored and included in the study. Requirements: 1: SA and NSA shall be supported for the access link. For an NSA access link, relaying is applied to the NR path. Relaying of the LTE path is contingent on the support of backhauling of LTE traffic (see 5.1.3). 2: Both NSA and SA shall be studied for the backhaul link. Backhaul
description: SA refers to Standalone mode, which is an operational mode where the IAB-node operates independently without relying on another network. In this context, SA is a deployment option for early rollout of NR, and it has high priority in the study.
explanation: The classification as Mode is justified because SA (Standalone) is described as an operational mode of the IAB-node, highlighting its independence in operation without relying on another network. This aligns with the definition of Mode as operational modes.
