The embodiment of the invention relates to equipment, a method, a device and a computer readable storage medium for enhancement of an IAB network. The method includes receiving, at a first network device, a first message from a first central device for controlling the first network device, the first message including configuration information about at least one of a duplicate and a deduplicate grouped at a backhaul adaptation protocol (BAP) layer; and communicating packets with the second group of network devices and the first central device in the integrated access and backhaul IAB network based on the configuration information. By repeating uplink and downlink data associated with a terminal device in an IAB network at a BAP level, reliability and resilience of a backhaul link can be improved. 本公开的示例实施例涉及用于IAB网络的增强的设备、方法、装置和计算机可读存储介质。该方法包括：在第一网络设备处，从用于控制第一网络设备的第一中央设备接收第一消息，第一消息包括关于针对回程适配协议BAP层处分组的重复和去重复中的至少一者的配置信息；以及基于配置信息，在集成接入和回程IAB网络中与第二网络设备组和第一中央设备传递分组。通过在BAP级重复与IAB网络中的终端设备相关联的上行链路和下行链路数据，可以提高回程链路的可靠性和弹
