[0002] This patent application claims priority to the following applications: U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 047,502, filed July 2, 2020, entitled “MANAGEMENT OF FREQUENCY RESOURCE INTERFERENCE”; and U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 17 / 304,528, filed June 22, 2021, entitled “MANAGEMENT OF FREQUENCY RESOURCE INTERFERENCE”, which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] Various aspects of this disclosure generally relate to wireless communications, and to techniques and apparatus for managing frequency resource interference. 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 may employ multiple access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of these 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 / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to 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 between 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, Transmitter Receiver 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 (also known as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with a Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase. Summary of the Invention

[0025] 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 specific structure or function given throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided to make this disclosure thorough and complete, and to 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, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or method of practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatus or methods practiced using other structures, functions, or structures and functions that complement or replace the various aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0026] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be presented with reference to various devices and technologies. These devices and technologies will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various boxes, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the system as a whole.

[0027] It should be noted that although the terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) are used in this document to describe the aspects, the aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0028] Figure 1 This 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, etc. Wireless network 100 may include multiple base stations 110 (shown as BS110a, BS110b, BS110c, and BS110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmitter Receiver Point (TRP), etc. Each BS may 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.

[0029] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or other cell types. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a smaller geographic area and can allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a smaller geographic area (e.g., a home) and can allow restricted access for UEs associated with the femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed User Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells can be referred to as a 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 femto BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS110c 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.

[0030] In some respects, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to 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.

[0031] 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 that can relay transmissions used by other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS110d can communicate with macro BS110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be called a relay station, relay base station, relay, etc.

[0032] In some aspects, wireless network 100 may include one or more non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments, wherein the non-terrestrial wireless communication equipment may include BS (which are interchangeably referred to herein as "non-terrestrial BS" and "non-terrestrial base station"), relay stations (which are interchangeably referred to herein as "non-terrestrial relay stations"), etc. As used herein, NTN may refer to a network facilitated by non-terrestrial BS, non-terrestrial relay stations, etc.

[0033] Wireless Network 100 may include any number of non-terrestrial wireless communication devices. These devices may include satellites, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAS) platforms, etc. Satellites may include low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites, highly elliptical orbit (HEO) satellites, etc. UAS platforms may include high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) and may include balloons, airships, aircraft, etc. Non-terrestrial wireless communication devices may be part of an NTN separate from Wireless Network 100. Alternatively, the NTN may be part of Wireless Network 100. Satellites may communicate directly and / or indirectly with other entities in Wireless Network 100 using satellite communications. Other entities may include UEs, one or more other satellites in an NTN deployment, other types of BSs (e.g., fixed or terrestrial BSs), relay stations, one or more components and / or devices included in the core network of Wireless Network 100, etc.

[0034] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) (e.g., 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).

[0035] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a group of base stations (BSs) and provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with the BSs via backhaul. The BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0036] 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 computer, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or apparatus, biometric sensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart bracelet, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bangle, etc.), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device, satellite radio, 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.

[0037] 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 that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes can provide connectivity to or from a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or a cellular network) via wired or wireless communication links. 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 that houses 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, 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.

[0038] 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, frequency 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.

[0039] In some aspects, 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 device). 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, or 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 elsewhere in this document that are performed by base station 110.

[0040] 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), which can span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and / or can communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2), which can span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequency (IF) frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is generally referred to as the "sub-6 GHz" band. Similarly, FR2 is generally referred to as the "millimeter wave" band, although this differs from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as "millimeter wave" by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the terms "sub-6GHz," etc., if used herein, can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the terms "millimeter wave," etc., if used herein, can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25GHz). It is conceivable that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 can be modified, and the techniques described herein can be applied to those modified frequency ranges.

[0041] As mentioned above, providing Figure 1 As an example. Other examples can be related to... Figure 1 The examples described are different.

[0042] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 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 typically T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0043] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data from data source 212 of one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., code and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning 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 signal (CRS) or demodulation reference signal (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 reference symbols, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) 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.

[0044] 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, downconvert, 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 the decoded data of UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide the 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 parameters such as the Received Reference Signal Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Received Reference Signal Quality (RSRQ), and / or CQI. In some aspects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0045] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0046] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays, or may be included in one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element sets and / or non-coplanar antenna element sets. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or antenna elements within multiple housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (e.g., Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0047] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 can be pre-encoded (if applicable) by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by demodulators 252a 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, receiver processor 258, transmitter processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform the functions described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 5-7 The described aspect of any of the methods described.

[0048] 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 the decoded data to data sink 239 and the 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. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule UE 120 for downlink and / or uplink communications. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (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, receiver processor 238, transmitter 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 the functions described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 5-7 (As described) Any aspect of the methods described.

[0049] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with activating a secondary cell group (SCG) using a UE configured for multi-RAT dual connectivity (MR-DC), as described in more detail elsewhere in this document. 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 execute or direct, for example Figure 6 Process 600 Figure 7 The operation of process 700 and / or other processes described herein. Memory 242 and 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, translation, parsing), the one or more instructions may cause one or more processors, UE 120 and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 6 Process 600 Figure 7 The process 700, and / or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, the execution instructions may include: run instructions, conversion instructions, compilation instructions, interpretation instructions, etc.

[0051] In some aspects, a wireless communication device (e.g., base station 110, etc.) may include: a unit for transmitting an indication of an interfered frequency resource set that is interfered with by the interference frequency resource set; and a unit for communicating with a UE using at least one of the following: a bandwidth configuration based at least in part on the interference frequency resource set, a communication process based at least in part on the interference frequency resource set, or a combination thereof; etc. 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, receiver processor 238, controller / processor 240, transmitter processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, etc.

[0052] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are shown as different components, but the functions described above with respect to the boxes can be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280, or performed under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0053] As mentioned above, providing Figure 2 As an example. Other examples can be related to... Figure 2 The examples described are different.

[0054] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating examples 300 and 310 of an NTN deployment. Examples 300 and / or 310 can be, similar to, include, or be included in a wireless network, such as in... Figure 1 The text is a mix of seemingly unrelated fragments and incomplete sentences, making it impossible to translate accurately. It appears to be a collection of snippets from various sources, possibly related to news articles or reports. Figure 1 The wireless network 100 is described.

[0055] Example 300 illustrates a conceptual description of a regenerative satellite deployment. In Example 300, UE 120 is served by satellite 320 via serving link 330. For example, satellite 320 may include BS110 (e.g., BS110a), gNB, one or more functions of BS110 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) filtering, frequency conversion, amplification, demodulation, decoding, handover, routing, encoding, modulation, etc.). Serving link 330 may include an NR-Uu interface terminating at satellite 320. In some aspects, satellite 320 may be referred to as a non-terrestrial base station, a regenerative repeater, an airborne processing repeater, etc. In some aspects, satellite 320 may demodulate uplink RF signals and may modulate baseband signals derived from uplink radio signals to generate downlink RF transmissions. Satellite 320 may transmit downlink RF signals over serving link 330. Satellite 320 may provide cell coverage for UE 120.

[0056] Example 310 illustrates a transparent satellite deployment, which may also be referred to as a bent-tube satellite deployment. In Example 310, UE120 is served by satellite 340 via serving link 330. Satellite 340 may be referred to as a transparent satellite, a bent-tube satellite, a non-terrestrial relay station, etc. Satellite 340 may relay signals received from ground BS110 via NTN gateway 350. The satellite may repeat the NR-Uu interface via feeder link 360. NTN gateway 350 may communicatively connect satellite 340 and BS110 using RF link 370. For example, satellite 340 may receive uplink RF transmissions and may transmit downlink RF transmissions without demodulating the uplink RF transmissions. In some aspects, satellite 340 may convert the uplink RF transmission frequency received on serving link 330 to the downlink RF transmission frequency on feeder link 360, and may amplify and / or filter the uplink RF transmissions. In some respects, the UE 120 shown in Examples 300 and 310 may be associated with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities, Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities, etc., but not all UEs have such capabilities. Satellite 340 can provide and / or facilitate cell coverage for UE 120.

[0057] Service link 330 may include a link between satellite 340 and UE 120, and may include one or more uplinks or downlinks. Feeder link 360 may include a link between satellite 340 and gateway 350, and may include one or more portions of an uplink (e.g., from UE 120 to gateway 350) or a downlink (e.g., from gateway 350 to UE 120).

[0058] Due to the movement of satellites 320 and 340 and the potential movement of UE 120, feeder link 360 and service link 330 may each experience Doppler effects. These Doppler effects may be much larger than those in terrestrial networks. The Doppler effects on feeder link 360 can be compensated for to some extent, but may still be associated with a certain amount of uncompensated frequency error. Furthermore, gateway 350 may be associated with residual frequency errors, and / or satellites 320 / 340 may be associated with airborne frequency errors. These sources of frequency errors may cause the receive downlink frequency at UE 120 to drift from the target downlink frequency.

[0059] As pointed out above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 3 The example described.

[0060] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating example 400 of beam management in an NTN according to this disclosure. As shown, satellite 405 can provide services to UE 120. Satellite 405 may include base station 110 and may be, include, be included in, or be similar to... Figure 3 Satellite 320 shown Figure 3 The satellite shown is 340, etc.

[0061] As indicated by reference numeral 410 in the attached figure, satellite 405 can use multiple antennas to form multiple beams (denoted as "Beam 0", "Beam 1", "...", "Beam 6") that form a beam coverage area on Earth. One or more different frequency intervals can be associated with each beam to mitigate interference between beams, thereby promoting simultaneous transmission and reception capabilities. In some cases, one or more different beams can be associated with frequency intervals. Frequency intervals can be or include bandwidth portions (BWPs). Within each beam, multiple BWPs can be defined to accommodate different UE capabilities, Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, etc. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers within a BWP are typically orthogonal to each other.

[0062] When satellite 405 moves, the beam coverage area moves across the ground. The satellite's moving speed may be as high as, for example, 7 km / s or faster. To mitigate the resulting Doppler shift, satellite 405 may perform frequency pre-compensation. As indicated by reference numeral 415, frequency pre-compensation may target the center 420 of the beam coverage area. However, due to differences in elevation angles (shown as EA1 and EA2) corresponding to adjacent beams, the frequency pre-compensation used for each beam may differ. Furthermore, due to the differences in elevation angles and the motion of satellite 405, subcarriers in one BWP (e.g., the BWP associated with beam 0) may become non-orthogonal to subcarriers in another BWP (e.g., the BWP associated with beam 1). Therefore, when satellite 405 moves, the orthogonality between subcarriers in adjacent BWPs may be compromised, leading to interference between frequency resources. As a result, communication between satellite 405 and UE 120 may be unreliable and may involve increased latency and reduced throughput.

[0063] According to various aspects of the techniques and apparatus described herein, a base station (which may include non-terrestrial base stations, such as satellite, terrestrial base stations, etc.) can identify interfered frequency resources and indicate those frequency resources to the UE. In this way, the UE can communicate with the base station using communication procedures that mitigate the effects of interference. For example, in some aspects, the UE can perform rate matching around the interfered resources, assigning lower priority to bits associated with the interfered resources, and so on. In some aspects, the base station can implicitly indicate interfered resources by configuring a BWP to exclude them. In this way, the aspects can facilitate the management of frequency resource interference, thereby allowing the base station and / or UE to mitigate interference. As a result, the aspects can achieve more reliable communication with reduced latency and increased throughput.

[0064] As mentioned above, providing Figure 4 As an example. Other examples can be related to... Figure 4 The examples described are different.

[0065] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating an example 500 related to frequency resource interference management according to this disclosure. As shown, wireless communication device 505 and UE 120 can communicate with each other. Wireless communication device 505 can be a terrestrial base station, a non-terrestrial base station, a terrestrial relay station, a non-terrestrial relay station, etc., and may include... Figure 3 Satellite 320 shown in the image Figure 3 Satellite 340 shown in the image Figure 4 Satellite 405, etc., are shown in the image.

[0066] As indicated by reference numeral 510 in the accompanying drawings, wireless communication device 505 can determine a set of interfered frequency resources. The interfered frequency resources may include frequency resources interfered with by the set of interfered frequency resources. In some aspects, wireless communication device 505 can determine the set of interfered frequency resources at least in part based on the determination of tolerances corresponding to inter-carrier interference associated with a beam. In some aspects, the inter-carrier interference is at least in part based on QoS requirements.

[0067] As indicated by reference numeral 520 in the accompanying drawings, the wireless communication device 505 can transmit, and the UE 120 can receive, an indication of a set of interfered frequency resources. In some aspects, the indication of a set of interfered frequency resources may indicate partially interfered resource blocks (RBs), fully interfered RBs, interfered subcarriers of partially interfered RBs, etc. In some aspects, the indication may explicitly indicate a set of interfered frequency resources.

[0068] In some aspects, the indication may implicitly indicate the set of interfered frequency resources. For example, in some aspects, the wireless communication device 505 may indicate the set of interfered frequency resources by configuring one or more BWPs to exclude the set of interfered frequency resources. That is, in some aspects, the BWP configuration may be at least partially based on the set of interfered frequency resources (e.g., at least partially based on an indication of the set of interfered frequency resources). In some aspects, the BWP configuration may indicate a configured BWP that excludes at least a portion of the interfered frequency resource set. In some aspects, the configured BWP may exclude subcarriers of fully interfered RBs, partially interfered RBs, etc.

[0069] As indicated by reference numeral 530 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 may communicate with wireless communication device 505 using a communication process at least in part based on a set of interfered frequency resources (e.g., the communication process is at least in part based on an indication of the set of interfered frequency resources). In some aspects, the indication of the set of interfered frequency resources may explicitly indicate the set of interfered frequency resources, and UE 120 may use this information to facilitate the communication process.

[0070] In some aspects, UE 120 may use a communication process to communicate with wireless communication device 505 based at least in part on determining that the modulation scheme to be used for communication with the base station satisfies a condition. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the modulation scheme satisfaction condition based at least in part on the modulation scheme including an order greater than or equal to that of a 64th-order quadrature amplitude modulation scheme.

[0071] In some aspects, UE 120 can communicate with wireless communication device 505 using a communication process by performing rate matching around the set of interfered frequency resources. In some aspects, UE 120 can perform rate matching around the set of interfered frequency resources by performing rate matching around subcarriers of fully interfered RBs, partially interfered RBs, etc.

[0072] In some aspects, UE 120 may communicate with wireless communication device 505 using a communication process by assigning a first reliability level to bits associated with a set of interfered frequency resources, the first reliability level being lower than a second reliability level assigned to bits not associated with the set of interfered frequency resources. In some aspects, UE 120 may assign the first reliability level to at least one of fully interfered RBs, subcarriers of partially interfered RBs, etc.

[0073] In some aspects, UE 120 can assign a first reliability level by scaling the log-likelihood ratio to a factor less than 1. The log-likelihood ratio can correspond to bits associated with the set of interfered frequency resources. In some aspects, UE 120 can use a puncturing process corresponding to bits associated with the set of interfered frequency resources by scaling the log-likelihood ratio to a factor equal to zero.

[0074] The aforementioned technologies enable wireless communication devices to identify interfered frequency resources and indicate those resources to the UE. In this way, the UE can communicate with the wireless communication device using a communication process that mitigates the effects of interference. In some aspects, the wireless communication device can implicitly indicate interfered resources by configuring a BWP to exclude them. In this way, the aspects facilitate the management of frequency resource interference, thereby allowing the wireless communication device and / or UE to mitigate interference. As a result, the aspects can achieve more reliable communication with reduced latency and increased throughput.
