Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The following relates generally to wireless communications, and more specifically to cross-link interference measurements for cell dormancy. BACKGROUND
[0002] Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems can be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the 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, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which can be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems can employ 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 spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communications system can include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communications for multiple communication devices, which can be otherwise known as user equipment (UE).
[0003] In some examples, a UE can operate in a dormancy mode for a secondary cell with which the UE is communicating. When operating in the dormancy mode, the UE can perform power-constrained operations. The power-constrained operations can increase battery life of the UE and can be beneficial to the UE accordingly. However, for the UE, challenges can arise in managing interference when a cell is switched to the dormancy mode. SUMMARY
[0004] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support cross-link interference measurements for dormancy mode. Generally, the described techniques provide methods by which a user equipment (UE) can determine whether and how to measure cross-link interference in a dormancy bandwidth part. For example, the UE can identify a non-dormancy mode configuration for measuring cross-link interference in a non-dormancy mode for a cell. The UE can receive an indication from a base station to switch to a dormancy mode for the cell and can identify a dormancy mode configuration for measuring cross-link interference in the dormancy mode. The UE can measure the cross-link interference in the dormancy mode based on the identified dormancy mode configuration and the reception of the indication to switch to the dormancy mode. The UE can transmit an indication of the measured cross-link interference to the base station.

[0052] A base station and a user equipment (UE) can perform time division duplexing (TDD), where each symbol of each time slot can be one of a downlink symbol, an uplink symbol, or a flexible symbol. A downlink symbol can be used for downlink communication from the base station, an uplink symbol can be used for uplink communication to the base station, and a flexible symbol can be used for either communication. In certain examples, a UE operating in a first cell can interfere with another UE operating in another cell due to the UE operating in the first cell having an uplink or flexible symbol while the other UE operating in the other cell has a downlink or flexible symbol. Such interference can be referred to as cross-link interference (CLI). To mitigate CLI, the victim UE can measure the CLI and can report the measured CLI to a scheduling base station. The UE can measure the CLI on resources associated with a first measurement type (e.g., a CLI received signal strength indicator (RSSI)) or on resources associated with a second measurement type (e.g., a sounding reference signal (SRS) reference signal received power (SRS-RSRP)).
[0053] Additionally, the victim UE can operate in a dormant mode or a non-dormant mode for a cell. In the dormant mode, one or more operations of the victim UE can be limited to enable the victim UE to conserve power. Additionally, in the dormant mode, the victim UE can communicate on a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) that is different from a BWP on which the victim UE communicates in the non-dormant mode.
[0054] The techniques as described herein can enable a UE to consume less power when measuring a CLI while operating in a dormant mode. For example, the victim UE can consume more power when measuring a CLI as a measurement periodicity decreases, as a number of CLI measurement resources increases, as a CLI measurement bandwidth increases, or any combination thereof. Additionally, the victim UE can consume less power when measuring a CLI of a first measurement resource type (e.g., CLI RSSI) as compared to measuring a CLI of a second measurement type (e.g., SRS-RSRP). Accordingly, to enable the victim UE to reduce power consumption when performing CLI measurements in the dormant mode, the victim UE can identify a non-dormant configuration for measuring a CLI in a non-dormant mode and a dormant configuration for measuring a CLI in a dormant mode. The dormant configuration can be associated with an increased measurement periodicity, a decreased number of CLI measurement resources, a decreased CLI measurement bandwidth, a decreased number of CLI resources of a measurement type associated with higher power consumption (e.g., a decreased number of SRS-RSRP resources), an increased number of CLI resources of a measurement type associated with lower power consumption (e.g., an increased number of CLI RSSI resources), or any combination thereof as compared to the non-dormant mode.
[0055] Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of a wireless communications system. Additional aspects of the disclosure are described in the context of additional wireless communications systems, operation mode switching schemes, resource coupling schemes, and process flows. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described in conjunction with apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts related to cross-link interference measurement for a dormant mode.
[0056] Figure 1An example of a wireless communications system 100 that supports cross-link interference measurement for sleep mode is shown according to aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 100 can include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 can be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 can 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.
[0057] The base stations 105 can be dispersed throughout the geographic area to form the wireless communications system 100 and can be of one or more different types as described further below. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 can wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 can provide communication coverage for a respective geographic area 110. UEs 115 and base stations 105 can move into and out of the geographic area 110, creating potential gaps in communication coverage or conflicts between communication links 125. For example, when a UE 115 moves from the geographic area 110 covered by a first base station 105 to the geographic area 110 covered by a second base station 105, communication links 125 between the UE 115 and the base stations 105 can be broken and re-established. UEs 115 can also lose their connection to a first base station 105 and establish a new connection with a second base station 105, for example, as the UE 115 moves between geographic areas 110 covered by different base stations 105.
[0058] The UEs 115 can be dispersed throughout the geographic areas 110 of the wireless communications system 100, and each UE 115 can be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 can be devices in different forms that have different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are shown in Figure 1 FIG. 13. As shown in Figure 1 The UEs 115 described herein can be able to communicate 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) as shown in
[0059] The base stations 105 can communicate with the core network 130 or with one another, or both. For example, the base stations 105 can interface with the core network 130 through one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an SI, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations 105 can communicate with one another directly (e.g., directly at the base stations 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130) through backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface) or both. In some examples, the backhaul links 120 can be or include one or more wireless links.
[0060] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein can include or can be referred to as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or giga-NodeB (either of which can be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology.
[0061] The UEs 115 can include or can be referred to as mobile devices, wireless devices, remote devices, handheld devices, or subscriber devices, or some other suitable terminology, where the “device” can also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. The UEs 115 can also include or can be referred to as personal electronic devices such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, the UEs 115 can 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 communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which can be implemented in various objects such as appliances, vehicles, meters, or instruments, among other examples.
[0062] As shown in Figure 1 FIG. 1, the UEs 115 described herein can be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115 that can sometimes act as relays as well as base stations 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as well as other devices.
[0063] The UEs 115 and the base stations 105 can wirelessly communicate with one another via one or more communication links 125 over one or more carriers. The term “carrier” can refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources with a defined physical layer structure configured to carry physical layer signaling and data for communications links 125. For example, a carrier used for a communications link 125 can include a portion of an operating band (for example, a Bandwidth Part (BWP)) operating according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (for example, LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel can carry acquisition signaling (for example, synchronization signals, system information), control signaling (for example, control channels), user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system 100 can support communication with a UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. According to carrier aggregation, a UE 115 can be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation can be used with frequency-division duplexing (FDD) and time-division duplexing (TDD) component carriers.
[0064] Signal waveforms transmitted over a carrier can be composed of 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 employing MCM techniques, a resource element can consist of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element can depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements that a UE 115 receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rates for the UE 115 can be. A wireless communications resource can refer to a combination of a radio frequency spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers can further increase the data rate for communications with a UE 115.
[0065] Time intervals for the base stations 105 or UEs 115 can be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit, which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of seconds. Time intervals of a communications resource can be expressed in multiples of a Basic Time Unit (BTU), which can, for example, refer to a sampling period of seconds. A subcarrier spacing can be equal to seconds. A discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM) symbol can span
[0066] Each frame can include a plurality of consecutive numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot can have the same duration. In some examples, a frame can be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe can be further divided into a plurality of slots. Alternatively, each frame can include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots can depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each slot can include a plurality of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems 100, a slot can be further divided into a plurality of mini-slots containing one or more symbols. In addition to the cyclic prefix, each symbol period can contain one or more (e.g., sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period can depend on the subcarrier spacing or the frequency band operating at the symbol period.
[0067] A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol can be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system 100 and can 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) can be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system 100 can be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).
[0068] Physical channels can be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel can be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel can be defined by multiple symbol periods and can extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of a carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) can be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 can monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set can include one or more control channel candidates arranged in a cascaded manner in one or more aggregation levels. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate can refer to a number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets can include common search space sets configured for sending control information to multiple UEs 115 and UE-specific search space sets configured for sending control information to a specific UE 115.
[0069] In some examples, a base station 105 can be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving geographic coverage area 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies can overlap, but different geographic coverage areas 110 can be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies can be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communications system 100 can include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.
[0070] Certain UEs 115 can be configured to employ reduced- power operation modes, such as half-duplex communications (e.g., a mode where a UE 115 can receive but not transmit, or vice versa, in a given time slot). In certain examples, a half-duplex communication can be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power conservation techniques for UEs 115 include entering a power-saving deep sleep mode when not engaging in active communications, or operating over a limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communications). For example, certain UEs 115 can be configured for operation using a narrowband protocol type associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., set of subcarriers or resource blocks) within a carrier, within a guardband, or outside an operating band of the carrier.
[0071] Wireless communications system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, wireless communications system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) or mission critical communications. UEs 115 can be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions (e.g., mission critical functions). Ultra-reliable communications can include private communications or group communications and can 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 can include prioritization of services, and mission critical services can be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission critical, and ultra-reliable low- latency can be used interchangeably herein.
[0072] In some examples, UEs 115 can also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 using 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 communications can be within the geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group can be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105 or be otherwise unable to receive transmissions from a base station 105. In some examples, groups of the UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications can utilize a one-to-many (1 :M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to other UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, a base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are carried out between the UEs 115 without the involvement of a base station 105.
[0073] The core network 130 can provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 can be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which can include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity can manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for UEs 115 served by base stations 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets can be transferred through the user plane entity, which can provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity can be connected to the network operators IP services 150. The operators IP services 150 can include access to the Internet, Intranet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service.
[0074] Certain of the network devices, such as base stations 105, can include subcomponents such as an access network entity 140, which can be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 can communicate with UEs 115 through one or more other access network transmission entities 145, which can be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission / reception points (TRPs). Each access network transmission entity 145 can include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 can be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or consolidated into a single network device (e.g., a base station 105).
[0075] The wireless communications system 100 can operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band, since the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves can be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves can penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs 115 located indoors. The transmission of UHF waves may
[0076] The wireless communications system 100 can utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system 100 can employ License 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 unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, base stations 105 and UEs 115 can employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands can be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum can include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples.
[0077] The base stations 105 or UEs 115 can be equipped with multiple antennas, which can be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, or beamforming. The antennas of a base station 105 or a UE 115 can be co-located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which can support MIMO operations or beamforming for transmitting or receiving wireless communications. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays can be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a base station 105 can be located in different geographic locations. A base station 105 can have an antenna array with a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 can use for beamforming communications with UEs 115. Similarly, a UE 115 can have one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations.
[0078] Beamforming, which can also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer a signal in a specific direction, along a spatial path between a transmitting device and a receiving device. Beamforming can be achieved by combining the signals communicated by antenna elements of an antenna array such that certain signals propagating at angles other than the specific direction experience destructive interference while other signals propagating at the specific direction experience constructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated by each of the antenna elements can include amplifying the signals, phase shifting the signals, or both. The adjustment of signals can be done by a transmitting device or a receiving device. The adjustments of signals by a transmitting device or a receiving device can be done in different ways. For example, the adjustments of signals can be done based on channel information, which can be determined through channel estimation.
[0079] The wireless communications system 100 can operate in the presence of other wireless networks, for example, a wireless local area network (WLAN) such as Wi-Fi (i.e., Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11). A Wi-Fi network can include access points (APs) that can communicate with one or more wireless or mobile devices. An AP can be coupled to a network, such as the Internet, and can enable a mobile device to communicate over the network (or communicate with other devices coupled to the access point). A wireless device can communicate with a network device bi-directionally. For example, in a WLAN, a device can communicate to an associated AP via a downlink (e.g., a communication link from the AP to the device) and an uplink (e.g., a communication link from the device to the AP). A wireless personal area network (PAN), which can include a Bluetooth connection, can provide short-range wireless connectivity between two or more paired wireless devices. For example, a wireless device, such as a cellular telephone, can exchange information with a wireless headset using a wireless PAN communication, such as audio signals.
[0080] Generally, the described techniques provide methods by which a UE 115 can determine whether and how to measure cross-link interference while in a dormant mode for a cell. For example, a UE 115 can identify a first configuration to measure cross-link interference in a first operational mode (e.g., a non-dormant mode) for a cell. The UE 115 can receive an indication from a base station 105 to switch to a second operational mode (e.g., a dormant mode) for the cell and can identify a second configuration to measure cross-link interference in the second operational mode. The UE 115 can measure cross-link interference in the second operational mode based on the identified second configuration and the reception of the indication to switch to the second operational mode. The UE 115 can transmit an indication of the measured cross-link interference to the base station 105.
[0081] Figure 2 FIGURE 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system that supports cross-link interference measurement for dormant mode in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, wireless communications system 100 can implement aspects of wireless communications system 200. For example, UEs 115-a and 115-b can be examples of UEs 115 as described with reference to Figure 1 FIGURE 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system that supports cross-link interference measurement for dormant mode in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, wireless communications system 200 can implement aspects of wireless communications system 100. For example, UEs 115-a and 115-b can be examples of UEs 115 as described with reference to Figure 1 FIGURE 1, and base stations 105-a and 105-b can be examples of base stations 105 as described with reference to
[0082] UEs 115-a and 115-b can each have a respective format, such as a TDD uplink-downlink slot format 205. For example, UE 115-a can have an associated slot format 205-a, and UE 115-b can have an associated slot format 205-b. Each slot format 205 can configure a type for one or more symbols. For example, a slot format 205 can configure a symbol as a downlink symbol 210, a flexible symbol 215, or an uplink symbol 220. A downlink symbol 210 can be used for downlink communications (e.g., receiving transmissions 223 from a base station), an uplink symbol 220 can be used for uplink communications (e.g., transmitting transmissions 224 to a base station), and a flexible symbol 215 can be used for either type of communication. In some examples, each slot can span one or more symbols, and in some examples, can have a uniform length (e.g., each slot can span the same number of symbols).
[0083] In certain examples, the slot formats 205 of the UEs 115-a and 115-b can be different (e.g., one or more symbols of the slot format 205-a can be configured to have a different type than one or more symbols of the slot format 205-b, such as corresponding overlapping symbols). For example, the uplink symbols 220 of the slot format 205-b can overlap with the downlink symbols 210 of the slot format 205-a. In certain examples, the uplink symbols 220-a and 220-b of the slot format 205-b can overlap with the downlink symbols 210-a and 210-b, respectively, of the slot format 205-a. In such cases, a transmission 224 (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble, or an SRS) sent by the UE 115-b in at least one of the uplink symbols 220-a or 220-b can cause interference 225 with the UE 115-a while the UE 115-a is receiving the transmission 223 from the base station 105-a. In such scenarios, the UE 115-a can be referred to as a victim UE 115, the UE 115-b can be referred to as an aggressor UE 115, and the interference 225 can be referred to as CLI.
[0084] In certain examples, a network (e.g., base station 105-a) can configure measurements of a CLI at a victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) using a measurement type to facilitate CLI management. Examples of measurement metrics can include a CLI received signal strength indicator (RSSI) or a CLI sounding reference signal (SRS) reference signal received power (RSRP), among other examples. In cases where the measurement type includes a CLI RSSI, an aggressor UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-b) can transmit a SRS to the base station 105-b that can be measured by the victim UE (e.g., UE 115-a). If the network (e.g., base station 105-a) configures the CLI, for example, via semi-static control signaling (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) signaling), the CLI measurements can be periodic. If the network (e.g., base station 105-a) configures the CLI, for example, via dynamic control signaling (e.g., downlink control information (DCI)), the CLI measurements can be semi-persistent or aperiodic. The victim UE 115 can perform CLI measurements on one or more CLI measurement resources and can report the results to the base station 105-a (e.g., via RRC signaling). If the one or more CLI measurement resources are resources configured for measuring SRS-RSRP, the UE 115-a can receive a SRS from the aggressor UE and measure the RSRP of the received SRS on the one or more resources. Additionally, if the CLI measurement resources are resources configured for measuring a CLI RSSI, the UE 115-a can measure the RSSI on the one or more resources. The measurement resource configuration can be provided in a measurement object (MO) provided by the base station 105-a. The measurement resource configuration can include a periodicity, one or more frequency resource blocks (RBs), and OFDM symbols in which to measure the CLI.
[0085] Figure 3 FIG. 13 illustrates an example of a resource allocation scheme 1300 that supports cross-link interference measurement for sleep mode in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, resource allocation scheme 1300 is implemented by one or more aspects of wireless communication system 100 and / or 200. For example, resource allocation scheme 1300 can represent a scheme that demonstrates how a victim UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a in FIG. 1) switches from operating in a first BWP to operating in a second BWP. Figure 2
[0086] In certain examples, a UE 115 (e.g., UE 115-a) can operate in one mode of operation referred to as a dormant mode or another mode of operation referred to as a non-dormant mode. UE behavior in the dormant mode can be referred to or defined as “dormant” or “dormant-like” behavior, and UE behavior in the non-dormant mode can be referred to or defined as “normal,” “non-dormant,” or “non-dormant-like” behavior. When a UE 115 is in the non-dormant mode, one or more secondary cells with which the UE 115 communicates can be configured to perform normal communications with the UE 115 (e.g., the UE performs normal activities on the cells). However, as described herein, when the UE 115 is in the dormant mode for a cell, the UE 115 can be configured to perform reduced or simplified communications via the cell. Accordingly, the UE 115 can enter a low activity mode and can have reduced power consumption accordingly.
[0087] In certain examples, a UE 115 can operate in a particular BWP based on a mode of operation of the UE 115. For example, if the UE 115 is in the non-dormant mode, the UE 115 can operate on the non-dormant BWP 305, and if the UE 115 is in the dormant mode, the UE 115 can operate on the dormant BWP 310. When operating in the dormant BWP 310, the UE 115 can have reduced activity compared to when operating in the non-dormant BWP 305. Additionally, the bandwidth can be smaller in the dormant BWP 310 (e.g., because wideband operation can not be performed in the dormant BWP 310). Additionally, the UE 115 can not transmit uplink data (e.g., via PUSCH) or uplink control information (e.g., via PUCCH) and can not receive data (e.g., via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)) when configured for the dormant BWP 310. In the dormant mode, the UE 115 can not receive downlink control information (e.g., via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)). When configured for the dormant BWP 305, the UE 115 can transmit periodic transmissions of SRS or perform periodic measurements of channel state information (CSI) with a longer periodicity than exists when the UE 115 is operating in the non-dormant BWP 310. In certain examples, the UE 115 can determine to sleep between periods for transmitting and / or receiving, which can enable the UE 115 to conserve power. The UE 115 can have normal activities when configured for the non-dormant BWP 305, which can be larger and thus can enable a larger data transmission rate. The attributes of the non-dormant BWP 305 and the dormant BWP 310 can be configured by a base station 105 (e.g., base station 105-a).
[0088] In certain examples, the UE 115 can receive an indication from the base station 105 to switch from one mode of operation to another mode of operation. For example, the UE 115 can receive a DCI at 315 via a PDCCH that indicates the UE 115 is to switch from the non-dormant BWP 305-a to the dormant BWP 310. Similarly, the UE 115 can receive a DCI at 320 via a PDCCH that indicates the UE 115 is to switch from the dormant BWP 310 to the non-dormant BWP 305-b. Performing such a switch can enable a switch between regular behavior (e.g., a “dormant-like” behavior when configured for the non-dormant BWP 305) and dormant behavior (e.g., a “non-dormant-like” behavior when configured for the dormant BWP 310).
[0089] Performing CLI measurements can consume more power as the measurement periodicity decreases and / or the number of measurement resources increases. For example, the maximum number of SRS-RSRP and CLI RSSI resources can be large enough to enable increased power consumption (e.g., 32 for SRS-RSRP resources and 64 for CLI RSSI resources). Additionally, the minimum periodicity associated with the SRS-RSRP and CLI RSSI resources can be low enough to significantly increase power consumption (e.g., 10 slots for CLI RSSI measurements and 1 slot for SRS-RSRP measurements per resource). Accordingly, performing SRS-RSRP measurements can involve using more power per resource scale than CLI RSSI. Generally, the UE 115 can operate in the dormant BWP 310 to save more power than when operating in the non-dormant BWP 305. To enable the UE 115 to save additional power, techniques as described herein can correspond to a method by which the UE 115 can measure a CLI while consuming less power when operating in the dormant BWP 310.
[0090] To enable the UE 115 to measure the CLI while operating in the dormant BWP 310 while consuming less power, the UE 115 can identify a non-dormant configuration for measuring the CLI in a non-dormant mode for the cell (e.g., a first measurement resource configuration provided via the MO) and a dormant configuration for measuring the CLI in a dormant power for the cell (e.g., a second measurement resource configuration provided via the MO). When the UE 115 is in the non-dormant mode, the UE 115 can measure the CLI on the non-dormant BWP 305 using the non-dormant configuration, and when the UE 115 is in the dormant mode, the UE can measure the CLI on the dormant BWP 310 using the dormant configuration. In certain examples, the UE 115 can determine that the dormant configuration is associated with one or more resources of a first CLI measurement type and is not associated with one or more resources of a second CLI measurement type. For example, the UE 115 can determine that the UE 115 supports both CLI RSSI and SRS-RSRP in the non-dormant mode, but can determine to select only the CLI RSSI resources when configured in the dormant mode. Since the method of measuring SRS-RSRP is more complex (e.g., has higher complexity or takes longer to complete) than measuring CLI RSSI, the UE 115 can determine to select only the CLI RSSI resources.
[0091] After performing the measurements on the dormant BWP 310 or the non-dormant BWP 305 using the dormant configuration or the non-dormant configuration, respectively, the UE 115 can transmit an indication of the measured CLI to the base station 105.
[0092] In certain examples, the UE 115 can transmit signaling to the base station 105 indicating a capability of the UE 115 to measure CLI in a non-dormant mode, which can be referred to as a capability report. For example, the non-dormant mode capability can indicate whether the UE 115 supports a first CLI measurement type (e.g., CLI RSSI), a second measurement type (e.g., SRS-RSRP), or both when operating in the non-dormant mode. Additionally or alternatively, the non-dormant mode capability can indicate a maximum number of resources configured for the first CLI measurement type, a maximum number of resources configured for the second CLI measurement type, or both in the non-dormant mode. The maximum number of resources can be defined as a number of resources across slots or a number of resources in a slot. The capability can apply to each non-dormant BWP 305-a and 305-b, where the UE 115 can not exhibit dormancy behavior (e.g., the capability can not apply to the dormant BWP 310). In certain such cases, the UE 115 can not support CLI measurements that fully comply with the capability report when the UE 115 operates in the dormant BWP 310. Instead, the UE 115 can support a relaxed capability for CLI measurements, which can enable the UE 115 to conserve power when operating within the dormant BWP 310.
[0093] Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 can report separate capability signaling to the base station 105 for measuring CLI in the dormant BWP 310. For example, the UE 115 can transmit signaling to the base station 105 indicating a capability of the UE 115 to measure CLI in a dormant mode. The dormant mode capability can indicate whether the UE 115 supports a first CLI measurement type (e.g., CLI RSSI), a second measurement type (e.g., SRS-RSRP), or both when operating in the dormant mode. Additionally or alternatively, the dormant mode capability can indicate a maximum number of resources configured for the first CLI measurement type, a maximum number of resources configured for the second CLI measurement type, or both in the dormant mode. The dormant mode capability and the non-dormant mode capability can be transmitted in the same or separate signaling. In the dormant BWP 310, the UE 115 can support a lower number of measurement resources for each measurement type (e.g., CLI RSSI, SRS-RSRP) or less frequent measurements (e.g., a larger minimum periodicity) compared to the non-dormant BWP 305. Additionally, the UE 115 can support one of the two measurement types in the dormant BWP 310, while the non-dormant BWP 305 can support both measurement types. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 can report not supporting CLI measurements in the dormant BWP 310.
[0094] In certain examples, UE CLI measurement behavior in the dormant BWP 310 can be preconfigured. In such cases, if the UE 115 indicates support for performing CLI measurements in the dormant BWP 310 (e.g., by providing a capability report for the dormant BWP 310 as described herein), the UE 115 can perform the preconfigured UE CLI measurement behavior when configured for the dormant BWP 310. Generally, the preconfigured UE CLI measurement behavior in the dormant BWP 310 can include one or more CLI measurement relaxations (e.g., relaxed timelines) relative to the non-dormant BWP 305.
[0095] In certain examples, the UE 115 can identify a reduced maximum number of resources for measuring a CLI in the dormant mode as compared to the non-dormant mode (e.g., relative to UE capabilities). The maximum number of resources can be defined as a number of resources across slots or a number of resources in a slot. For example, the UE 115 can identify a first maximum number of resources for measuring a CLI in the non-dormant mode and a second maximum number of resources for measuring a CLI in the dormant mode, where the second maximum number is less than the first maximum number. In one example, the maximum number of resources configured at the UE 115 can be reduced. For example, the UE 115 can receive an indication of the second maximum number of resources from the base station 105. Additionally or alternatively, the maximum number of resources that the UE 115 can use to measure a CLI can be reduced. For example, the UE 115 can determine the second maximum number of resources such that the second maximum number of resources is less than a total number of resources in a set of resources for measuring a CLI in the non-dormant mode. When the number of configured resources exceeds the reduced maximum number, the UE 115 can measure a number of resources equal to the reduced maximum number. For example, to determine the dormant configuration, the UE 115 can select a subset of the set of resources based on the determined second maximum number of resources. In certain examples, the maximum number of resources can be defined separately for resources of a first measurement type (e.g., CLI RSSI) and resources of a second measurement type (e.g., SRS-RSRP). The maximum number of resources can be defined as a number of resources per slot or a total number of resources across slots.
[0096] In certain examples, the UE 115 can identify an increased shortest or minimum periodicity for CLI measurements. For example, the UE 115 can identify a first minimum periodicity for measuring a CLI in a non-dormant mode and a second minimum periodicity for measuring a CLI in a dormant mode, where the second minimum periodicity is greater than the first minimum periodicity. In one example, the shortest or minimum periodicity of resources configured at the UE 115 can be increased. For example, the UE 115 can receive an indication of the second minimum periodicity from the base station 105. Additionally or alternatively, the shortest or minimum periodicity of resources that the UE 115 can use to measure a CLI can be increased. For example, the UE 115 can determine the second minimum periodicity without receiving an explicit indication from the base station 105. The UE 115 can measure resources having the shortest or minimum periodicity when the periodicity of the configured resources is lower than the shortest or minimum periodicity that the UE 115 is to handle in the dormant BWP 310. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 can not measure a CLI if the periodicity of the configured resources is lower than the shortest or minimum periodicity for the dormant mode. In yet another example, the UE 115 can determine that the minimum periodicity for measuring a CLI in the dormant mode is higher than a threshold periodicity (e.g., 100 ms). In certain examples, the shortest or minimum periodicity of resources can be defined separately for CLI RSSI resources and SRS resources.
[0097] In certain examples, the UE 115 can determine whether to measure on a CLI resource in the dormant BWP 310 based on whether the CLI is within a threshold time from another uplink or downlink resource. For example, the UE 115 can measure a CLI in a CLI resource if the CLI resource is within a threshold time or within a duration relative to a downlink resource (e.g., a CSI measurement resource) or an uplink resource (e.g., a resource for transmitting an SRS). However, the UE 115 can refrain from measuring a CLI in a CLI resource if the CLI resource is outside of the threshold time or outside of the duration relative to the downlink resource or the uplink resource. The threshold time or duration can be determined based on a capability of the UE 115 as described herein or based on a network configuration received from the base station 105. Alternatively, the base station 105 can indicate a network configuration that is configured such that each CLI resource is within the threshold time or duration. In such cases, the UE 115 can measure a CLI in the resources indicated in the network configuration without first performing a determination. In either case, the UE 115 can not only be woken up to measure a CLI, but can also be woken up for transmission or reception of other resources. Accordingly, the UE 115 can conserve power. Examples of one or more of these techniques can be found herein, for example, with reference to Figure 4A ,Figure 4B and Figure 4C are described.
[0098] The bandwidth of the CLI measurement can have an impact on power consumption. For example, the larger the bandwidth, the higher the power consumption for measuring the CLI. To mitigate such higher power consumption, in the dormant BWP 310, the UE 115 can reduce the supported measurement resource bandwidth for CLI RSSI and SRS resources. In one example, the base station 105 can transmit a network configuration indicating the reduced measurement resource bandwidth. Alternatively, the base station 105 can configure the base station 105 with a measurement bandwidth scaling factor. For example, the UE 115 can receive an indication of the measurement bandwidth scaling factor from the base station 105. The UE 115 can apply the scaling factor (e.g., with a value less than 1) in the dormancy, such that the measurement bandwidth is reduced. For example, the UE 115 can use the measurement bandwidth scaling factor to determine a reduced bandwidth for measuring the CLI associated with the dormancy configuration. In certain examples, the restriction that the CLI SRS is only measured by the UE 115 when the bandwidth of the BWP completely contains the CLI SRS can be relaxed in the dormant BWP 310 when the CLI measurement bandwidth is reduced. Accordingly, the UE 115 can measure the SRS in the dormant BWP even if the dormant BWP 310 is narrower than the SRS resource. In certain examples, the CLI RSSI and SRS resources can be configured across BWP (e.g., across the dormant BWP 310 and the non-dormant BWP 305).
[0099] Performing methods as described herein can have one or more advantages. For example, the UE 115 can achieve greater power savings in the dormant mode by using a dormancy configuration, which can involve the UE 115 measuring the CLI over fewer resources, measuring the CLI with longer periodicity, measuring only the CLI RSSI resource, measuring the CLI over a reduced bandwidth, or any combination thereof. Additionally, by determining whether to measure the CLI based on the proximity of the CLI resource to other resources, the UE 115 can be woken up for a lesser amount of time, which can also achieve power consumption.
[0100] Figure 4A , 4B and 4C illustrate examples of resource coupling schemes 400-a, 400-b, and 400-c that support cross-link interference measurement for a dormant mode in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In certain examples, the resource coupling schemes 400-a, 400-b, and 400-c can implement aspects of the wireless communications system 100. For example, the resource coupling schemes 400-a, 400-b, and 400-c can represent schemes that demonstrate how a UE 115 determines whether to measure a CLI on a scheduled or configured CLI measurement resource, as described with reference to FIGs. 1-3. Figure 1
[0101] In certain examples, the UE 115 can determine whether to make measurements in the dormant BWP, on the CLI resources 410, based on whether the CLI is within a threshold time 415 from the communication resources 405. For example, if the CLI resources are within the threshold time 415 from the communication resources 405 (e.g., CSI measurement resources or resources used to transmit SRS) or within a duration relative to the communication resources 405, the UE 115 can measure the CLI within the CLI resources 410. However, if the CLI resources 410 are outside the threshold time 415 from the communication resources 405, the UE 115 can refrain from measuring the CLI within the CLI resources.
[0102] For example, as Figure 4A demonstrated, the CLI resources 410-a can be within the threshold time 415-a of the communication resources 405-a. Accordingly, the UE 115 can measure the CLI on the CLI resources 410-a. However, as Figure 4B demonstrated, the CLI resources 410-b and 410-c can not be within the threshold time 415-b of the communication resources 405-b. Accordingly, the UE 115 can refrain from measuring the CLI on the CLI resources 410-b and 410-c. As Figure 4C demonstrated, the CLI resources 410-d can be within the threshold time 415-c of the communication resources 405-c. However, the CLI resources 410-e can not be within the threshold time 415 of the communication resources 405-c. Accordingly, the UE 115 can measure the CLI on the CLI resources 410-d, but can not measure the CLI on the CLI resources 410-e.
[0103] Figure 5 FIG. illustrates an example of a process flow 500 that supports cross-link interference measurement for dormancy mode in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In certain examples, process flow 500 can implement aspects of wireless communications system 100. For example, UE 115-c can be an example of a UE 115 as described with reference to Figure 1 FIG. 1, and base station 105-c can be an example of a base station 105 as described with reference to Figure 1 FIG. 1.
[0104] At 505, the UE 115-c can transmit signaling indicating a first capability of the UE 115-c to measure a CLI in a first operational mode (e.g., a non-dormant mode). The base station 105-c can receive the signaling. The first capability can indicate whether the UE 115-c supports a first CLI measurement type (e.g., CLI RSSI), a second CLI measurement type (e.g., SRS-RSRP), or both in the first operational mode. The first capability can indicate a maximum number of resources configured for the first CLI measurement type, a maximum number of resources configured for the second CLI measurement type, or both in the first operational mode. In certain examples, the first operational mode can be associated with a first BWP. The signaling can be transmitted via a transmitter of the UE 115-c and received via a receiver of the base station 105-c.
[0105] At 510, the UE 115-c can transmit second signaling indicating a second capability of the UE 115-c to measure a CLI in a second operational mode (e.g., a dormant mode). The base station 105-c can receive the second signaling. The second capability can indicate whether the UE 115-c supports the first CLI measurement type (e.g., CLI RSSI), the second CLI measurement type (e.g., SRS-RSRP), or both in the second operational mode. The second capability can indicate a maximum number of resources configured for the first CLI measurement type, a maximum number of resources configured for the second CLI measurement type, or both in the second operational mode. In certain examples, the second operational mode can be associated with a second BWP. The second signaling can be transmitted via a transmitter of the UE 115-c and received via a receiver of the base station 105-c.
[0106] At 515, the base station 105-c can transmit an indication of a maximum number of resources for measuring a CLI in the second operational mode. The UE 115-c can receive the indication of the maximum number of resources in the second operational mode. In certain examples, the UE 115-c can identify a maximum number of resources for measuring a CLI in the first operational mode. In such cases, the maximum number of resources in the second operational mode can be less than the maximum number of resources in the first operational mode based on the maximum number of resources in the second operational mode being associated with the second operational mode. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-c can identify a set of resources for measuring a CLI in the first operational mode; determine a maximum number of resources for measuring a CLI in the second operational mode, where the maximum number is less than a total number of resources in the set of resources; and can select a subset of the set of resources based on the determined maximum number of resources. The indication of the maximum number of resources for measuring a CLI in the second operational mode can be transmitted via a transmitter of the UE 115-c and received via a receiver of the base station 105-c.
[0107] At 520, the base station 105-c can transmit an indication of a minimum periodicity associated with the second mode of operation. The UE 115-c can receive the indication of the minimum periodicity in the second mode of operation. In certain examples, the UE 115-c can identify the minimum periodicity for measuring the CLI in the first mode of operation. In such cases, the minimum periodicity in the second mode of operation can be greater than the minimum periodicity in the first mode of operation based on the minimum periodicity in the second mode of operation being associated with the second mode of operation. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-c can identify a first minimum periodicity for measuring the CLI in the first mode of operation and can determine a second minimum periodicity for measuring the CLI in the second mode of operation, where the second minimum periodicity is greater than the first minimum periodicity. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-c can determine that the minimum periodicity for measuring the CLI in the first mode of operation is above a threshold periodicity. The indication of the minimum periodicity for measuring the CLI in the second mode of operation can be transmitted via a transmitter of the UE 115-c and received via a receiver of the base station 105-c.
[0108] At 525, the base station 105-c can transmit an indication of a measurement bandwidth scaling factor. The UE 115-c can receive the indication of the measurement bandwidth scaling factor. The UE 115-c can identify the measurement bandwidth scaling factor in accordance with the received indication. The indication of the measurement bandwidth scaling factor can be transmitted via a transmitter of the UE 115-c and received via a receiver of the base station 105-c.
[0109] At 530, the UE 115-c can identify a first configuration for measuring the CLI in the first mode of operation. In certain examples, identifying the first configuration is based on the first capability (e.g., received at 505). The first configuration can include a measurement resource configuration as described with reference to Figure 2 The UE 115-c can identify the first configuration using a controller or processor.
[0110] At 535, the base station 105-c can transmit an indication to switch to the second mode of operation for the cell. The UE 115-c can receive the indication to switch. The indication to switch can be provided via a DCI message. The base station 105-c can transmit the indication to switch via a transmitter and the UE 115-c can receive the indication to switch via a receiver.
[0111] At 540, UE 115-c can identify a second configuration (e.g., a second set of resources, a second maximum number of resources, a second minimum periodicity) for measuring a CLI in the second mode of operation. In certain cases, UE 115-c can determine a reduced bandwidth associated with the second for measuring the CLI based on the indication of the measurement bandwidth scaling factor. In certain examples, the second configuration is based on the second capability (e.g., received at 510). In certain examples, the second configuration can be associated with one or more resources of a first CLI measurement type (e.g., CLI RSSI) and not associated with any resources of a second CLI measurement type (e.g., SRS-RSRP). In certain examples, identifying the second configuration can be based on selecting a subset of the set of resources for measuring the CLI in the first mode of operation. UE 115-c can identify the second configuration using a controller or processor.
[0112] At 545, UE 115-c can measure the CLI in the second mode of operation based on the identified second configuration and receiving the indication to switch to the second mode of operation. In certain examples, measuring the CLI in the second mode of operation can be based on the maximum number of resources in the second mode of operation (e.g., transmitted at 515), the minimum periodicity in the second mode of operation (e.g., transmitted at 520), or both. In certain examples, measuring the CLI in the second mode of operation is based on the minimum periodicity in the second mode of operation being above a threshold periodicity. In certain examples, measuring the CLI is based on a reduced bandwidth determined according to the measurement bandwidth scaling factor (e.g., received at 525). UE 115-c can measure the CLI using a receiver.
[0113] In certain examples, the CLI is measured on a first resource. In such cases, UE 115-c can determine that the first resource is within a threshold time relative to a second resource used to receive a downlink transmission (e.g., a CSI-RS measurement resource) or a second resource used to transmit an uplink transmission (e.g., a resource used to transmit an SRS). In such cases, UE 115-c can measure the CLI on the first resource based on the first resource being within the threshold time. Additionally, UE 115-c can determine that a third resource is outside of the threshold time relative to the second resource. In such cases, UE 115-c can refrain from measuring the CLI on the third resource based on the third resource being outside of the threshold time.
[0114] At 550, the UE 115-c can transmit an indication of the measured CLI (e.g., a CLI report). The base station 105-c can receive the indication of the measured CLI. In certain examples, the base station 105-c can use the indication of the measured CLI to perform scheduling. The UE 115-c can transmit the indication of the measured CLI via a transmitter and the base station 105-c can receive the indication of the measured CLI via a receiver.
