[0003] In summary, various aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatus for measuring interference in full-duplex transmission. Background Technology
[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / Improved LTE is an enhanced set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
[0005] A wireless network may include multiple base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication for multiple user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the BS via downlinks and uplinks. A "downlink" (or "forward link") refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while an "uplink" (or "backlink") refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, Access Point (AP), Radio Headend, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), New Radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.
[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR (which can also be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set of the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL) and CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), thereby better supporting mobile broadband internet access, as well as beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other wireless access technologies remain useful.
[0007] Full-duplex (FD) communication refers to simultaneous uplink and downlink communication performed by a single device using the same resources. FD communication can provide reduced latency, enhance the spectrum efficiency of each cell or UE, and allow for more efficient use of resources. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus or a method may be implemented using any number of the aspects set forth herein. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses or methods implemented using structures, functions, or structures and functions other than or different from the aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.
[0044] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, through various frames, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such an element is implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the entire system.
[0045] It should be noted that while this document may use terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) to describe aspects, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).
[0046] Figure 1This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. Wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, as well as other examples. Wireless network 100 may include multiple base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), etc. Each BS can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.
[0047] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and can allow restricted access by UEs associated with that femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed User Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells can be referred to as a macro BS. A BS used for picocells can be referred to as a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells can be referred to as a femtocell BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the examples shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “Node B,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.
[0048] In some respects, the cell may not be stationary, and the geographical area of the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may be interconnected with each other and / or with one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network via various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).
[0049] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and transmit the data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.
[0050] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs can have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).
[0051] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a group of base stations (BSs) and can provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with the BSs via backhaul. BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul.
[0052] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, user unit, station, etc. UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop computer, cordless phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, tablet device, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or apparatus, biometric sensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet, etc.)), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device, or satellite radio unit, etc.), vehicle component or sensor, smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.
[0053] Some UEs can be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags, which can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes can provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or cellular networks) via wired or wireless communication links, for example. Some UEs can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be considered Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included within a housing housing the components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.
[0054] Typically, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.
[0055] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary for communication with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, etc.) and / or mesh networks. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described herein as being performed by base station 110.
[0056] Devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) (spanning from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), and / or can communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2) (spanning from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequencies (IFs). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is generally referred to as the "below 6 GHz" band. Similarly, FR2 is generally referred to as the "millimeter wave" band, although it is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms "below 6 GHz" and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies below 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., above 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms "millimeter wave" and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., below 24.25 GHz). It is anticipated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.
[0057] As pointed out above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.
[0058] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein generally, T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.
[0059] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for that UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from each UE, process (e.g., code and modulate) the data for that UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (Tx) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding, if applicable) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can (e.g., for OFDM) process its corresponding output symbol stream to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t respectively.
[0060] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if applicable), and provide the detected symbols. Receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) parameter, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameter, Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or CQI parameter, as well as other examples.

[0063] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmitting processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmitting processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from the transmitting processor 264 can be pre-coded (if applicable) by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of UE 120 can be included in the modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modulator and / or demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264 and / or TX MIMO processor 266.

[0064] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide decoded data to data sink 239 and decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244.

In some aspects, modulators and demodulators (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 232) of base station 110 may be included in the modem of base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modulator and / or demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 9-14 (Described).
[0065] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2 Any other components may perform one or more techniques associated with self-interference measurement, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component can perform or direct, for example Figure 11 Process 1100 Figure 12 Process 1200 Figure 13 Process 1300 Figure 14 The operation of process 1400 and / or other processes as described herein.

For example, one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, translation, and / or interpretation), may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or instruct, for example...

[0066] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: a unit for receiving from a base station a CM configuration for a channel measurement (CM) procedure, the CM configuration indicating at least one channel measurement resource (CMR) associated with quasi-co-location (QCL) information, wherein the QCL information corresponds to a Tx beam of the base station associated with the UE's receive (Rx) beam; a unit for receiving an IM configuration for an interference measurement (IM) procedure, the IM configuration indicating at least one interference measurement resource (IMR) associated with a UE beam pair including the UE's Rx beam and the UE's Tx beam; a unit for performing a self-interference measurement (SIM) procedure in full-duplex communication mode to determine one or more SIM metrics associated with the UE beam pair, wherein the SIM procedure is at least partially based on the CM procedure and the IM procedure; a unit for sending a measurement report to the base station at least partially based on the SIM procedure; and so on. In some aspects, such a unit may include a combination of Figure 2One or more components of the described UE 120, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.
[0067] In some aspects, base station 110 may include: a unit for transmitting to the UE a CM configuration for a CM procedure, the CM configuration indicating at least one CMR associated with QCL information, wherein the QCL information corresponds to the base station's Tx beam associated with the UE's Rx beam; a unit for transmitting an IM configuration for an IM procedure, the IM configuration indicating at least one IMR associated with a UE beam pair including the UE's Rx beam and the UE's Tx beam; a unit for receiving a measurement report from the UE at least partially based on a SIM procedure, wherein the measurement report indicates one or more SIM measurements associated with the UE beam pair, wherein the SIM procedure is at least partially based on the CM procedure and the IM procedure; and so on.

[0068] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: a unit for performing a SIM procedure associated with the UE's Rx and Tx beams in full-duplex communication mode, wherein the SIM procedure is performed using UL frequency resources associated with corresponding DL frequency resources, wherein the SIM procedure corresponds to at least one of the following: frequency overlap measurement, the frequency overlap measurement indicating: overlap between DL and UL frequency resources, or guard bandwidth between DL and UL frequency resources; time alignment between DL and UL frequency resources; or a combination thereof; a unit for sending a measurement report to the base station at least in part based on the SIM procedure; and so on. In some aspects, such a unit may include a combination of Figure 2 One or more components of the UE120 described, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.
[0069] In some aspects, base station 110 may include: a unit for configuring a SIM procedure associated with the Rx and Tx beams of the UE in full-duplex communication mode, wherein the SIM procedure is associated with UL frequency resources, the UL frequency resources are associated with corresponding DL frequency resources, and the SIM procedure corresponds to at least one of the following: frequency overlap measurement, the frequency overlap measurement indicating: overlap between DL and UL frequency resources, or guard bandwidth between DL and UL frequency resources; time alignment between DL and UL frequency resources; or combinations thereof; a unit for receiving measurement reports from the UE at least in part based on the SIM procedure; and so on. In some aspects, such a unit may include a combination of... Figure 2 One or more components of the described base station 110, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller / processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, etc.
[0070] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are shown as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components.

[0071] As pointed out above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.
[0072] Figure 3A This is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 300 operating in a semi-static time division duplex (TDD) configuration according to the present disclosure. Figure 3BThis is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 320 operating in a dynamic TDD configuration according to this disclosure. Dynamic TDD can enhance the spectral efficiency of a wireless communication network and provide higher throughput by dynamically changing the UL or DL transmission direction. However, if nearby UEs have different TDD UL-DL timeslot formats, a UE (e.g., UE2 308) can be a victim and can receive UL transmissions from a UE referred to as the aggressor (e.g., UE1 302). UL transmissions received from UE1 302 are referred to as Cross-Link Interference (CLI). CLI occurs when the aggressor's UL symbol (e.g., interference symbol) conflicts with the victim's DL symbol (e.g., interference symbol). CLI may be caused by UL transmissions from the aggressor UE (e.g., UE1 302). The configuration of dynamic TDD can be dynamically changed in response to changes in traffic patterns. For example, in the case of a UL-intensive traffic pattern, dynamic TDD can identify changes in traffic patterns and adaptively change to meet the demand by providing more UL symbols. Alternatively, in the case of a DL-intensive traffic pattern, dynamic TDD can provide more DL symbols to meet the demand.
[0073] exist Figure 3A In this example, UE1 302 is located in cell 1 306 and is served by base station 304, while UE2 308 is located in cell 2 312 and is served by base station 310. CLI (Cellular Connection) may occur between UEs at the cell edges of nearby cells because UEs at the cell edges of nearby cells may be very close to each other. Figure 3A As shown, UE1 302 and UE2 308 are located at their respective cell edges and may be communicating with their respective base stations. UE1 302 may send UL transmission 314 to base station 304, while UE2 308 is receiving DL transmission 316 from base station 310. However, in some cases, UE2 308 may also receive UL transmission 314 sent by UE1 302 to base station 304 while receiving DL transmission 316 from base station 310. The UL transmission 314 received by UE2 308 from UE1 302 causes UL transmission 314 and may interfere with the DL transmission received by UE2 308 from base station 310. Therefore, one or more UL symbols of UL transmission 314 may conflict with one or more DL symbols of DL transmission 316. Figure 3A In the example, the two UL symbols of UL transmission 314 overlap or conflict with the two DL symbols of DL transmission 316, causing CLI to occur at the overlap 318.
[0074] exist Figure 3BIn the example, UE1 302 and UE2 308 are both served by the same cell (e.g., cell 1 306). UE1 302 and UE2 308 are near the cell edge, and in some cases, UE2 308 may also receive UL transmission 314 sent from UE1 302 to base station 304 while receiving DL transmission 316 from base station 304. The UL transmission 314 received by UE2 from UE1 302 results in UL transmission 314 and may interfere with the DL transmission 316 received by UE2 308 from base station 304. Therefore, one or more UL symbols of UL transmission 314 may conflict with one or more DL symbols of DL transmission 316.
[0075] CLI measurement metrics include Sounding Reference Signal Received Power (SRS-RSRP) and CLI Received Signal Strength Indicator (CLI-RSSI). SRS-RSRP may include a linear average of the power contribution of the SRS measured on the configured resource elements within the measurement frequency bandwidth to be considered in the time resources of the configured measurement timing. CLI-RSSI may include a linear average of the total received power observed in certain OFDM symbols of the measurement time resources within the measurement bandwidth only on the configured resource elements used for UE measurements. Both SRS-RSRP and CLI-RSSI measurement reports can be triggered, and periodic reporting is supported. Layer 3 (L3) filtering can be applied, allowing the UE implementation to determine whether to reset the filtering during Bandwidth Part (BWP) handover for CLI-RSSI measurements. A dedicated measurement gap may not be required.
[0076] As pointed out above, Figure 3A and 3B This is provided as one or more examples. Other examples may differ from those provided. Figure 3A and 3B The example described.
[0077] Figure 4 This is a figure illustrating example 400 of a self-interference measurement, at least in part based on Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) measurements for beam management, according to this disclosure. Example 400 relates to a base station 402 (shown as a gNB) and a UE comprising multiple UE panels (e.g., UE panels 1, 2, and 3, shown by reference numerals 404, 406, and 408, respectively). Typically, the beam is in Figure 4 The beam is represented by an ellipse. An ellipse with a given fill level represents a beam, and in... Figure 4Two or more ellipses with the same fill at different locations can represent the same receive or transmit beam at different times. For example, reference numeral 410 shows a set of CSI-RS with repetition transmitted by base station 110 on a first beam in the CSI-RS resource set. The UE can use the corresponding receive beams 412, 414, 416, 418, 420, 422 to measure CSI-RS. Reference numeral 424 shows a set of CSI-RS with repetition transmitted by base station 402 on a second beam in the CSI-RS resource set. Again, the UE can use the corresponding receive beams 412, 414, 416, 418, 420, 422 to measure CSI-RS.
[0078] As indicated by reference numeral 426 in the attached figure, the UE may send a CSI-RS report to base station 402. The CSI-RS report may indicate a top N beams determined at least in part based on measurements performed using receive beams 412 to 422. In example 400, N is 4, but N may be some other number. The top N beams may be selected at least in part based on one or more metrics described elsewhere herein. Here, four CSI-RS beams (not shown) associated with the four Rx beams 414, 418, 420, and 422 are selected.
[0079] Reference numeral 428 illustrates that UE 120 determines self-interference measurements at least in part based on the selected beams. An arrow from the first beam to the second beam can indicate that the first beam transmits a reference signal measured using the second beam to determine the self-interference measurement. For example, the arrow shown in reference numeral 430 indicates that beam 414 is used to transmit SRS, which is measured using beam 418 to determine the self-interference measurement of the Tx and Rx beam pair. The SRS can be associated with a set of SRS resources configured to repeat. In Example 400, each pair of transmit and receive beams from beams 414, 418, 420, and 422 is measured, except for the beam pair formed by beams 420 and 422, since beams 420 and 422 are associated with the same panel. As shown in reference numeral 432, the UE can send an SRS measurement report indicating at least in part based on the top two beam pairs of self-interference measurements determined in conjunction with reference numeral 428.
[0080] As shown by reference numeral 434, in some aspects, the UE may determine the CLI measurement based at least in part on a reference signal associated with the self-interference measurement. For example, the same SRS transmission used to measure the self-interference from beam 414 to beam 418 may be used by a neighboring UE to measure the CLI at panel i of the neighboring UE, as shown by reference numeral 436.
[0081] As pointed out above, Figure 4This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 4 The example described.
[0082] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating example 500 of signaling associated with self-interference measurement for a UE and cross-link interference measurement for one or more neighboring UEs according to this disclosure. As shown, example 500 includes a BS (e.g., BS110), a UE (e.g., UE 120), and two neighboring UEs (e.g., UE 120), shown as neighboring UE1 and neighboring UE2.
[0083] As shown by reference numeral 505, the BS can provide the UE with resource configurations for SIM. For example, the resource configuration can be an SRS resource configuration indicating one or more SRSs to be transmitted by the UE 120. As shown by reference numerals 510 and 515, the BS can provide neighboring UEs with resource configurations for CLI measurements. For example, the resource configuration for CLI measurements can be associated with or share resources with an SRS resource configuration for SRSs to be transmitted by the UE for SIM. As shown by reference numeral 520, the UE can transmit SRSs and can perform SIM at least partially based on the SRSs. The curved arrow indicating the SRS returning to the UE indicates that the UE is performing SIM at least partially based on the SRSs. As shown by reference numerals 525 and 530, neighboring UEs can perform CLI measurements using the SRSs transmitted by the UE, according to the SRS resource configuration.
[0084] As shown by reference numerals 535 and 540, neighboring UEs may send measurement reports at least in part based on CLI measurements. For example, measurement reports may include SRS RSRP reports, CLI RSSI reports, etc. In some aspects, as shown by reference numeral 545, the BS may provide the UE with indications of one or more beams associated with high CLI measurements (e.g., CLI measurements that meet a threshold) that the UE will avoid.
[0085] As shown by reference numeral 550, the UE can report the top M crossbeams (xbeams) with the lowest RSRP measured by the UE (M is an integer). In some aspects, the top M crossbeams can be selected at least in part based on CLI indications shown by reference numeral 545. As shown by reference numeral 555, the BS can send information indicating beam pair selection decisions. For example, the BS can select UL / DL beam pairs for the UE and can signal the selected UL / DL beam pairs to the UE. In some aspects, the BS can select UL / DL beam pairs at least in part based on CLI measurement feedback shown by reference numerals 535 and 540.
[0086] Figure 6Figure 600 illustrates the beam measurement process according to this disclosure. Figure 6 Figure 600 includes a base station 602 and a UE including multiple UE panels (e.g., UE panel 1 604, UE panel 2 606, UE panel 3 608). The base station 602 and the UEs can be configured to select CSI-RS beams at least in part based on a beam measurement procedure (e.g., 610). The beam measurement procedure 610 can allow the UE panels (e.g., 604, 606, 608) to measure the CSI-RS signal from the base station 602 to determine which Rx beam is best on the UE side. This can be at least in part based on the DL signal strength measured at the UE panels, and each Rx beam is associated with a Tx CSI-RS beam at the base station. The beam measurement procedure 610 can allow the base station 602 to send multiple CSI-RS resources to the UE panels to measure the DL channel quality or signal strength on the UE side. The UE can send a CSI-RS report to base station 602, which indicates the top Tx beams at the base station, where each of the top Tx beams is associated with a top Rx beam on the UE side. Based at least in part on channel reciprocity, it can be assumed that the top Rx beams are the top Tx beams at the UE panel. In some aspects, the UE can report the top four Tx beams. However, in some aspects, the UE can report more or fewer than the top four Tx beams. Once the top four Tx beams and their associated top Rx beams at the UE are determined, the UE can perform a SIM. The UE can also report the top four beams, each with an associated panel ID for the UE, allowing the gNB to avoid configuring an in-panel SIM to save resource overhead.
[0087] To perform SIM, the UE can transmit from beam 620 from UE panel 1 604, allowing beams 622, 624, and 626 to measure the amount of energy they receive from the transmission from beam 620. The transmission from beam 620 can be an uplink transmission to base station 602; however, during the uplink transmission from beam 620 to base station 602, some energy may be received at beams on other panels. This energy may be due to sidelobes or at least partially based on the configuration of other panels. Therefore, beams 622, 624, and 626 can measure the amount of self-interference caused by the transmission from beam 620. This process is repeated for all the top four beams indicated in the CSI-RS report. For example, beam 622 can transmit, allowing beams 620, 624, and 626 to measure the amount of self-interference caused by the transmission from beam 622. During the self-interference process and channel measurement process, an indication 636 can be sent to base station 602 in the Layer 1 Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (L1-SINR) report via the actual value or the maximum value plus a differential value of SINR, indicating the UE's top DL and UL beam pairs. The DL and UL beam pairs selected as the top DL and UL beam pairs are beams that have passed a selection threshold. In some aspects, the UE may report that no beams have passed the threshold, resulting in no viable beams and / or beam pairs.
[0088] To perform self-interference, a modified L1-SINR configuration and procedure can be utilized. L1-SINR can include two resource settings. The first resource setting (which can be provided by the higher-layer parameter `resourcesForChannelMeasurement`) is configured to perform channel measurement (CM) via CSI-RS. CM measures channel quality. The second resource setting (which can be provided by the higher-layer parameter `csi-IM-ResourcesForInterference` or the higher-layer parameter `nzp-CSI-RS-ResourcesForInterference`) is configured to perform IM via CSI-RS. The modified L1-SINR can be configured to utilize SRS instead of CSI-RS to perform the IM procedure for SIM purposes. Each CSI-RS resource used for CMR can be associated with one SRS resource used for IMR. The number of CSI-RS resources used for CM can be equal to the number of SRS resources used for IM. CMR can also be reused for the original L1-SINR beam management purpose. Additionally, IMR can be reused for CLI measurement purposes to simultaneously use the same SRS resources used for SIM to measure CLI at neighboring UEs. In some aspects, the IMR configuration can be configured to define either full Tx power or reduced Tx power. For example, the reduced Tx power can be at least partially based on X dBm or X% of the full Tx power. The UE can use this configuration to amplify the calculated SINR accordingly.
[0089] exist Figure 6 Figure 600 provides an example of CM and IM using a modified L1-SINR configuration and procedure. The CM section includes four CMRs 612, 614, 616, and 618, such that base station 602 is configured to transmit CSI-RS to each of the top four Rx beams of the UE. For example, CMR 612 can be transmitted to Rx beam 620 of UE panel 1 604, CMR 614 can be transmitted to Rx beam 622 of UE panel 2 606, CMR 616 can be transmitted to Rx beam 624 of UE panel 3 608, and CMR 618 can be transmitted to Rx beam 626 of UE panel 4 608. The UE can measure the channel quality received at the UE through the corresponding Rx beam. The UE can store the channel quality measurement under the CMR to determine the SINR.
[0090] The IM portion includes the same number or more resources as the CM portion, allowing CMRs to be mapped to corresponding IMRs. For example, each CMR is associated with an IMR used for interference measurement. Each CMR can also be mapped to multiple IMRs for measuring interference to Rx beams that are the same as the CMR but use different beams transmitted from different panels of the UE. The IM portion includes four IMRs 628, 630, 632, and 634 mapped to corresponding CMRs. For example, CMR 612 can be mapped to IMR 628, CMR 614 can be mapped to IMR 630, CMR 616 can be mapped to IMR 632, and CMR 618 can be mapped to IMR 634. The IM portion allows SIM to be performed. To perform SIM, the IMR configures the UE with SRS resources. Each beam (e.g., 620, 622, 624, 626) can be configured to transmit SRS. For example, the UE panel can transmit SRS when transmitting uplink transmissions for SIM. The transmitted SRS can be used to measure the SIM. In some aspects, the UE panel 604 can transmit the SRS at beam 620, allowing beams 622, 624, and 626 to measure the amount of self-interference caused by the transmission from beam 620. This process is repeated for all other beams 622, 624, and 626. For example, beam 622 can transmit a transmission, allowing beams 620, 624, and 626 to measure the amount of self-interference caused by the transmission from beam 622. Upon completion of CM and SIM, the SINR can be determined.
[0091] The mapping between CMR and IMR allows SINR to be calculated, at least in part, based on the results of the CM and IM components. SINR can be determined, at least in part, based on the ratio of CMR to the corresponding IMR, such as... Figure 6 The table is shown.
[0092] Figure 6 The example provides an example of time-division multiplexing (TDM) of CM and IM resources, such that the CM and IM portions occur at different times. In some aspects, DL timing can be used for CM, while UL timing can be used for IM. In such cases, SINR can be calculated at least in part based on the ratio of CM to IM and noise (e.g., CM / (IM+noise)). Based on the calculated SINR, the UE can report the SINR result to base station 602. The SINR result may include a report of the top SINR DL and UL beam pairs.
[0093] As pointed out above, Figure 6 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 6 The example described.
[0094] Figure 7Figure 700 illustrates the CM and IM using a modified L1-SINR configuration and process according to this disclosure. Figure 7 In the example, CM and IM resources are configured in a Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) configuration such that CM and IM occur simultaneously. For example, CMR 614 and IMR 630 are shown in an FDM configuration. Base station 602 can transmit CSI-RS to be received by beam 622 of UE panel 2 606, while beam 620 transmits SRS to be received by beam 622 of UE panel 2 606. The UE can measure the reception of CSI-RS and SRS to determine the SINR of Rx beam 622. In some aspects, the CM and IM processes under the FDM configuration may experience timing misalignment of DL and / or UL reference signals (RS). In some aspects, the UE can use either DL timing or UL timing for both CM and IM processes occurring simultaneously in the FDM configuration. In the aspect utilizing DL timing, the UE can calculate the RSRP of CSI-RS and can calculate the partial RSSI of the interference; then, at least in part, calculate the estimated SINR based on the CM and IM processes.
[0095] In some cases, if the Rx and Tx beams are located on the same panel, the SINR may be uncertain. For example, refer to... Figure 6 For Rx beam 624 and Tx beam 626, the SINR may be uncertain because they are beams on the same panel. However, when configuring SRS resources for the IMR, the base station may not know the panel ID. In such aspects, the base station can be configured to indicate whether the UE should still transmit SRS when the SRS beam and SIM beam are on the same panel. In some aspects, the base station can be configured to indicate whether the UE should still transmit SRS when the SRS is reused for CLI measurements of neighboring UEs.
[0096] In some aspects, the UE can be configured to indicate that one or more specific beam pairs may be infeasible beam pairs, such that the SRS beam and the SIM beam are located on the same panel. In some aspects, the UE can be configured to indicate the existence of one or more infeasible beam pairs to the UE during the SIM configuration phase. In response to receiving an indication of an infeasible beam pair, the base station can update the SIM configuration and skip or block beam measurements within the configuration panel, which may result in wasted resources. In some aspects, if the UE indicates the existence of an infeasible beam pair, the reported value for such a beam pair can be reported as background interference rather than self-interference. In some aspects, for example, for the SIM, the UE can be configured to indicate the beam associated with the panel ID, allowing the base station to avoid or skip configuring the SIM within the panel, which may help reduce and / or save resource overhead.

[0100] In summary, this disclosure relates to improving the manner of flexible TDD operation to allow simultaneous UL / DL transmission in FD communication and FR2. Flexible TDD capability can reside at the base station or the UE, or both. For example, for the UE, UL transmission can originate from one antenna panel, and DL reception can occur in another. FD communication can be conditional on beam separation of the UL and DL beams at the respective antenna panels. Therefore, it is desirable to improve the manner in which the selection of the UL and DL beams for FD communication is performed. Utilizing FD communication can reduce latency, making it possible to receive DL signals in only the UL time slot, thus achieving latency savings. Furthermore, FD communication can improve the spectral efficiency per cell or per UE and can allow for more efficient use of resources.
[0101] Beam separation of UL and DL beams helps limit or reduce self-interference that may occur during FD communication. It is desirable to select UL and DL beams on different antenna panels to minimize self-interference. Determining the separation of UL and DL beams on their respective antenna panels allows for reliable FD communication by selecting beam pairs that minimize or reduce self-interference. Therefore, measuring self-interference at the UE can help determine beam pairs of UL and DL beams that can support FD communication.
[0102] FD UEs can perform sSIM procedures to identify self-interference in transmissions from FD UEs. FD base stations can also perform SIM procedures to identify self-interference in transmissions from FD base stations. TDM for FD communication can be performed using fully overlapping frequency resources. Using fully overlapping frequency resources can facilitate communication with high spectral efficiency, but may lead to spatial leakage due to cross-beam interference.
[0103] Some of the techniques and apparatus described herein provide frequency overlap selection based on a SIM (Signal-Induced Memory) procedure. In some aspects, the UE can perform a SIM procedure corresponding to one or more frequency overlap metrics to determine whether cross-beam interference meets a threshold. The UE can provide a measurement report to the base station indicating the results of the UE SIM, which may include assessments of frequency overlap between UL and DL frequency resources, guard bandwidth between UL and DL frequency resources, etc. By measuring and reporting frequency overlap metrics, various aspects facilitate the base station in selecting frequency overlap metrics that maximize spectral efficiency while minimizing cross-beam interference.
[0104] Typically, for beam management purposes, Layer 1 signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (L1-SINR) measurements can be performed. In these measurements, it is not necessary to specify the quasi-co-location relationship between the CMR and IMR, as only UL or DL beams are used. However, in full-duplex communication, the Rx beam associated with the IMR can use the same Rx beam for a pair of CMRs. In these cases, neglecting the QCL relationship between the paired beams can lead to inaccurate measurements for selecting the beam pair used for communication. This could mean that the selected beam pair provides suboptimal or poor performance at the base station, thus reducing throughput and consuming computational and communication resources.
[0105] Based on various aspects of the technologies and apparatus described herein, a base station can provide a CM configuration for a channel measurement (CM) procedure, which indicates at least one CMR associated with QCL information. In some aspects, the QCL information may correspond to the base station's Tx beam associated with the UE's Rx beam. The base station can also provide an IM configuration for an IM procedure, which indicates at least one IMR associated with a UE beam pair including the UE's Rx beam and the UE's Tx beam. The UE can perform a SIM procedure to determine one or more SIM metrics, at least in part, based on the CM procedure and the IM procedure. By taking into account the relevant QCL information, a more suitable beam pair can be selected, thereby increasing throughput and improving the utilization of computing and communication resources.

In some aspects, the SIM procedure can be associated with the Rx and Tx beams of UE 120. In some aspects, the configuration may include the allocation of CMR associated with the Rx beam, the allocation of IMR associated with the Tx and Rx beams, etc.
[0115] The SIM procedure can be performed using uplink (UL) frequency resources associated with the corresponding downlink (DL) frequency resources. In some aspects, the SIM procedure may correspond to frequency overlap metrics, time alignment between DL and UL frequency resources, etc. In some aspects, the frequency overlap metric may indicate the overlap between DL and UL frequency resources. In some aspects, the frequency overlap metric may indicate the guard bandwidth between DL and UL frequency resources.

[0118] In some aspects, the measurement report may indicate an RSRP measurement or a SINR measurement, wherein the RSRP and SINR measurements are not associated with the SIM process, and leaked RSSI or additional RSRP is associated with additional SIM processes. In some aspects, the measurement report may indicate a quantified RSRP measurement result or a quantified SINR measurement result. In some aspects, a quantified RSRP measurement result or a quantified SINR measurement result may indicate one of several levels. In some aspects, the levels may include low, medium, and high levels.
[0119] In some aspects, the measurement report may indicate an average result over the entire expected DL bandwidth. In some aspects, the frequency overlap metric may correspond to a portion of the expected DL bandwidth. A portion of the expected DL bandwidth may include resource blocks.

[0121] In some aspects, DL frequency resources may partially overlap with UL frequency resources, and the frequency overlap metric may indicate an overlap percentage. The overlap percentage may indicate the ratio of the overlap between the UL bandwidth associated with the UL frequency resource and the expected DL bandwidth associated with the DL frequency resource. In some aspects, frequency overlap may include full frequency overlap, and the frequency overlap metric may indicate 100% overlap. In some aspects, the frequency overlap metric may indicate an overlap percentage greater than 0% and less than 100%.
[0122] In some aspects, SIM may include determining whether cross-beam interference meets a threshold. If the threshold is not met, UE 120 may perform additional SIM procedures associated with the Rx and Tx beams. These additional SIM procedures may correspond to additional frequency overlap measurements between DL and UL frequency resources, time alignment between additional DL and UL frequency resources, etc. In some aspects, any number of additional SIM procedures may be performed using different frequency overlap measurements and / or time alignments until a configuration is identified where cross-beam interference meets the threshold.
[0123] In some aspects, cross-beam interference may not meet the thresholds for all overlap scenarios. Complete frequency separation can be utilized when DL frequency resources do not overlap with UL frequency resources. In some aspects, frequency overlap metrics can indicate the guard bandwidth between the UL bandwidth and the expected DL bandwidth.

In some aspects, the triggering event may include a SIM change that does not meet a threshold, receiving a SIM trigger from base station 110, etc. In some aspects, base station 110 may allocate a feedback channel reserved for measurement reports.
[0125] In some aspects, the measurement report may indicate the maximum frequency overlap bandwidth associated with partial frequency overlap. In some aspects, the measurement report may indicate the minimum guard bandwidth between DL frequency resources and UL frequency resources. In some aspects, the measurement report may be at least partially based on a bandwidth criterion. Base station 110 may configure the bandwidth criterion. In some aspects, the bandwidth criterion may include a cross-beam interference threshold.

Resource allocation may include an indication of a selected frequency relationship between the UL bandwidth and the expected DL bandwidth. In some aspects, the selected frequency relationship may be based at least in part on measurement reports. In some aspects, based at least in part on a determination of a cross-beam interference satisfaction threshold, the selected frequency relationship may correspond to a frequency overlap metric.
[0127] In some aspects, such as Figure 10As shown, resource allocation can indicate the allocation of a first resource 1025 and a second resource 1030 (among any number of other resources) for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, the first resource 1025 may include a UL resource, and the second resource 1030 may include a DL resource.
[0128] The indication of the selected frequency relationship can indicate the relationship between the first resource 1025 and the second resource 1030 in the frequency domain.
