Slot format for intra-frequency cross-link interference measurements

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating resources for measuring cross-link interference (CLI). The UE may determine that the resource overlaps (e.g., at least partially overlaps) with one or more symbols or transmission opportunities. The UE may determine whether to measure CLI on the resource based on what the resource overlaps with. For example, if one or more of the symbols are uplink or if the resource overlaps with a transmission opportunity, the UE may not measure CLI. If one or more of the symbols are downlink, the UE may measure CLI. If one or more of the symbols are flexible or of unknown type, the UE may determine whether to measure CLI based on the type of the control signaling.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The following relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to time slot formats for intra-frequency cross-link interference measurements. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcasting, etc. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems (such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, advanced LTE (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems), and fifth generation (5G) systems, which may be referred to as new radio (NR) systems. These systems may use various technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform extended orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each base station or network access node simultaneously supporting the communication of multiple communication devices, which may be referred to as user equipment (UE) in addition.

[0003] Overview

[0004] The described technology relates to improved methods, systems, devices and apparatuses for supporting time slot formats for intra-frequency cross-link interference (CLI) measurement. In general, the described technology provides a user equipment (UE) to determine whether to measure CLI based on one or more types of code elements overlapping with resources for measuring CLI (e.g., downlink, uplink, or flexible), or based on the type of control signaling that configures the resource (e.g., semi-static control signaling or dynamic control signaling), or based on both. For example, the UE may receive control signaling indicating resources for measuring CLI. The UE may determine that the resource overlaps with a code element set or a transmission opportunity. The UE may determine whether to measure CLI on the resource based on the resource overlapping with the code element set or the transmission opportunity. For example, if one of the code elements in the code element set is uplink or if the resource overlaps with the transmission opportunity, the UE may not measure CLI. If one of the code elements in the code element set or each code element in the code element set is a downlink code element, the UE may measure CLI. If any symbol in the symbol set is flexible or has an unknown type, the UE may determine whether to measure CLI based on, for example, the type of control signaling. For example, if the control signaling is semi-static, the UE may not measure CLI, but if the control signaling is dynamic, the UE may measure CLI.

[0075] Detailed Description

[0076] The base station and user equipment (UE) may perform time division duplex (TDD), where each symbol in each time slot may be one of a downlink symbol, an uplink symbol, or a flexible symbol. Downlink symbols may be used for downlink communications from the base station, uplink symbols may be used for uplink communications to the base station, and flexible symbols may be used for either communication. The symbol type (which may be referred to as a slot format) to which the UE is allocated on one or more time slots may be determined by the UE based on one or more signaling types.

[0077] First, the base station may transmit and the UE may receive semi-static control signaling (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) signaling) that configures the UE to have a common slot format and a dedicated slot format. The common slot format may be a format that is common to one or more UEs (if not every UE) operating within a cell of the base station. The dedicated slot format may be specifically applicable to the UE to which it is sent and may indicate that a symbol indicated as flexible by the common slot format is to be reconfigured to be used as an uplink symbol or a downlink symbol or to remain a flexible symbol.

[0078] Second, the base station may transmit and the UE may receive dynamic control signaling (e.g., downlink control information (DCI) signaling) that configures the UE to have a dynamic slot format. The dynamic slot format may indicate that a symbol indicated as flexible by the common slot format or the dynamic slot format or both is to be reconfigured to be used as an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, or to remain a flexible symbol.

[0079] In some examples, because a UE (e.g., an aggressor UE) operating in a first cell has an uplink or flexible symbols and a UE (e.g., a victim UE) operating in another cell has a downlink or flexible symbols, the UE operating in the first cell may interfere with another UE operating in the other cell. Such interference may be referred to as cross-link interference (CLI). If the CLI occurs in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the victim UE, the CLI may be referred to as an intra-frequency CLI measurement. Some aspects of the following disclosure may relate to conditions according to which the victim UE may determine whether to measure CLI.

[0080] For example, the UE may receive control signaling indicating resources for measuring CLI and may determine that the indicated resources overlap (e.g., at least partially overlap) with one or more symbols in the set of symbols. If the UE receives semi-static control signaling whose common slot format or dedicated slot format indicates that at least some of the symbols in the set of symbols (if not every symbol) are downlink symbols, the UE may measure CLI on the resource. Additionally or alternatively, if the common slot format or dedicated slot format of the semi-static control signaling indicates that at least some of the symbols in the set of symbols are uplink symbols, the UE may refrain from measuring CLI on the resource.

[0081] If the semi-static or dynamic control signaling indicates that at least some of the symbols in the set of symbols are flexible, or if the UE fails to receive control signaling indicating the type of the symbol (e.g., the symbol has an unknown type at the UE), the UE may measure CLI on the resource or may refrain from doing so based on one or more conditions. For example, if the control signaling indicating the resource for measuring CLI is semi-static control signaling, the UE may refrain from measuring CLI on the resource. However, if the control signaling indicating the resource for measuring CLI is dynamic control signaling, the UE may measure CLI on the resource. Additionally, in the case where the resource overlaps (e.g., at least partially overlaps) with a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission opportunity, or a threshold number of symbols before the PRACH transmission opportunity, or both, the UE may refrain from measuring CLI on the resource.

[0082] Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communication systems. Additional aspects of the disclosure are described in the context of additional wireless communication systems, slot format indication schemes, CLI resource overlap scenarios, and process flows. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow diagrams related to slot formats for intra-frequency CLI measurements.

[0083] Figure 1An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting a slot format for intra-frequency CLI measurements in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a long term evolution (LTE) network, an advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a new radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0084] The base stations 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100, and may be different forms of devices or devices with different capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which the UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0085] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary or mobile, or stationary and mobile at different times. The UEs 115 may be different forms of devices or devices with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, base stations 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment), such as Figure 1 as shown in .

[0086] Each base station 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or communicate with each other, or both. For example, the base station 105 may interface with the core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interfaces). The base stations 105 may communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between the base stations 105), or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130), or directly and indirectly on the backhaul link 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interfaces). In some examples, the backhaul link 120 may be or include one or more wireless links.

[0087] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include or may be referred to by a person of ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a B node, an evolved B node (eNB), a next generation B node or a gigabit B node (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a home B node, a home evolved B node, or other suitable terminology.

[0088] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable term, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, etc. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects such as electrical appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0089] The UE 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, which may sometimes act as relays, as well as base stations 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 as shown in .

[0090] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may communicate wirelessly with each other via one or more communication links 125 on one or more carriers. The term "carrier" may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., BWP) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating carrier operations, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communication with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. The UE 115 may be configured to have multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used in conjunction with both frequency division duplex (FDD) and TDD component carriers.

[0091] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be located according to a channel grid for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in a standalone mode in which initial acquisition and connection may be made by UE 115 via the carrier, or a carrier may operate in a non-standalone mode in which a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., a different carrier of the same or different radio access technology).

[0092] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include an uplink transmission from the UE 115 to the base station 105, or a downlink transmission from the base station 105 to the UE 115. A carrier may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode).

[0093] A carrier may be associated with a given bandwidth of a radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a "system bandwidth" of the carrier or wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of several determined bandwidths (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)) of a carrier of a given radio access technology. The devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., base stations 105, UEs 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communications on a given carrier bandwidth, or may be configurable to support communications on one of the carrier bandwidths in a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a base station 105 or UE 115 that supports simultaneous communications via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate on a portion (e.g., subband, BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0094] The signal waveform transmitted on the carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system using MCM technology, a resource element may include a code element period (e.g., the duration of a modulation code element) and a subcarrier, where the code element period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the code rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements received by UE 115 and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate of UE 115 can be. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers can further improve the data rate or data integrity of communication with UE 115.

[0095] One or more parameter designs for a carrier may be supported, where the parameter designs may include subcarrier spacing (Δf) and cyclic prefixes. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different parameter designs. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time, and communications for a UE 115 may be limited to the one or more active BWPs.

[0096] The time interval of the base station 105 or the UE 115 can be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, and the basic time unit can be, for example, a sampling period T s =1 / (Δf max ·N f ) seconds, where Δf max It can represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. Time intervals of communication resources may be organized according to radio frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0097] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into a number of time slots. Additionally or alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a number of code element periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix added before each code element period). In some wireless communication systems 100, the time slot may be further divided into a plurality of mini-time slots containing one or more code elements. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each code element period may contain one or more (e.g., N f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating band.

[0098] A subframe, slot, mini-slot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0099] Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. Physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across a system bandwidth or a subset of a system bandwidth of a carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search a control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for transmitting control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for transmitting control information to a specific UE 115 .

[0100] Each base station 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells (e.g., macro cells, small cells, hot spots, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof). The term "cell" may refer to a logical communication entity used to communicate with a base station 105 (e.g., on a carrier), and may be associated with an identifier (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or other) used to distinguish adjacent cells. In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area 110 or a portion of a geographic coverage area 110 (e.g., a sector) on which a logical communication entity operates. The range of such a cell may range from a smaller area (e.g., a structure, a subset of a structure) to a larger area depending on various factors (such as the capabilities of the base station 105). For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or an external space between or overlapping a geographic coverage area 110, as well as other examples.

[0101] In some examples, base stations 105 may be mobile and, therefore, provide communication coverage for mobile geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0102] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low latency communication or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) or mission-critical communication. UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low latency or critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communication may include private communication or group communication, and may be supported by one or more mission-critical services (such as mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission-critical video (MCVideo), or mission-critical data (MCData). Support for mission-critical functions may include prioritization of services, and mission-critical services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low latency, critical mission, and ultra-reliable low latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0103] In some examples, UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UE 115 over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communication may be within a geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105, or may not be able to receive transmissions from the base station 105 for other reasons. In some examples, each group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system, in which each UE 115 transmits to each other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, the base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between each UE 115 without involving the base station 105.

[0104] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), and the EPC or 5GC may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to an external network. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by a base station 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be delivered via a user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to a network operator IP service 150. Operator IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0105] Some network devices (such as base stations 105) may include subcomponents, such as access network entities 140, which may be examples of access node controllers (ANCs). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with each UE 115 through one or more other access network transport entities 145, which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission / reception points (TRPs). Each access network transport entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or merged into a single network device (e.g., base station 105).

[0106] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). In general, the 300 MHz to 3 GHz region is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from about 1 decimeter to 1 meter long. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but these waves may penetrate various structures sufficiently for macro cells to provide service to UEs 115 located indoors. Transmissions using UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) than transmissions using smaller frequencies and longer waves in the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0107] The wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may employ licensed assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band (such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band). When operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, devices (such as base stations 105 and UEs 115) may employ carrier sensing for conflict detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in an unlicensed band may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration (e.g., LAA) in coordination with component carriers operating in a licensed band. Operations in an unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among others.

[0108] The base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which can be used to employ technologies such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or UE 115 may be located in one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that can support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly (such as an antenna tower). In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located at different geographical locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array having antenna ports of several rows and columns that the base station 105 can use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0109] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array so that some signals propagating at a given orientation relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals communicated via antenna elements may include the transmitting device or the receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried via antenna elements associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each antenna element may be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a given orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting device or the receiving device, or relative to some other orientation).

[0110] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and the like. These systems may be multiple access systems capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). A wireless network (e.g., a wireless local area network (WLAN), such as a Wi-Fi (i.e., an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11) network) may include an access point (AP) that can communicate with one or more wireless or mobile devices. An AP may be coupled to a network (such as the Internet) and may enable a mobile device to communicate via the network (or to communicate with other devices coupled to the access point). A wireless device may communicate bidirectionally with a network device. For example, in a WLAN, a device may communicate with an associated AP via a downlink (e.g., a communication link from an AP to a device) and an uplink (e.g., a communication link from a device to an AP). A wireless personal area network (PAN), which may include a Bluetooth connection, may provide a short-range wireless connection between two or more paired wireless devices. For example, a wireless device (such as a cellular telephone) may utilize wireless PAN communications to exchange information, such as audio signals, with a wireless head mounted device.

[0111] In general, the techniques described herein may enable a UE 115 to determine whether to measure CLI based on the type of symbol overlapping with a resource for measuring CLI (e.g., downlink, uplink, flexible, or unknown), or the type of control signaling that configures the resource (e.g., semi-static control signaling or dynamic control signaling), or both. For example, the UE 115 may receive control signaling from the base station 105 indicating a resource for measuring CLI. The UE 115 may determine that the resource overlaps with a symbol set or a PRACH transmission opportunity. The UE 115 may determine whether to measure CLI on the resource based on what the resource overlaps with. For example, if one of the symbols in the symbol set is uplink or if the resource overlaps with a PRACH transmission opportunity, the UE may not measure CLI. Alternatively, if each of the symbols is downlink, the UE 115 may measure CLI. If any of the symbols is flexible or of an unknown type, the UE 115 may determine whether to measure CLI based on the type of control signaling. For example, if the control signaling is semi-static, the UE 115 may not measure the CLI. Additionally or alternatively, if the control signaling is dynamic, the UE 115 may measure the CLI.

[0112] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports a time slot format for intra-frequency CLI measurements in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the wireless communication system 200 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the wireless communication system 200 may include UEs 115-a and 115-b (which may be as described with reference to Figure 1 Examples of various aspects of the UE 115 described herein) and base stations 105-a and 105-b (which may be as described with reference to Figure 1 ). UE 115-a may communicate with base station 105-a within coverage area 110-a of base station 105-a, and UE 115-b may communicate with base station 105-b within coverage area 110-b of base station 105-b.

[0113] UE 115-a and 115-b may each have a corresponding format, such as a TDD uplink-downlink time slot format 205. For example, UE 115-a may have an associated time slot format 205-a, and UE 115-b may have an associated time slot format 205-b. Each time slot format 205 may be configured with one or more types of symbols. For example, the time slot format 205 may configure the codewords as downlink codewords 210, flexible codewords 215, or uplink codewords 220. Downlink codewords 210 may be used for downlink communication (e.g., receiving transmissions 223 from a base station), uplink codewords 220 may be used for uplink communication (e.g., transmitting transmissions 224 to a base station), and flexible codewords 215 may be used for either type of communication. In some examples, each time slot may span one or more codewords, and in some examples may have a uniform length (e.g., each time slot may span the same number of codewords).

[0114] In some examples, the time slot formats 205 of UE 115-a and 115-b may be different (e.g., one or more code elements of time slot format 205-a may be configured to have a different type than one or more code elements of time slot format 205-b (such as corresponding overlapping code elements)). For example, the uplink code element 220 of time slot format 205-b may overlap with the downlink code element 210 of time slot format 205-a. In some examples, the uplink code elements 220-a and 220-b of time slot format 205-b may overlap with the downlink code elements 210-a and 210-b of time slot format 205-a, respectively. In such a situation, a transmission 224 transmitted by UE 115-b in at least one of the uplink code elements 220-a or 220-b may cause interference 225 to UE 115-a when UE 115-a is receiving a transmission 223 from base station 105-a. In such a scenario, UE 115-a may be referred to as a victim UE 115, UE 115-b may be referred to as an aggressor UE 115, and interference 225 may be referred to as a CLI. Examples of how the network may configure the slot format 205 may be found elsewhere herein (e.g., with reference to Figure 3 )describe.

[0115] In some examples, a network (e.g., base station 105-a) may configure measurements of CLI at a victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) using a metric (e.g., a measurement metric) to facilitate CLI management. Examples of measurement metrics may include a CLI received signal strength indicator (RSSI) or a CLI sounding reference signal (SRS) reference signal received power (RSRP), among others. In the case where the measurement metric includes the CLI RSSI, the aggressor UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-b) may transmit the SRS to the victim UE (e.g., UE 115-a) to facilitate the measurement. If the network (e.g., base station 105-a) configures CLI, for example, via semi-static control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling), the CLI measurements may be periodic. If the network (e.g., base station 105-a) configures CLI, for example, via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI), the CLI measurements may be semi-persistent or aperiodic.

[0116] In some examples, the CLI measurement may be an intra-frequency CLI measurement. In such a scenario, the victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) may measure the CLI within the bandwidth of the active BWP of the victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a). Additionally or alternatively, the configuration of the CLI RSSI resources, or the CLI SRS resources, or both may be based on the serving cell frequency grid of the victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a). Additionally, the victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) may measure the CLI based on the subcarrier spacing (SCS) of its active BWP. If the CLI SRS transmitted by the aggressor UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-b) is configured with a different SCS, the victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) may not be able to measure the SRS.

[0117] The victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) may measure the intra-frequency CLI in a manner similar to how the victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) measures a downlink signal, a downlink channel, or both from a serving base station 105 (e.g., base station 105-a). In this way, multiplexing of CLI resources with a serving cell or a serving cell channel (or both) may be achieved based on scheduling. In such a case, the victim UE 115 may not use dedicated measurement gaps for intra-frequency CLI measurements.

[0118] UE 115-a may perform CLI measurements in a downlink symbol 210 of UE 115-a. However, whether UE 115-a is to perform CLI measurements when CLI resources overlap (e.g., at least partially overlap) with flexible symbols 215 of UE 115-a may depend on how the resources used to perform CLI measurements are configured. For example, if the base station 105-a configures CLI measurement resources via semi-static control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) and the CLI measurement resources overlap with the flexible symbols 215, the UE 115-a may refrain from measuring CLI on the configured CLI measurement resources. However, if the base station 105-a configures DLI measurement resources via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI) and the CLI measurement resources overlap with the flexible symbols 215, the UE 115-a may measure CLI on the configured CLI measurement resources (e.g., as long as the configured measurement resources do not overlap with uplink symbols at the same time). Additional details can be found elsewhere herein (e.g., see Figure 4A , 4B and 4C) description.

[0119] Additionally, in the event that the resource overlaps with a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission opportunity, or a threshold number of symbols before the PRACH transmission opportunity, or both, UE 115-a may refrain from measuring CLI on the resource. Additional details may be found elsewhere herein (e.g., see Figure 5 )describe.

[0120] Applying one or more conditions to determine whether to measure CLI on the configured CLI measurement resources can have one or more advantages. In some examples, applying such one or more conditions can prioritize what type of transmission the codeword is to carry. For example, according to the methods described herein, flexible codewords may not be used to carry higher layer configured transmissions (e.g., transmissions configured via RRC signaling), but may be used for dynamically scheduled uplink or downlink transmissions (e.g., transmissions scheduled via DCI); there are other advantages.

[0121] Figure 3 An example of a time slot format indication scheme 300 that supports a time slot format for intra-frequency CLI measurements in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the time slot format indication scheme 300 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100, 200, or both. For example, the time slot format indication scheme 300 may be implemented by a UE 115-c (which may be as described in reference to Figure 1 2 or both) and a base station 105-c (which may be as described in reference Figure 1 or 2 or both described examples of base station 105) to achieve.

[0122] UE 115-c may determine the time slot format (e.g., whether the codeword is flexible in the uplink or downlink direction) based on a semi-static configuration or a dynamic configuration. For example, the base station 105-c may indicate the semi-static configuration to the UE 115-c via semi-static control signaling 302. In some examples, the semi-static control signaling may include RRC signaling. Additionally or alternatively, the base station 105-c may indicate the dynamic configuration to the UE 115-c via dynamic control signaling 301. The dynamic control signaling 301 may include a time slot format indication (SFI) DCI (e.g., DCI format 2_0), one or both of an uplink scheduling DCI or a downlink scheduling DCI (e.g., DCI format 0_0, 0_1, 1_0, 1_1, or 2_3), or a higher layer configuration.

[0123] The semi-static control signaling 302 may indicate a common slot format (i.e., tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon) and a dedicated slot format (i.e., tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated). The common slot format may indicate a slot format 310 for each slot on a slot set 305 (e.g., several slots 310) that is common to one or more UEs 115 communicating with a base station 105-c (e.g., the common slot format configuration may be a slot format configuration that varies from cell to cell). For example, in some examples, the common slot format may indicate that each symbol of slots 310-a, 310-b, and 310-c and some symbols of slot 310-d may be configured as downlink symbols. Additionally, in some examples, the common slot format may indicate that each symbol of slot 310-g and some symbols of slot 310-f are uplink symbols. Additionally, in some examples, the common time slot format may indicate that each codeword of time slot 310-e and the remaining codewords of time slots 310-d and 310-f (e.g., those codewords that are not configured as downlink or uplink codewords by the common time slot format) are flexible codewords.

[0124] The dedicated slot format may override (e.g., reconfigure, replace) the flexible symbols per slot provided by the common format on the slot set 305 (e.g., several slots 310). The dedicated slot format may be a slot format configuration that varies by UE (e.g., may be specific to UE 115-c). For example, in some examples, the dedicated format may reconfigure some symbols of slot 310-d indicated as flexible symbols by the common format to be used as uplink symbols; each symbol of slot 310-e may be reconfigured to be used as a downlink symbol; and symbols of slot 310-f indicated as flexible symbols by the common format may be reconfigured to be used as uplink symbols. Additionally, the dedicated slot format may indicate that the remaining symbols of slot 310-d indicated as flexible symbols by the common format are to remain as flexible symbols.

[0125] The dynamic control signaling 301 may indicate the dynamic slot format explicitly (e.g., in the case of an SFI DCI) or implicitly (e.g., in the case of an uplink or downlink scheduling DCI). The dynamic control signaling 301 may indicate the uplink or downlink direction of a semi-statically configured flexible symbol (e.g., configured via a common slot format, a dedicated slot format, or both). For example, in some examples, the dedicated format may reconfigure the symbols of the slot 310-d indicated as flexible symbols by the dedicated format to be used as downlink symbols. It should be noted that in some examples, the dynamic slot format may be configured to reconfigure the symbols of the slot 310 indicated as flexible symbols by the common format to be used as downlink or uplink symbols. Additionally, the dynamic slot format may indicate that the flexible symbols configured by the common slot format or the dedicated slot format are to remain flexible symbols.

[0126] UE 115-c may support semi-statically configured slot format configuration (if provided) and may choose whether to support SFI DCI (e.g., based on a UE capability report transmitted by UE 115-c). Figure 4A , 4BThe examples described in 4C may be set up so that UE 115-c may support some or each of the following rules or conditions. When performing a timeslot format determination, UE 115-c may determine that semi-statically configured downlink and uplink symbols may not be modified to be used as another type (e.g., as an uplink (if not yet an uplink), as a downlink (if not yet a downlink), or as a flexible). Additionally, UE 115-c may determine that flexible symbols may not be used for downlink or uplink transmissions configured by a higher layer. Additionally, UE 115-c may determine that flexible symbols may be used for downlink or uplink transmissions dynamically scheduled based on DCI. Additionally, UE 115-c may determine that scheduling DCI has a higher priority than a higher layer configuration for downlink and uplink transmissions. Additionally, UE 115-c may determine that scheduling SFI DCI has a higher priority than a higher layer configuration for downlink and uplink transmissions. Additionally, the UE 115-c may determine that the scheduling DCI and the SFI DCI have the same priority.Such rules or conditions may be applied to downlink reception of CLI resources when the CLI resources are configured for intra-frequency CLI measurements as described herein.

[0127] By using a common slot format, a dedicated slot format, a dynamic slot format, or any combination thereof, the UE 115-c may determine whether each symbol within each slot 310 in the slot set 305 is an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, or a flexible symbol. However, it may be advantageous to apply one or more conditions to determine whether to measure CLI on CLI resources that overlap with any subset of any slots 310 in the slot set 305. For example, applying the one or more conditions may prioritize what type of transmission the symbol is to carry. Scenarios involving a UE 115 (such as a UE 115-c) determining whether to measure CLI when a CLI resource overlaps with symbols of different types may be described elsewhere herein (e.g., with reference to FIG. 1 ). Figure 4A , 4B and 4C) description.

[0128] Figure 4A , 4B 4C illustrate examples of CLI resource overlap scenarios 400-a, 400-b, and 400-c supporting a slot format for intra-frequency CLI measurement in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, CLI resource overlap scenarios 400-a, 400-b, and 400-c may be implemented by aspects of wireless communication system 100 or wireless communication system 200 or both. For example, CLI resource overlap scenarios 400-a, 400-b, and 400-c may represent scenarios in which resources configured for measuring CLI at UE 115 overlap with symbols (e.g., overlap in time, frequency, or both).

[0129] exist Figure 4A In the example, CLI resource 405-a (which may also be referred to as CLI measurement resource) may be associated with downlink symbol 410 of UE 115 (which may be as described in reference to Figure 2 The CLI resource 105-a may be configured by a higher layer for periodic measurement (e.g., via semi-static control signaling (such as RRC signaling)) to measure CLI in a set of symbols of a time slot in which the downlink symbol 410 resides. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 may receive a corresponding indication via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI) that configures the CLI resource 405-a, or triggers semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or aperiodic measurement in the CLI resource 405-a, or both. The downlink symbol 410 may be one of a set of symbols that overlaps with the CLI resource 405-a.

[0130] If the downlink symbol 410 is indicated as downlink by the common format or the dedicated format of the semi-static control signaling 302, if the common slot format or the dedicated slot format indicates that the downlink symbol 410 is flexible, but the dynamic slot format of the dynamic control signaling 301 indicates that the symbol is downlink, or if the common slot format or the dedicated slot format is not available (e.g., because the UE 115 did not receive the semi-static control signaling 302), but the dynamic slot format indicates the downlink symbol 410 as downlink, then the downlink symbol 410 is available for the UE 115 to receive the CLI resource 405-a in the downlink symbol 410 (e.g., based on one or more rules or conditions to determine that other symbols in the symbol set (if any) are also downlink or proceed as if other symbols in the symbol set are also downlink). In this way, as mentioned herein, the downlink symbol can be used for downlink transmissions but not for uplink transmissions. UE 115 may perform reception or measurement in a scenario where CLI resources 405-a are configured for periodic CLI measurements based on higher layer configuration (e.g., via semi-static control signaling) or in a scenario where CLI resources 405-a are configured for semi-persistent or aperiodic measurements.

[0131] exist Figure 4B In the example, CLI resource 405-b (which may also be referred to as CLI measurement resource) may be associated with uplink symbol 415 of UE 115 (which may be as described in reference to Figure 24. The uplink symbol 415 may overlap with the CLI resource 405-b (e.g., an example of uplink symbol 220 described in the foregoing description). CLI resource 405-b may be configured by a higher layer for periodic measurement (e.g., via semi-static control signaling (such as RRC signaling)) to measure CLI in a set of symbols of a time slot in which uplink symbol 415 resides. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115 may receive a corresponding indication via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI) that configures CLI resource 405-b, or triggers semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or aperiodic measurement in CLI resource 405-b, or both. Uplink symbol 415 may be one of a set of symbols that overlap with CLI resource 405-b.

[0132] If the uplink symbol 415 is indicated as uplink by the common format or the dedicated format of the semi-static control signaling 302, if the common slot format or the dedicated slot format indicates that the uplink symbol 415 is flexible, but the dynamic slot format of the dynamic control signaling 301 indicates that the symbol is uplink, or if the common slot format or the dedicated slot format is not available (e.g., because the UE 115 did not receive the semi-static control signaling 302), but the dynamic slot format indicates that the uplink symbol 415 is uplink, then the uplink symbol 415 may not be available for the UE 115 to receive the CLI resource 405-b in the uplink symbol 415. Thus, when the CLI resource 405-b overlaps (e.g., at least partially or completely overlaps) with the symbol set of the time slot, the UE 115 may refrain from measuring the CLI on the CLI resource 405-b. In this way, as mentioned herein, the uplink symbol may be used for uplink transmissions but not for downlink transmissions.

[0133] UE 115 may perform reception or measurement in a case where CLI resource 405-b is configured for periodic CLI measurement based on a higher layer configuration (e.g., via semi-static control signaling) or in a case where CLI resource 405-b is configured for semi-persistent or aperiodic measurement. In a case where a higher layer configuration configures CLI resource 405-b, suppressing measurement of CLI in CLI resource 405-b when the dynamic format indicates that uplink symbol 415 is an uplink symbol may correspond to SFI DCI having a higher priority than higher level configuration signaling.

[0134] exist Figure 4C In the example, CLI resource 405-c (which may also be referred to as CLI measurement resource) may be associated with flexible codeword 420 of UE 115 (which may be as described in reference to Figure 2The CLI resource 405-c may be configured by a higher layer for periodic measurement (e.g., via semi-static control signaling (such as RRC signaling)) to measure CLI in a set of symbols of a time slot in which the flexible symbol 420 resides. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 may receive a corresponding indication via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI) that configures the CLI resource 405-c, or triggers semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or aperiodic measurement in the CLI resource 405-c, or both. The flexible symbol 420 may be one of the symbols in the set of symbols that overlaps with the CLI resource 405-c.

[0135] In the case where CLI resources 405-c are configured via higher layer configuration (e.g., via semi-static control signaling rather than dynamic control signaling), when the common slot format or the dedicated slot format indicates that the flexible symbols 420 are flexible or the common slot format or the dedicated slot format is not provided (e.g., because the UE 115 fails to detect the semi-static control signaling 302), and if the UE 115 detects the dynamic control signaling 301 indicating that the flexible symbols 420 are flexible, then the UE 115 may refrain from measuring CLI on the CLI resources 405-c. Refraining from measuring CLI in such a case may correspond to flexible symbols not being used for downlink transmissions configured by the higher layers.

[0136] Additionally, in the case where CLI resources 405-c are configured via higher layer configuration (e.g., via semi-static control signaling), when the common slot format or the dedicated slot format indicates that the flexible symbol 420 is flexible or the common slot format or the dedicated slot format is not provided (e.g., due to the UE 115 failing to detect the semi-static control signaling 302), and when the UE 115 is configured to support SFI DCI (e.g., DCI with DCI format 2_0) but does not detect the SFI DCI, the UE 115 may refrain from measuring CLI on the CLI resources 405-c. Refraining from measuring CLI in such a case may correspond to flexible symbols not being used for downlink transmissions configured by the higher layers.

[0137] Alternatively, in a scenario where CLI resource 405-c is configured via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI), when UE 115 is not configured to receive SFI DCI, when the common slot format or dedicated slot format indicates that the flexible codeword 420 is flexible or the common slot format or dedicated slot format is not provided (e.g., because UE 115 fails to detect semi-static control signaling 302), UE 115 may measure CLI in CLI resource 405-c if UE 115 receives a corresponding indication of triggering DCI measurement indicated by the DCI (e.g., and if other codewords in the set overlapping with CLI resource 405-c are downlink or flexible codewords). Additionally, in a scenario where CLI resources 405-c are configured via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI), when a common slot format or a dedicated slot format indicates that the flexible codeword 420 is flexible or no common slot format or a dedicated slot format is provided (e.g., because the UE 115 fails to detect the semi-static control signaling 302), when the UE detects an SFI DCI indicating that the flexible codeword 420 is flexible, and when the UE 115 detects a DCI indicating to the UE 115 that CLI is to be measured in the CLI resource 405-c, the UE 115 may measure CLI in the CLI resource 405-c (e.g., when other codewords in the set that overlap with the CLI resource 405-c are downlink or flexible codewords).

[0138] Additionally, in a scenario where CLI resource 405-c is configured via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI), when UE 115 is not configured to receive SFI DCI, when the common slot format or the dedicated slot format indicates that the flexible symbol 420 is flexible or the common slot format or the dedicated slot format is not provided (e.g., due to the UE 115 failing to detect the semi-static control signaling 302), and if the UE 115 is configured to receive SFI DCI but does not detect the SFI DCI providing a dynamic slot format for the slot, the UE 115 may measure CLI in the CLI resource 405-c if the UE 115 receives a corresponding indication triggering the measurement via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI) (e.g., and if other symbols in the set overlapping with the CLI resource 405-c are downlink or flexible symbols). Additionally, in the case where the CLI resource 405-c is configured via dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI), when the common slot format or the dedicated slot format indicates that the flexible symbol 420 is flexible or the common slot format or the dedicated slot format is not provided (e.g., because the UE 115 fails to detect the semi-static control signaling 302), the UE 115 may determine that it will not receive the SFI DCI indicating that the flexible symbol 420 is an uplink symbol, and may detect the dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI format) indicating to the UE 115 that the CLI is to be measured in the CLI resource 405-c in at least one symbol in the set of symbols from the slot to which the flexible symbol 420 corresponds. Measuring CLI in such a case may correspond to the scheduling DCI and the SFI DCI having the same priority level.

[0139] In the event that the UE 115 is configured by higher layers (e.g., via semi-static control signaling 302) to receive CLI resources 405-b, the UE 115 may refrain from measuring CLI on the CLI resource 405 if the UE 115 detects a DCI whose format (e.g., DCI format 0_0, 0_1, 1_0, 1_1, or 2_3) indicates to the UE 115 that a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission, or a sounding reference signal (SRS) is to be transmitted in at least one symbol in a set of symbols that overlaps with the CLI resource 405. Refraining from measuring CLI in such a scenario may correspond to scheduling the DCI having a higher priority than higher layer configuration transmissions (e.g., semi-static control signaling).

[0140] Figure 4A , 4B4C describe scenarios where CLI resources 405 overlap with downlink symbols 410, uplink symbols 415, or flexible symbols 420. There may also be scenarios where CLI resources overlap with a PRACH opportunity or a threshold number of symbols before the PRACH opportunity. Such scenarios may be described elsewhere herein (e.g., with reference to Figure 5 ) are described in further detail.

[0141] Figure 5 An example of a CLI resource overlap scenario 500 supporting a slot format for intra-frequency CLI measurement in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the CLI resource overlap scenario 500 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or the wireless communication system 200 or both. For example, the CLI resource overlap scenario 500 may represent a scenario in which resources configured for measuring CLI at the UE 115 overlap with transmission opportunities for the PRACH.

[0142] The CLI resource 505 may at least partially overlap with a PRACH opportunity 510 or a number of symbols 515 preceding the PRACH opportunity 510, or both. For a set of symbols corresponding to a valid PRACH opportunity 510 and a number of symbols 515 preceding the valid PRACH opportunity, the UE 115 may not be able to measure CLI on the CLI resource 505 if reception may overlap with symbols from the set of symbols. By refraining from measuring the CLI resource 505 in such a scenario, the UE 115 may be able to use the PRACH opportunity 510 to transmit a PRACH transmission; among other advantages.

[0143] Figure 6 An example of a process flow 600 for supporting a time slot format for intra-frequency CLI measurements in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the process flow 600 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the process flow 600 may be implemented by a UE 115-d (which may be as described with reference to FIG. Figure 1 or 2 or both) and base station 105-d (which may be as described in reference Figure 1 or 2 or both described examples of base station 105) to achieve.

[0144] At 605, the base station 105-d may transmit semi-static control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) to the UE 115-d, the semi-static control signaling indicating a slot format for one or more time slots (e.g., via a common slot format or a dedicated slot format or both included in the semi-static control signaling). The semi-static control signaling may indicate that a symbol of a slot in the one or more time slots is uplink, downlink, or flexible. The UE 115-d may receive the semi-static control signaling.

[0145] At 610, the UE 115-d may determine a timeslot format for the one or more timeslots.

[0146] At 615, the base station 105-d may transmit dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI) to the UE 115-d. The dynamic control signaling may indicate that the codeword of the time slot in the one or more time slots is uplink, downlink, or flexible. In the case where the semi-static control signaling transmitted at 605 indicates that the codeword is a flexible codeword and the dynamic control signaling indicates that the codeword is a downlink codeword, the UE 115-d may determine that the codeword is a downlink codeword based on the dynamic control signaling overriding the semi-static control signaling. In the case where the semi-static control signaling transmitted at 605 indicates that the codeword is a flexible codeword and the dynamic control signaling indicates that the codeword is an uplink codeword, the UE 115-d may determine that the codeword is an uplink codeword based on the dynamic control signaling overriding the semi-static control signaling. The UE 115-d may receive the dynamic control signaling.

[0147] At 620, the base station 105-d may transmit control signaling indicating resources for measuring CLI. The control signaling indicating the resources may include semi-static control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) indicating the resources. In some examples, the resources may be periodic based on the control signaling including semi-static control signaling. Additionally or alternatively, the control signaling indicating the resources may include dynamic control signaling (e.g., DCI) indicating the resources. The resources may be aperiodic or semi-persistently scheduled based on the control signaling including dynamic control signaling.

[0148] At 625, UE 115-d may determine that the resource overlaps with a symbol of a time slot in the one or more time slots.

[0149] In some examples, UE 115-d may perform 630-a based on the dynamic control signaling at 615 indicating that the overlapping codewords are downlink codewords or flexible codewords. For example, if the control signaling at 620 includes dynamic control signaling indicating the resource and the overlapping codewords are flexible codewords, UE 115-d may perform 630-a. In some such cases where the dynamic control signaling at 615 indicates that the overlapping codewords are downlink codewords or flexible codewords, performing 630-a may be based on the semi-static control signaling at 605 indicating that the overlapping codewords are flexible codewords. Additionally, if the common time slot format or dedicated time slot format of the semi-static control signaling at 605 indicates that the overlapping codewords are downlink codewords, UE 115-d may perform 630-a. Additionally, if the UE 115 - d fails to detect at least one dynamic control signaling at 615 and fails to detect semi-static control signaling at 605 , but the control signaling at 620 includes dynamic control signaling indicating the resource, the UE 115 - d may perform 630 - a .

[0150] In some examples, UE 115-d may perform 630-b and 635 based on the dynamic control signaling at 615 indicating that the overlapping codewords are downlink codewords or flexible codewords. For example, if the control signaling at 620 includes semi-static control signaling indicating the resource and the overlapping codewords are flexible codewords, UE 115-d may perform 630-b and 635. In some such cases where the dynamic control signaling at 615 indicates that the overlapping codewords are uplink codewords or flexible codewords, performing 630-b and 635 may be based on the semi-static control signaling at 605 indicating that the overlapping codewords are flexible codewords. Additionally, if the common time slot format or dedicated time slot format of the semi-static control signaling at 605 indicates that the overlapping codewords are uplink codewords, UE 115-d may perform 630-b and 635. Additionally, if the UE 115 - d fails to detect at least one dynamic control signaling at 615 and fails to detect semi-static control signaling at 605 , but the control signaling at 620 includes semi-static control signaling indicating the resource, the UE 115 - d may perform 630 - a .

[0151] Additionally, if the symbol is associated with an opportunity for transmitting a random access channel transmission, or if a symbol in the set of symbols in which the symbol resides overlaps with uplink resources (e.g., resources for transmitting a PUSCH transmission, a PUCCH transmission, a PRACH transmission, an SRS, or any combination thereof), the UE 115-d may perform 630-b and 635. In some examples of the former case, the symbol may be within a threshold number of symbols prior to the opportunity for transmitting a random access channel transmission.

[0152] At 630-a, UE 115-d may measure CLI on the indicated resources. Measuring CLI on the resources may involve measuring RSSI, RSRP, or both of an SRS received from UE 115 (e.g., an aggressor UE). In the event that UE 115-d receives SRS, UE 115-d may receive the SRS within an active BWP for measuring CLI.

[0153] At 630-b, UE 115-d may refrain from measuring CLI on the indicated resources. At 635, UE 115-d may communicate with base station 105-d based on refraining from measuring CLI. If the codeword overlapping with the indicated resources is associated with a timing for transmitting a random access channel transmission, UE 115-d may transmit a random access channel transmission at the timing at 635. Additionally or alternatively, if the codeword is one of a set of codeswords having codeswords overlapping with uplink resources, UE 115-d may transmit a PUSCH transmission, a PUCCH transmission, a PRACH transmission, an SRS, or any combination thereof at 635.

[0154] Figure 7 A block diagram 700 of a device 705 supporting a slot format for intra-frequency CLI measurements according to aspects of the present disclosure is shown.

[0158] The communication manager 715 may receive control signaling indicating resources for measuring CLI. The communication manager 715 may determine that the indicated resources overlap with a symbol associated with an opportunity for transmitting a random access channel transmission.

[0160] The communication manager 715 or its subcomponents may be physically located at various locations, including being distributed such that portions of functionality are implemented by one or more physical components at different physical locations. In some examples, according to various aspects of the present disclosure, the communication manager 715 or its subcomponents may be separate and distinct components.

[0161] The transmitter 720 may transmit signals generated by other components of the device 705. In some examples, the transmitter 720 may be co-located with the receiver 710 in a transceiver module. For example, the transmitter 720 may be a reference Fig.10 Examples of various aspects of the transceiver 1015 are described.

[0174] The CLI control signaling receiver 915 may receive control signaling indicating a resource for measuring CLI. In some examples, the control signaling indicating the resource includes a second dynamic control signaling indicating the resource, wherein measuring CLI on the resource overlapping with the flexible symbol includes the second dynamic control signaling based on the control signaling.
