1. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
transmit, from a first wireless node of an integrated access and backhaul network, a request for a routing address of a second wireless node;
receive, at the first wireless node of the integrated access and backhaul network, an indication of the routing address of the second wireless node of the integrated access and backhaul network that is associated with a discovery signal transmitted by the second wireless node, wherein the indication of the routing address of the second wireless node that is associated with the discovery signal is transmitted based on the request; and
transmit a first message to the second wireless node using the routing address of the second wireless node, wherein the first message is transmitted via at least a third wireless node of the integrated access and backhaul network and provides information related to coordination of wireless communications of the first wireless node and the second wireless node.
