Description

1 / 32 TRANSMISSION OF CHANNEL STATUS INFORMATION IN FULL DUPLEX SUBBAND ​​(SBFD) REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present disclosure forms part of a non-provisional patent application claiming the benefit of priority under U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 495,122, filed April 10, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to mobile communications and, more particularly, to techniques for transmitting channel state information (CSI). FUNDAMENTALS

[0003] Unless otherwise indicated in this document, techniques described in this section do not constitute prior art for the claims listed below and are not admitted as prior art by inclusion in this section. UEs can utilize Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources to measure Channel State Information (CSI) when receiving downlink transmissions from a network node (e.g., a gNodeB (gNB)). In turn, UEs can communicate this CSI to the network node in uplink transmissions. In 3GPP Version 19, SBFD UEs are full duplex, meaning that these UEs are capable of transmitting and receiving data simultaneously on resources that overlap in time. Prior to 3GPP Version 19, UEs were half duplex, meaning that while gNodeBs are capable of transmitting and receiving data simultaneously at any given time, UEs are only capable of transmitting or receiving data at any given time.Thus, SBFD UEs under 3GPP Version 19 are capable of providing higher maximum user throughput with bidirectional data and lower latency. However, this is because SBFD uses slots of different types. Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 15 / 66 2 / 32 for data transmissions, there may be a need for new solutions to perform CSI measurements and transmission in SBFD. SUMMARY

[0004] The following summary is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. That is, the following summary is provided to introduce concepts, highlights, benefits, and advantages of the novel and non-obvious techniques described in this document. Selected implementations are described in more detail below in the detailed description. Thus, the following summary is not intended to identify essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to determine the scope of the claimed subject matter.

[0005] One objective of this disclosure is to propose solutions or schemes that address the issue(s) described in this document. More specifically, it is believed that several schemes proposed in this disclosure provide solutions that resolve various problems associated with CSI transmission over SBFD UEs under current 3GPP specifications.

[0006] In one aspect, a method may include configuring, by a processor, an activation command to instruct a UE to select multiple semi-persistent CSI transmission configurations or settings for use by the UE on an uplink control physical channel (PUCCH) for CSI transmission. The method may further include sending, by the processor, the activation command to the UE to configure the UE to generate one or more CSI reports using one or more CSI-RS resources on the PUCCH based on the multiple semi-persistent transmission configurations or settings.

[0007] In another aspect, a device may include a transceiver and a processor coupled to the transceiver. The transceiver may be configured to communicate wirelessly. The processor may determine whether a CSIRS feature configuration is used to generate a CSI measurement based on one or Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, p. 16 / 66 3 / 32 more CSI-RS resources in a slot includes one or more parts of the slot that lie outside one or more downlink sub-bands of the slot. Subsequently, the processor may be configured, in response to the determination that the CSI-RS resource configuration includes one or more parts that lie outside one or more downlink sub-bands of the slot, to designate such one or more parts of the slot as an invalid allocation that is excluded from the CSI-RS resource configuration for CSI measurement generation.

[0008] In yet another aspect, a method may involve configuring, by a processor, a UE to generate separate channel or interference measurement values ​​for individual slots of each slot type of multiple slot types based on periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS features in the slots for transmission, wherein the configuration is performed when a time constraint parameter for measurements is set to not configured. The method may further involve receiving, by the processor, separate CSI reports from the UE of the separate channel or interference measurement values.

[0021] Detailed embodiments and implementations of the claimed subjects are disclosed in this document. However, it should be understood that the embodiments and implementations disclosed are merely illustrative of the claimed subjects, which may be embodied in various forms. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be interpreted as limited to the exemplary embodiments and implementations presented in this document. Instead, these exemplary embodiments and implementations are provided so that the description of this disclosure is complete and exhaustive and fully conveys the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. In the description below, details of well-known features and techniques may be omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the embodiments and implementations presented. Overview

[0022] The implementations according to the present disclosure relate to various techniques, methods, schemes and / or solutions relating to CSI transmission in SBFD. According to the present disclosure, several possible solutions can be implemented separately or in combination. That is, although these possible solutions may be described separately below, two or more of these possible solutions may be implemented in one combination or another.

[0023] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary network environment 100 in which various solutions and schemes according to the present Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, p. 19 / 66 6 / 32 disclosure can be implemented. FIGS. 2 to 10 illustrate examples of implementation of various proposed schemes in the 100 network environment according to the present disclosure. The following description of various proposed schemes is provided with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, the network environment 100 may include a UE 110 in wireless communication with a RAN 120 (e.g., a 5G NR mobile network, a B5G mobile network, or another type of network such as an NTN). The UE 110 may be in wireless communication with the RAN 120 via a network node 125 (e.g., an eNodeB, gNodeB, or transmit-receive point (TRP)) and / or a non-terrestrial network node 128 (e.g., a satellite). That is, UE 110 can be within the coverage of a 135 cell associated with terrestrial network node 125 or non-terrestrial network node 128. RAN 120 can be part of a 130 network. In a 100 network environment, UE 110 and network 130 (through network node 125 of RAN 120) can implement various schemes that solve several problems associated with CSI transmission in SBFD under current 3GPP specifications.

[0025] CSI transmission by a UE, such as the UE 110, can be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic, depending on the nature of the underlying channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) features. In CSI transmission, a UE can perform a CSI measurement based on one or more CSI-RS features that are provided by a network node to the UE. Subsequently, the UE can transmit the CSI measurement to the network node. For example, a CSI measurement can be a channel measurement, an interference measurement, etc. When CSI transmission is based on aperiodic CSI-RS features, each CSI measurement and transmission can be performed to an SBFD slot or a non-SBFD slot at any time. Slots are subunits of data transmission frames that are used for uplink and downlink data transmissions between a UE. Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, p. 20 / 66 7 / 32 and a network node. An SBFD slot, also known as a partitioned slot, is a slot that is partitioned to include both uplink and downlink sub-bands. In contrast, a non-SBFD slot, also referred to as a non-partitioned slot, is a slot that is not partitioned to include both uplink and downlink sub-bands. For example, a non-SBFD slot might be a slot that includes one or more downlink sub-bands but not one or more uplink sub-bands, or a slot that includes one or more uplink sub-bands but not one or more downlink sub-bands.

[0026] When CSI transmission is based on periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS resources, CSI measurement and transmission are performed for multiple slots that include a mixture of SBFD and non-SBFD slots. As shown in FIG. 2, a CSI measurement performed by a UE for a downlink transmission in an SBFD slot 202 may be affected by interference resulting from an uplink transmission performed by another UE in the same SBFD slot. Conversely, a CSI measurement performed by a UE for a downlink transmission in a non-SBFD slot 204 will not be affected by any uplink transmission interference to another UE, since the non-SBFD slot 204 is used only for downlink transmission. Thus, any interference that occurs in an SBFD slot may be completely different from the interference that occurs in a non-SBFD slot.As a result, when a CSI measurement (e.g., an interference measurement) is performed on multiple slots that include a mixture of SBFD and non-SBFD slots, the CSI measurement may include measured interference that is too high for a non-SBFD slot and too low for an SBFD slot, thus creating an inaccurate CSI measurement. Therefore, in the case of periodic or semi-persistent CI-RS features, there is a need for... Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 21 / 66 8 / 32 CSI transmission specific to each slot, in which the transmitted CSI measurements are not performed in a mixture of SBFD and non-SBFD slots.

[0027] In some cases, it is possible to perform slot-specific CSI transmission for periodic CSI-RS features in accordance with current 3GPP specifications. For example, in current 3GPP specifications, a UE can be configured with a parameter (e.g., timeRestrictionForInterference Measurements) of a network node when the UE is configured to perform interference measurements based on slot-based CSI-RS features. Each of the individual slots can be an SBFD slot or a non-SBFD slot. For example, when this parameter is set to configured, the UE is restricted to performing each of its interference measurements for only a single slot, rather than multiple slots. Thus, regardless of whether the single slot is an SBFD slot or a non-SBFD slot, the interference measurement is accurate for that slot.Similarly, an UE can similarly receive an additional parameter (e.g., timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurements) from the network node when the UE is configured to perform channel measurements based on CSI-RS capabilities in slots where the additional parameter is set to configured. In this case, the UE is restricted to performing each of its channel measurements for only a single slot, rather than multiple slots. Thus, when a UE is configured with such parameters, each CSI measurement (e.g., an interference measurement or a channel measurement) is always performed by the UE for a single slot, regardless of whether the CSI-RS received from the network node is periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. In other words, when the parameter or additional parameter is set to configured, slot-specific CSI transmission is possible under the current 3GPP specifications. Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 22 / 66 9 / 32

[0028] However, when the parameter or additional parameter is set to “not configured”, the UE is restricted to performing interference or channel measurements on multiple resources up to and including a specific reference resource. These multiple resources, i.e., multiple slots, may include both SBFD slots and non-SBFD slots. For example, multiple reference resources may include a specific reference resource, e.g., a specific slot, and a predetermined number of resources, e.g., slots, that precede the reference resource. This means that when the parameter or additional parameter is set to “not configured”, slot-specific CSI transmission is not possible.

[0029] In other cases, according to the current 3GPP specification, each slot type can be configured with specific CSIRS resources, according to the current 3GPP specifications, to enable slot-specific CSI transmission to periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS resources on the shared uplink physical channel (PUSCH). For example, multiple transmission configurations (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig configurations) can be configured, where each transmission configuration is linked to a CSI-RS resource configured in a specific slot type. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, non-SBFD 302 slots can be configured with CSI-RS resources #0 and #1, while SBFD 304 slots can be configured with CSI-RS resources #2 and #3. In this way, one CSI measurement and transmission can be performed for the non-SBFD 302 slots, and another CSI measurement and transmission can be performed for the SBFD 304 slots.

[0030] However, a problem may arise with this configuration for semi-persistent transmission on the uplink control physical channel (PUCCH) due to an activation restriction on semi-persistent transmission on the PUCCH, as Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 23 / 66 10 / 32 specified in 3GPP Technical Specification (TS) 38.214, Section 5.2.1.5.2. Under this activation restriction, although multiple CSI-RS resources can be configured for a specific slot, only a single CSI-RS resource configured for a slot can be activated at any given time for CSI transmission; that is, the activation command is only capable of selecting one semi-persistent transmission configuration for use by the UE at a time in the PUCCH. This activation restriction makes it impractical to share multiple CSI-RS resources between the two different types of slots for semi-persistent transmission purposes, thus making slot-specific CSI transmission for semi-persistent CSI-RS resources in the PUCCH unfeasible.

[0031] Thus, there are several problems with implementing CSI transmission by SBFD UEs under the current 3GPP specifications. The first problem is that, although multiple CSI transmission configurations are configurable for semi-persistent CSI transmission in the PUCCH, an activation command under the current 3GPP specification is only capable of selecting one CSI transmission configuration for use by the UE in the PUCCH. Thus, to allow slot-specific CSI transmission, an activation command capable of enabling more than one CSI transmission configuration is required.The second problem is that, for periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS resources, the CSI-RS resource configuration set up to perform a CSI measurement, i.e., the configured frequency-domain resources, may overlap with uplink sub-bands (UL-SB) in SBFD (partitioned) slots when the same CSI-RS resource configuration is applied to both SBFD (partitioned) and non-SBFD (unpartitioned) slots. The third problem is that a UE under the current 3GPP specifications is configured to send a single value for each transmitted CSI measurement quantity that is based on periodic and / or semi-persistent CSI-RS resources. For measurement and transmission of... Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 24 / 66 11 / 32 CSI is required in SBFD; separate CSI transmission must be configured for partitioned (SBFD) and non-partitioned (non-SBFD) slots.

[0032] In a first proposed scheme, for semi-persistent CSI transmission in the PUCCH, network 130 can configure or activate multiple semi-persistent CSI transmission configurations and / or settings for the UE by configuring an activation command. In several cases, network 130 can perform such configuration of the activation command and then send the activation command to the UE. In several embodiments, the configured activation command can be used to instruct the UE to select multiple semi-persistent transmission configurations or settings for use by the UE in the PUCCH. For example, the activation command can configure the UE to select two transmission configurations or settings for use by the UE in the PUCCH based on two different slot types.In some embodiments, each transmission configuration or definition can be applied to a corresponding set of slots from multiple slot sets, where each corresponding set of slots is of a specific slot type. For example, one of the selected transmission configurations or definitions can be used by the UE for CSI transmission in non-partitioned slots, and the other of the selected transmission configurations or definitions can be used by the UE for CSI transmission in partitioned slots. In these cases, a slot's slot type is non-partitioned when an allocation of resource blocks in the slot for CSI transmission over the 130 network overlaps only with non-partitioned symbols in the slot. Otherwise, the slot type is partitioned. This proposed scheme can solve the first problem associated with the current implementation of CSI transmission by SBFD UEs.

[0033] In a second proposed scheme, for periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS resources, the UE can be configured by Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 25 / 66 12 / 32 network 130 to consider any part of a frequency domain resource configuration, i.e., a CSI-RS resource configuration, that falls outside one or more downlink sub-bands in a partitioned slot as an invalid allocation. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the CSI-RS resource configuration for performing CSI measurements can be applied to slots of both partitioned and unpartitioned types, e.g., partitioned slot 402 and unpartitioned slot 404. Applying the CSI-RS resource configuration, which is based on an initial resource block (startRB) and a number of RBs (nrofRBs) that increases from the startRB, to partitioned slot 402 can result in a CSI-RS resource that includes one or more downlink portions (i.e., one or more downlink sub-bands) of partitioned slot 402 that are used to perform a CSI measurement.However, the CSI-RS resource resulting from such a CSI-RS resource configuration may also include at least one uplink portion (e.g., one or more uplink sub-bands) or at least one guard band portion (e.g., one or more guard bands) of partitioned slot 402, such as portion 406. However, since this at least one uplink portion or at least one guard band portion (e.g., portion 406) is outside one or more downlink sub-bands of partitioned slot 402, the UE is configured to consider such portions as an invalid allocation. Consequently, the UE may exclude any invalid allocation that is outside one or more downlink sub-bands while generating the CSI measurement based on the CSI-RS resource configuration.In various modes, the CSI-RS resource configuration may include the allocation of a contiguous downlink sub-band or the allocation of multiple non-contiguous downlink sub-bands. For example, the CSI-RS resource configuration may be contiguous within a downlink sub-band. Furthermore... Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 26 / 66 13 / 32 of this, since the UE is configured to exclude invalid allocations, the UE can obtain an allocation from multiple non-contiguous downlink sub-bands, excluding any CSI-RS resource in the CSI-RS resource configuration that overlaps one or more uplink sub-bands and / or one or more guard bands as an invalid allocation. This proposed scheme can solve the second problem associated with the current implementation of CSI transmission by SBFD UEs.

[0034] In a third proposed scheme, the UE can be configured by the 130 network to perform channel measurements and send CSI reports for each slot type based on periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS features in the slots. For example, the 130 network can perform this configuration by sending one or more configuration definitions to the UE. In some embodiments, the UE can be configured to generate separate channel measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports for individual slots of each slot type from multiple slot types when a time restriction parameter for measurements that the UE received from the 130 network is set to “not configured”. For example, the parameter could be the timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurements parameter.

[0035] In some embodiments, the UE is configured to perform separate channel measurement values ​​for unpartitioned and partitioned slots within a configured periodicity, for example, a time interval. In such embodiments, a slot type is unpartitioned when an allocation of resource blocks in the slot for CSI transmission over the 130 network only overlaps unpartitioned symbols in the slot. Otherwise, the slot type is partitioned.

[0036] In some cases, the UE can be configured to generate separate channel measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports to periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS resources. Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 27 / 66 14 / 32 belonging to the same CSI-RS feature set. For example, as shown in Part A of FIG. 5, a CSI-RS feature set of CSI-RS features #0 and #1 may be present in two types of slots, namely partitioned slots and non-partitioned slots (e.g., non-partitioned slots 502a-502c and partitioned slots 504a and 504b). Thus, the UE can generate a first CSI report for the non-partitioned slot 502a, performing a channel measurement using one or more of the features #0 and #1 in the non-partitioned slot 502a. Subsequently, the UE can generate a second CSI report for the partitioned slot 504a, performing a channel measurement using one or more of the features #0 and #1 in the partitioned slot 504a, and so on. In this way, the UE can generate a separate CSI report that includes a channel measurement for each of the unpartitioned slots 502a-502c and the partitioned slots 504a and 504b.

[0037] In other embodiments, the UE can be configured to generate separate channel measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports for periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS features that belong to different CSI-RS feature sets. For example, as shown in Part B of FIG. 5, while each of the unpartitioned slots 506a-506c has a CSI-RS feature set that includes features #0 and #1, each of the partitioned slots 508a and 508b has a different CSI-RS feature set that includes features #2 and #3. Thus, by generating a separate channel measurement and sending a separate CSI report for each of the slots (e.g., slots 506a-506c and 508a and 508b), the UE can generate separate channel measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports for CSI-RS features that belong to different CSI-RS feature sets.

[0038] In other embodiments, the UE can be configured to generate and transmit a single corresponding channel measurement value for multiple slots of each slot type (e.g., SBFD slot vs. non-SBFD slot). For example, the UE can Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 28 / 66 15 / 32 transmit a first channel measurement value for multiple slots of a first slot type to network 130 and transmit a second channel measurement value for multiple slots of a second slot type to network 130. In this example, if the UE is configured to provide CSI reports that include a cri-RSRP channel measurement quantity, the UE can transmit a first value in the form of cri-RSRP-0 for multiple slots of the first slot type and transmit a second value in the form of cri-RSRP-1 for multiple slots of the second slot type.

[0039] In this example, the first value can be generated by averaging the individual channel measurement values ​​of the unpartitioned slots (e.g., unpartitioned slots 502a-502c) to obtain a corresponding average channel measurement value for the unpartitioned slots as the first value. Similarly, the second value can be generated by averaging the individual channel measurement values ​​of the partitioned slots (e.g., partitioned slots 504a and 504b) to obtain a corresponding average channel measurement value for the partitioned slots as the second value.

[0040] In some cases, the UE may transmit an initial value for the first slot type to network 130 and then transmit a differential value to the initial value that is used by network 130 to determine the value for the second slot type. In these cases, the differential value may be defined in relation to the first and second reporting values ​​as: differentialReportValue = firstReportValue - secondReportValue

[0041] In other embodiments, the two reported channel measurement values ​​may be included in a single CSI report. The slot sets for which each channel measurement is generated may be indicated to the UE by a higher-layer parameter, such as a Layer 1 or Layer 2 parameter, where Layer 1 refers to the physical layer in the 3GPP specifications, and Layer 2 refers to the media access control (MAC) layer in the 3GPP specifications. In Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, p. 29 / 66 16 / 32 However, in alternative modalities, the UE can be configured by the 130 network to perform a single channel measurement in slots of both slot types. This proposed scheme can solve the third problem associated with the current implementation of CSI transmission by SBFD UEs.

[0042] In a fourth proposed scheme, the UE can be configured by the 130 network to perform interference measurements and send CSI reports to individual slots of each slot type based on periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS features in the slots. In some embodiments, the UE can be configured to generate separate interference measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports to individual slots of each slot type from multiple slot types when a time restriction parameter for measurements that the UE received from the 130 network is set to “not configured”. For example, the parameter could be the timeRestrictionForInterferenceMeasurements parameter.

[0043] In some embodiments, the UE is configured to perform separate interference measurement values ​​for unpartitioned and partitioned slots within a configured periodicity, for example, time interval. In such embodiments, a slot type is unpartitioned when an allocation of resource blocks in the slot for CSI transmission over the 130 network only overlaps unpartitioned symbols in the slot. Otherwise, the slot type is partitioned.

[0044] In some cases, the UE can be configured to generate separate interference measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports for periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS features that belong to the same CSI-RS feature set. For example, as shown in Part A of FIG. 6, a CSI-RS feature set of CSI-RS features #0 and #1 might be Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 30 / 66 17 / 32 is present in two types of slots, namely partitioned slots and non-partitioned slots (for example, non-partitioned slots 602a-602c and partitioned slots 604a and 604b). Thus, the UE can generate a first CSI report for the non-partitioned slot 602a, performing an interference measurement using one or more of the #0 and #1 features in the non-partitioned slot 602a. Subsequently, the UE can generate a second CSI report for the partitioned slot 604a, performing an interference measurement using one or more of the #0 and #1 features in the partitioned slot 604a, and so on. In this way, the UE can generate a separate CSI report that includes an interference measurement for each of the non-partitioned slots 602a-602c and the partitioned slots 604a and 604b.

[0045] In other embodiments, the UE can be configured to generate separate interference measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports for periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS features belonging to different CSI-RS feature sets. For example, as shown in Part B of FIG. 6, while each of the unpartitioned slots 606a-606c has a CSI-RS feature set that includes features #0 and #1, each of the partitioned slots 608a and 608b has a different CSI-RS feature set that includes features #2 and #3. Thus, by generating a separate interference measurement and sending a separate CSI report for each of the slots (e.g., slots 606a-606c and 608a and 608b), the UE can generate separate interference measurement values ​​and send separate CSI reports for CSI-RS features belonging to different CSI-RS feature sets.

[0046] In other embodiments, the UE can be configured to generate and transmit a single corresponding interference measurement value for multiple slots of each slot type (e.g., SBFD slot vs. non-SBFD slot). For example, the UE can transmit a first interference measurement value for multiple slots of a first slot type to the 130 network and Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 31 / 66 18 / 32 transmit a second interference measurement value for multiple slots of a second slot type to the 130 network.

[0047] For example, if the UE is configured to provide CSI reports that include a channel state information resource indicator interference measurement quantity - received reference signal power (criRSRP), the UE can transmit a first value in the form of criRSRP-0 for multiple slots of the first slot type and transmit a second value in the form of cri-RSRP-1 for multiple slots of the second slot type.

[0048] In this example, the first value can be generated by averaging the individual interference measurement values ​​of the unpartitioned slots (e.g., unpartitioned slots 602a-602c) to obtain a corresponding average interference measurement value for the unpartitioned slots as the first value. Similarly, the second value can be generated by averaging the individual interference measurement values ​​of the partitioned slots (e.g., partitioned slots 604a and 604b) to obtain a corresponding average interference measurement value for the partitioned slots as the second value.

[0049] In some cases, the UE may transmit an initial value for the first slot type to network 130 and then transmit a differential value to the initial value that is used by network 130 to determine the value for the second slot type. In these cases, the differential value may be defined in relation to the first and second reporting values ​​as: differentialReportValue = firstReportValue - secondReportValue

Additional Notes

[0078] The subject described in this document sometimes illustrates different components contained within or connected to other different components. It should be understood that such described architectures are merely examples and that, in reality, many other architectures that achieve the same functionality can be implemented. In a conceptual sense, any arrangement of components to achieve the same functionality is effectively associated in such a way that the desired functionality is achieved. Therefore, any two components combined here to achieve a specific functionality can be seen as associated with each other, so that the desired functionality is achieved, regardless of architectures or intermediate components. Similarly, any two components thus associated can also be seen as being operationally connected or operationally coupled to each other to achieve the Petition 870250088693, dated 09 / 30 / 2025, page 43 / 66 30 / 32 desired functionality, and any two components capable of being thus associated can also be seen as being operationally coupleable to each other to achieve the desired functionality. Specific examples of operationally coupleable components include, but are not limited to, physically coupleable and / or physically interactive components and / or wireless interactive components and / or interacting wirelessly and / or logically interactive and / or logically interactable components.
