1. A method for wireless communications by a child node of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, comprising:
determining synchronization signal block (SSB) resources used for periodic SSB transmissions by a parent node of the IAB network;
receiving an indication of a measurement gap for performing SSB-based interference measurements from at least one of the parent node or central unit (CU) of the IAB network, wherein the measurement gap corresponds to a time window during which a mobile terminal (MT) function of the child node is not scheduled by a distributed unit (DU) of the parent node;
using the determined SSB resources and the measurement gap to perform the SSB-based interference measurements; and
communicating, using a backhaul link, with at least one of the parent node of the IAB network or the CU of the IAB network based on the SSB-based interference measurements.
