AI Technical Summary
In mobile IAB systems, particularly those mounted on vehicles, multiple MT migrations and DU migrations are required due to changing radio link conditions, leading to increased complexity and potential failures, especially when decorrelated migrations are necessary.
A method is implemented where MT migration is completed before initiating DU migration, ensuring both are executed while the co-located entities remain connected to the same donor, thereby avoiding simultaneous execution and reducing signaling complexity.
This approach ensures safe and efficient migration processes by minimizing signaling failures and complexity, particularly in mobile IAB scenarios with decorrelated MT and DU migrations.

Abstract
Description
Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to methods for use in a process for migrating 5 nodes and traffic in an Integrated Access and Backhaul, IAB, communication system. Particularly, the present invention relates to methods for use in a migration process in which a Mobile Termination, MT, of an IAB node, for example a mobile IAB node, is migrated in an IAB communication system. 25 Background ....................................................w—'1.......................................................... Wireless communication systems are largely deployed to address a wide range of applications, from mobile broadband, massive machine type communications to Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC). Such systems allow a plurality of user equipment (UE) or mobile terminals to share the wireless medium to exchange several types of data content (e.g. video, voice, messaging ...) over a radio access network (RAN) through one or more base stations. The base stations are conventionally wired-connected (e.g. through fiber) to a core network, forming an intermediate network, named backhaul (BH). Examples of such wireless multiple-access communication systems include systems based on 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP - RTM) standards, such as fourth-generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE®) or recent fifth-generation (5G) New Radio (NR) systems, or systems based on IEEE® 802.11 standards, such as Wi-Fi®. The demand for network densification increases due to the rising number of users and higher throughput requirement. Facing the issues of high deployment costs and time of the wired backhaul networks with network densification, 3GPP has proposed, from release 16 for 5G NR, a wireless backhaul, also known as Integrated Access and Backhaul, IAB, where part of the wireless (i.e. radio) spectrum is used for the backhaul connection of base stations instead of fiber. The wireless backhaul communications (between base stations) may use the same radio resources as access communications (between a base station and UEs). IAB turns out to be a competitive alternative to the fiber-based backhauling in dense areas or areas difficult to cover, as it allows scalable and rapid installations without the burden of cabling the base stations. IAB is most likely to operate in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band to achieve the required Gbps (gigabits per second) data rate. However, millimeter waves are known to be 25 subject to strong attenuations of signal strength in some weather conditions (rain, fog), and to blockage in case of obstacles located in the path between the emitter and the receiver. To manage these potential radio link failures, a topological redundancy can be provided within the IAB framework, where multiple data paths are set up between the IAB base station directly connected to the core network (also referred to as the “lAB-donor”) and the IAB base station serving UEs (also referred to as the “access lAB-node” for the UEs). Several intermediate IAB base stations (also referred to as lAB-nodes) may be involved in each of the several paths between the lAB-donor and the access lAB-node, thus forming alternative data paths within a multi-hop IAB topology. Besides, 3GPP has been considering inter-donor redundancy, where an lAB-node, referred to as a boundary IAB node, can access two different parent nodes connected to two different lAB-donors, with each of the lAB-donors managing a different IAB topology (also referred to as IAB network). The boundary lAB-node, even though belonging to a single IAB topology, i.e. belonging to a single lAB-donor for configuration and management, is thus able to route packets from a first IAB topology managed by a first lAB-donor to a second IAB topology managed by a second lAB-donor. The advantage of such inter-donor redundancy lies in the ability for the first lAB-donor to perform offloading by routing some of its packets through the second IAB topology, thus mitigating congestion issues or overcoming radio link failure issues that may arise in the first IAB topology. There are other situations where an lAB-node becomes a boundary node. For example, in the case of partial migration of an lAB-node, decided by the lAB-donor, where the Mobile Termination (MT) of the lAB-node becomes connected to a single parent lAB-node belonging to another IAB topology controlled by another lAB-donor. This situation may also happen in the case of an lAB-node that experienced radio link failure (RLF) and that has recovered through a parent lAB-node belonging to another IAB topology. In those cases, the migrated lAB-node and its potential descendant IAB node(s) still belong to the initial IAB topology, and such partial migration may be called MT migration. In order to ensure that traffic can be routed through the other IAB topology, MT migration should be followed by traffic migration where the traffic related to the boundary node and its descendant lAB-nodes is routed through the other IAB topology up to the boundary node (i.e. the migrated lAB-node). Stationary lAB-nodes should only require a single MT migration. Indeed, a backhaul link (defined between two successive lAB-nodes in the wireless backhaul) may experience radio failure due to fluctuations of radio conditions and, for lAB-nodes that do not move, it should be a temporary situation with possible link recovery after some time. Thus, it should not be required for such stationary lAB-nodes to perform multiple MT migrations in the same IAB topology or toward another IAB topology, and the transmission and the handling of multiple protocol messages can be avoided. For the same reason, the migration of the Distributed Unit (DU) of the lAB-node, leaving the control of the lAB-node to a new lAB-Donor, should not 5 be required for stationary nodes. Moreover, it is noted that such DU migration, that may be called full migration, also involves the handover of UEs served by the migrating mobile IAB-node. 25 Urban environments are usually characterised by a high density of users along with the presence of a significant number of vehicles (e.g. public / private passengers transportation, goods delivery, food trucks ...). Some of these vehicles (e.g. buses, trams, trains), may have predictable routes and a significant number of collocated UEs (i.e. passengers’ devices). 3GPP is considering that such vehicles could offer an opportunity to increase network coverage and connectivity to the UEs inside the vehicles, or even to UEs in proximity to the vehicles, by installing on these vehicles on-board base stations (or base station elements) that would act as mobile relays. These mobile relays would rely on 5G wireless backhaul (typically IAB, or Integrated Access &Backhaul) for connecting to a fixed donor device. Thus, based upon the fixed IAB foundations of releases 16 and 17, 3GPP is now considering Mobile IAB systems and architecture, as a part of the release 18 framework, in order to address scenarios focusing on mobile lAB-nodes mounted on vehicles (such as buses, trains, taxis). In such scenarios, mobile lAB-nodes can be referred to as Vehicle Mounted Relays (VMR), providing 5G coverage / capacity to on-board and / or surrounding UEs. The technical benefits of using VMRs include, among others, is the ability of the VMR to offer good radio link conditions to the nearby UEs. Additionally, comparing with a solution using a UE as relay (i.e. a Sidelink Relay solution), an lAB-node mounted on a vehicle is expected to have better RF / antenna capabilities, and to have less stringent power / battery constraints than a relay UE. For a mobile lAB-node it may be worth performing multiple MT migrations or DU migration, as the connection to a parent lAB-node belonging to a first IAB topology may not occur again for a long time as the mobile lAB-node moves around or never again in the case where the mobile lAB-node moves away from the parent lAB-node. Besides, for flexible IAB network management, MT and DU migration should be decorrelated, meaning that a DU migration for an lAB-node may occur before or after one or several MT migrations of this IAB-node. Moreover, the DU migration for an lAB-node may be performed toward an lAB-donor different to the lAB-donor associated to the MT of this lAB-node. Therefore, some new mechanisms are required to provide such flexibility by supporting multiple MT migrations of an lAB-node, decorrelated to its DU migration. Summary In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, performed at a second IAB donor CU, for use in a migration process in which a Mobile Termination, MT, of an IAB node is migrated in a second IAB topology managed by the second IAB CU, the IAB node (e.g. DU of the IAB node) being managed by a first IAB donor CU, of a first IAB topology, as recited in claims 8 to 13 of the accompanying claims. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, performed at a first IAB donor CU, for use in a migration process in which a Mobile Termination, MT, of an IAB node is migrated from a first parent IAB network node to a second parent IAB network node, the IAB node (e.g. DU of the IAB node) being managed by the first IAB donor CU, and the first and second parent IAB network nodes being managed by a second IAB donor CU different to the first IAB donor CU, as recited in the claims 1 to 7 of the accompanying claims. The path information sent to the first IAB donor CU (e.g. the Fl terminating donor CU) can be used to inform the Fl terminating donor CU of the one or more routing paths in a different topology to be used for routing data (e.g. Fl data, including user traffic, control traffic) to / from the IAB node, which one or more routing paths are new routing paths as they include a new parent IAB network node. In the case where the migration between parent IAB network nodes involves a new donor-DU (e.g. when the new parent IAB network node is either a new IAB donor DU or a parent IAB node connected (directly or indirectly) to a new IAB donor DU, the one or more routing paths are for routing data associated with the IAB node through the new IAB donor DU. The first IAB donor CU may initiate and execute migration of the MT of the IAB node to the third IAB donor CU. Alternatively, the first IAB donor CU may initiate MT migration for execution by the second IAB donor CU. In an example, the method further comprises determining whether a migration process for a Distributed Unit, DU, of the IAB node has been initiated, and in response to determining a migration process for the DU of the IAB node has been initiated, delaying migrating (or delaying initiating migration of) the MT of the IAB node to the third IAB donor CU until completion of the migration process for the DU of the IAB node. In another example, the method further comprises delaying initiating a migration process for the DU of the IAB nodes until completion of the migration process for the MT of the IAB node, such as until completion of the setting up of one or more routing paths (e.g. Fl-C and Fl-U) for routing data associated with the IAB node in the third IAB topology. By ensuring the MT migration is completed before initiating a DU migration (e.g. delaying the initiation or start of the DU migration until MT migration is completed) or checking whether a DU migration has been initiated or started and if it has, by delaying MT migration until completion of DU migration, executing a MT migration at the same time as executing a DU migration can be avoided. Since executing a MT migration at the same time as the migration of the co-located DU may lead to failure of at least one of the procedures or it may drastically increase the complexity of signalling, failures and an increase in signalling complexity can be avoid. To ensure a safe approach, it is desirable for a MT migration to be executed and completed while the co-located DU stays connected to the same donor, and for a DU migration to be executed and completed while the co-located MT stays connected to the same donor. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for an IAB donor CU (e.g. a source IAB donor CU or a target IAB donor CU) for an IAB communication system as recited in the accompanying claims. In all aspects, the IAB node may be an mobile IAB node. Further example features of the invention are described in other independent and dependent claims. Any feature in one aspect of the invention may be applied to other aspects of the invention, in any appropriate combination. In particular, method aspects may be applied to apparatus / device / unit aspects, and vice versa. Furthermore, features implemented in hardware may be implemented in software, and vice versa. Any reference to software and hardware features herein should be construed accordingly. For example, in accordance with other aspects of the invention, there are provided a computer program comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to carry out the method of any aspect or example described above and a computer readable storage medium carrying the computer program.

Detailed Description Figure 1 illustrates an example communication system 100, in particular a mobile radio communication system such as a fifth-generation (5G) New Radio (NR) system including a wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul network supporting mobile lAB-node(s). Although in the following description, embodiments and examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described with respect to a 5G NR system, it will be appreciated that it is not intended that the present invention is limited to 5G NR systems and may be used in any wireless communication systems having a mobile base station. In particular, the following description predominantly uses terminology specific to 5G, but it should be appreciated that such terminology also applies to elements or processes performing an equivalent function in other communication systems. The system 100 comprises a plurality ofUEs (User Equipment) 132, 133, 131 and 134, a remote core network 110, a main Base Station 120, and two Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) stations or IAB nodes 121 and 122 (also referred to in the following as IAB-nodes), and a mobile Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) station 123 mounted on a vehicle 105 (for example, a bus, a train, a taxi, a car, etc.). The main Base Station 120, also referred to as the lAB-donor 120, is connected to the core network 110 through a wired link 101, preferably an optical fiber or any other wired means. In embodiments and examples of embodiments of the invention, lAB-donor 120 is a 5G NR gNB with additional functionality to support IAB features, as defined in 3GPP TS 38.300 V17.2.0 specification document. In order to extend the network coverage of lAB-donor 120 and reach the remote UEs 132, 133 and 131, IAB stations 121 and 122, also referred to as lAB-nodes 121 and 122, have been installed by the operator. By acting as relaying nodes between the lAB-donor 120 and the UEs 132 and 133, lAB-nodes 121 and 122 allow overcoming the reachability issue resulting from presence of building 108, which is an obstacle to the propagation of radio waves and hence to the direct attachment and further communications between the UEs and the lAB-donor 120. This is particularly true when the communications between the IAB-donor 120 and UEs 132 and 133 are operated at millimeter wave frequencies, which are highly sensitive to shadowing phenomena. The lAB-donor 120 also serves UE 134, which is directly connected to it. The mobile IAB station 123, also referred to as mobile lAB-node 123 or mlAB node 123, is an lAB-node that is mounted on vehicle 105 and provides network coverage and capacity extension, allowing the lAB-donor 120 to reach onboard remote UEs, like remote UE 135, as well as surrounding UEs or UEs in the vicinity of the lAB-node 123, like remote 5 UE 136. The lAB-donor 120 and the lAB-nodes 121, 122 and 123 are thus forming a backhaul network or IAB network, or IAB topology, which accommodates UEs 132, 133, 131, 134, 135 and 136. The terms IAB network and IAB topology will be used interchangeably in the following. 10 The specification of the Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) is spread over several 3GPP standard documents, including: - TS 38.300 RAN architecture (V17.2.0), - TS 38.321 MAC protocol (V17.2.0), - TS 38.331 Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol (V17.2.0), 25 30 - TS 38.340 Backhaul Adaptation Protocol Layer (¥17.2.0), - TS 38.401 RAN architecture (V17.2.0), - TS 38.423 Xn Application Protocol (VI7.2.0), - TS 38.473 Fl Application Protocol (V17.2.0). As lAB-donor 120 and lAB-nodes 121, 122 and 123 are respectively connected to UEs 134, 131, 132, 133, 135 and 136, they are considered as Access lAB-nodes fortheir respectively connected UEs. The lAB-donor 120 is a logical node that provides the NR-based wireless backhaul and consists of a central unit (CU or gNB-CU functionality) and connected donor distributed unit(s) (DU or gNB-DU functionality). The lAB-donor-CU or donor-CU (also referred to in the following as lAB-donor CU or IAB donor CU) hosts higher layer protocols, such as PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) and RRC (Radio Resource Control) protocols, for controlling operation of one or more DUs and each of the one or more lAB-donor-DUs or donor DUs (also referred to in the following as lAB-donor DU or IAB donor DU) includes lower layer protocols, such as the RLC, MAC and physical layer protocols. The lAB-donor-CU or donor-CU and lAB-donor DU or donor DU may be located far from the other or may be located in the same physical device. The gNB-DU functionality is defined in 3GPP TS 38.401. It aims at terminating the NR access interface to the UEs and next-hop lAB-nodes, and at terminating the Fl protocol to the lAB-donor gNB-CU functionality as shown in Figures 2a and 2b discussed below. The IAB nodes, which may serve multiple radio sectors, are wireless backhauled to the lAB-donor 120, via one or multiple hops over one or more intermediate IAB nodes. They form a directed acyclic graph (DAG) topology with the lAB-donor at its root. The IAB nodes each consist of an IAB-DU (lAB-Distributed Unit) and an IAB-MT (lAB-Mobile Termination). The gNB-DU functionality on an lAB-node is also referred to as IAB-DU and allows the downstream (toward the UE) connection to the next-hop IAB or to a UE. The IAB-MT functionality includes, e.g., physical layer, layer-2, RRC and Non Access Stratum (NAS) functionalities to connect to the gNB-DU of an upstream lAB-node (including the lAB-donor 120 in which case it connects to the lAB-donor gNB-CU, hence to the core network 110, for instance for initialization, registration and configuration). In this DAG topology, the neighbour node on the lAB-DU’s interface is referred to as child node and the neighbour node on the IAB-MT’s interface is referred to as parent node. The direction toward the child node is further referred to as downstream while the direction toward the parent node is referred to as upstream. The lAB-donor 120 (e.g. the lAB-donor CU) performs centralized resource, topology and route management for the whole IAB topology. This includes configuring the lAB-nodes according to the network topology, e.g. in order to perform appropriate routing of data packets. Figures 2a and 2b schematically illustrate stacks of some protocol layers involved in IAB operations. Fl interface supports the exchange of signalling information between the endpoints, as well as the data transmission to the respective endpoints. From a logical standpoint, Fl interface is a point-to-point interface between the endpoints. In 5G NR, Fl-C is the functional interface in the Control Plane (CP) between the IAB-donor-CU and an lAB-node -DU (e.g. of lAB-node 2), and between the lAB-donor-CU and an lAB-donor DU. Fl-U is the functional interface in the User Plane (UP) for the same units. Fl-C and Fl-U are shown by reference 212 in Figure 2a. In this example, Fl-U and Fl-C are carried over two backhaul hops (from lAB-donor to lAB-node 1 and then from lAB-node 1 to IAB-node2). In the User Plane, boxes 210 at the lAB-donor-CU and the lAB-node DU refer to the GTP-U layer and boxes 211 refer to the UDP layer. GTP-U stands for GPRS Tunnelling Protocol User Plane. GTP-U Tunnels are used to carry encapsulated PDUs and signalling messages between a given pair of GTP-U Tunnel Endpoints (refer to 3GPP TS 29.281 for more details), here boxes 210 at the lAB-donor-CU and the lAB-node DU. The well-known User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a transport layer protocol providing a best effort datagram service and fit to use with an IP protocol. In the Control Plane, boxes 210 indicate the F1AP (Fl Application Protocol) layer and boxes 211 indicate the SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) layer. The Fl 5 Application Protocol (as defined in 3GPP TS38.473 and TS 38.401) provides signalling services between the lAB-donor-CU and the lAB-node DU, or UE associated services. These services are for example initialization, configuration, and so on. The well-known SCTP layer provides reliable, in sequence transport of messages with congestion control. Fl-U and Fl-C rely on an IP transport layer between the lAB-donor-CU and the IAB-10 node DU as defined in 3GPP TS 38.401. 25 30 The transport between the lAB-donor DU and the lAB-donor-CU also uses an IP transport Layer over various media, like for example wires or optical fiber when the lAB-donor-CU is remote from the lAB-donor DU, or locally in a virtual instantiation of the lAB-donor-CU and the lAB-donor DU on the same physical machine. lAB-specific transport between lAB-donor-CU and lAB-donor-DU is specified in 3GPP TS 38.401. LI and L2 on the Figure 2a stand respectively for the transport and physical layers appropriate to the medium in use. The IP layer can also be used for non-Fl traffic, such as Operations, Administration and Maintenance traffic. On the wireless backhaul, the IP layer is itself carried over the backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) sublayer, which enables routing over multiple hops. The BAP sublayer is specified in TS 38.340. The IAB-DU’s IP traffic is routed over the wireless backhaul via the BAP sublayer. In a downstream direction, upper layer packets are encapsulated by the BAP sublayer at the lAB-donor DU, thus forming BAP packets or packet data units (PDUs) or data packets. The BAP packets are routed by the BAP layer or entity (and corresponding BAP entities in the IAB-DU and IAB-MT) of the intermediate lAB-nodes, if any. The BAP packets are finally de-encapsulated by the BAP sublayer at the destination lAB-node (which may be an access lAB-node should the upper layer packets in the BAP packets be intended for a UE). In an upstream direction, upper layer packets are encapsulated by the BAP sublayer at an initiator lAB-node (which may be an access lAB-node should the upper layer packets come from a UE), thus forming BAP packets or data units (PDUs) or data packets. The BAP packets are routed by the BAP layer (and corresponding BAP entities in the IAB-DU and IAB-MT) of the intermediate lAB-nodes, if any. The BAP packets are finally deencapsulated by the BAP sublayer at the lAB-donor DU. On the BAP sublayer, packets are routed based on the BAP routing ID, which is carried in the BAP header of the BAP packets, and which is set by the BAP sublayer of the emitting 5 lAB-donor-DU or initiator lAB-node (e.g. a network node in the IAB network generating the BAP packets). Figure 3 illustrates the format of a BAP Data Protocol Data Unit (PDU) or packet. It is specified in the standardized version paragraph 6.2 of 3GPP TS38.340 release 17.2.0. The payload section 307 is usually an IP packet. The header 30 includes fields 301 to 10 306. Field 301, named D / C field, is a Boolean indicating whether the corresponding BAP packet is a BAP Data packet or a BAP Control packet. Fields 302-304 are 1 -bit reserved fields, preferably set to 0 (to be ignored by the receiver). Fields 305 and 306 indicate together the BAP routing ID for the BAP packet. BAP address field 305, also referred to as DESTINATION field, is located in the leftmost 10 bits while BAP path identity field 306, also referred to as PATH field, is located in the rightmost 10 bits. 25 Field 305 carries the BAP address (i.e. on the BAP sublayer) of the destination IAB-node or lAB-donor DU for the BAP packet. For the purpose of routing, each lAB-node and lAB-donor DU in an IAB network is configured (by lAB-donor-CU of the IAB network) with a designated and unique BAP address. Field 306 carries a path ID identifying the routing path the BAP packet should follow to this destination in the IAB topology. For the purpose of routing, the routing paths, including their path ID, are configured (by lAB-donor-CU of the IAB network) in the lAB-nodes of the IAB network. The BAP header is added to the packet when it arrives from upper layers to the BAP layer, and it is stripped off by the BAP layer when it has reached its destination node. The selection of the packet’s BAP routing ID is configured by the lAB-donor-CU. For instance, when the BAP packet is generated by a node, i.e. either by the lAB-donor-DU for downstream transmission or by an initiator (which may be an access lAB-node should the upper layer packets come from a UE) for upstream transmission, the BAP header with the BAP Routing ID is built by this node according to a configuration table defined in 3GPP TS 38.340. This table is called Downlink Traffic to Routing ID Mapping Configuration table in the lAB-donor-DU or Uplink Traffic to Routing ID Mapping Configuration table in the initiator lAB-node. In intermediate lAB-nodes, the BAP header fields are already specified in the BAP packet to forward. 10 25 30 As mentioned above, these configuration tables defining the BAP paths (hence the routing strategy and the configuration of the lAB-nodes given the IAB network topology) are usually defined by the lAB-donor-CU and transmitted to the lAB-nodes to configure them. To transport messages over the 5G NR radio medium, three more sublayers (RLC, MAC and PHY) are implemented at each lAB-node below the BAP sublayer. The RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer is responsible for the segmentation or reconstruction of packets. It is also responsible for requesting retransmissions of missing packets. The RLC layer is further described in TS38.322. The MAC (Media Access Channel) protocol sublayer is responsible for selecting available transmission formats for the user data and for the mapping of logical channel to the transport channels. The MAC handles also a part of the Hybrid Automated Repetition request scheme. The MAC layer is detailed in TS 38.321. On the emitter or transmitter side, the MAC encapsulates the data packet issued from the RLC. It adds a header carrying information necessary to the MAC function. On the receiver side, the MAC decapsulates the data packet issued from the PHY sublayer, deletes its header and passes the remaining data to the RLC. The PHY sublayer provides an electrical interface to the transmission medium (the air) by converting the stream of information into physical modulation signals, modulating a carrier frequency at emitter side. At thet receiver side the PHY sublayer converts the physical modulation signals back to a stream of information. The PHY layer is described in TS 38.201, TS 38.211, TS 38.212, TS 38.213, TS 38.214. To pass messages towards the user or control plane, two other sublayers are used in the UE and lAB-donor-CU: the PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer and either the SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer for the User Plane communications or the RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer for the Control Plane communications. The PDCP sublayer handles IP Header compression / decompression, ciphering / deciphering, and handles the integrity on the data packet if necessary. It mandatorily numbers the packets on the emitter side and reorders the packets on the receiver side. The PDCP sublayer is described in 3GPP TS38.323. SDAP sublayer 220 for the User Plane handles the Quality of Service. It is described in TS38.324. On the UE side, the SDAP sublayer exchanges the payload data with the user’s application (voice, video, etc... - not shown in the Figure). On the lAB-donor-CU side, the SDAP sublayer exchanges the data with the Core Network 110 (Internet traffic, Cloud, etc...). RRC sublayer 220 for the Control Plane handles the configuration of the protocol entities of the User Plane protocol stack. It is described in TS38.331. It is responsible for the handling of, inter alia, broadcasting information necessary to a UE to communicate with a cell; transmitting paging messages, managing connection, including setting up bearers; mobility functions; measurement configuration and reporting; devices capabilities. The interface (for both CP and UP) between nodes using the layers PDCP, RLC, MAC 5 and PHY is referenced NR-Uu. This mainly concerns the interface with the UE. The interface (for both CP and UP) between nodes using the layers BAP, RLC, MAC and PHY is named BackHaul RLC Channel (BH RLC channel). This mainly concerns the interfaces between the lAB-nodes. NR-Uu is the interface between the UE and the radio access network, i.e. its access 10 lAB-node (for both CP and UP). Figure 2b comes from 3GPP TS 38.300 V17.2.0 and illustrates the protocol stack for the support of lAB-MT’s RRC and NAS connections. The Non-Access Stratum (NAS) protocol handles the messages between the core network and a user equipment, or an IAB-node. It manages the establishment of communication sessions and maintains 15 communications with the lAB-node or the user equipment as it moves. The 5G NAS is \| described in 3GPP TS 24.501. The 5G Core Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) is a function within the Core Network that receives all connection and session related __ information from the UEs connected to the IAB node, as well as similar information for the lAB-node. AMF is only responsible for handling connection and mobility management tasks. 20 The IAB-MT establishes signalling Radio Bearers SRBs (bearers carrying RRC and NAS messages) with the lAB-donor-CU. These SRBs are transported between the IAB-MT and its parent node(s) over NR-Uu interface(s). Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of an example communication device (apparatus) or station, in accordance with one or more example embodiments of the present 25 disclosure. The communication device 400 may be a device such as a micro-computer, a workstation or a light portable device. The communication device 400 may comprise a communication bus 413 to which there are preferably connected: - a central processing unit 411, such as a microprocessor, denoted CPU. The 30 central processing unit 411 may be a single processing unit or processor or may comprise two or more processing units or processors carrying out the processing required for the operation of the communication device 400. The number of processors and the allocation of processing functions to the central processing unit 411 is a matter of design choice for a skilled person; - memory for storing data and computer programs containing instructions for the operation of the communication device 400. The computer programs may contain a number of different program elements (modules) or sub-routines containing instructions for a variety of operations and for implementing the methods in accordance with one or 5 more embodiments of the invention; and - at least one communication interface 402 for communicating with other devices or nodes in a communication system, such as the communication system of Figure 1. The at least one communication interface 402 may be connected to the radio communication network 403, such as a wireless communication network for 5G NR (e.g. according to release 10 17 and / or subsequent releases), over which digital data packets or frames or control frames are transmitted. The frames are written from a FIFO sending memory in RAM 412 to the communication interface for transmission or are read from the communication interface for reception and writing into a FIFO receiving memory in RAM 412 under the control of a software application running in the CPU 411. Each of a donor CU, a donor DU, an IAB node and a UE may be implemented in such a communication device / apparatus 100. The memory may include: - a read only memory 407, denoted ROM, for storing computer programs for implementing methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention; - a random-access memory 412, denoted RAM, for storing the executable code of methods according to one or more embodiments of the invention as well as the registers adapted to record variables and parameters necessary for implementing methods according to one or more embodiments of the invention. Optionally, the communication device 400 may also include the following components: 25 - a data storage means 404 such as a hard disk, for storing computer programs for implementing methods according to one or more embodiments of the invention; - a disk drive 405 for a disk 406, the disk drive being adapted to read data from the disk 1106 or to write data onto said disk; - a screen 409 for displaying decoded data and / or serving as a graphical interface 30 with the user, by means of a keyboard 410 or any other input / output means. In an example arrangement, the communication bus 413 provides communication and interoperability between the various elements included in the communication device 400 or connected to it. The representation of the bus is not limiting and in particular, the central 10 25 30 processing unit is operable to communicate instructions to any element of the communication device 400 directly or by means of another element of the communication device 400. The disk 406 may optionally be replaced by any information medium such as for example a compact disk (CD-ROM), rewritable or not, a ZIP disk, a USB key or a memory card and, in general terms, by an information storage means that can be read by a microcomputer or by a microprocessor, integrated or not into the communication device, possibly removable and adapted to store one or more programs whose execution enables a method according to embodiments of the invention to be implemented. The executable code may optionally be stored either in read only memory 407, on the hard disk 404 or on a removable digital medium such as for example a disk 406 as described previously. According to an optional variant, the executable code of the programs can be received by means of the communication network 403, via the interface 402, in order to be stored in one of the storage means of the communication device 400, such as the hard disk 404, before being executed. The central processing unit 411 may be adapted to control and direct the execution of the instructions or portions of software code of the program or programs according to the invention, which instructions are stored in one of the aforementioned storage means. On powering up, the program or programs that are stored in a non-volatile memory, for example on the hard disk 404 or in the read only memory 407, are transferred into the random-access memory 412, which then contains the executable code of the program or programs, as well as registers for storing the variables and parameters necessary for implementing the invention. In an example implementation, the communication device (apparatus) is a programmable device / apparatus which uses software to implement the invention. Instructions may be executed by one or more processors of the apparatus, such as one or more digital signal processors (DSPs), general purpose microprocessors, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field programmable logic arrays (FPGAs), or other equivalent integrated or discrete logic circuitry to implement the invention for a network node (e.g. IAB node, IAB donor DU, etc.). Accordingly, the term “central processing unit” as used herein may refer to any of the foregoing structure or any other structure suitable for implementation of the techniques described herein. However, alternatively, the present invention may be implemented in hardware (for example, in the form of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit or ASIC or other logic element). Figure 5 illustrates an example of an IAB communication system (or IAB network system) 500 in which embodiments and examples of embodiments of the present invention may be implemented. In one example implementation, the radio links between the IAB nodes and between the IAB nodes and the IAB donor DUs (referred to as BH radio links) are operated over the millimeter wave frequency band (i.e. above 30 GHz), which is highly sensitive to radio channel disturbance. An IAB network will also be referred to as an IAB 10 25 topology or topology and so in this application, the terms IAB network and IAB topology and topology will be used interchangeably. IAB communication system 500 is composed of two IAB networks or IAB topologies 5001 and 5002 with each IAB topology comprising a set of IAB nodes (e.g. the set may comprise a plurality of IAB nodes or at least one IAB node) and an lAB-donor-CU for controlling or managing the plurality of IAB nodes. The set of IAB nodes may include one or more lAB-nodes, such as initiator lAB-nodes which generate BAP packets and also intermediate or relay lAB-nodes. Each of the IAB nodes communicate with at least one other IAB node over a wireless backhaul (BH) link. Although the figure 5 shows two IAB topologies 5001 and 5002, the present invention is not limited to two IAB topologies and may be implemented in an IAB communication system comprising more than two IAB topologies with each topology comprising a set of IAB nodes and an IAB donor-CU as discussed above. As discussed above, each IAB node comprises a Mobile Termination (MT) part or unit, controlled and configured by the IAB donor using RRC messaging as defined in 3GPP TS 38.331, and a Distributed Unit (DU) part, controlled and configured by the IAB donor using Fl-AP messaging as defined in 3GPP TS 38.473. For example, lAB-node 510 comprises a MT part or unit 511 and a DU part 512. lAB-node 570 is a mobile IAB node and thus includes a mobile MT (MT) 571 and a mobile DU (DU) 572. IAB topology 5001 includes lAB-donor-CU 501 (identified as Donor 1-CU in Figure 5), and its associated lAB-donor-DU 504 (identified as Donor 1-DU1 in Figure 5), and a plurality of lAB-nodes 510 and 520, similar to lAB-nodes 121 and 122. IAB topology 5002 includes lAB-donor-CU 502 (identified as Donor2-CU in Figure 5), its associated lAB-donor-DUs, lAB-donor-DU 505 (identified as Donor2-DUl in Figure 5) and lAB-donor-DU 506 (identified as Donor2-DU2 in Figure 5), and a plurality of IAB-nodes 530, 540, 550, similar to lAB-nodes 121 and 122, and lAB-node 570, that may be 30 similar to mobile lAB-node 123. All lAB-nodes can be access nodes serving UEs like the UE 580 served by the mobile lAB-node 570. The IAB topology 5002 is transparent for the UE 580 that connects to the donor-CU 502 through the DU part or DU unit 572 of the mobile lAB-node 570. Although figure 5 shows only one UE 580, it will be appreciated that there will be a plurality of UEs connected to the network nodes of the IAB communication system 500. A wired backhaul IP network interconnects the lAB-donor-CUs 501 and 502, and the lAB-donor-DUs 505, 506 and 504 through the wired backhaul 508. For instance, this wired backhaul 508 consists of optical fiber cables. lAB-Donor-CU 501, lAB-Donor-DU 504 and lAB-nodes 510 and 520 are part of the same IAB network or IAB topology 5001, which is configured and managed or controlled by lAB-Donor-CU 501. lAB-Donor-CU 502, lAB-Donor-DUs 505 and 506, lAB-nodes 530, 540, 550 are part of the same IAB network or IAB topology 5002, which is configured and managed or controlled by lAB-Donor-CU 502. It is assumed that the mobile lAB-node 570 has initially a single parent lAB-node 520 through the backhaul link 5020, and that lAB-node 570 belongs to the IAB topology 5001 controlled by the lAB-Donor-CU 501. When moving, and in view of its proximity to IAB topology 5002, in particular to the lAB-node 530 when in the position shown in figure 5, the mobile lAB-node 570 may be able to establish a wireless backhaul link 5030 with the IAB-node 530. Such a backhaul link is possible for a stationary lAB-node, and it is very likely to happen for a mobile lAB-node like lAB-node 570, moving, for instance, in the direction of the IAB topology 5002 (shown by arrow 590 in figure 5). Several scenarios are possible according to the IAB framework release 17. As a first scenario, the topology redundancy procedure may be applied, as described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.2, where a dual connectivity is established for the lAB-node 570 with two parent lAB-nodes 520 and 530 belonging to two different IAB topologies. Each IAB-DU and IAB Donor DU supports wireless communication in coverage area(s) referred to as cell(s). In other words, each IAB-DU and IAB Donor DU is associated with cell(s). Wireless communication devices (such as UEs, or other lAB-nodes) located within a cell may connect to the node (i.e. IAB-DU or IAB Donor DU) serving the cell in order to communicate with other devices (e.g. other UEs, lAB-nodes, servers providing access to the Internet, etc.) via the node. When the lAB-node 570 is initially connected to a single IAB topology (e.g. IAB topology 5001), the MT part or unit MT 571 of lAB-node 570 periodically performs a cell search procedure, as defined in 3GPP TS 38.300, trying to detect PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) and SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal) of neighbouring cells. The lAB-node 570 may report to its donor-CU 501 the presence of a new cell activated or controlled by the lAB-node 530, through a measurement report which includes the identifier of the cell. The identifier of a cell also enables the identification of the IAB Donor CU managing this cell. Based on the analysis of the measurement report, the donor-CU 501 may request to the donor-CU 502 the establishment of a dual connectivity for the lAB-node 570 with an additional connection through the lAB-node 530. The donor-CU 502 may accept the request and proceed to the connection of the lAB-node 570 according to the procedure described in TS 37.340 V17.2.0 section 10.2. As a result, the lAB-node 570, still belonging to IAB topology 5001, is now also connected to lAB-node 530, which belongs to IAB topology 5002, and it may be referred to as a boundary node between IAB topology 5001 and IAB topology 5002. Actually, the lAB-node 570 retains its Fl connection and its RRC connection to the donor-CU 501, which can be referred to as the Fl-terminating IAB-donor-CU, and it has another RRC connection to the donor-CU 502, which can be referred to as the non-Fl-terminating lAB-donor-CU. As the lAB-node or boundary node 570 is part of the IAB topology 5001 (from the Fl connection point of view), it is controlled (e.g. configured and managed) by the lAB-Donor-CU 501 of IAB topology 5001. Through the second RRC connection, the donor-CU 502, assigns a second BAP address to be used for routing packets through the IAB topology 5002. Thus, lAB-node 570 acting as a boundary node is assigned two BAP addresses: one BAP address for IAB topology 5001 and one BAP address for IAB topology 5002. Such a boundary node can help provide network path diversity by providing alternative routing paths through the IAB topologies 5001 and 5002. Indeed, the lAB-donor-CU 501 may take benefit of the dual connectivity of lAB-node 570 between IAB topology 5001 and IAB topology 5002, to balance the traffic load in IAB topology 5001 by offloading, or migrating, some traffic (user traffic or control traffic) initially planned to be routed through IAB nodes 510, 520, and the BH link 5020 to the IAB-node 570. In the IAB communication system, all traffic communicated over backhaul links uses a Fl interface (Fl-C or Fl-U) between an IAB donor CU and an IAB-DU. Thus, the traffic or backhaul traffic that is offloaded or migrated is Fl traffic and can include control and user traffic. In this case and as described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.2, the donor-CU 501 triggers the IAB transport migration management procedure specified in TS 38.423 VI7.2.0 section 8.5.2. The donor-CU 502 may reject the request for a part or for the full traffic to be migrated, for instance because of load issue in the IAB topology 5002. Thus, for example, traffic initially planned to be routed between the donor-CU 501 and the lAB-node 570 over a backhaul path (path 1) which includes donor-DU 504, IAB nodes 510 and 520 may be migrated or offloaded to a backhaul path (path 2) which includes donor-DU 505 and IAB node 530. As a second scenario, the BH link or BH radio link 5020 may also experience radio link deficiency due to some unexpected interference or shadowing phenomena. For such reasons, the lAB-node 570 may lose the connection with the lAB-node 520 and declare a Radio Link Failure (RLF) for the BH link 5020. Then, the lAB-node 570 will try to reestablish the connection with the same or a different parent lAB-node (or donor-DU). Thus, for instance, the lAB-node 570 may try to join the IAB topology 5002 managed by lAB-donor-CU 502 with a connection through the new parent lAB-node 530 and the BH link 5030. In this case, the inter-CU backhaul RLF recovery procedure may be applied, as described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.4, which enables the recovery of an lAB-node to another parent node underneath a different lAB-donor-CU, when the IAB-MT of the lAB-node declares a backhaul RLF. In such a procedure, the donor-CU 502 sends to the donor-CU 501 a request to retrieve the context of the lAB-node 570. Based on the response from the donor-CU 501, the donor-CU 502 may accept the connection of the lAB-node 570, which becomes a boundary node still belonging to the IAB topology 5001. Actually, the lAB-node 570 retains its Fl connection to the donor-CU 1 which can be referred to as the F1-terminating IAB-donor-CU, and it has a RRC connection to the donor-CU 502, which can be referred to as the non-Fl-terminating lAB-donor-CU. Then, the lAB-donor-CU 501 may request the migration of the Fl traffic (user traffic and control traffic) related to the lAB-node 570 toward the IAB topology 5002. In this case, the donor-CU 501 triggers the IAB transport migration management procedure specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.5.2. The donor-CU2 502 may reject the request for a part or for the full traffic to be migrated, for instance because of load issue in the IAB topology 5002. As a third scenario, the lAB-node 570 may be partially migrated toward the IAB topology 5002, meaning the MT 571 becomes connected to the donor-CU 502, thus the RRC connection is migrated from the lAB-Donor-CU 501 to the lAB-donor-CU 502. Indeed, based on the measurement report provided by the lAB-node 570, the donor-CU 501 may detect that the lAB-node 570 would have a better connection through a cell of the lAB-node 530 belonging to the IAB topology 5002. Then, the donor-CU 501 may trigger the IAB Inter-CU Topology Adaptation procedure described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.3.1. In this procedure, the donor-CU 501 sends a handover request to the donor-CU 502 with information for the donor-CU 502 to establish a RRC connection to the lAB-node 570. Based on this information, the donor-CU 502 may accept the handover request and proceed to the admission of the lAB-node 570 (e.g. to set up a connection with the lAB-node 570), which becomes a boundary node still belonging to the IAB topology 5001, with its Fl connection with the donor-CU 501 (i.e. the Fl terminating donor-CU), and its RRC connection with the donor-CU2 502 (i.e. the non-Fl terminating donor-CU). This procedure may be applied after the topology redundancy procedure (first scenario), has been performed or, by anticipation, before a connection loss between the lAB-node 570 and the lAB-node 520. Then, the lAB-donor-CU 501 may request the migration of the backhaul or Fl traffic related to the lAB-node 570 toward the IAB topology 5002. In this case, the donor-CU 501 also triggers the IAB transport migration management procedure specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.5.2. The donor-CU2 may reject the request for a part or for the full traffic to be migrated, for instance because of load issue in the IAB topology 5002. In case the lAB-node 570 has some child lAB-node(s), a similar inter-CU topology adaptation procedure applies, as specified in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.3.2, where the donor-CU 501 additionally configures the migrating node and the child lAB-node(s) to correctly route the BAP packets. In these scenarios, the IAB topology 5001 may be referred to as the source IAB network or source IAB topology, and the topology 5002 may be referred to as the target IAB network or target IAB topology. Also, the donor-CU 501 may be referred to as the source lAB-Donor-CU or source donor-CU, and the donor-CU 502 may be referred to as the target lAB-Donor-CU or target donor-CU. The outcome of the procedures applied in the second and third scenario is the MT migration, also called partial migration, of the lAB-node 570. In the first scenario, where a dual connectivity is established for the lAB-node 570 with two parent lAB-nodes 520 and 530, the MT remains connected to the source lAB-node 520. In all the three scenarios described above, the UE 580 still connects to the donor-CU 501 through the DU part or unit DU 572 of the mobile lAB-node 570. In case the lAB-node 570 has some child lAB-node(s), such child lAB-node still belongs to the IAB topology 5001, fully controlled (through Fl and RRC connections) by the donor-CU 501. While still moving, the lAB-node 570 may become in a position where a backhaul link 5050 with the lAB-node 550 may have a better quality than the backhaul link 5030 with the lAB-node 530. At some point, the lAB-node 570 may also experience RUF on the backhaul link 5030. Thus, the three scenarios described above may be repeated but this time considering intra-CU procedures. Indeed, the donor-CU 502 may have to handle: - either the intra-CU topological redundancy procedure described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.2.4, resulting in the dual-connectivity of the lAB-node 570 with two parent IAB-nodes 530 and 550, - the intra-CU backhaul RLF recovery procedure described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 5 section 8.2.5, resulting in a consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 570 with a new single parent lAB-node 550, - or the intra-CU topology adaptation procedure described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.2.3.1, resulting also in a consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 570 with a new single parent lAB-node 550. 10 With the cases involving MT migration of the lAB-node 570 to the parent lAB-node 550, the donor-CU 502 has to switch from a first backhaul path including donor-DU 505 and lAB-node 530 to a second backhaul path (which includes donor-DU 506, lAB-nodes 540 and 550) to reach the lAB-node 570, and the donor-CU 501 has to be informed to redirect its offloaded traffic (control and user traffic) through the donor-DU 506 instead of donor-DU 15 505. With dual-connectivity, the donor-CU 502 may still have the choice to maintain the first backhaul path through the donor-DU 505 and the lAB-node 530 to reach the lAB-node 570, or to switch to the second backhaul path through the donor-DU 506 and the lAB-nodes 540 and 550. When the second backhaul path is selected by the donor-CU 502, this case can be also considered as a consecutive MT migration for the lAB-node 570, and the donor-CU 501 -j— 20 has to be informed. Examples of methods, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, which enable the Fl terminating donor CU of an IAB node (e.g. a mobile 1AB node) to be informed of migration of the MT of the IAB node between IAB nodes in the IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node (e.g. a consecutive 25 MT migration of the IAB node where the MT migration is a new MT migration toward a new parent IAB node which is managed by a donor-CU that is different from the donor-CU serving the DU of the IAB node or which is at least connected to a different donor-DU (compared to the previous parent IAB node) which is managed by a donor-CU that is different from the donor-CU serving the DU of the IAB node or which is a new parent IAB 30 node connected to the same donor-DU) and of at least one new routing path to be used to route data (e.g. user traffic and control traffic, Fl traffic) associated with the migrated IAB node in the IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor CU (e.g. to be used for routing data to / from the migrated IAB node or between the migrated IAB node and the Fl terminating donor CU in the IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor CU) will now be described. Although the following methods / apparatus will be described primarily with respect to a mobile IAB node, it will be appreciated that it is not intended that the invention is limited to mobile IAB nodes. The methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention may apply to stationary IAB nodes e.g. that are at the edge of one IAB topology and in the proximity of one or more IAB nodes in a neighbouring IAB topology. Figure 6 is a schematic and simplified diagram 600 illustrating some example message flows, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, to support (multiple consecutive) MT migration(s) of an lAB-node in the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl terminating donor-CU of the lAB-node. Multiple consecutive MT migrations involves multiple new MT migrations between different parent IAB nodes which may be managed by donor-CUs which are different to the donor-CU serving the DU of the IAB node or which are at least connected (directly or indirectly) to different donor-DUs which are managed by a different donor-CU to the donor-CU serving the DU of the IAB node or which are connected (directly or indirectly) to the same donor-DU. This figure shows an lAB-node 601 that may be a mobile lAB-node like the lAB-node 570 of figure 5 and / or the lAB-node 123 of Figure 1. When the lAB-node 601 is a mobile lAB-node, it comprises a Mobile Termination (MT) 603 (identified as IAB-MT), and a Distributed Unit (DU) 602 (identified as IAB-DU). The figure also shows a non-Fl terminating donor-CU (or non-Fl donor-CU) 604 terminating the RRC connection to the lAB-node 601 through the IAB-MT 603, and a Fl terminating donor-CU (or Fl donor-CU) 605 terminating the Fl connection to the lAB-node 601 through the IAB-DU 602. As an example and with reference to the IAB communication system of figure 5, the Fl terminating donor CU 605 for the lAB-node is the donor-CU 501, the MT 571 of the lAB-node 570 has migrated to the IAB topology 5002 managed by donor-CU 502 and the non-Fl terminating donor CU 604 is the donor-CU 502. At the beginning of the flow 600, it is assumed that the control path (Fl-C) and user path (Fl-U) setup by the Fl donor-CU 605 to reach the lAB-node 601, uses one or several backhaul path(s) through the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl donor-CU 604 through a donor-DU not represented in the figure 6. For instance, with reference to figure 5, one such backhaul path may include the donor-DU 505 and the lAB-node 530. Then, it is assumed that the non-Fl donor-CU 604 receiving a measurement report 611 from the lAB-node 601, initiates a MT migration of the lAB-node 601 as described above with reference to figure 5 in the case where the MT 571 of the lAB-node 570 is migrated 10 25 30 from lAB-node 530 to a new parent lAB-node 550, with both lAB-nodes 530 and 550 belonging to the same IAB topology 5002 which is managed by a non-Fl terminating donor CU. In this example, the MT migration may be considered as a consecutive MT migration as the MT migration from parent lAB-node 530 to parent lAB-node 550 involves a migration between two different donor DUs (505, 506) which are managed by donor-CU 502 which is different to donor-CU 501 which manages the DU (DU 572) of the lAB-node 570. The intra-CU topology adaptation procedure is used as an example to further describe the flows 600 of figure 6. The measurement report 611 is received by the non-Fl donor-CU 604 through the Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER (specified in TS 38.423) sent by the source parent lAB-node of the lAB-node 601 (for instance lAB-node 530 in the figure 5), which embeds the RRC message with the measurement report sent by the IAB-MT 603 to the DU part of the source parent lAB-node. The measurement report is the result of the measurements regularly performed by IAB-MT 603 on signals received from the serving cell and one or more target cells, such as the Signal Synchronization Block (SSB) transmitted in the serving cell and in the target cells. The target cells may be neighbouring cells to the serving or source cell (i.e. the current serving cell). Once the IAB-MT 603 discovers at least one SSB that meets predefined criteria (for instance a received power that exceeds a predefined threshold), a measurement report may be generated and transmitted to provide radio link quality information for different cells in the vicinity of the lAB-node 601. The identity of each target cell is included in the measurement report to allow the non-Fl donor-CU 604 to identify the target donor-CU associated with each target cell. Based on the received measurement report, the non-F 1 donor-CU 604 may detect that the lAB-node 601 receives radio signals in a target cell from a target parent lAB-node with a better quality than in the source serving cell. Taking the example of a target parent lAB-node (for instance lAB-node 550 in the figure 5) belonging to the same IAB topology as the source parent lAB-node (e.g. lAB-node 530), the non-Fl donor-CU 604 may decide to apply the intra-CU topology adaptation procedure for the lAB-node 601. Moreover, in the example, the target parent lAB-node involves a new donor DU to route packets (e.g. donor DU 506 instead of donor-DU 505 in the figure 5). Although in this example, the migration involves migrating the MT of the lAB-node 601 from a parent lAB-node 530 connected to donor-DU 505 to a new parent lAB-node 550 connected (albeit indirectly) to new donor-DU 506, it will be appreciated the following (e.g. the intra-CU topology adaptation procedure) may also be applied in the case where the migration involves migrating the MT of the lAB-node 601 from a parent lAB-node to a new parent lAB-node, where both the old and the new parent IAB-nodes are connected (directly or indirectly) to the same donor-DU. In this case, it is still helpful to inform the Fl donor-CU of such a migration because the F1-donor-CU may have to reconfigure the migrating lAB-node. Fl donor-CU can be informed by the non-Fl donor-CU with IAB transport migration modification procedure as discussed below. After requesting to the target parent lAB-node (e.g. lAB-node 550) to create a UE context for the lAB-node 601 (procedure not represented in the figure 6 specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.2.4), the non-Fl donor-CU 604 sends aRRC Reconfiguration message 612 to the IAB-MT 603, through the Fl message UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST sent to the source parent lAB-node, which will relay to the lAB-node 601 the RRC Reconfiguration information embedded in this Fl message. In particular, the RRC Reconfiguration message 612 contains the Transport Network Layer (TNL) address(es) (i.e. IP address(es)) identifying the target donor-DU for packets routing (e.g. data routing). In the example of the figure 5, the address(es) of the donor-DU 506 replace(s) the address(es) of the donor-DU 505. After the lAB-node 601 performs a random-access procedure toward the target parent lAB-node (e.g. lAB-node 550), the lAB-node 601 sends a RRC Reconfiguration Complete message 613 to the non-Fl donor-CU 604 (via the target parent lAB-node and a Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER embedding the RRC Reconfiguration Complete information). In case the intra-CU topological redundancy or the intra-CU backhaul RLF recovery procedure is used, the exchange of messages will be slightly different but in all cases the identification of the target donor-DU is provided to the lAB-node 601 through a message (e.g. a RRC Reconfiguration message) like the message 612. The next part concerns the update of routing paths, such as the Fl paths (Fl-C and Fl-U), between the lAB-node 601 and the Fl donor-CU 605 through the target donor-DU. The non-Fl donor-CU 604 configures BH RLC channels and BAP-sublayer routing entries (for backhaul links) on the target path between the target parent lAB-node (e.g. IAB-node 550) of the lAB-node 601 and the target lAB-donor-DU (e.g. donor-DU 506). The non-Fl donor-CU 604 may establish additional BH RLC channels to the migrating IAB-MT (e.g. for the backhaul link between the target parent lAB-node and the IAB-MT 603 of the IAB-node 601) via the RRC message 614. As a first option to inform the Fl donor-CU 605 about path information associated with one or more routing paths (e.g. backhaul paths) to be used for routing data associated 10 25 30 with the IAB node through the new parent IAB node, which path information may inform the Fl Donor-CU 605 of the target donor-DU, the DU part (IAB-DU 602) of the lAB-node 601 may send a DU Configuration message 615 to the Fl donor-CU 605. This message may be the Fl message gNB-DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE specified in TS 38.473 V17.2.0 section 9.2.1.7 including the identification of the target donor-DU for Fl-C and Fl-U traffic. This information is known by the lAB-node 601 since the reception of the message 612. The destination address of the message 615 is the Fl donor-CU 605, and when this IP packet is received by the target donor-DU, it can be routed in the wired backhaul (508 in the figure 5) up to the Fl donor-CU 605. With the reception of the identification of the target donor-DU, the Fl donor-CU 605 can update its configuration (e.g. update routing paths associated with the IAB node based on the received information) to deliver Fl packets to the lAB-node 601 via the target donor-DU (e.g. donor-DU 506). Then the path for the Fl control data (Fl-C) is updated. To complete the update of the path for Fl user data (Fl-U), the Fl donor-CU 605 may initiate the IAB Transport Migration Management procedure specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.5.2, with protocol messages (not represented in the figure 6) exchanged between the Fl donor-CU 605 and the non-Fl donor-CU 604. The non-Fl donor-CU 604 may provide new configuration parameters (e.g. BH RLC channels) to be used by the lAB-node 601 to send user data packets in the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl donor-CU 604. These configuration parameters may then be provided by the Fl donor-CU 605 to the lAB-node 601 through a F1 message (for instance using the BAP MAPPING CONFIGURATION message specified in TS 38.473 V17.2.0 section 9.2.9.1). As a second option to inform the Fl donor-CU 605 about path information associated with one or more routing paths (e.g. backhaul paths) to be used for routing data associated with the IAB node through the new parent IAB node, which path information may inform the Fl Donor-CU 605 of the address(es) of the target donor-DU (e.g. which represent one or more new paths to be used for routing data for the migrated mobile lAB-node 601), the non-Fl donor-CU 604 may provide this information by initiating a procedure represented with the messages Configuration Update 616 and Configuration Update Response 617. The message 616 sent by the non-Fl donor-CU 604 may include the identification of the target donor-DU, and the message 617 may be an acknowledgment from the Fl donor-CU. According to one example, the message 616 may be the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MODIFICATION REQUEST message, and the message 617 may the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MODIFICATION RESPONSE, both specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 (Xn protocol) sections 9.1.4.4 and 9.1.4.5, and used in the IAB Transport Migration Modification procedure. Thus, at the same time, the non-Fl donor-CU 604 may provide, in the message 616, new configuration parameters (e.g. BH RLC channels) to be used by the lAB-node 601 to send user data packets in the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl donor-CU 604. According to this example, the Fl donor-CU receives in a single message all the necessary information to update the Fl paths with the lAB-node 601 compared to option 1 described above where after receiving the DU configuration message 615, the Fl donor-CU 605 initiates the IAB Transport Migration Management procedure to update the path for Fl user data. According to another example, the message 616 may be the NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE message, and the message 617 may the NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACKNOWLEDGE, both specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 (Xn protocol) sections 9.1.3.4 and 9.1.3.5. After this NG-RAN node Configuration Update procedure and to complete the Fl paths setup, the Fl donor-CU 605 may execute, for instance, an IAB Transport Migration Management procedure, described in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.5.2. With this procedure, the Fl donor-CU 605 requests and gets from the non-Fl donor-CU 604 the information related to the Fl paths (e.g. the BH RLC channels) to be configure in the lAB-node 601. Instead of the IAB Transport Migration Management procedure, the non-Fl donor-CU 604 may initiate, for the same purpose (i.e. to complete the Fl paths setup after the NG-RAN node Configuration Update procedure), the IAB Transport Migration Modification procedure described in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.5.3. In order for the Fl donor-CU 605 to be able to identify the migrating lAB-node 601 associated with a message received at the Fl donor-CU 605, which message indicates an lAB-node has migrated within the IAB topology managed by the non-Fl donor-CU 604 and one or more new routing / backhaul paths are to be used for routing data associated with the migrating lAB-node, the message sent to the F1 donor-CU 605 includes one or more identifiers of the migrating lAB-node. For example, in those procedures (NG-RAN node Configuration Update, IAB Transport Migration Management and IAB Transport Migration Modification), the identifiers of the lAB-node 601 is present in all the messages with the information elements F1 -Terminating lAB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F 1-Terminating IAB -donor UE XnAP ID, both defined at the first MT migration of the lAB-node 601. As specified in TS 38.423 section 9.2.3.16, the NG-RANnode UEXnAP ID uniquely identifies a UE over the Xn interface within the NG-RAN node. Thus, each donor-CU assigns a value to each IAB node in its IAB topology (as the IAB-MT is considered as a UE). The Fl donor-CU 605 will 10 have assigned an ID to lAB-node 601 when it was admitted in its IAB topology. At MT migration the non-Fl donor-CU 604 will assign another ID to IAB node 601. Both IDs are exchanged in handover request / acknowledge messages. Figures 7a-7c are flowcharts showing example methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention that are performed at different network nodes in a wireless communication system (such as communication system shown and described with reference to figure 1 and IAB communication system shown and described with reference to figure 5). Briefly, a method for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) in which a MT of an IAB node (such as a mobile IAB node) is migrated (e.g. is migrated consecutively) in a second IAB topology from a first parent IAB network node (such as a source IAB network node) to a second parent IAB network node (such as a target IAB network node), where the IAB node is managed (or controlled or served) by a first IAB donor CU (e.g. the Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node with which the IAB node retains a Fl connection) of a first IAB topology and the first and second parent IAB network nodes are managed (or controlled or served) by a second IAB donor CU (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node with which the IAB node has a RRC connection) of the second IAB topology is disclosed. The method comprises sending, to the first IAB donor CU, path information associated with one or more routing paths in the second topology to be used for routing data associated with the IAB node (e.g. data to be routed to and from the IAB node) via or through the second parent IAB network node. The first parent IAB network node is associated with a first IAB donor Distributed Unit, DU, and the second parent IAB network node is associated with a second IAB donor DU, the first and second IAB donor DUs being connected to the second IAB donor CU. The first parent IAB network node is one of an IAB node of the second IAB topology or the first IAB donor DU and the second parent 25 IAB network node is one of an IAB node of the second IAB topology or the second IAB donor DU. The path information sent to the Fl terminating donor CU can be used to inform the Fl terminating donor CU of the one or more routing paths in a different topology to be used for routing data (e.g. Fl data, including user traffic, control traffic) to / from the IAB node, which one or more routing paths are new routing paths as they include a new parent 30 IAB network node. In the case where the migration between parent IAB network nodes involves a new donor-DU (e.g. when the new parent IAB network node is either a new IAB donor DU or a parent IAB node connected (directly or indirectly) to a new IAB donor DU, the one or more routing paths are for routing data associated with the IAB node through the new IAB donor DU. The information associated with one or more routing paths may be or may include one or more addresses or address information (such as IP address(es), TNL address(es)) associated with the second or new IAB donor DU. An IAB TNL address is specified in TS 38.423 section 9.2.2.92: it indicates an IPv4 or IPv6 address or an IPv6 address prefix 5 assigned to an lAB-node. There may be one or several IP address for Fl-C traffic and one or several address for Fl-U traffic (see TS 38.331 section 5.3.5.12a. 1.2, IP Address Addition / Modification). In an example, identification information including at least one identifier of the IAB node may be sent. Such identifiers may include the identifiers known to the Fl terminating donor CU and the non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node: for 10 example, the message may include one or more of the information elements Fl-Terminating lAB-donor IJEXnAP ID and non-Fl-Terminating IAB-donor UE XnAP ID. The path information and identification information may be sent by the IAB node (e.g. as described below in more detail with reference to figure 7a) or by the second IAB donor CU (e.g. the non-Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node) (e.g. as described below in more 15 detail with reference to figure 7b). The second IAB donor CU (e.g. the non-Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node) may also send configuration information including configuration parameters, such as one or more of BH RLC channel information and BAP-sublayer routing information, for each backhaul link in the one or more routing paths. The path information and the configuration information may be sent by the second IAB donor CU 20 (e.g. the non-Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node) in the same message. Although the following methods / apparatus will be described primarily with respect to a mobile IAB node, it will be appreciated that it is not intended that the invention is limited to mobile IAB nodes. The methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention may apply to stationary IAB nodes e.g. that are at the edge of one IAB topology 25 and in the proximity of one or more IAB nodes in a neighbouring IAB topology. Thus, by means of the information (e.g. address(es) of the target donor DU associated with the new parent IAB network node to which the IAB node is to be or has already migrated) sent to the first IAB donor CU (Fl terminating donor CU) of the IAB node by the second IAB donor CU (non-Fl terminating donor CU) or by the IAB node, the Fl 30 terminating donor CU can be informed of migration of the MT of an IAB node between parent IAB network nodes in the IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node (e.g. consecutive MT migration of the IAB node) and of at least one new routing path to be used to route data (e g. Fl data, user traffic or control traffic) for the migrated IAB node in the IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor CU (e.g. for routing data to / from the migrated IAB node or between the migrated IAB node and the Fl terminating donor CU in the IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor CU). The Fl terminating donor CU may then update configuration information for the IAB node based on the received information so as to update routing paths (e.g. the Fl-C and Fl-U routing paths) for the lAB-node to the new routing paths for routing data to / from the IAB node via or through the target donor DU. Figure 7a is a flowchart showing an example method 700, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at an IAB node (e.g. a mobile IAB node or mlAB node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) in which a MT of the IAB node is migrated (e.g. is migrated consecutively) in a second IAB topology which is different to a first IAB topology to which the IAB node belongs. Method 700 is for managing, at an lAB-node, consecutive MT migration in the IAB topology controlled by its non-Fl terminating donor-CU. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 5, the IAB node performing the method 700 may be the mobile lAB-node 570 belonging to IAB topology 5001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 501 (e.g. a Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 570 with which the mobile IAB node 570 retains a Fl connection). The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 571 of the mlAB node 570 from parent IAB node 530 associated with IAB donor DU 505 to parent IAB node 550 associated with IAB donor DU 506 (when the routing path for the mobile IAB node 570 switches from a routing path including the parent IAB node 530 and IAB donor DU 505 to a routing path including the parent IAB node 550, IAB node 540 and IAB donor DU 506) in the IAB topology 5002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 502 (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 570 with which the mobile IAB node 570 has a RRC connection). The method 700 as shown in and described with respect to figure 7a may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The IAB node may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 7a being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. As part of the migration process where the MT of an lAB-node, such as the MT 571 of mobile lAB-node 570, which is controlled by a Fl terminating donor CU, such as the IAB donor CU 501 of IAB topology 5001, is migrated from one parent IAB network node associated with one IAB donor DU (e.g. source donor-DU) to another parent IAB network node associated with another IAB donor DU (e.g. target donor-DU) in the same IAB 10 25 30 topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor-CU (e.g. from IAB donor DU 505 to IAB donor DU 506 in the IAB topology 5002 controlled by IAB donor-CU 502), at step 701, an lAB-node, like the lAB-node 570, may receive from its non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 502, path information associated with the one or more routing paths in the second IAB topology to be used for routing data associated with the IAB node through the target parent IAB network node. The path information may include one or more address(es) of the target donor-DU (e.g. IP addresses), like the donor-DU 506, in the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl donor-CU. For example, the lAB-node may receive the address(es) of the target donor-DU in a message such as message 612 as described above. At step 702, the lAB-node 570 sends path information associated with one or more routing paths to be used for routing data associated with or for the mobile IAB node 570 (e.g. for routing data to and from the mobile IAB node) via the target IAB donor DU (e.g. IAB donor DU 506). The path information may be sent after the MT of the IAB node 570 has migrated. The path information associated with one or more routing paths may be or may include address information such as one or more addresses (such as IP address(es), TNL address(es)) associated with the second IAB donor DU (e.g. the target donor DU). In an example, the lAB-node 570 may further send identification information including an identifier(s) of the mobile IAB node known by the two IAB donor-CUs 501, 502: for example, the message may include one or more of the information elements F1-Terminating lAB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F1 -Terminating 1AB-donor UE XnAP ID. The IAB node 570 may send the received path information (e.g. received address(es) of the target donor-DU) to its Fl terminating donor-CU, like donor-CU 501, controlling another IAB topology 5001 to that of the IAB topology 5002 controlled by the donor-CU 502. For example, the lAB-node 570 may send the received address(es) of the target donor-DU in a message such as DU configuration message 615 as described above. Figure 7b is a flowchart showing an example method 710, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at a second IAB donor CU (e.g. the non-Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) for a MT of an IAB node (e.g. a mobile IAB node or mlAB node). Method 710 is for managing, at the non-Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node, the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 5, the second IAB donor CU performing the method 710 may be the IAB donor CU 502 (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node 570 with which the IAB node 570 has a RRC 10 25 30 connection). The IAB node may be mobile lAB-node 570 belonging to IAB topology 5001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 501 (e.g. a Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 570 with which the mobile IAB node 570 retains a Fl connection). The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 571 of the mlAB node 570 from parent IAB node 530 associated with IAB donor DU 505 to parent IAB node 550 associated with IAB donor DU 506 in the IAB topology 5002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 502. The method 710 as shown in and described with respect to figure 7b may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The non-Fl terminating IAB donor CU may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 7b being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. At step 711, a non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 502, of an lAB-node, like the lAB-node 570, determines the MT of an lAB-node, such as the MT 571 of mobile lAB-node 570, which is controlled by a Fl terminating donor CU, such as the IAB donor CU 501 of IAB topology 5001, is to be migrated from a first parent IAB network node to a second parent IAB network node in the same IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor-CU (e.g. the migration involves a change from IAB donor DU 505 to IAB donor DU 506 in the IAB topology 5002 controlled by IAB donor-CU 502). The first parent IAB network node is associated with an IAB donor DU (e.g. source donor-DU) and the first parent IAB network node may be the source donor-DU or another IAB node. The second parent IAB network node is associated with a second IAB donor DU (e.g. target donor-DU) and the second parent IAB network node may be the target donor-DU or another IAB node. For example, a non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 502, determines that the execution of an intra-CU procedure leads to the identification of a target donor-DU to route the packets to or from the lAB-node 570 in the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502. The intra-CU procedure may be an intra-CU topology adaptation procedure, or an intra-CU topological redundancy procedure, or intra-CU backhaul RLF recovery procedure for the lAB-node as discussed above. At step 712, the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502 sends to the Fl terminating donor-CU 501 of the lAB-node 570 controlling another IAB topology, path information associated with one or more routing paths to be used for routing data associated with or for the IAB node 570 via the second IAB donor DU 506 (e.g. for routing data to and from the IAB node 570 via the second IAB donor DU 506). The path information associated with one or more routing paths may be or may include address information such as one or more addresses 10 25 30 (such as IP address(es), TNL address(es)) associated with the second IAB donor DU (e.g. the target donor DU). In an example, the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502 may send identification information including an identified s) of the mobile IAB node known by the two IAB donor-CUs 501, 502: for example, the message may include one or more of the information elements F1-Terminating IAB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F 1-Terminating IAB-donor UEXnAPID. The non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502 may therefore send to the Fl terminating donor-CU 501 of the lAB-node 570 the address(es) of the target donor-DU along with the identifiers of the lAB-node known by the two donor-CUs. For example, the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502 may send the received address(es) of the target donor-DU in a message such as message 616 described above. Configuration information including configuration parameters, such as one or more of BH RLC channel information and BAP-sublayer routing information, for each backhaul link in the one or more routing paths may also be sent by the non-Fl terminating donor-CU. The configuration information may be sent in the same message as the received address(es) as discussed above. Figure 7c is a flowchart showing an example method 720, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at a first donor CU (e.g. the Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) for a MT of an IAB node. Method 710 is for managing, at the Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node, the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node in the IAB topology of the non-Fl terminating donor-CU of the lAB-node. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 5, the first IAB donor CU performing the method 720 may be the IAB donor CU 501 (e.g a Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node 570 with which the IAB node 570 retains a Fl connection). The IAB node may be mobile lAB-node 570 belonging to IAB topology 5001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 501. The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 571 of the mlAB node 570 from parent IAB node 530 associated with TAB donor DU 505 to parent IAB node 550 associated with IAB donor DU 506 in the IAB topology 5002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 502 (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 570 with which the mobile IAB node 570 has a RRC connection). The method 720 as shown in and described with respect to figure 7c may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The Fl terminating IAB donor CU may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 7c being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. 10 25 30 As part of the migration process where the MT of an lAB-node, such as the MT 571 of mobile lAB-node 570, which is controlled by a Fl terminating donor CU, such as the IAB donor CU 501 of IAB topology 5001, is migrated from one parent IAB network node associated with one IAB donor DU (e.g. source donor-DU) to another parent IAB network node associated with another IAB donor DU (e.g. target donor-DU) in the same IAB topology controlled by a non-Fl terminating donor-CU (e.g. from IAB donor DU 505 to IAB donor DU 506 in the IAB topology 5002 controlled by IAB donor-CU 502), at step 721, the Fl terminating donor-CU, like the lAB-donor-CU 501, receives path information associated with one or more routing paths to be used for routing data associated with or for the mobile IAB node 570 (e.g. for routing data to and from the mobile IAB node) via or through the target IAB donor DU (e.g. IAB donor DU 506). The path information may be received from the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502 of the lAB-node 570 or may be received from the lAB-node 570. The path information may be received after the MT of the IAB node 570 has migrated. The path information associated with one or more routing paths may be or may include address information, such as one or more addresses (such as IP address(es), TNL address(es)) associated with the second IAB donor DU (e.g. the target donor DU). In an example, the Fl terminating donor CU may also receive identification information including an identifier(s) of the mobile IAB node known by the two IAB donor-CUs 501, 502: for example, the message may include one or more of the information elements F1-Terminating lAB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F 1-Terminating IAB-donor UE XnAP ID. For example, the Fl terminating donor-CU, like the lAB-donor-CU 501, receives, from the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502 of an lAB-node with its MT part already migrated in the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502, the address(es) of a target donor-DU (e.g. target donor DU 506), along with the identifiers of the lAB-node known by the two donor-CUs (e.g. in a message such as message 616). Alternatively, the address(es) of the target donor-DU are received from the lAB-node (e.g. in a message such as message 615). When the message is received from the non-Fl terminating donor CU 502 of the mobile IAB node, the message may also include configuration parameters, such as one or more of BH RLC channel information and BAP-sublayer routing information, for each backhaul link in the one or more routing paths. At step 722, the Fl terminating donor-CU 501 may update configuration information for the lAB-node 570 based on the received information so as to update routing paths (e.g. the Fl-C and Fl-U routing paths) associated with or for the lAB-node 570 to the new routing paths for routing data to / from the IAB node via the target donor-DU 506. For example, the Fl 10 25 30 terminating donor-CU updates the Fl paths (control and user data paths) to reach the IAB-node through the target donor-DU in the IAB topology controlled by the non-Fl terminating donor-CU of the lAB-node. The Fl terminating donor-CU 501 may also send configuration information to the lAB-node 570 to configure the lAB-node based on the configuration parameters, such as one or more of BH RLC channel information and BAP-sublayer routing information, received from the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 502. Figure 8 illustrates an example of another IAB communication system (or IAB network system) 800 in which embodiments and examples of embodiments of the present invention may be implemented. In one example implementation, the BH radio links are operated over the millimeter wave frequency band (i.e. above 30 GHz), which is highly sensitive to radio channel disturbance. An IAB network will also be referred to as an IAB topology or topology and so in this application, the terms IAB network and IAB topology and topology will be used interchangeably. IAB communication system 800 is composed of three IAB networks or IAB topologies 8001, 8002, and 8003 with each IAB topology comprising a set of IAB nodes (e.g. the set may comprise a plurality of IAB nodes or at least one IAB node) and an lAB-donor-CU for controlling or managing the plurality of IAB nodes. The set of IAB nodes may include one or more lAB-nodes, such as initiator lAB-nodes which generate BAP packets and also intermediate or relay lAB-nodes. Each of the IAB nodes communicate with at least one other IAB node over a wireless backhaul (BH) link. Although Figure 8 shows three IAB topologies 8001, 8002, and 8003, the present invention is not limited to three IAB topologies and may be implemented in an IAB communication system comprising more than two IAB topologies with each topology comprising a set of IAB nodes and an IAB donor-CU as discussed above. As discussed above, each IAB node comprises a Mobile Termination (MT) part or unit, controlled and configured by the IAB donor using RRC messaging as defined in 3GPP TS 38.331, and a Distributed Unit (DU) part, controlled and configured by the TAB donor using Fl-AP messaging as defined in 3GPP TS 38.473. For example, lAB-node 810 comprises a MT part or unit 811 and a DU part 812. lAB-node 870 is a mobile IAB node and thus includes a mobile MT (MT) 871 and a mobile DU (DU) 872. IAB topology 8001 includes lAB-donor-CU 801 (identified as Donor 1-CU in Figure 8), and its associated lAB-donor-DU 804 (identified as Donorl-DUl in Figure 8), and a plurality of lAB-nodes 810 and 820, similar to lAB-nodes 121 and 122. IAB topology 8002 includes lAB-donor-CU 802 (identified as Donor2-CU in Figure 8), its associated lAB-donor-DUs, lAB-donor-DU 805 (identified as Donor2-DUl in Figure 8) and lAB-donor-DU 806 (identified as Donor2-DU2 in Figure 8), and a plurality of IAB-nodes 830, 840, 850, similar to lAB-nodes 121 and 122, and lAB-node 870, that may be similar to mobile lAB-node 123. All lAB-nodes can be access nodes serving UEs like the UE 880 served by the mobile lAB-node 870. The IAB topology 8002 is transparent for the UE 5 880 that connects to the donor-CU 802 through the DU part or unit DU 872 of the mobile lAB-node 870. Although figure 8 shows only one UE 880, it will be appreciated that there will be a plurality of UEs connected to the network nodes of the IAB communication system 800. IAB topology 8003 includes lAB-donor-CU 803 (identified as Donor 1-CU in Figure 8), 10 and its associated lAB-donor-DU 807 (identified as Donorl-DUl in Figure 8), and an lAB-node 860, similar to lAB-nodes 121 and 122. A wired backhaul IP network interconnects the lAB-donor-CUs 801, 802, and 803, and the lAB-donor-DUs 804, 805, 806 and 807 through the wired backhaul 808. For instance, this wired backhaul 808 consists of optical fiber cables. 15 lAB-Donor-CU 801, lAB-Donor-DU 804 and lAB-nodes 810 and 820 are part of the same IAB network or IAB topology 8001, which is configured and managed or controlled by lAB-Donor-CU 801. lAB-Donor-CU 802, lAB-Donor-DUs 805 and 806, and lAB-nodes 830, 840, 850 are part of the same IAB network or IAB topology 8002, which is configured and managed or 20 controlled by lAB-Donor-CU 802. lAB-Donor-CU 803, lAB-Donor-DU 807, and lAB-node 860 are part of the same IAB network or IAB topology 8003, which is configured and managed or controlled by IAB-Donor-CU 803. It is assumed that the mobile lAB-node 870 had initially a single parent lAB-node 820, 25 and that lAB-node 870 belongs to the IAB topology 8001 controlled by the lAB-Donor-CU 801. When moving, and in view of its proximity to IAB topology 8002, in particular to the lAB-node 830 when the mobile lAB-node 870 is in the position shown in dotted lines in figure 8, the mobile lAB-node 870 may be able to establish a wireless BH link with the IAB-node 830. Such a BH link is possible for a stationary lAB-node, and it is very likely to 30 happen for a mobile lAB-node like lAB-node 870, moving, for instance, in the direction of the IAB topology 8002 (shown by arrow 890 in figure 8). Then, the Fl donor-CU 801 may have decided to perform the migration of the MT part 871 of the lAB-node 870 toward the IAB topology controlled by the donor-CU 802, which became the non-Fl donor-CU for the lAB-node 870 (i.e. the MT part 871 of the lAB-node 870 is migrated toward the parent lAB-node 830). For this purpose, the Fl donor-CU 801 may have initiated the inter-CU Topology Adaptation procedure described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.3.1 or section 8.17.3.2 (when the lAB-node 870 has descendant IAB-nodes). As a result, the lAB-node 801 still belongs to the IAB topology 8001, with its Fl connection to the donor-CU 801, but its RRC connection is now to the donor-CU2 802. After that procedure, the lAB-donor-CU 801 may request the migration toward the IAB topology 8002 (i.e. through the donor-DU 805) of the backhaul traffic related to the lAB-node 870. In this case, the donor-CU 801 triggers the IAB transport migration management procedure specified in TS 38.423 VI7.2.0 section 8.5.2. While the mobile lAB-node 870 is still moving, the MT part 871 of the lAB-node 870 may then have been migrated by the non-Fl donor-CU 802 toward the parent lAB-node 850, using the backhaul link 8050 between the lAB-node 850 and the lAB-node 870. For this purpose, the non-Fl donor-CU 802 may have applied the intra-CU topology adaptation procedure described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.2.3.1 (or section 8.17.3.2), resulting in a consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 870 with a new single parent lAB-node 850. Still, the lAB-node 801 has its Fl connection with the donor-CU 801 and its RRC connection with the donor-CU2 802. After being informed to use the donor-DU 506 instead of donor-DU 505 to route the Fl traffic related to the lAB-node 870, the donor-CU 801 may request the migration of the traffic related to the lAB-node 570 toward the IAB topology 5002. In this case, the donor-CU 801 triggers the IAB transport migration management procedure specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.5.2. While further moving, this time in the direction of IAB topology 8003 controlled by the donor-CU 803, the lAB-node 870 may become in a position where a backhaul link 8060 with 25 the lAB-node 860 may have a better quality than the backhaul link 8050 with the lAB-node 850. Thus, the donor-CU 802 may apply the inter-CU Topology Adaptation procedure described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.3.1 or 8.17.3.2. After this consecutive MT migration, the lAB-node 801 still belongs to the IAB topology 8001, with its Fl connection with the donor-CU 801, but its RRC connection with the donor-CU3 803. However, the 30 donor-CU 801 has to be informed of the new non-Fl donor-CU 803 for the lAB-node 870 and of the new donor-DU 807 to redirect the offloaded traffic (control and user traffic) through the donor-DU 807 instead of donor-DU 806. In all the MT migration cases described above, the UE 880 still connects to the donor-CU 801 through the DU part or unit DU 872 of the mobile lAB-node 870. In case the IAB- node 870 has some child lAB-node(s), such child lAB-node still belongs to the IAB topology 8001, and it is still fully controlled (through Fl and RRC connections) by the donor-CU 801. Examples of methods, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, which enable the Fl terminating donor CU of an IAB node to be informed of migration of the MT of the IAB node between one IAB topology (source topology) controlled by a non-F 1 terminating donor CU of the IAB node to another IAB topology (target topology) controlled by another non-F 1 terminating donor CU of the IAB node (e.g. consecutive MT migration of the IAB node between non-F 1 terminating topologies) and of at least one new routing path to be used to route data (e.g. Fl traffic, user traffic and control traffic) associated with or for the migrated IAB node in the target IAB topology (e.g. to be used for routing data to / from the migrated IAB node or between the migrated IAB node and the Fl terminating donor CU in the IAB topology controlled by a non-F 1 terminating donor CU) will now be described. Although the following methods / apparatus will be described primarily with respect to a mobile IAB node, it will be appreciated that it is not intended that the invention is limited to mobile IAB nodes. The methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention may apply to stationary IAB nodes e.g. that are at the edge of one IAB topology and in the proximity of one or more IAB nodes in a neighbouring IAB topology. Figure 9 is a schematic and simplified diagram 900 illustrating some example message flows according to one or more embodiments of the invention, to perform a consecutive MT migration of an lAB-node toward a target IAB topology, including the setup of the control data path. Consecutive MT migration may involve a new MT migration between different parent IAB nodes which are managed by different donor-CUs which are different to the donor-CU serving the DU of the IAB node. This figure shows an lAB-node 901 that may be a mobile lAB-node like the lAB-node 870 of figure 8 and / or the lAB-node 123 of figure 1, composed of a Mobile Termination (MT) 903 (identified as IAB-MT), and of a Distributed Unit (DU) 902 (identified as IAB-DU). The figure also shows a source non-F 1 terminating donor-CU (or non-F 1 donor-CU) 905 terminating the RRC connection to the lAB-node 901 through the IAB-MT 903, a Fl terminating donor-CU (or Fl donor-CU) 904 terminating the Fl connection to the lAB-node 901 through the IAB-DU 902, and a target non-F 1 donor-CU 906 that becomes, during the described procedure, the new non-F 1 terminating donor-CU for the lAB-node 901. As an example and with reference to the IAB communication system of figure 8, the Fl terminating donor CU 904 for the lAB-node is the donor-CU 801, the MT 871 of the lAB-node 870 has migrated to the IAB topology 8002 managed by donor-CU 802 and so the source non-Fl terminating donor CU 905 is the donor-CU 802. As the lAB-node moves towards the IAB topology 8003, the IAB node 860 is identified as a target IAB node to which the MT of IAB node 870 can be migrated and so the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 906 is the donor-CU 803. At the beginning of the flow 900, it is assumed that the control path (Fl-C) and user path (Fl-U) setup by the Fl donor-CU 904 to reach the lAB-node 901, uses one or several backhaul path(s) through the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 through a donor-DU not represented in the figure 9. For instance, with reference to figure 8, one such backhaul path may include the donor-DU 806 and the IAB nodes 840 and 850. The first part of the flowchart describes the procedure 910 to migrate the IAB-MT 903 from the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 to the target non-Fl donor-CU 906, and the setup of the new path for RRC protocol messages. Indeed, it is assumed that the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 receiving a measurement report 911 from the lAB-node 901, initiates a consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 901 to another IAB topology as described above with reference to figure 8 in the case where the MT 871 (903) of the lAB-node 870 (901) is migrated from the parent lAB-node 850 of IAB topology 8002 to a new parent lAB-node 860 of the different IAB topology 8003. The inter-CU topology adaptation procedure is used as an example to further describe the flows 900 of figure 9. The measurement report 911 is received by the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 through the Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER (specified in TS 38.423) sent by the source parent lAB-node of the lAB-node 901 (for instance parent lAB-node 850 in the figure 8), which embeds the RRC message with the measurement report sent by the IAB-MT 903 to the DU part of the source parent lAB-node. The measurement report is the result of the measurements regularly performed by IAB-MT 903 on signals received from the serving cell and one or more target cells, such as the Signal Synchronization Block (SSB) transmitted in the serving cell and in the target cells. The target cells may be neighbouring cells to the serving or source cell (i.e. the current serving cell). Once the IAB-MT 903 discovers at least one SSB that meets predefined criteria (for instance a received power that exceeds a predefined threshold), a measurement report may be generated and transmitted to provide radio link quality information for different cells in the vicinity of the lAB-node 901. The identity of each cell is included in the measurement report to allow the non-Fl donor-CU 905 to identify the target CU associated with the cell. Indeed, the identification of a donor-CU can 25 be deduced from the Physical Cell identity (PCI) broadcasted in each cell managed by this donor-CU in a synchronization signal, and / or from the New Radio Cell Group Identifier (NCGI) also broadcasted in each cell managed by this donor-CU in a System Information Block (SIB) message. The PCI and / or the NCGI may be reported by the lAB-node 901 in the measurement report 911. Based on the received measurement report, the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 may detect that the lAB-node 901 receives radio signals in a target cell of a target parent IAB-node with a better quality than in the source serving cell. Taking the example of a target parent lAB-node (for instance lAB-node 860 in the figure 8) belonging to a different IAB topology as the source parent lAB-node (e g. parent lAB-node 850), the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 may decide to apply the inter-CU topology adaptation procedure for the IAB-node 901. The target parent lAB-node in the target IAB topology involves a new donor DU to route packets (e.g. donor DU 807 instead of donor-DU 806 in the figure 8). The target parent lAB-node may be an lAB-node or an IAB donor DU. The IAB-MT 903 migration is triggered by the handover preparation procedure 912 described in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.2.1, where the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 sends a HANDOVER REQUEST message to the target non-Fl donor-CU 906 including the necessary information related to the IAB-MT 903 so that handover can be performed. For instance, the message includes the identification of the target cell where the lAB-node 901 will switch to, and thus it identifies the target parent lAB-node that controls the target cell. After requesting to the target parent lAB-node a UE context setup for the lAB-node 901, the target non-Fl donor-CU 906 performs admission control and provides the new RRC configuration information to the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 with the HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message. The individual steps of the handover procedure are not shown in figure 9 which for simplicity shows box 912 representing the IAB-MT handover. Then, the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 can relay the RRC configuration information to the IAB-MT 903 through the message RRC Reconfiguration 913. Actually, the message 913 is first embedded in the Fl message UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST, specified in TS 38.473, and sent by the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 to the source parent lAB-node of the lAB-node 901. Then this source parent IAB sends the RRC Reconfiguration message 913 to the IAB-MT 903. In particular, the RRC Reconfiguration message 913 contains address information, such as the Transport Network Layer (TNL) address(es) (i.e. IP address(es)) identifying the target donor-DU for packets routing (e.g. data routing). In the example of the figure 8, the address(es) of the donor-DU 807 replace(s) the address(es) of the donor-DU 806. After the lAB-node 901 performs a random-access procedure toward the target parent IAB node (e.g. lAB-node 860 in figure 8), the lAB-node 901 sends a RRC Reconfiguration Complete message 914 to the target non-Fl donor-CU 906 (via the target parent lAB-node and a Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER embedding the RRC Reconfiguration Complete information). The procedure 910 ends with the Xn message UE CONTEXT RELEASE 915, specified in TS 38.423, sent by the target non-Fl donor-CU 906 to the source non-Fl donor-CU 905. However, the identifiers of the lAB-node 901 at the Fl donor-CU 904 and at the source non-F1 donor-CU 905 are retained by the source non-F 1 donor-CU 905 as F1 paths for the 1AB-node 901 may still be used through the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 905. The next part (messages 921 and 922) concerns the procedure 920 to update Fl paths (Fl-C and Fl-U) between the lAB-node 901 and the Fl donor-CU 905 through the target donor-DU in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl donor-CU 906. The target non-Fl donor-CU 906 configures BH RLC channels and BAP layer routing entries on the target path between the target parent lAB-node (e.g. IAB node 860 in figure 8) of the lAB-node 901 and the target lAB-donor-DU (e.g. IAB donor DU 807 in figure 8). The target non-Fl donor-CU 906 may establish additional BH RLC channels and BAP configurations to the migrating IAB-MT via RRC message 921. Then, the DU part (IAB-DU 902) of the lAB-node 901 may send a DU Configuration message 922 to the Fl donor-CU 904. This message may be the Fl message gNB-DU CONFIGURATION UPDATE specified in TS 38.473 V17.2.0 section 9.2.1.7 including the identifier of the target non-Fl donor-CU 906 and the identification of the target donor-DU for Fl-C and Fl-U traffic. The PCI and / or the NCGI of the target cell managed by the target non-Fl donor-CU 906 may be reported by the lAB-node 901 to the Fl donor-CU 904, so that the Fl donor-CU 904 may derive the identifier of the target non-Fl donor-CU 906. The address(es), such as IP address(es), of the target donor-DU is known by the lAB-node 901 since the reception of the message 913. The destination address of the message 922 is the Fl donor-CU 904, and when this IP packet is received by the target donor-DU in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl donor-CU 906, the IP packet can be routed in the wired backhaul (808 in the figure 8) up to the Fl donor-CU 904. With the reception of the identification of the target donor-DU, the Fl donor-CU 904 can update its configuration (e.g. update routing paths associated with the IAB node based on the received information) to deliver Fl packets to the lAB-node 901 via or through the target donor-DU (e.g. IAB donor DU 807) of the IAB topology 8003. Then the path for the Fl control data (Fl-C) is updated. As an alternative option to inform the Fl donor-CU 904 about the identifier of the target non-Fl donor-CU, the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 may provide this information by initiating a procedure represented with the messages Configuration Update 923 and Configuration Update Response 924. The message 923 sent by the source non-Fl donor-CU 904 may include the identifier of the target non-Fl donor-CU 906, and the message 924 may be an acknowledgment from the Fl donor-CU 904. The identifier of a donor-CU is specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 9.2.2.3 with the information element Global NG-RANNode ID. According to one example, the message 923 may be the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MODIFICATION REQUEST message, and the message 924 may the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MODIFICATION RESPONSE, both specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 (Xn protocol) sections 9.1.4.4 and 9.1.4.5, and which are messages used in the IAB Transport Migration Modification procedure. By using this procedure, the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 may also inform the Fl donor-CU 904 to release the traffic offloaded through the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 905. According to another example, the message 923 may be the NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE message, and the message 924 may the NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACKNOWLEDGE, both specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 (Xn protocol) sections 9.1.3.4 and 9.1.3.5, and which are messages used in the NG-RAN node Configuration Update procedure. In order for the Fl donor-CU 904 to be able to identify the migrating lAB-node 901 associated with a message received at the Fl donor-CU 904, which message indicates an lAB-node has migrated from the IAB topology managed by a source non-Fl donor-CU 905 to a target IAB topology managed by a target non-Fl donor-CU 906 (a new non-Fl donor CU) and one or more new paths are to be used for routing data for the migrating lAB-node through the topology of the target non-Fl donor-CU 906, the message sent to the Fl donor-CU 605 includes identifiers of the migrating lAB-node associated with each of the non-Fl donor CU controlled IAB topologies. For example, in those procedures (NG-RAN node Configuration Update, IAB Transport Migration Modification), the identifiers of the IAB-node 901 is present in all the messages with the information elements F1-Terminating IAB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F 1-Terminating IAB-donor UE XnAP ID, both defined at the first MT migration of the lAB-node 901 to a first non-Fl donor CU controlled IAB topology (at the Fl donor-CU 904 and the source non-Fl donor-CU 905). At the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 901 to a second non-Fl donor CU controlled IAB topology (the target IAB topology), the target non-Fl donor-CU 906 assigns an identifier to the lAB-node 901, which is shared with the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 in the HANDOVER REQUEST 5 ACKNOWLEDGE message containing the Target NG-RAN node UE XnAP ID information element. Figure 10 is a schematic and simplified diagram 1000 illustrating some example message flows in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, to setup the user data path for a consecutive MT migration of an lAB-node toward a target IAB 10 topology. Figure 10 shows the next step(s) following the procedures described with reference to figure 9 with the steps 910 and 920. This figure shows an lAB-node 1001 that may be a mobile lAB-node like the lAB-node 870 of figure 8 and / or the lAB-node 123 of figure 1, composed of a Mobile Termination (MT) 1003 (identified as IAB-MT), and of a Distributed Unit (DU) 1002 (identified as IAB- 15 DU). The figure also shows a source non-Fl terminating donor-CU (or non-Fl donor-CU) nJ 1005 terminating the RRC connection to the lAB-node 1001 through the IAB-MT 1003, a Fl terminating donor-CU (or Fl donor-CU) 1004 terminating the Fl connection to the lAB-node 1001 through the IAB-DU 1002, and a target non-Fl donor-CU 1006 that becomes, during the described procedure, the new non-Fl terminating donor-CU for the lAB-node 1001. As 20 an example and with reference to the IAB communication system of figure 8, the Fl terminating donor CU 1004 for the lAB-node is the donor-CU 801, the MT 871 of the IAB-node 870 has migrated to the IAB topology 8002 managed by donor-CU 802 and so the source non-Fl terminating donor CU 1005 is the donor-CU 802. As the lAB-node moves towards the IAB topology 8003, the IAB node 860 is identified as a target IAB node to which 25 the mMT of IAB node 870 can be migrated and so the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 1006 is the donor-CU 803. At the beginning of the flow 1000, it is assumed that the control path (F1 -C) and user path (FLU) setup by the Fl donor-CU 1004 to reach the lAB-node 1001, uses one or several backhaul path(s) in the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005 30 through a donor-DU not represented in the figure 10. For instance, with reference to figure 8, one such backhaul path may include the donor-DU 806 and the IAB nodes 840 and 850. A consecutive MT migration of the mobile lAB-node 1001 toward a target IAB topology is performed with the step 1010 corresponding to the step 910 of the figure 9. Then, the control data path is setup in the target topology with the step 1020 corresponding to the step 920 of the figure 9. To complete the consecutive MT migration, the paths for Fl user data (Fl-U) shall be updated with the procedure 1030. The Fl donor-CU 1004 may initiate the IAB Transport Migration Management procedure specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.5.2, with protocol messages directly exchanged between the Fl donor-CU 1004 and the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006, without the involvement of the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005. The Fl donor-CU 1004 sends to the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006 the message 1031 corresponding to the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MODIFICATION REQUEST message specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 (Xn protocol) section 9.1.4.2, for the purpose of setting up the configuration of the user traffic to / from the lAB-node 1001 in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006. According to this request, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006 may configure or modify BH RLC channels and BAP layer routing entries on the target path between the lAB-node 1001 and the target lAB-donor-DU. In particular, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006 may send the message 1032 to the lAB-node 1001 containing BAP configuration information. The message 1032 may be the RRC Reconfiguration message specified in TS 38.331. Then, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006 responds to the Fl donor-CU 1004 with the message 1033 corresponding to the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MANAGEMENT RESPONSE, specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 (Xn protocol) section 9.1.4.3, to provide new configuration parameters (e.g. BH RLC channels) to be used by the lAB-node 1001 to send user data packets in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006. These configuration parameters may then be provided by the Fl donor-CU 1005 to the lAB-node 1001 through the message 1034 (for instance using the Fl message BAP MAPPING CONFIGURATION message specified in TS 38.473 V17.2.0 section 9.2.9.1). Finally, and in case the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005 has not used the IAB Transport Migration Modification procedure to request the release of the traffic offloaded by the Fl donor-CU 1004 (i.e. with the messages 923 and 924 in the figure 9), the Fl donor-CU 1004 may initiate the IAB Transport Migration Management procedure with the messages 1035 and 1036. By using this procedure, the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005 may also inform the Fl donor-CU 1004 to release the traffic offloaded through the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005. The Fl donor-CU 1004 sends to the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005 the message 1035 corresponding to the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MANAGEMENT REQUEST message specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 9.1.4.2, for the purpose of releasing the traffic to / from the lAB-node 1001 offloaded in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006. Then, the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005 responds to the Fl donor-CU 1004 with the message 1036 corresponding to the IAB TRANSPORT MIGRATION MANAGEMENT RESPONSE, specified in TS 38.423 ¥17.2.0 (Xn protocol) section 9.1.4.3. In the procedure IAB Transport Migration Management, the identifiers of the lAB-node 1001 is present in all the messages with the information elements F1 -Terminating 1AB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F1 -Terminating lAB-donor UE XnAP ID, either defined at the first MT migration of the lAB-node 1001 to a first non-Fl donor CU controlled IAB topology (at the Fl donor-CU 1004 and the source non-Fl donor-CU 1005), or at the target non-Fl donor-CU 1006 during the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 1001 to a second non-Fl donor CU controlled IAB topology (the target IAB topology) (step 1010). Figure 11 is a schematic and simplified diagram 1100 illustrating some example message flows in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, to perform a consecutive MT migration of an lAB-node toward a target IAB topology following a Radio Link Failure (RLF) recovery of the lAB-node. This figure shows an lAB-node 1101 that may be a mobile lAB-node like the lAB-node 870 of figure 8 and / or the lAB-node 123 of figure 1, composed of a Mobile Termination (MT) 1103 (identified as IAB-MT), and of a Distributed Unit (DU) 1102 (identified as IAB-DU). The figure also shows a source non-Fl terminating donor-CU (or non-Fl donor-CU) 1105 terminating the RRC connection to the lAB-node 1101 through the IAB-MT 1103, a Fl terminating donor-CU (or Fl donor-CU) 1104 terminating the Fl connection to the lAB-node 1101 through the IAB-DU 1102, and a target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 that becomes, during the described procedure, the new non-Fl terminating donor-CU for the lAB-node 1101. As an example and with reference to the IAB communication system of figure 8, the F1 terminating donor CU 1104 for the lAB-node is the donor-CU 801, the MT 871 of the IAB-node 870 has migrated to the IAB topology 8002 managed by donor-CU 802 and so the source non-Fl terminating donor CU 1105 is the donor-CU 802. As the lAB-node moves towards the IAB topology 8003, the IAB node 860 is identified as a target IAB node to which the mMT of IAB node 870 can be migrated and so the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 1106 is the donor-CU 803. At the beginning of the flow 1100, it is assumed that the control path (Fl-C) and user path (Fl-U) setup by the Fl donor-CU 1104 to reach the lAB-node 1101, uses one or several backhaul path(s) in the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1105 through a donor-DU not represented in the figure 11. For instance, with reference to figure 8, one such backhaul path may include the donor-DU 806 and the IAB nodes 840 and 850. The first part of the flowchart describes the procedure 1110 resulting in the migration of the IAB-MT 1103 after a RLF recovery to the IAB topology controlled by the target nonFl donor-CU 1106 (e.g. the IAB-MT 1103 is migrated to the IAB node 860 in IAB topology 8003). It includes the setup of the new path for RRC protocol messages. The IAB-MT 1103 of the lAB-node 1101 regularly performs measurement on signals received at the IAB-MT 1103 from the serving cell and one or more target cells, such as the Signal Synchronization Block (SSB) transmitted in the serving cell and in the target cells. The target cells may be neighbouring cells to the serving or source cell (i.e. the current serving cell). In the case where the lAB-node 1101 is connected via a backhaul link to the lAB-node 850, the serving or source cell is the cell served by the lAB-node 850. It may happen that the SSB signal in the serving cell meets predefined criteria (for instance a received power that is below a predefined threshold) during a sufficient time to declare a RLF for the link between the IAB node 1101 and its source parent lAB-node (for instance the link 8050 between the lAB-node 870 and the lAB-node 850 in the figure 8). Besides, the lAB-node 1101 may have detected a SSB signal that meets predefined criteria (for instance a received power that is above a predefined threshold) sufficient to attempt a new connection in the corresponding target cell. In that case, the mobile lAB-node 1101 triggers an inter-CU backhaul RLF recovery procedure as described in TS 38.401 V17.2.0 section 8.17.4. It consists in the lAB-node 1101 performing a random-access procedure to obtain uplink resources, and then to transmit a RRC Reestablishment Request message 1111 in the target cell. This RRC message, as specified in TS 38.331, is received by the target parent lAB-node (lAB-node 860 in the example of the figure 8), and the message is relayed to the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 (donor-CU 807 in the example of the figure 8), through the Fl message INITIAL UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER specified in TS 38.401 V 17.2.0 section 9.2.3.1. Upon reception of this RRC Reestablishment Request 1111 including information to identify the source non-Fl donor-CU 1105 of the lAB-node 1101 (e.g. the Physical Cell Identity of the cell where the lAB-node 1101 was connected to prior to the failure), the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 initiate the procedure 1112 to retrieve the UE context of the IAB-node 1101 from the source non-Fl donor-CU 1105 (donor-CU 806 in the example of the figure 8). In this procedure, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 sends to the source non-Fl donor-CU 1105 the Xn protocol message RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT REQUEST specified xt CM CM in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 9.1.1.8. The source non-Fl donor-CU 1105 responds with the Xn message RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT RESPONSE specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 9.1.1.9. After the decision to accept the reestablishment request from the lAB-node 1101, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 sends the RRC Reestablishment message 1113 to the IAB- 5 node 1101, embedded in a Fl message DL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER, specified in TS 38.473 V17.2.0 section 9.2.3.2, and sent to the target parent lAB-node of the lAB-node 1101 (e.g. lAB-node 860 in figure 8). Then, the IAB-MT 1103 of the lAB-node 1101 sends a RRC Reestablishment Complete message 1114 to the target non-F 1 donor-CU 1106 (via the target parent lAB-node and a Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER embedding the RRC 10 Reestablishment Complete information). After requesting to the target parent lAB-node, a UE context setup for the lAB-node 1101, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 sends the Xn message UE CONTEXT RELEASE 1115, specified in TS 38.423, to the source non-Fl donor-CU 1105, which is informed of the new non-Fl donor-CU for the lAB-node 1101. However, the identifiers of the lAB-node 15 1101 at the Fl donor-CU 1104 and at the source non-Fl donor-CU 1105 are retained by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1105 as Fl paths are still considered as functional by the Fl donor-CU 1104. Besides, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 sends a RRC configuration message 1117 to the IAB-MT 1103, embedded in the F1 message DL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER sent to -j— 20 the target parent lAB-node of the lAB-node 1101. In particular, the RRC Reconfiguration message 1117 contains the Transport Network Layer (TNL) address(es) (i.e. IP address! es)) identifying the target donor-DU for packets routing (e.g. data routing). In the example of figure 8, the address(es) of the donor-DU 807 replace(s) the address(es) of the donor-DU 806. In response, the IAB-MT 1103 of the lAB-node 1101 sends a RRC Reconfiguration 25 Complete message 1118 to the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 (via the target parent lAB-node and a Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER embedding the RRC Reconfiguration Complete information). To complete the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 1101, the control data path in the IAB topology of the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 is setup with the step 1120 30 corresponding to the step 920 of the figure 9, in which the lAB-node 1101 may inform the Fl donor-CU 1104 about the identifier of the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106 and the address(es) of the target donor-DU, or in which the source non-Fl donor-CU 905 may inform the Fl donor-CU 1104 about the identifier of the target non-Fl donor-CU 1106. Also, the user data path is setup with the step 1130 corresponding to the step 1030 of the figure 10. Figures 12a-12c are flowcharts showing example methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention that are performed at different network nodes in a wireless communication system (such as communication system shown and described with reference to figure 1 and IAB communication system shown and described with reference to figure 8). The example methods at the different network nodes are for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) in which a MT of an IAB node is migrated (e.g. is migrated consecutively) from a second IAB topology managed by a second IAB donor Central Unit, CU (e.g. a source IAB donor CU), to a third IAB topology managed by a third IAB donor CU (e.g. a target IAB donor CU), where the IAB node is managed (or controlled or served) by a first IAB donor CU (e.g. the F1 terminating donor CU of the IAB node with which the IAB node retains a Fl connection) of a first IAB topology. The second and third IAB donor CUs are non-Fl terminating donor CUs of the IAB node. The first IAB donor CU or Fl terminating donor CU receives address information (e.g. from the IAB node) including one or more addresses (such as IP address(es), TNL address(es)) associated with a target IAB donor DU of the third IAB topology via or through which data (e.g. Fl traffic, user traffic, control traffic) associated with the IAB node is to be routed in the third IAB topology (e.g. data that is to be routed to / from the IAB node in the third IAB topology through the target IAB donor DU). The first IAB donor CU or Fl terminating donor CU also receives, from the IAB node (e.g. as described below in more detail with reference to figure 12a) or the second IAB donor CU (e.g. the source non-Fl terminating donor CU as described below in more detail with reference to figure 12b), identification information (such as PCI or NCGI) for identifying the third IAB donor CU (e.g. the target non-Fl terminating donor CU). In an example, the first IAB donor CU or Fl terminating donor CU may also receive, from the IAB node or the second IAB donor CU (e.g. the source non-Fl terminating donor CU), identification information including at least one identifier of the IAB node. Such identifiers may include the identifiers known to the Fl terminating donor CU and the non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node: for example, the message may include one or more of the information elements FJ-TerminatinglAB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F 1-Terminating TAB-donor UE XnAP ID. Although the following methods / apparatus will be described primarily with respect to a mobile IAB node, it will be appreciated that it is not intended that the invention is limited to mobile IAB nodes. The methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention may apply to stationary IAB nodes e.g. that are at the edge of one IAB topology and in the proximity of one or more IAB nodes in a neighbouring IAB topology. 10 25 30 Thus, by means of the information (e.g. address information such as the address(es) of the target donor DU to which the IAB node is to be or has already migrated and / or identification information (such as PCI or NCGI) for identifying the third IAB donor CU) sent to the first IAB donor CU (Fl terminating donor CU) of the IAB node by the second IAB donor CU (non-Fl terminating donor CU) or by the IAB node, the Fl terminating donor CU can be informed of migration of the MT of an IAB node between two different topologies: e.g. from a second IAB topology managed by a second IAB donor Central Unit, CU (e.g. a source IAB donor CU), to a third IAB topology managed by a third IAB donor CU (e.g. a target IAB donor CU) and of at least one new routing path to be used to route data (e.g. user traffic and control traffic) for the migrated IAB node in the third IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. The Fl terminating donor CU may then update configuration information for the IAB node based on the received information so as to update routing paths (e.g. the Fl-C and Fl-U routing paths) associated with or for the lAB-node to the new routing paths for routing data to / from the IAB node via the target donor DU. Figure 12a is a flowchart showing an example method 1200, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at an IAB node (e.g. the mobile IAB node or mlAB node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) in which a MT of the IAB node is migrated (e.g. is migrated consecutively) from a second IAB topology to a third topology, which topologies are both different to a first IAB topology to which the IAB node belongs. Method 1200 is for managing, at an lAB-node, the consecutive MT migration toward a target IAB topology different from the IAB topologies controlled by its Fl terminating donor-CU and its source non-Fl terminating donor-CU. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 8, the IAB node performing the method 1200 may be the mobile lAB-node 870 belonging to IAB topology 8001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 801 (e.g. a Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 870 with which the mobile IAB node 870 retains a Fl connection). The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 871 of the mlAB node 870 from IAB donor DU 806 in the IAB topology 8002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 802 (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 870 with which the mobile IAB node 870 has a RRC connection and which is operating as a source non-Fl terminating donor CU) to IAB donor DU 807 in the IAB topology 8003 controlled by the IAB donor CU 803 (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 870 which is operating as a target non-Fl terminating donor CU). Such a migration involves switching routing paths for the mobile 10 25 30 IAB node 870 from a routing path including the parent IAB node 850, IAB node 840 and IAB donor DU 806 to a routing path including the parent IAB node 860, and IAB donor DU 807. The method 1200 as shown in and described with respect to figure 12a may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The IAB node may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 12a being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. At step 1201, an lAB-node, like the lAB-node 870, receives from a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 803, address information including one or more addresses associated with a target IAB donor DU, such as the donor-DU 807, of the third IAB topology 8003 via which data associated with the IAB node is to be routed in the third IAB topology. Thus, the IAB node 807 may receive the address(es) of a target donor-DU, like the donor-DU 807, in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU. For example, the lAB-node 870 may receive the address(es) of the target donor-DU in a message, such as RRC Reconfiguration message 913 or 1117 as described above. At step 1202, the lAB-node may send the identifier of the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU to its Fl terminating donor-CU, like donor-CU 801, controlling another IAB topology. For example, the lAB-node 870 may send identification information for identifying the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803. The identification information may include an identifier such as the PCI or NCGI for the target cell from which the Fl terminating donor CU 801 can identify the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803. At step 1203, the lAB-node sends the received address(es) of the target donor-DU to its Fl terminating donor-CU. For example, the lAB-node 870 may send address information including the one or more address(es) of the target donor-DU 807 in a message, such as DU message 922 as described above. The identification information identifying the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 may also be sent in the same message as the address information (e.g. message 922) or in a separate message. In an example, the lAB-node 570 may further send identification information including an identifier(s) of the mobile IAB node known by the two IAB donor-CUs (Fl terminating donor-CU 801 and source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802): for example, the message may include one or more of the information elements F1 -Terminating 1AB-donor UE XnAP ID and non-F 1-Terminating IAB-donor LIE XnAP ID. Figure 12b is a flowchart showing an example method 1210, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at a second IAB donor CU (e.g. the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) for a MT of an IAB node. Method 1210 is for managing, at the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node, the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node toward a target IAB topology different from the IAB topology controlled by the Fl terminating donor-CU of the lAB-node. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 8, the second IAB donor CU performing the method 1210 may be the IAB donor CU 802 (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node 870 with which the IAB node 870 has a RRC connection). The IAB node may be mobile lAB-node 870 belonging to IAB topology 8001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 801 (e.g. a Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 870 with which the mobile IAB node 870 retains a Fl connection). The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 871 of the mlAB node 870 from IAB donor DU 806 in the IAB topology 8002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 802, which is operating as the source non-Fl terminating donor CU, to IAB donor DU 807 in the IAB topology 8003 controlled by the IAB donor CU 803, which is operating as the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. The method 1210 as shown in and described with respect to figure 12b may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The non-Fl terminating IAB donor CU may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 12b being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. At step 1211, a source non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 802, of an lAB-node, like the lAB-node 870, detects the migration of the MT part of the lAB-node to a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 803. For example, the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 determines the MT 871 of the mobile IAB node 870 is to be migrated to a target IAB donor DU 807 of the IAB topology 8003 via which data associated with the IAB node is to be routed in the IAB topology 8003. This information may be obtained (e.g. the determination made) through the decision by the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 itself upon the reception of a measurement report from the lAB-node 870 (such as the measurement report 911 discussed above), or this information may be obtained by the reception of a UE context release message (such as messages 915, 1115 described above) related to the lAB-node 870 from a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 for the lAB-node. At step 1212, the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 sends to the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 of the lAB-node controlling another IAB topology 8001, the identifier of the 10 25 30 target non-F 1 terminating donor-CU 803 along with the identifiers of the lAB-node known by the two donor-CUs (Fl terminating donor-CU 801 and source non-F 1 terminating donor-CU 802). For example, the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 sends identification information for identifying the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803. The identification information may include an identifier such as the PCI or NCGI for the target cell from which the Fl terminating donor CU 801 can identify the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803. Figure 12c is a flowchart showing an example method 1220, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at a first donor CU (e.g. the Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) for a MT of an IAB node. Method 1220 is for managing, at the Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node, the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node toward a target IAB topology different from the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU of the lAB-node. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 8, the first IAB donor CU performing the method 1220 may be the IAB donor CU 801 (e.g a Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node 870 with which the IAB node 870 retains a Fl connection). The IAB node may be mobile lAB-node 870 belonging to IAB topology 8001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 801. The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 871 of the mlAB node 870 from IAB donor DU 806 in the IAB topology 8002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 802, which is operating as the source non-Fl terminating donor CU, to IAB donor DU 807 in the IAB topology 8003 controlled by the IAB donor CU 803, which is operating as the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. The method 1220 as shown in and described with respect to figure 12c may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The Fl terminating IAB donor CU may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 12c being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. At step 1221, a Fl terminating donor-CU, like the lAB-donor-CU 801, receives identification information for identifying the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803. The identification information may include an identifier such as the PCI or NCGI for the target cell to which the IAB node 870 has migrated and from which the Fl terminating donor CU 801 can identify the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803. For example, a Fl terminating donor-CU, like the lAB-donor-CU 801, receives, from the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 of an lAB-node with its MT part already migrated in the IAB topology 8002 controlled by the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802, the identifier of a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803, along with the identifiers of the lAB-node known by the two donor-CUs (Fl terminating donor-CU 801 and source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802). Alternatively, the identifier of the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU is received at the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 from the lAB-node 870. At step 1222, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 receives, from the lAB-node 870, address information including one or more addresses associated with the target IAB donor DU 807 of the IAB topology 8003 via which data associated with the lAB-node 870 is to be routed in the IAB topology 8003. For example, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 receives the address(es) of a target donor-DU 807 in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 for the lAB-node. At step 1223, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may update routing paths for the IAB-node 870 based on the received information so as to update routing paths (e.g. the Fl-C and Fl-U routing paths) for the lAB-node 870 to new routing paths for routing data to / from the IAB node via the target donor-DU 506. For example, the Fl terminating donor-CU updates the Fl paths (control and user data paths) to reach the lAB-node 870 through the target donor-DU 807 in the IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 of the lAB-node. 25 Figure 13 is a schematic and simplified diagram 1300 illustrating some example message flows according to one or more embodiments of the invention, to perform a consecutive MT migration of an lAB-node toward a target IAB topology, including the setup of the control and user data paths. This figure shows an lAB-node 1301 that may be a mobile lAB-node like the lAB-node 870 of figure 8 and / or the IAB node 123 of figure 1, composed of a Mobile Termination (MT) 1303 (identified as IAB-MT), and of a Distributed Unit (DU) 1302 (identified as IAB-DU). The figure also shows a source non-Fl terminating donor-CU (or non-Fl donor-CU) 1305 terminating the RRC connection to the lAB-node 1301 through the IAB-MT 1303, a Fl terminating donor-CU (or Fl donor-CU) 1304 terminating the Fl connection to the lAB-node 1301 through the IAB-DU 1302, and a target non-Fl donor-CU 1306 that becomes, during the described procedure, the new non-Fl terminating donor-CU for the lAB-node 1301. As an example and with reference to the IAB communication system of figure 8, the Fl terminating donor CU 1304 for the lAB-node is the donor-CU 801, the MT 871 of the IAB-node 870 has migrated to the IAB topology 8002 managed by donor-CU 802 and so the source non-Fl terminating donor CU 1305 is the donor-CU 802. As the lAB-node moves towards the IAB topology 8003, the IAB node 860 is identified as a target IAB node to which the mMT of IAB node 870 can be migrated and so the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 1306 is the donor-CU 803. 10 25 30 At the beginning of the flowchart 1300, it is assumed that the control path (Fl-C) and user path (Fl-U) setup by the Fl donor-CU 1304 to reach the lAB-node 1301, uses one or several backhaul path(s) in the IAB topology 8002 controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 through a donor-DU not represented in the figure 13. For instance, with reference to figure 8, one such backhaul path may include the donor-DU 806. The first part of the flowchart describes the procedure 1310 resulting in the migration of the IAB-MT 1303 to the IAB topology 8003 controlled by the target non-Fl donor-CU 1306. It includes the setup of the new path for RRC protocol messages (e.g. set up of a path to support Fl-C traffic to / from the target non-Fl donor-CU). Indeed, it is assumed that the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 receiving a measurement report 1311 from the lAB-node 1301, initiates a MT migration or consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 1301 to another IAB topology. The measurement report 1311 is received by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 through the Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER (specified in TS 38.423) sent by the source parent IAB node of the lAB-node 1301 (for instance parent lAB-node 850 in the figure 8), which embeds the RRC message with the measurement report sent by the IAB-MT 1303 to the DU part of the source parent lAB-node. The measurement report is the result of the measurements regularly performed by IAB-MT 1303 on signals received from the serving cell and one or more target cells, such as the Signal Synchronization Block (SSB) transmitted in the serving cell and in the target cells. The target cells may be neighbouring cells to the serving or source cell (i.e. the current serving cell). Once the IAB-MT 1303 discovers at least one SSB that meets predefined criteria (for instance a received power that exceeds a predefined threshold), a measurement report may be generated and transmitted to provide radio link quality information for different cells in the vicinity of the lAB-node 901. The identity of each target cell is included in the measurement report to allow the non-Fl donor-CU 1305 to identify the target CU associated with each target cell. Based on the received measurement report, the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 may detect that the lAB-node 1301 receives radio signals in a target cell controlled by a target parent lAB-node with a better quality than in the source serving cell. Taking the example of a target parent lAB-node (for instance lAB-node 860 in the figure 8) belonging to a different IAB topology as the source parent lAB-node (for instance lAB-node 850 in the figure 8), the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 may decide to apply a handover preparation procedure for the lAB-node 1301. The IAB-MT 1303 migration is triggered by the message Handover Request 1312 sent by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 to the Fl donor-CU 1304 of the lAB-node 1301. This 5 message 1312 may be the HANDOVER REQUEST message specified in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 9.1.1.1, but with a new information element indicating that the handover is to be performed by the Fl donor-CU 1304 toward a target non-Fl donor-CU 1306. Thus, this message includes the identifiers of the lAB-node 1301 known by the two donor-CUs (source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 and Fl donor-CU 1304), and the identifier of the target non-Fl 10 donor-CU 1306 in addition to the other information elements present in the message as specified in TS 38.423. Upon the reception of the message 1312, the Fl donor-CU 1304 triggers the legacy handover preparation procedure 1313 described in TS 38.423 V17.2.0 section 8.2.1, where the Fl donor-CU 904 sends a HANDOVER REQUEST message to the target non-Fl donor-15 CU 1306 including the necessary information related to the IAB-MT 1303 so that hand over can be performed. For instance, the message includes the identification of the target cell where the lAB-node 1301 will switch to, and thus it identifies the target parent lAB-node (e.g. IAB node 860) that controls the target cell. After requesting to the target parent IAB-node a UE context setup for the lAB-node 1301, the target non-Fl donor-CU 1306 performs 20 admission control and provides the new RRC configuration information to the Fl donor-CU 1304 with the HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message. Then the Fl donor-CU 1304 forwards this response to the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 through the message Handover Response 1314, which may be a copy of the received Fl message HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE. The individual steps of the handover procedure are not 25 shown in figure 13 which for simplicity shows box 1313 representing the IAB-MT handover. Then, the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 can relay the RRC configuration information to the IAB-MT 1303 through the RRC Reconfiguration message 1315. Actually, the message 1315 is first embedded in the Fl message UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST, specified in TS 38.473, and sent by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 to the source parent 30 lAB-node (e.g. IAB node 850) of the lAB-node 1301. Then this source parent IAB sends the RRC Reconfiguration message 1315 to the IAB-MT 1303. In particular, the RRC Reconfiguration message 1313 contains the Transport Network Layer (TNL) address(es) (i.e. IP address(es)) identifying the target donor-DU for packets routing (e.g. data routing). In the example of the figure 8, the address(es) of the donor-DU 807 replace(s) the address(es) of the donor-DU 806. After the lAB-node 1301 performs a random-access procedure toward the target parent IAB node (e.g. lAB-node 860 in figure 8), the lAB-node 1301 sends a RRC Reconfiguration 5 Complete message 1316 to the target non-Fl donor-CU 1306 (via the target parent lAB-node and a Fl message UL RRC MESSAGE TRANSFER embedding the RRC Reconfiguration Complete information). The procedure 1310 ends with the Xn message UE CONTEXT RELEASE 1315, specified in TS 38.423, sent by the target non-Fl donor-CU 1306 to the Fl donor-CU 1304. 10 This message may be forwarded by the Fl donor-CU 1304 to the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305. However, the identifiers of the lAB-node 1301 at the Fl donor-CU 1304 and at the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 are retained by these two donor-CUs as Fl paths for the IAB-node 1301 may still be used through the IAB topology controlled by the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305. 25 To complete the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node 1301, the control data path in the IAB topology of the target non-Fl donor-CU 1306 is setup with the step 1320 corresponding to the step 920 of the figure 9, in which the lAB-node 1301 may inform the Fl donor-CU 1304 about the address(es) of the target donor-DU. Also, the user data path is setup with the step 1330 corresponding to the step 1030 of the figure 10. In case a DU migration of the lAB-node 1301 is on-going while receiving the handover request message 1312, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may wait for the completion of the DU migration before launching or initiating the MT handover step 1313. Alternatively, the Fl donor-CU may reject the handover request and directly respond to the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305 with the handover response message 1314 indicating the rejection (e.g. the handover response is negative indicating migration or handover of the MT has been rejected). For example, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may determine whether a migration process for a DU (e.g. IAB-DU 1102) of the lAB-node 1301 has been initiated (e.g. and is on-going) and in response to determining the migration process for the DU of the IAB node has been initiated, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may delay migrating the MT of the IAB node to the third IAB donor CU until completion of the migration process for the DU of the IAB node. Alternatively, in response to determining a migration process for the DU of the IAB node has been initiated, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may send, to the second IAB donor CU, a handover response rejecting the handover request. During the execution of the procedure of the figure 13 and until the completion of steps 1320 and 1330, the Fl donor-CU may refrain from launching a DU migration of the lAB-node 1301. For example, the Fl donor-CU may delay initiating a migration process for the DU of the IAB nodes until completion of the migration process for the MT of the IAB node, such as until completion of the setting up of the one or more routing paths (e.g. for Fl traffic). Each of these steps help to avoid the concurrence of MT and DU 5 migration procedures that may lead to the failure of at least one the migrations. As an alternative example, when the Fl donor-CU 1304 receives the Handover Request message 1312 from the source non-Fl donor-CU 1305, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may acknowledge this request by sending the Handover Response message 1314 to the non-Fl donor-CU 1305. Upon reception of this message 1314 the non-Fl donor-CU 1305 executes 10 MT migration (with the target non-Fl donor CU 1306) as described above with respect to step 912 of figure 9. Before sending the Handover Response message 1314 to the non-Fl 25 30 donor-CU 1305, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may check whether a DU migration is on-going for the co-located IAB-DU 1302 of the IAB-MT 1303 of the IAB node 1301. If a DU migration is on-going, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may wait for the completion of this DU migration before sending the Handover Response message 1314 with a positive response. In other words, the Fl donor-CU 1304 sends a handover response in the Handover Response message 1314 as a positive response on completion of an on-going DU migration in order to trigger the non-Fl donor-CU 1305 to execute an MT migration. Alternatively, when the Fl donor-CU 1304 determines a DU migration is on-going, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may send a handover response in the Handover Response message 1314 which is a negative response (e.g. indicating the Fl donor-CU 1304 has rejected the handover request). Figures 14a-14b are flowcharts showing example methods in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention that are performed at different network nodes in a wireless communication system (such as communication system shown and described with reference to figure 1 and IAB communication system shown and described with reference to figure 8). The example methods at the different network nodes are for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) in which a MT of an IAB node is migrated (e.g. is migrated consecutively) from a second IAB topology managed by a second IAB donor Central Unit, CU (e.g. a source IAB donor CU), to a third IAB topology managed by a third IAB donor CU (e.g. a target IAB donor CU), where the IAB node is managed (or controlled or served) by a first IAB donor CU (e.g. the F1 terminating donor CU of the IAB node with which the IAB node retains a Fl connection) of a first IAB topology. The second and third IAB donor CUs are non-Fl terminating donor CUs of the IAB node. After the source IAB donor CU determines the MT of the IAB node is to be migrated from the second 10 25 30 IAB topology to the third IAB topology, the first IAB donor CU or Fl terminating donor CU receives a handover request from the source IAB donor CU. The handover request (e.g. message 1312 described above) includes IAB node identification information for identifying the IAB node having a MT to be migrated and identification information, such as the PCI or NCGI of the target cell to which the MT is to be migrated, for identifying the target IAB donor CU managing the third IAB topology to which the MT of the IAB node is to be migrated. The Fl terminating donor CU may then initiate a procedure to migrate the MT of the IAB node to the target IAB donor CU (e.g. such as the procedure 1313 discussed above which involves the Fl terminating donor CU co-operating with the target IAB donor CU and source IAB donor CU). Alternatively, the source non-Fl terminating donor CU may initiate a procedure to migrate the MT of the IAB node to the target IAB donor CU. After migration is complete (e.g. handover has been accepted by the target IAB donor CU), the Fl terminating donor CU sends a handover response to the source IAB donor CU which may include configuration information associated with one or more routing paths for routing data associated with the IAB node in the third IAB topology. The configuration information includes one or more addresses (such as IP address(es), TNL address(es)) associated with a target IAB donor DU of the third IAB topology via / through which data (e.g. Fl traffic, user traffic, control traffic) is to be routed for the IAB node in the third IAB topology (e.g. data is to be routed to / from the IAB node in the third IAB topology through the target IAB donor DU). The configuration information received at the Fl terminating donor CU may be provided to the IAB node (e.g. via the source IAB donor CU). Thus, by means of the handover request and the configuration information received at the first IAB donor CU (Fl terminating donor CU) of the IAB node, the Fl terminating donor CU can be informed of migration of the MT of the IAB node between two different topologies: e.g. from a second IAB topology managed by a second IAB donor Central Unit, CU (e.g. a source IAB donor CU), to a third IAB topology managed by a third IAB donor CU (e.g. a target IAB donor CU) and of at least one new routing path to be used to route data (e.g. user traffic and control traffic) associated with or for the migrated IAB node in the third IAB topology controlled by the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. Figure 14a is a flowchart showing an example method 1400, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at a second IAB donor CU (e.g. the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) for a MT of an IAB node. Method 1400 is for managing, at the source non-F 1 terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node, the consecutive MT migration of the 25 lAB-node toward a target IAB topology different from the IAB topology controlled by the Fl terminating donor-CU of the lAB-node. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 8, the second IAB donor CU performing the method 1400 may be the IAB donor CU 802 (e.g. a non-Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node 870 with which the IAB node 870 has a RRC connection). The IAB node may be mobile lAB-node 870 belonging to IAB topology 8001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 801 (e.g. a Fl terminating donor CU of the mobile IAB node 870 with which the mobile IAB node 870 retains a Fl connection). The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 871 of the mlAB node 870 from IAB donor DU 806 in the IAB topology 8002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 802, which is operating as the source non-Fl terminating donor CU, to IAB donor DU 807 in the IAB topology 8003 controlled by the IAB donor CU 803, which is operating as the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. The method 1400 as shown in and described with respect to figure 14ab may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The non-Fl terminating IAB donor CU may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 14a being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. At step 1401, a source non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 802, of an lAB-node, like the lAB-node 870, detects the migration of the MT part of the lAB-node to a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 803. For example, the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 determines the MT 871 of the IAB node 870 is to be migrated from the second IAB topology 8002 to the third IAB topology 8003. This information may be obtained (e.g. the determination made) through the decision by the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU itself upon the reception of a measurement report from the lAB-node. For example, the measurement report indicates that the MT 871 of the IAB node 870 should be migrated to, for example, a cell of the third IAB topology, based on measurements made on signals received at the IAB node 870. At step 1402, the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 sends to the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 of the lAB-node 870 controlling another IAB topology 8001, a handover request for the lAB-node toward a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803. The handover request includes identification information, such as PCI or NCGI for the target cell in the third IAB topology to which the MT is to be migrated, for identifying the target IAB donor CU 803 managing the third IAB topology 8003 to which the MT of the IAB node 870 is to be migrated. The handover request may also include identification information for identifying 25 the IAB node 870 having the MT to be migrated. For example, the request includes the identifier of the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 along with the identifiers of the lAB-node known by the two donor-CUs (Fl terminating donor-CU and source non-Fl terminating donor-CU). The request may be the Handover request 1312 discussed above. At step 1403, the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 may receive, from the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 of the lAB-node, a handover response. The handover response may indicate handover has been accepted (positive handover response) when handover has been accepted by the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 803 and may indicate handover has been rejected (negative handover response) when handover has been rejected by the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. When handover has been accepted, the handover response may include configuration information associated with one or more routing paths for routing data associated with the mobile IAB node in the third IAB topology 8003. The configuration information may include one or more addresses associated with a target IAB donor DU 807 of the third IAB topology via or through which data associated with the IAB node 870 is to be routed in the third IAB topology. The configuration information embedded in the handover response is forwarded to the lAB-node 870. The response may be the Handover Response 1314 discussed above. In an alternative example, when the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 receives the Handover Request message 1312 from the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may acknowledge this request by sending a handover response (e.g. the Handover Response message 1314) to the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802. Upon reception of this handover response at step 1403 the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 executes MT migration (with the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 803) as described above with respect to step 912 of figure 9. Before sending the handover response (e.g. Handover Response message 1314) to the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may check whether a DU migration is on-going for the co-located IAB-DU 872 of the IAB-MT 871 of the IAB node 870. If there is an on-going DU migration, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may wait for the completion of this DU migration before sending the handover response in Handover Response message 1314 with a positive response. In other words, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 sends a handover response as a positive response on completion of an on-going DU migration in order to trigger the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 to execute an MT migration. Alternatively, when the Fl donor-CU 1304 determines a DU migration is on-going, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may send a handover response in the Handover Response message 1314 which is a negative response (e.g. indicating the Fl donor-CU 1304 has rejected the handover request).. Figure 14b is a flowchart showing an example method 1410, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention, performed at a first donor CU (e.g. the Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node) for use in a migration process (or for use in part of a migration process) for a MT of an IAB node. Method 1410 is for managing, at the Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node, the consecutive MT migration of the lAB-node toward a target IAB topology different from the IAB topology controlled by the source non Fl terminating donor-CU of the lAB-node. For example, with reference to the IAB communication system shown in and described with respect to figure 8, the first IAB donor CU performing the method 1410 may be the IAB donor CU 801 (e.g a Fl terminating donor CU of the IAB node 870 with which the IAB node 870 retains a Fl connection). The IAB node may be mobile lAB-node 870 belonging to IAB topology 8001 controlled by the IAB donor CU 801. The migration process may involve the migration of the MT 871 of the mlAB node 870 from IAB donor DU 806 in the IAB topology 8002 controlled by the IAB donor CU 802, which is operating as the source non-Fl terminating donor CU, to IAB donor DU 807 in the IAB topology 8003 controlled by the IAB donor CU 803, which is operating as the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. The method 1410 as shown in and described with respect to figure 14b may be performed by software elements and / or hardware elements. The Fl terminating IAB donor CU may be implemented in a communication device 400 as shown in and described with reference to figure 4 with the method as shown in and described with respect to figure 14b being performed by one or more processing units, such as the central processing unit 411. At step 1411, a Fl terminating donor-CU, like the lAB-donor-CU 801, receives a handover request for requesting migration of a MT of the IAB to the third IAB topology. The handover request includes IAB node identification information for identifying the IAB node 870 having a MT to be migrated and identification information for identifying the target IAB donor CU 803 managing the third IAB topology 8003 to which the MT of the IAB node 870 is to be migrated. For example, a Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 801, receives, from a source non-Fl terminating donor-CU like the donor-CU 802, of an lAB-node like the lAB-node 870, a handover request for the lAB-node toward a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU, like the donor-CU 803. The request includes the identifier of the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 along with the identifiers of the lAB-node known by the two donor-CUs (Fl terminating donor-CU 801 and source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802). The request may be the Handover request 1312 discussed above. At step 1412, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may execute the MT migration of the lAB-node 870 toward the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 using a handover procedure (e.g. in response to receiving the handover request from the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU like the donor-CU 802). For example, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may initiate and execute the MT migration of the lAB-node 870 using the handover procedure 1313 discussed above. Migrating the MT of the lAB-node 870 to the target IAB donor CU 803 may include sending, by the source Fl donor-CU 801 to the target IAB donor CU 803, a request to migrate the MT of the lAB-node 870 to a target cell of the third IAB topology (e.g. a target cell of an lAB-node in the third IAB topology which has been determined, through measurements of radio signals received at the lAB-node, to provide better quality radio signals than in the source serving cell). In response, the source Fl donor-CU 801 receives, from the third IAB donor CU 803, a response including configuration information associated with one or more routing paths for routing data associated with the IAB node in the third IAB topology. At step 1413, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 sends a handover response to the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802. The handover response may indicate handover has been accepted (positive handover response) when handover has been accepted by the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 803 and may indicate handover has been rejected (negative handover response) when handover has been rejected by the target non-Fl terminating donor CU. When handover has been accepted, the handover response may include configuration information for the lAB-node 870 as received from the target non-Fl terminating donor-CU 803 at step 1412. For example, the configuration information is associated with one or more routing paths for routing data associated with the mobile IAB node 870 in the third IAB topology 8003 based on the configuration information received from the target IAB donor CU 803 and may include one or more addresses associated with a target IAB donor DU (such as IAB donor DU 807) of the third IAB topology via which data is to be routed for the mobile IAB node 870 in the third IAB topology. The response may be the Handover Response 1314 discussed above. Although not shown in figure 14b, the source Fl donor-CU 801 may determine whether a migration process for a DU (e.g. IAB-DU 872) of the lAB-node 870 has been initiated (e.g. and is on-going) and in response to determining the migration process for the DU of the IAB node has been initiated, the source Fl donor-CU 801 may delay migrating the MT of the IAB node to the target IAB donor CU 803 until completion of the migration process for the DU of the IAB node. Alternatively, in response to determining a migration process for the DU of the IAB node has been initiated, the source Fl donor-CU 801 may send, to the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802, a handover response rejecting the handover request. In an another example, the source Fl donor-CU 801 may delay initiating a migration process for the DU of the IAB node 870 until completion of the migration process for the MT of the IAB node, such as until completion of the setting up of the one or more routing paths (e.g. for Fl traffic). Step 1412 is shown in dotted lines in figure 14b since the handover response sent by the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 in step 1413 may be sent without initiating migration of the MT. For example, when the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 receives, at step 1410, the handover request (e.g. in a Handover Request message 1312) from the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may acknowledge this request by sending a handover response (e.g. the Handover Response message 1314) to the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802, at step 1413. As discussed above, upon reception of this handover response, the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 executes MT migration (with the target non-Fl terminating donor CU 803) as described with respect to step 912 of figure 9. Before sending the handover response (e.g. Handover Response message 1314) to the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may check whether a DU migration is on-going for the co-located IAB-DU 872 of the IAB-MT 871 of the IAB node 870. If there is an on-going DU migration, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 may wait for the completion of this DU migration before sending the handover response in Handover Response message 1314 with a positive response. In other words, the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 sends a handover response as a positive response on completion of an on-going DU migration in order to trigger the non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 to execute an MT migration. Alternatively, when the Fl donor-CU 1304 determines a DU migration is ongoing, the Fl donor-CU 1304 may send a handover response, at step 1413, in the Handover Response message 1314 which is a negative response (e.g. indicating the Fl donor-CU 1304 has rejected the handover request). Thus, migration of the MT may be executed by the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 in response to receiving the handover request from the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 (at step 1411) or as discussed above, migration of the MT may be initiated by the Fl terminating donor-CU 801 in response to receiving the handover request from the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802 (at step 1411) but executed by the source non-Fl terminating donor-CU 802. In other words and as a summary, it can be noted that executing a mobile IAB-MT (mlAB-MT) migration at the same time as the co-located mobile IAB-DU (mlAB-DU) migration may lead to failure of at least one of the procedures or it may drastically increase the complexity of signalling. As a safe approach, mlAB-MT migration should be executed and completed while the co-located mlAB-DU stays connected to the same donor-CU, and ml AB-DU migration should be executed and completed while the co-located mlAB-MT stays connected to the same donor-CU. To avoid concurrent migrations of mlAB-MT and mlAB-DU, a single donor-CU should control the sequence of mlAB-MT and mlAB-DU migrations for a mobile lAB-node. As, on one hand, the donor-CU serving the mlAB-DU decides whether to execute the mlAB-DU migration, and, on the other hand, the donor CU serving the mlAB-DU is informed about the mlAB-MT handover, the donor-CU serving the mlAB-DU appears as the appropriate donor-CU to control the sequence. Moreover, the donor-CU serving the mlAB-DU may know when a mlAB-MT migration is completed as it can directly exchange Xn IAB Transport Migration messages with the target donor CU. Consequently, one can observe that the Fl terminating donor-CU of an lAB-node is the appropriate donor-CU to control the sequence of IAB-MT and IAB-DU migrations for the mobile lAB-node. Thus, when the non-Fl terminating donor-CU of a mobile lAB-node detects the need to execute a mlAB-MT migration to connect the mlAB-MT to a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU, the non-Fl terminating donor-CU should let the Fl terminating donor-CU trigger the mlAB-MT migration at the appropriate time. It is then proposed that the non-Fl terminating donor-CU of a mobile lAB-node should let the Fl terminating donor trigger the inter-donor migration of the mlAB-MT at the appropriate time. As a possible way to control the sequence, the non-F 1 terminating donor-CU detecting the need for a mlAB-MT migration to connect the mlAB-MT to a target non-Fl terminating donor-CU, may first inform the Fl terminating donor-CU. Then, the Fl terminating donor-CU will trigger the inter-donor mlAB-MT migration at the appropriate time, and will respond to the non-F 1 terminating donor-CU.
