1. A wireless communication device, comprising a memory and a baseband processor configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the wireless communication device to, in response to being configured by a first radio resource control (RRC) signal to communicate a message in a set of symbols,
decode a second RRC signal, different from the first RRC signal, the second RRC signal including an information element (IE) having an indication of a subset of symbols from the set of symbols that are a semi-statically configured soft resource, wherein the IE includes a start and length indicator (SLIV) for a slot within a downlink (DL) or an uplink (UL) resource configuration for the wireless communication device, the SLIV to indicate symbols labelled as semi-statically configured soft resources within the DL or UL resource configuration, wherein the second RRC signal is received from a new radio (NR) integrated access and backhaul (IAB) donor central unit (CU);
determine the semi-statically configured soft resource based on the IE; and
cancel, based on the semi-statically configured soft resource, communication of the message by the wireless communication device.
