Technical Field

[0003] The following generally relates to wireless communication, and in particular to the handling of interference that is not available for cross-link interference measurement. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, message sending and receiving, broadcasting, and so on. These systems can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth-generation (4G) systems (such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-A Advanced (LTE-A), or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth-generation (5G) systems, which may be referred to as NR systems. These systems can employ various technologies, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), or Discrete Fourier Transform Extended Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each supporting communication from multiple communication devices simultaneously, which may also be referred to as User Equipment (UE). Carriers can be configured to operate according to Time Division Duplex (TDD), and various UEs can operate using the same or different TDD configurations.

Generally, the described technology provides measurement, filtering, and reporting of CLI in situations where not all attacker user equipment (UE) is transmitting signals measurable by a victim UE. The UE obtains a CLI measurement set by performing CLI measurements during a CLI measurement timing set. The UE can determine a first subset of the CLI measurement set that satisfies a CLI measurement threshold and a second subset of the CLI measurement set that does not satisfy the CLI measurement threshold. The UE can apply a filter to the first subset of the CLI measurement set and suppress the filter for the second subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain filtered CLI measurements. The UE can transmit the filtered CLI measurements to a base station (e.g., in a CLI measurement report). The base station can receive the CLI measurement report and can schedule communications with the UE and any other UEs (e.g., other victim UEs, other attacker UEs, etc.) based on the CLI measurement report.

[0045] Detailed description

[0046] In some examples of wireless communication systems, a User Equipment (UE) can cause Cross-Link Interference (CLI) to another UE. A base station can configure CLI measurement resources for measuring CLI, and the victim UE can perform CLI measurements during CLI measurement resource periods (e.g., during one or more CLI measurement opportunities). During a CLI measurement opportunity, the attacking UE can transmit uplink transmissions (e.g., probe reference signals (SRS)) and the victim UE can measure the strength of the CLI during that resource period. However, an attacking UE configured to transmit signals for CLI measurements might be in a sleep mode with discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles during one or more CLI measurement opportunities, or might be unable to obtain access to unlicensed spectrum during one or more CLI measurement opportunities. In such cases, the attacking UE might not transmit anything during the CLI measurement opportunity, resulting in no content for the victim UE to measure. In such cases, the CLI measurements filtered and reported by the victim UE may be inaccurate due to the lack of CLI measurements.

[0047] Based on the aspects described herein, the victim UE can identify when one or more attacker UEs do not transmit any CLI measurements during this period, and can filter CLI measurements accordingly. For example, the victim UE can identify a threshold CLI measurement value and can discard any CLI measurement that does not meet that threshold. That is, the victim UE can suppress the updating of filtered CLI measurements based on determining that a CLI measurement is below a threshold CLI measurement value. In some examples, the weighted coefficient value can be adjusted based on how many CLI measurements have been discarded or how much time has elapsed since the last CLI measurement that met the threshold CLI measurement value. A counter can be defined to identify the number of CLI measurements that do not meet the threshold since a previous CLI measurement actually met the threshold. In some cases, if the counter reaches the threshold, the UE can transmit a measurement result value indicating that no CLI detection occurred. In such cases, the UE can subsequently set the weighted coefficient value to equal 1 for the next CLI measurement that does indeed meet the CLI measurement threshold. In some examples, the UE can initiate a first counter for CLI measurements that meet the CLI measurement threshold and a second counter for CLI measurements that do not meet the CLI measurement threshold. In some examples, the UE may transmit filtered CLI measurements and indications of: a first counter value of a first counter, a second counter value of a second counter, both, or the relationship between the two counter values ​​(e.g., a ratio). Such counter values ​​may reflect the frequency with which physical measurement results meet CLI measurement thresholds.

[0048] The aspects of this disclosure are initially described in the context of a wireless communication system. The aspects of this disclosure are further explained and described with reference to timelines and process flows. The aspects of this disclosure are further explained and described by means of, and with reference to, apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts relating to the handling of interference not present for CLI measurements.

[0049] Figure 1 Examples of a wireless communication system 100 that handles interference not present for CLI measurements, supported by various aspects of this disclosure, are described. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an Advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communication, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communication, low latency communication, communication with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0050] Base station 105 can be distributed across a geographical area to form wireless communication system 100, and can be different types of devices or devices with different capabilities. Base station 105 and UE 115 can communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 can provide a coverage area 110, and UE 115 and base station 105 can establish one or more communication links 125 on the coverage area 110. Coverage area 110 can be an example of a geographical area over which base station 105 and UE 115 can support signal communication according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0051] Each UE 115 can be distributed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 can be stationary or mobile, or stationary and mobile at different times. Each UE 115 can be a different type of device or a device with different capabilities. Figure 1 The document describes some example UE 115s. The UE 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UE 115s, base station 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay equipment, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment). Figure 1 As shown in the image.

[0052] Each base station 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or with each other, or both. For example, base station 105 may interface with the core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interfaces). Base stations 105 may communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105), indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130), or directly and indirectly on backhaul links 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interfaces). In some examples, backhaul link 120 may be or include one or more radio links.

[0053] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include, or may be referred to by those skilled in the art as, base transceiver station, radio base station, access point, radio transceiver, B node, evolved B node (eNB), next-generation B node or gigabit B node (any of which may be referred to as gNB), home B node, home evolved B node, or other suitable terms.

[0054] UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or any other suitable term, wherein the device may also be referred to as a cell, station, terminal, or client, etc. UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, Internet of Things (IoT) device, Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or machine-type communication (MTC) device, which can be implemented in various objects such as appliances or vehicles, instruments, etc.

[0055] The UE 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115 that sometimes act as relays, as well as base station 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 As shown in the image.

[0056] UE 115 and base station 105 can wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 on one or more carriers. The term "carrier" can refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting communication link 125. For example, a carrier for communication link 125 may include a portion of the radio spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) operating according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling coordinating carrier operation, user data, or other signaling. Wireless communication system 100 may support communication with UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. UE 115 may be configured to have multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used in conjunction with both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0057] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), the carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling to coordinate the operation of other carriers. The carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be located according to a channel grid for discovery by UE 115. The carrier may operate in an autonomous mode in which initial acquisition and connection can be performed by UE 115 via that carrier, or in a non-autonomous mode in which the carrier may connect to carriers anchored using different carriers (e.g., different carriers of the same or different radio access technologies).

[0058] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include uplink transmission from UE 115 to base station 105, or downlink transmission from base station 105 to UE 115. The carrier may carry downlink or uplink communication (e.g., in FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink and uplink communication (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0059] A carrier may be associated with a specific bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the carrier or the “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of several defined bandwidths (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 MHz) of a carrier for a particular radio access technology. Devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., base station 105, UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communication over a specific carrier bandwidth, or may be configurable to support communication over a single carrier bandwidth within a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a base station 105 or UE 115 that supports simultaneous communication via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate over a portion (e.g., a subband, BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0060] The signal waveform transmitted on the carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform extended OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM, a resource element may include a symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulation symbol) and a subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the code rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements the UE 115 receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate the UE 115 can achieve. Wireless communication resources can refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, temporal resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and using multiple spatial layers can further improve the data rate or data integrity of communication with the UE 115.

[0061] One or more parameter designs for a carrier can be supported, where the parameter design may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier can be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different parameter designs. In some examples, UE 115 can be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier can be active at a given time, and communication for UE 115 can be limited to one or more active BWPs.

[0062] The time interval of base station 105 or UE 115 can be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, such as the sampling period T. s =1 / (△f) max ·N f ) seconds, where △f max This can represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, while Nf This can represent the maximum supported Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) size. The time interval of the communication resources can be organized according to radio frames, each with a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame can be identified by a System Frame Number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0063] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may (e.g., in the time domain) be divided into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into several time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include several symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix added before each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, time slots may be further divided into multiple mini-time slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N) symbols. f (Number) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period can depend on the subcarrier interval or the operating frequency band.

[0064] A subframe, time slot, mini-slot, or symbol can be the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., in the time domain) and can be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the duration of the TTI (e.g., the number of symbol periods in the TTI) can be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 can be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0065] Physical channels can be multiplexed on a carrier using various techniques. Physical control channels and physical data channels can be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for physical control channels can be defined by the number of symbol periods and can extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESET) can be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs 115 can monitor or search control regions for control information based on one or more search space sets, and each search space set can include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for control channel candidates can refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information in a control information format having a given payload size. The search space set may include a common search space set configured to send control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set configured to send control information to a specific UE 115.

[0066] Each base station 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells (e.g., macrocells, small cells, hotspots, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof). The term "cell" may refer to a logical communication entity used to communicate with base station 105 (e.g., on a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier used to distinguish adjacent cells (e.g., Physical Cell Identifier (PCID), Virtual Cell Identifier (VCID), or others). In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area 110 or a portion of geographic coverage area 110 (e.g., a sector) on which a logical communication entity operates. The extent of such cells may vary from smaller areas (e.g., structures, subsets of structures) to larger areas depending on various factors (such as the capabilities of base station 105). For example, a cell may be or include buildings, subsets of buildings, or external space between or overlapping geographic coverage areas 110, among other examples.

[0067] Macrocells typically cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access for UEs 115 that have service subscriptions with a network provider supporting the macrocell. Small cells may be associated with a lower-power base station 105 (compared to macrocells) and may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed or unlicensed) frequency bands as macrocells. Small cells may provide unrestricted access to UEs 115 that have service subscriptions with a network provider, or may provide restricted access to UEs 115 associated with the small cell (e.g., UEs 115 in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG), or UEs 115 associated with a user in a home or office). Base station 105 may support one or more cells and may also support communication on one or more cells using one or more component carriers.

[0068] In some examples, a carrier can support multiple cells and can be configured with different cells based on different protocol types that can provide access for different types of devices (e.g., MTC, Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)).

[0069] In some examples, base station 105 may be mobile, and thus provide communication coverage to mobile geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. Wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network, in which different types of base stations 105 use the same or different radio access technologies to provide coverage to various geographic coverage areas 110.

[0070] The wireless communication system 100 can support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, base stations 105 can have similar frame timing, and transmissions from different base stations 105 can be approximately time-aligned. For asynchronous operation, base stations 105 can have different frame timing, and transmissions from different base stations 105 may not be time-aligned in some examples. The techniques described herein can be used for both synchronous and asynchronous operation.

[0071] Some UE 115 devices (such as MTC or IoT devices) can be low-cost or low-complexity devices and can provide automated communication between machines (e.g., via machine-to-machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC can refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with each other or with base station 105 without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communication from devices that have integrated sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application that uses the information or presents it to people interacting with the application. Some UE 115 devices may be designed to collect information or automate the behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include: smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wilderness survival monitoring, weather and geographic event monitoring, queue management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based commercial toll collection.

[0072] Some UEs 115 can be configured to operate in reduced-power modes, such as half-duplex communication (e.g., a mode that supports unidirectional communication via transmission or reception but not simultaneous transmission and reception). In some examples, half-duplex communication can be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power-saving techniques for UEs 115 include entering a power-saving deep sleep mode when not engaged in active communication, operating on limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communication), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs 115 can be configured to operate using a narrowband protocol type associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., subcarriers or resource block (RB) set) within the carrier, within the carrier's guard band, or outside the carrier.

[0073] Wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low latency communication, or various combinations thereof. For example, wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) or mission-critical communication. UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low latency, or mission-critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communication may include private or group communication and may be supported by one or more mission-critical services, such as Mission-Critical Talk-to-Talk (MCPTT), Mission-Critical Video (MCVideo), or Mission-Critical Data (MCData)). Support for mission-critical functions may include prioritization of services, and mission-critical services may be used for public safety or general business applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low latency, mission-critical, and ultra-reliable low latency are used interchangeably herein.

[0074] In some examples, UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UE 115 on a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UE 115s utilizing D2D communication may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of base station 105. Other UE 115s in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of base station 105 or may be unable to receive transmissions from base station 105 for other reasons. In some examples, groups of UE 115s communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system, where each UE 115 transmits to every other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between the individual UE 115s without involving base station 105.

[0075] In some systems, the D2D communication link 135 may be an example of a communication channel (such as a sidelink communication channel) between vehicles (e.g., UE 115). In some examples, vehicles may communicate using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2X) communication, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, or some combination of these communications. Vehicles may signal information related to traffic conditions, signaling, weather, safety, emergencies, or any other information relevant to the V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system may communicate via vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication through one or more network nodes (e.g., base station 105) with roadside infrastructure (such as roadside units), or with the network, or with both.

[0076] Core network 130 provides user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. Core network 130 can be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC). The EPC or 5GC may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a Mobility Management Entity (MME), Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a Serving Gateway (S-GW), Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (P-GW), or User Plane Function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to external networks. The control plane entity manages non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by base station 105 associated with core network 130. User IP packets can be delivered through the user plane entity, which provides IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity can connect to network operator IP service 150. Carrier IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, intranets, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0077] Some network devices (such as base station 105) may include sub-components, such as access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with each UE 115 through one or more other access network transport entities 145, which may be referred to as a radio headend, smart radio headend, or transmit / receive point (TRP). Each access network transport entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio headends and ANCs) or combined into a single network device (e.g., base station 105).

[0078] Wireless communication system 100 can operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz. Generally, the 300 MHz to 3 GHz band is referred to as a UHF band or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter. UHF waves can be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but these waves can penetrate various structures sufficiently for macrocells to provide service to UE 115 located indoors. Compared to transmissions using smaller frequencies and longer waves in the lower HF or VHF portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz, UHF wave transmission can be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 km).

[0079] The wireless communication system 100 can also operate in the ultra-high frequency (SHF) zoning using a frequency band from 3 GHz to 30 GHz (also known as the centimeter band) or in the extremely high frequency (EHF) zoning using a spectrum (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz) (also known as the millimeter band). In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 can support millimeter-wave (mmW) communication between the UE 115 and the base station 105, and the EHF antennas of the corresponding devices can be smaller and more closely spaced than UHF antennas. In some examples, this can facilitate the use of antenna arrays within the device. However, the propagation of EHF transmissions may suffer even greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter range than SHF or UHF transmissions. The techniques disclosed herein can be employed across transmissions using one or more different frequency zonings, and the frequency band usage specified across these frequency zonings may vary by country or regulatory authority.

[0080] Wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio spectrum bands. For example, wireless communication system 100 may employ licensed assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in unlicensed frequency bands (such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band). When operating in unlicensed radio spectrum bands, devices (such as base station 105 and UE 115) may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation in unlicensed frequency bands may be based on carrier aggregation configuration (e.g., LAA) in coordination with component carriers operating in licensed frequency bands. Operation in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, etc.

[0081] Base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ technologies such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, or beamforming. The antennas of base station 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that can support MIMO operation or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may coexist at an antenna assembly (such as an antenna tower). In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with base station 105 may be located in different geographical locations. Base station 105 may have an antenna array with several rows and columns of antenna ports that base station 105 can use to support beamforming for communication with UE 115. Similarly, UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0082] Base station 105 or UE 115 can use MIMO communication to leverage multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. This technique is known as spatial multiplexing. For example, a transmitting device may transmit multiple signals via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, a receiving device may receive multiple signals via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device; and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0083] Beamforming (also known as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., base station 105, UE 115) to shape or guide an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting and receiving devices. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals transmitted via antenna elements of an antenna array, such that some signals propagating relative to a particular orientation of the antenna array experience constructive interference, while others experience destructive interference. Adjustments to the signals transmitted via the antenna elements may include the transmitting or receiving device applying amplitude offset, phase offset, or both to the signals carried via the antenna elements associated with that device. The adjustments associated with each antenna element may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., the antenna array relative to the transmitting or receiving device, or relative to some other orientation).

[0084] Base station 105 or UE 115 may use beamsweeping techniques as part of beamforming operations. For example, base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) for beamforming operations to facilitate directional communication with UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted multiple times by base station 105 in different directions. For example, base station 105 may transmit signals based on different beamforming weight sets associated with different transmission directions. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used (e.g., by the transmitting device (such as base station 105) or the receiving device (such as UE 115)) to identify the beam direction that base station 105 uses for later transmission or reception.

[0085] Some signals (such as data signals associated with a specific receiving device) may be transmitted by base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., the direction associated with the receiving device (such as UE 115)). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmission along a single beam direction may be determined based on the signals transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more signals transmitted by base station 105 in different directions and may report to base station 105 an indication of the signals received by UE 115 with the highest signal quality or other acceptable signal quality.

[0086] In some examples, transmissions performed by a device (e.g., by base station 105 or UE 115) may be executed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate combined beams for transmission (e.g., from base station 105 to UE 115). UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and this feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. Base station 105 may transmit reference signals that may be precoded or unprecoded (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS)). UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., multi-panel type codebook, linear combination type codebook, port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted by base station 105 in one or more directions, UE 115 may use similar techniques to transmit signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., to identify the beam direction used by UE 115 for subsequent transmission or reception) or to transmit signals in a single direction (e.g., to transmit data to a receiving device).

[0087] A receiver device (e.g., UE 115) may attempt multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals (such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) from base station 105. For example, the receiver device may attempt multiple receive directions by: receiving via different antenna subarrays; processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays; receiving according to different sets of receive beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array (e.g., different directional listening weight sets); or processing received signals according to different sets of receive beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which may be referred to as "listening" according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, the receiver device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned on a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or other acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0088] Wireless communication system 100 can be a packet-based network operating according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communication at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer can be IP-based. The Radio Link Control (RLC) layer performs packet segmentation and reassembly for communication on logical channels. The Media Access Control (MAC) layer performs priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer can also use error detection, error correction, or both to support MAC layer retransmissions to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer can provide the establishment, configuration, and maintenance of RRC connections between UE 115 and base station 105 or core network 130 supporting user plane data radio bearers. At the physical layer, transport channels can be mapped to physical channels.

[0089] UE 115 and base station 105 can support data retransmission to increase the likelihood of successful data reception. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback is a technique used to increase the likelihood of correctly receiving data on communication link 125. HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ)). HARQ can improve MAC layer throughput in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise ratio conditions). In some examples, the device may support simultaneous time-slot HARQ feedback, where the device can provide HARQ feedback in a specific time slot for data received in previous symbols within that time slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in subsequent time slots or according to some other time interval.

[0090] In some examples, UE 115 can measure CLI even if not all attacking UE 115s are transmitting signals that can be measured by victim UE 115s. UE 115 can obtain a CLI measurement set by performing CLI measurements during a CLI measurement timing set. UE 115 can determine a first subset of the CLI measurement set that meets a CLI measurement threshold and a second subset of the CLI measurement set that does not meet the CLI measurement threshold. UE 115 can apply a filter to the first subset of the CLI measurement set and suppress the filter for the second subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain filtered CLI measurements. UE 115 can transmit the filtered CLI measurements to base station 105 (e.g., in a CLI measurement report). Base station 105 can receive the CLI measurement report and can schedule communications with UE 115 and any other UE 115 (e.g., other victim UE 115s, other attacking UE 115s, etc.) based on the CLI measurement report.

[0091] Figure 2Examples of a wireless communication system 200 supporting CLI measurement configurations according to various aspects of this disclosure are explained. In some examples, the wireless communication system 200 may implement various aspects of the wireless communication system 100. The wireless communication system 200 may include UE 215-a and UE 215-b, which may be examples of UE 215 as described herein. The wireless communication system 200 may also include base stations 205-a and 205-b, which may be examples of base station 205 as described herein. Each base station 205 may be associated with a cellular cell that provides wireless communication with that base station 205 within a respective coverage area 210. Although references Figure 2 The explanation refers to two separate base stations, but in some examples, base station 205-a and base station 205-b can be the same base station. The techniques described herein can be implemented by a single base station, or two separate base stations, or two base stations coexisting, etc.

[0092] The wireless communication system 200 can employ TDD communication, where the wireless communication channel is used for both uplink and downlink transmissions. Each cell can be configured with a TDD configuration 220 for that cell. For example, a first cell of base station 205-a can use a first TDD configuration 220-a, while a second cell of base station 205-b can use a second TDD configuration 220-b. UEs 215 in these cells can communicate with the base stations based on their respective TDD configurations 220. For example, the time slots of the TDD configuration 220 can include symbol periods for downlink symbols 225, flexible symbols 230, uplink symbols 235, or any combination thereof. Base station 205 can transmit downlink signals in downlink symbols 225, and UE 215 can transmit uplink signals in uplink symbols 235. In some cases, flexible symbols 230 can be used as a guard period between uplink and downlink transmissions. The protection period can prevent inter-symbol interference or provide the UE 215 with time to adjust RF hardware, reconfigure antennas, etc. In some cases, flexible symbol 230 can be dynamically reconfigured into downlink symbol 225 or uplink symbol 235.

[0093] Base station 205 can dynamically change TDD configuration 220. In one example, traffic in the first cell may be redirected to a more uplink-heavy configuration, so the first TDD configuration 220-a of the first cell may be changed to use a slot configuration with more uplink symbol periods. In some cases, TDD configuration 220 may be dynamically indicated to the UE in the cell by a slot format indicator (SFI) in the downlink control information (DCI) transmission. The DCI transmission conveying the SFI may be transmitted in one of the first few downlink symbols 225 of the slot. Additionally or alternatively, TDD configuration 220 may be semi-statically configured by higher-layer signaling (e.g., included in a radio resource control configuration).

[0094] In some cases, different TDD configurations 220 used by adjacent cells may lead to conflicting transmission directions for some symbol periods of a time slot. For example, symbol periods 9 and 10 of the illustrated time slot may have conflicting directions for the first TDD configuration 220-a and the second TDD configuration 220-b. With downlink symbol 225 configured in TDD configuration 220-b, uplink symbol 235 can be configured in TDD configuration 220-a. Therefore, UE 215-a in the first cell can be configured to transmit uplink transmissions, while UE 215-b in the second cell is configured to receive downlink transmissions. The first and second cells can be adjacent cells, and UE 215-b and UE 215-a can be close to each other at the edges of their respective cells. In some cases, uplink transmissions by UE 215-a may cause CLI 240 for downlink transmissions received by UE 215-b during conflicting symbol periods. Generally, when the uplink symbols of one UE conflict with the downlink symbols of another nearby UE, different TDD configurations 220 may lead to CLI 240. CLI 240 may occur near or between UEs at the cell edge of a nearby cell. CLI may also occur when different UEs are configured with different TDD configurations for the same cell. The UE 215 transmitting uplink signals (e.g., UE 215-a) may be referred to as the aggressor UE 215, and the UE 215 receiving the affected downlink transmission (e.g., UE 215-b) may be referred to as the victim UE 215.

[0095] To manage CLI 240 in a wireless communication system, the victim UE 215 (e.g., UE 215-b) may perform a measurement procedure to determine one or more metrics of CLI 240. In some such procedures, the victim UE 215 may notify the serving base station 205 (e.g., 205-b) of potential interference. The serving base station 205 may then configure resources for measuring one or more metrics of CLI 240 and transmit messages indicating these resources to the victim UE 215-b. The victim UE 215 may then perform measurements of one or more metrics of CLI 240. For example, these one or more metrics may include Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), or similar power measurements to determine the extent of the impact of CLI 240 on the victim UE 215. In some scenarios, RSRP measurements can be performed on the corresponding reference signals transmitted by the attacking UE 215 (e.g., UE215-a) to measure CLI 240, while RSSI measurements can be performed to measure all sources of interference, including the reference signals transmitted by the attacking UE 215 and other noise. RSSI measurements can be configured, for example, during uplink shared channel transmissions by the attacking UE 215. Such reference signals may include probe reference signals (SRS), demodulation reference signals (DMRS) for PUCCH or PUSCH, etc. For example, the attacking UE 215 may transmit a first set of probe reference signals (SRS) to enable the victim UE 215 to measure RSRP on the SRS to determine the strength of CLI 240, transmit a second set of SRS to enable the victim UE 215 to measure RSSI on the SRS (e.g., SRS for RSSI) to determine the strength of CLI 240, or any combination thereof. That is, if CLI measurement resources are configured for SRS signaling, the victim UE215-b can measure SRS RSRP. If the corresponding CLI RSSI measurement resources are configured by the network (e.g., base station 205-a), then UE215-b can also measure CLI RSSI. Base station 205 can configure measurement resources (e.g., CLI measurement timing) and can provide them in the measurement object (MO). This configuration may also include the periodicity of the CLI to be measured, the frequency resource block (RB), and OFDM symbols.

[0096] In some cases, CLI measurement resources may be associated with existing reference signals, which the victim UE 215 measures to determine different metrics regarding CLI 240. For example, CLI measurement resources may include SRS, DMRS for PUCCH or PUSCH, or similar uplink signals transmitted by the attacker's radio device during one or more corresponding downlink symbols at the victim UE 215. Accordingly, the victim UE 215 may measure the strength of CLI 240 based on one or more CLI measurement resources received from the attacker's radio device. After determining the strength of CLI 240, the victim UE 215 may report the CLI measurement to the serving base station 205. The serving base station 205 may then initiate a CLI management procedure to eliminate or otherwise account for CLI 240.

[0097] Although Figure 2 The diagram illustrates that each UE 215-a and UE 215-b are connected to a first and a second cell with corresponding base stations 205-a and 205-b, respectively. However, different scenarios exist where uplink transmissions from UE 215-a may cause CLIs to downlink transmissions received by UE 215-b. The various techniques described herein can also be applied to other UE-to-base station connection topologies. For example, the victim UE 215 and the attacker UE 215 may be in the same cell, in adjacent cells in a homogeneous deployment, or in different cells in an overlapping or heterogeneous deployment.

[0098] In some examples, UE 215 (e.g., victim UE 215-b) can perform one or more CLI measurements across multiple CLI measurement times, and can filter CLI measurements to obtain filtered CLI measurement values, as referenced. Figure 3 More detailed description.

[0099] Figure 3 Examples of timeline 300 for handling interference in the absence of CLI measurements, supported by various aspects of this disclosure, are described. In some examples, timeline 300 may implement various aspects of wireless communication system 100. In some examples, UE 115 may implement various aspects of timeline 300. Such UE 115 may be a reference. Figure 1 and 2 Examples of the corresponding devices described.

[0100] Base station 105 can configure resources (e.g., CLI measurement timing 305) for one or more UEs to perform CLI measurements. Each CLI measurement timing may span one or more time, frequency, or spatial resources. For example, CLI measurement timing 305-a may have a time period duration 310-a, CLI measurement timing 305-b may have a time period duration 310-b, and CLI measurement timing 305-c may have a time period duration 310-c. UE 115 can perform CLI measurements (e.g., physical layer measurements such as Layer 1 (LI) measurements) during each configured CLI measurement timing 305. Physical layer measurements may include filtering based on one or more coefficients. For example, UE 115 can generate a filtered CLI measurement value F by performing a filtering procedure as follows. n (For example, updated filtered measurements on layer 3 (L3): F n = (1-a)·F n-1 +a·M n M n F represents the latest measurement result received or performed from the physical layer. n-1 Representing older filtered measurement results, F0 is set to the first measurement result from the physical layer (e.g., within a time period or for several CLI measurement instances), and a represents the coefficient value used for CLI measurement filtering (e.g., the coefficient of the L3 filter). UE 115 can generate filtered CLI measurement values ​​F. n Furthermore, filtered CLI measurements can be used to evaluate reporting criteria or measurement reports. UE 115 can provide the base station with filtered CLI measurements or information based thereon (e.g., in CLI measurement report messages).

[0101] Therefore, UE 115 can perform one or more CLI measurement procedures during one or more CLI measurement times 305. For each CLI measurement, UE 115 can update the filtered CLI measurement value based on the latest CLI measurement. Over time (e.g., across CLI measurement times 305-a, CLI measurement times 305-b, and CLI measurement times 305-c), UE 115 can perform multiple CLI measurements and update the filtered CLI measurement value based on these multiple CLI measurements. Filtered CLI measurements can provide accurate information reflecting the CLIs experienced by the victim UE 115 over time. However, if the victim UE 115 fails to detect any CLIs during one or more CLI measurement times 305, the filtered CLI measurement value may be inaccurate, as referenced. Figure 4 A more detailed description.

[0102] Figure 4Examples of timeline 400 for handling interference absent for CLI measurements, supported by various aspects of this disclosure, are described. In some instances, timeline 400 may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 and 200. In some examples, UE 115 may implement aspects of timeline 400. Such UE 115 may be a reference. Figures 1 to 3 Examples of the corresponding devices described.

[0103] In some examples, the victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurements during configured CLI measurement times 405 (e.g., CLI measurement times 405-a, 405-b, and 405-c). CLI measurements may resemble Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements used for mobility. For example, both RRM and CLI measurements may follow a Layer 3 measurement and reporting mechanism or protocol. Both RRM and CLI measurements may be periodic and may be based on RRC configuration of measurement resources (e.g., configured CLI measurement times 405). However, RRM and CLI measurements may also differ in some respects. For example, RRM measurements may be performed on signaling transmitted by a base station, where base station operation may be continuous (e.g., it may not enter idle or sleep modes). Therefore, RRM measurements may always be received during configured resource periods. However, CLI measurements may be performed on signals transmitted by other attacker UEs. Other UEs may not be operating continuously or may not always have access to the resources of CLI measurement time 405.

[0104] In some examples, the attacking UE can be configured to operate in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. For example, during time period 410-a, the attacking UE 115 can operate in wake-up or DRX-enabled mode. During time period 410-b, the attacking UE 115 can operate in sleep or DRX-disabled mode. During time period 410-c, the attacking UE 115 can wake up and re-enter DRX-enabled mode. Therefore, during CLI measurement times 405-a and 405-c, the attacking UE 115 can transmit one or more signals (e.g., SRS) for the victim UE 115 to perform CLI measurements. However, during CLI measurement time period 405-b, the attacking UE 115 may not transmit any uplink signals or utilize any uplink channel. As a result, the victim UE 115 may not detect any CLI during CLI measurement time period 405-b (e.g., because the attacking UE 115 may be operating in sleep mode). In such examples, filtered CLI measurements may be inaccurate due to the lack of CLI during CLI measurement timing 405-b (which would otherwise be generated by the attacker UE 115).

[0105] In some examples, the attacking UE 115 can operate on an unlicensed frequency (e.g., on an unlicensed frequency channel). Therefore, the attacking UE 115 can execute one or more procedures (e.g., a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) procedure) to attempt to gain access to that channel. Such procedures may or may not succeed. For example, during time period 410-a (e.g., before CLI measurement timing 405-a), the attacking UE 115 may successfully gain access to the unlicensed channel and can transmit one or more uplink signals during CLI measurement timing 405-a. During time period 410-b (e.g., before CLI measurement timing 405-b), the attacking UE 115 may attempt to gain access to the unlicensed channel but may fail to do so. Therefore, the attacking UE 115 may not be able to send any uplink transmissions during CLI measurement timing 405-b. During time period 410-c (e.g., before CLI measurement timing 405-c), the attacking UE can regain access to the unlicensed channel and can transmit one or more uplink signals during CLI measurement timing 405-c. As a result, the victim UE 115 may not detect any CLI during CLI measurement timing 405-b (e.g., because the attacking UE 115 cannot gain access to the unlicensed channel). In such examples, the filtered CLI measurements may be inaccurate due to the lack of CLI during CLI measurement timing 405-b (which would otherwise be generated by the attacking UE 115).

[0106] In some examples, the victim UE can simultaneously measure CLIs from multiple attacker UEs 115. If one or more attacker UEs 115 fail to send uplink signals during the CLI measurement period (e.g., due to DRX loops or inability to access unlicensed channels), the CLI measurement for that CLI measurement period may be inaccurate.

[0107] Inaccurate CLI measurements and the resulting filtered CLI measurements can lead to inaccurate CLI measurement reports. If CLI measurement reports are inaccurate, network equipment (e.g., base station 105) may not be able to accurately avoid CLIs. Furthermore, the base station may be unable to successfully schedule various UEs, select appropriate beams for communication, etc., to avoid or reduce CLIs. This can result in increased interference in the system, increased system latency, reduced system efficiency, and a degraded user experience.

[0108] In some examples, to avoid inaccurate CLI measurements and filtered CLI measurements due to the lack of transmissions from one or more attacker UEs 115, the victim UE can determine a threshold CLI measurement value and discard CLI measurements that do not meet the threshold, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 More detailed description.

[0109] Figure 5 Examples of timeline 500 for handling interference absent for CLI measurements, supported by various aspects of this disclosure, are described. In some instances, timeline 500 may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 and 200. In some examples, UE 115 may implement aspects of timeline 500. Such UE 115 may be a reference. Figures 1 to 4 Examples of the corresponding devices described.

[0110] In some examples, such as reference Figures 3 to 4 As described, the victim UE 115 may perform one or more CLI measurements during CLI measurement timing 505 (e.g., CLI measurement timing 505-a, CLI measurement timing 505-b, and CLI measurement timing 505-c). In some examples, such as references... Figure 4 As described, the attacking UE 115 may be unable to transmit uplink signals during certain time periods. For example, the attacking UE 115 may be able to transmit uplink transmissions during time period 510-a and time period 510-c. However, during time period 510-b, the attacking UE 115 may be in a DRX loop-off mode, or may be unable to obtain access to unlicensed spectrum, or may otherwise be unable to transmit uplink transmissions. In such an example, the victim UE 115 may not detect any uplink signaling from the attacking UE 115 during time period 510-b.

[0111] To avoid inaccurate CLI measurements, the victim UE 115 can identify CLI measurement moments 505 where the attacker UE 115 does not send any uplink transmissions. In some examples, the victim UE 115 can identify such empty CLI measurement moments 505 based on a threshold CLI measurement value 515. The victim UE 115 can identify the threshold CLI measurement value based on a pre-configuration, or the base station 105 can signal the threshold CLI measurement value to one or more victim UEs 115. If a physical layer measurement (e.g., CLI measurement 520) meets (e.g., exceeds, is equal to, or is higher than) the threshold CLI measurement value 515, the victim UE 115 can use CLI measurement 520 and can apply the filter to obtain an updated filtered CLI measurement value. However, if CLI measurement 520 does not meet (e.g., is less than, is less than, or is equal to) the threshold CLI measurement value 515, the victim UE can discard CLI measurement 520 (e.g., execute the result value of CLI measurement 520).

[0112] For example, the victim UE 115 can perform CLI measurement 520-a during CLI measurement timing 505-a. CLI measurement 520-a can meet the threshold CLI measurement value 515. The victim UE can apply this filter, as referenced. Figure 3 As described. In some examples, where CLI measurement 520-a is the first CLI measurement 520, the victim UE 115 can... n The value is set to F0. During CLI measurement timing 505-b, the victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurement 520-b. CLI measurement 520-b may not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 515. Therefore, the victim UE 115 may discard CLI measurement 520-b. That is, the victim UE 115 may not apply the filter to CLI measurement 520-b and may suppress updates to the filtered CLI measurement value. During CLI measurement timing 505-c, the victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurement 520-c, which may meet the threshold CLI measurement value 515. Therefore, the victim UE 115 may update the filter only based on the actual CLI measurement being transmitted by the attacker UE 115 for uplink signaling.

[0113] The victim UE 115 can also adjust the filter coefficients (e.g., as referenced). Figure 3The described α) takes into account discarded CLI measurements 520. For example, after discarding some CLI measurements 520, filtered CLI measurements can be weighted to older measurements. Therefore, to address this issue, the victim UE 115 can adapt the filter coefficient to retain the time characteristics of the filter when discarding some physical layer CLI measurements. That is, the value of the filter coefficient can be related to the amount of time elapsed since the last CLI measurement 520 that met the threshold CLI measurement value 515. The more CLI measurements 520 the victim UE 115 has discarded, or the longer the time elapsed since the last CLI measurement 520 that met the threshold CLI measurement value 515, the larger the value that the victim UE 115 can choose for the filter coefficient. That is, the victim UE 115 can discard CLI measurements 520 that do not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 515, and when CLI measurement 520 does meet the threshold CLI measurement value 515, the victim UE 115 can increase the value of the filter coefficient so that the filtered CLI measurement value depends more on the later CLI measurement 520 (e.g., apply a higher filter coefficient to it) compared to the previous or stale CLI measurement 520.

[0114] Figure 6 Examples of timeline 600 for handling interference absent for CLI measurements, supported by various aspects of this disclosure, are described. In some instances, timeline 600 may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 and 200. In some examples, UE 115 may implement aspects of timeline 600. Such UE 115 may be a reference. Figures 1 to 5 Examples of the corresponding devices described.

[0115] For reference Figures 3 to 5 As described, the victim UE 115 can perform CLI measurement 605 during one or more CLI measurement opportunities. The victim UE 115 can also determine a threshold CLI measurement value 610 and can discard CLI measurements 605 that do not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610.

[0116] In some examples, the victim UE 115 can increment a counter for each consecutive CLI measurement 605 that does not meet the threshold CLI measurement 610, starting from a previous CLI measurement 605 that does meet the threshold CLI measurement 610. The victim UE 115 can perform the CLI measurement 605 and can then increment or reset the counter, as referenced herein. Figure 6 As described.

[0117] For example, the victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurement 605-a, which may not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610. The counter value can be set to n based on n-1 consecutive CLI measurements 605 that do not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610.

[0118] During a subsequent CLI measurement opportunity, the victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurement 605-b, which satisfies the threshold CLI measurement value 610. The victim UE 115 may then reset the counter to C = 0. During the next CLI measurement opportunity, the victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurement 605-c, which also satisfies the threshold CLI measurement value 610. Because CLI measurement 605-c satisfies the threshold CLI measurement value 610, the victim UE 115 may suppress the incrementing of the counter.

[0119] Victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurement 605-d, which does not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610. Victim UE 115 may increment the counter so that the counter value C = 1. When performing CLI measurement 605-e, which does not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610, victim UE 115 may increment the counter so that the counter value C = 2. When victim UE 115 performs CLI measurement 605-f (which does not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610), UE 115 may further increment the counter so that the counter value C = 3. Victim UE 115 may discard each of CLI measurements 605-d, 605-e, and 605-f (e.g., the filtered CLI measurement value may not be updated). Victim UE 115 may perform CLI measurement 605-g, which does meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610. Upon determining that CLI measurement 605-g indeed meets the threshold CLI measurement value 610, the victim UE 115 may reset the counter so that the counter value C = 0. The victim UE 115 may adjust the value of the filter coefficient based on the amount of time since CLI measurement 605-c, or the number of CLI measurements 605 that do not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610 since CLI measurement 605-c (e.g., three CLI measurements 605), so that the filtered CLI measurement value depends more on the current CLI measurement 605-g than on outdated or obsolete CLI measurements 605-c and measurements prior to 605-c.

[0120] In some examples, the victim UE 115 can determine a limit on the counter value. When the counter value exceeds this limit, the victim UE 115 can set the CLI measurement result or the updated filtered CLI measurement value to a predefined value indicating (e.g., within a time period) that no CLI was detected. In some cases, the victim UE 115 can transmit a CLI measurement report with a predefined value. This limit can act as a forgetting factor. That is, after the counter reaches the limit, at the next CLI measurement 605 that does indeed satisfy the threshold CLI measurement value 610, the victim UE 115 can set the filter coefficient to equal 1 to reset the filter output to the current CLI measurement 605. For example, the limit could be equal to two. In such examples, the victim UE 115 can perform CLI measurement 605-c, which satisfies the threshold CLI measurement value 610. When performing CLI measurement 605-d that does not satisfy the threshold CLI measurement 610, the victim UE 115 can increment the counter such that the counter value C = 1. After performing a consecutive CLI measurement 605-e (which also does not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 610), the victim UE 115 may increment the counter again so that the counter value C = 2. If the victim UE 115 is configured to transmit a CLI measurement report before CLI measurement 605-g (e.g., in an aperiodic circular report or in a periodic report scheduled between CLI measurements 605-e and 605-g), the victim UE 115 may include a predefined value indicating the lack of a measured CLI. Upon receiving a CLI measurement report, the base station 105 may determine, based on a predetermined value, that the victim UE 115 did not detect a CLI during a time period (e.g., during the two CLI measurement opportunities of CLI measurements 605-d and 605-e). In some examples, the victim UE 115 can continue to increment the counter until the next CLI measurement that actually satisfies the threshold CLI measurement value 610 (e.g., CLI measurement 605-g). In some examples, the victim UE 115 can reset the counter each time the limit is reached. In either case, when executing the next CLI measurement 605 (e.g., 605-g) that actually satisfies the threshold CLI measurement value 610, the victim UE 115 can reset the counter so that C = 0, and can set the filter coefficient to equal 1. That is, the victim UE 115 can discard CLI measurements 605-d, 605-e, and 605-f without filtering them. The victim UE 115 can filter CLI measurement 605-g and can update the filtered CLI measurement value with the coefficient value 1 so that the filtered value is reset to output a filtered CLI measurement value equal to CLI measurement 605-g.Setting the filter coefficient to 1 when the limit is exceeded can prevent the use of outdated data (e.g., CLI measurement 605-c and CLI measurement 605-b).

[0121] In some examples, the victim UE 115 can utilize multiple counters, as referenced Figure 7 More detailed description.

[0122] Figure 7 An example of timeline 700 for handling interference absent for CLI measurements, supported by various aspects of this disclosure, is described. In some instances, timeline 700 may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 and 200. In some examples, UE 115 and base station 105 may implement aspects of timeline 600. Such UE 115 and base station 105 may be references. Figures 1 to 6 Examples of the corresponding devices described.

[0123] For reference Figures 3 to 6 As described, the victim UE 115 can perform CLI measurement 705 during one or more CLI measurement opportunities. The victim UE 115 can also determine a threshold CLI measurement value 710 and can discard CLI measurements 705 that do not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710.

[0124] In some examples, the victim UE 115 can increment a first counter for each CLI measurement 705 that actually meets the threshold CLI measurement value 710, and increment a second counter for each CLI measurement 705 that does not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710. The victim UE 115 can perform the CLI measurement 705 and can then increment or reset the counter, as referenced herein. Figure 7 As described.

[0125] After each CLI measurement 705, the victim UE 115 can determine whether to increment each counter based on whether the CLI measurement 705 meets the threshold CLI measurement value 710. For example, UE 115 can perform CLI measurement 705-a, which does not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710. The victim UE 115 may not increment the first counter C1 to make C1 = 0, and may increment the second counter C2 to make C2 = 1. The victim UE can perform CLI measurement 705-b, which does meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710. The victim UE 115 may increment the first counter C1 to make C2 = 1, but may suppress the increment of the second counter C2 to make C1 = 1. Similarly, when performing CLI measurement 705-c, which does meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710, the victim UE 115 may increment the first counter C1 to make C1 = 2, but may not increment the second counter C2 to make C2 = 1.

[0126] The victim UE 115 can perform CLI measurements 705-d, 705-e, and 705-f that do not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710. In each case, the victim UE 115 can increment the second counter C2 such that C2 = 4 after CLI measurement 705-f. The victim UE 115 can also leave the first counter C1 unchanged, such that C1 = 2 after CLI measurement 705-f. When performing CLI measurement 705-g, the victim UE 115 can increment the first counter such that C1 = 3, and can leave the second counter C2 unchanged, such that C2 = 4. Therefore, after several (e.g., seven) CLI measurement opportunities, the victim UE 115 can increment both counters such that the first counter value (e.g., C1) equals three (e.g., C1 = 3) and the second counter value (e.g., C2) equals four (e.g., C2 = 4). The counter value can reflect the frequency with which physical measurement results exceed the threshold CLI measurement value 710. In some examples, the counter value can be incremented only for consecutive CLI measurements associated with a particular counter (e.g., consecutive CLI measurements 705 that actually meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710, or consecutive CLI measurements 704 that do not meet the threshold CLI measurement value 710). In some examples, the victim UE 115 can increment each counter for any CLI measurement 705 associated with the counter over a period of time (e.g., the victim UE 115 can increment a second counter for CLI measurement 705-a to make C2 = 1, and then increment the second counter again for CLI measurement 705-d, even though CLI measurements 705-a and CLI measurements 705-d are not actually consecutive).

[0127] In some examples, the victim UE 115 may include information associated with a first counter, a second counter, or both in the CLI measurement report. For example, the CLI measurement report may include a first counter value (e.g., C1 = 3), a second counter value (e.g., C2 = 4), or both. The CLI measurement report may include the relationship between the two counters, such as a ratio (e.g., ...). or In some examples, CLI measurement reports may include a relationship between the two counters, such as the duty cycle of CLI measurements that are above and below a threshold across all measurements. Such a relationship may be indicated as either the first counter value or the second counter value divided by the sum of the first and second counter values ​​(e.g., or ).

[0128] The victim UE 115 can determine the criteria or rules used to trigger CLI measurement reports. For example, a rule could provide that UE 115 will not transmit CLI measurement reports unless one or more conditions are met. For example, the victim UE 115 can suppress the transmission of CLI measurement reports unless the relationship between the first and second counters (e.g., ...) or The CLI report can be triggered by one or more conditions, prepared or requested by the victim UE 115, or scheduled by the base station 105 (e.g., via higher-layer signaling) (e.g., time-period CLI measurement report). The victim UE 115 can determine whether the relationship value meets the relationship value threshold. If not, the victim UE 115 can suppress the transmission of the CLI measurement report (e.g., suppress the transmission of scheduled and pending CLI measurement reports, suppress requests for resources for CLI measurement reports, or suppress the initiation of CLI measurement reports, etc.).

[0129] In some examples, after transmitting a CLI measurement report (e.g., including information related to the first and second counters, or the relationship between the first and second counters), the victim UE 115 can reset both counters so that C1=0 and C2=0 are used for the next CLI measurement 705.

[0130] Figure 8 An example of a process flow 800 for handling interference absent for CLI measurements, supported by various aspects of this disclosure, is described. Process flow 800 can be implemented by base station 805 and UE 815, which can be referenced... Figures 1 to 7 Example of the corresponding device described. UE 815 may be an example of a victim UE115 experiencing a CLI generated by one or more attacker UE 115s.

[0131] At 810, UE 815 can receive a CSI measurement timing configuration message from base station 805 via higher-layer signaling (e.g., RRC signaling). The CSI measurement timing configuration message can indicate the time, frequency, or spatial resources used to perform CLI measurements.

[0132] In 820, UE 815 can obtain a CLI measurement set by performing a CLI measurement procedure during the indicated CLI measurement timing.

[0133] In 825, UE 815 can determine a first subset of the CLI measurement set that meets the CLI measurement threshold. In some examples, UE 815 can also determine a second subset of the CLI measurement set that does not meet the CLI measurement threshold. UE 815 can discard CLI measurements that do not meet the CLI measurement threshold. That is, UE 815 can suppress the use of filters on the second subset of the CLI measurement set, and the filtered CLI measurement values ​​are based on the suppression of the use of filters on the second subset of CLI measurements. In some examples, UE 815 can adjust the coefficient values ​​of the current CLI measurements in the first subset of the CLI measurement set based on the number of CLI measurements in the second subset of the CLI measurement set.

[0134] In some examples, UE 815 may perform a first CLI measurement and initiate a counter based on the first CLI measurement within a first subset of the CLI measurement set. UE 815 may perform one or more additional CLI measurements and increment the counter for each of the additional CLI measurements, at least in part, based on determining that the one or more additional CLI measurements are within a second subset of the CLI measurement set. In some examples, UE 815 may perform a second CLI measurement after the one or more additional CLI measurements and reset the counter based on determining that the second CLI measurement is within the first subset of the CLI measurement set. UE 815 may adjust the coefficient value of the second CLI measurement within the first subset of the CLI measurement set based on the last value of the counter before resetting the counter.

[0135] In 830, UE 815 can apply a filter to a first subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain filtered CLI measurement values.

[0136] At 835, UE 815 can transmit filtered CLI measurements to base station 805. UE 815 can determine that the incremented counter value meets a counter threshold based on incrementing the counter, and can generate CLI measurements indicating a lack of detected CLI interference. In this case, UE 815 can subsequently transmit the CLI measurement to base station 805. The CLI measurement report may include the CLI measurement. After transmitting the CLI measurement report, UE 815 can perform another CLI measurement, set a coefficient value equal to 1 for the current CLI measurement, and apply a filter to a first subset of the CLI measurement set based on this coefficient.

[0137] In some examples, when determining a first subset and a second subset of the CLI measurement set, UE 815 may initiate and increment a first counter for each CLI measurement in the first subset of the CLI measurement set, and may initiate and increment a second counter for each CLI measurement in the second subset of the CLI measurement set. In such examples, transmitting the CLI measurement report may include a first counter value of the first counter, or a second counter value of the second counter, both, a ratio between the first and second counter values, or another relationship between the first and second counter values ​​(e.g., the first or second counter value divided by the sum of the first and second counter values).

[0138] At 840, base station 805 can schedule communications from UE 815 and other UEs based on the CLI measurement value. In some cases, the CLI measurement value may be included in the CLI measurement report. Base station 805 may perform this scheduling based on a first counter value, a second counter value, or the relationship between the first and second counter values.

[0139] If base station 105 receives an indication that no CLI measurement has been received, base station 105 can adjust or schedule communication accordingly (e.g., it may not change the current resource configuration because no CLI has been reported). In some examples (e.g., where UE 815 suppresses the transmission of CLI reports because the relationship between the first counter value and the second counter value does not meet a counter value relationship threshold), base station 805 can determine that the counter value relationship threshold is not met because it has not received a CLI report, and therefore can configure communication or suppress such communication based on this determination.

[0140] Figure 9 A block diagram 900 of a device 905 supporting the handling of interference for CLI measurements in the absence of any aspect thereof is shown. Device 905 may be an example of an aspect of UE 115 as described herein. Device 905 may include a receiver 910, a communications manager 915, and a transmitter 920. Device 905 may also include a processor. Each of these components may be in communication with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0141] Receiver 910 can receive information such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to handling interference not present for CLI measurements). The information can be transmitted to other components of device 905. Receiver 910 can be a reference... Figure 12 Examples of various aspects of the transceiver 1220 described. The receiver 910 may utilize a single antenna or an array of antennas.

[0142] The communication manager 915 can obtain a CLI measurement set based on a corresponding CLI measurement timing set, transmit filtered CLI measurement values ​​to the base station, determine a first subset of the CLI measurement set that meets the CLI measurement threshold, and apply a filter to the first subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain filtered CLI measurement values. The communication manager 915 can be an example of various aspects of the communication manager 1210 described herein.

[0143] The communication manager 915 or its sub-components may be implemented in hardware, code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof. If implemented in code executed by a processor, the functionality of the communication manager 915 or its sub-components may be performed by a general-purpose processor, DSP, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), FPGA or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof, designed to perform the functions described in this disclosure.

[0144] The communication manager 915 or its sub-components may be physically located at various locations, including being distributed such that portions of the functionality are implemented by one or more physical components at different physical locations. In some examples, according to various aspects of this disclosure, the communication manager 915 or its sub-components may be separate and distinct components. In some examples, according to various aspects of this disclosure, the communication manager 915 or its sub-components may be combined with one or more other hardware components, including but not limited to input / output (I / O) components, transceivers, network servers, another computing device, one or more other components described in this disclosure, or combinations thereof.

[0145] Transmitter 920 can transmit signals generated by other components of device 905. In some examples, transmitter 920 may coexist with receiver 910 in a transceiver module. For example, transmitter 920 may be a reference... Figure 12 Examples of various aspects of the transceiver 1220 described. The transmitter 920 may utilize a single antenna or an array of antennas.

[0146] Figure 10 A block diagram 1000 of a device 1005 is shown, supporting the handling of interference for CLI measurements in the absence of any aspect thereof, according to various aspects of this disclosure. Device 1005 may be an example of aspects of device 905 or UE 115 as described herein. Device 1005 may include a receiver 1010, a communication manager 1015, and a transmitter 1035. Device 1005 may also include a processor. Each of these components may be in communication with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0147] Receiver 1010 can receive information such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to handling interference not present for CLI measurements). The information can be transmitted to other components of device 1005. Receiver 1010 can be a reference... Figure 12 Examples of various aspects of the transceiver 1220 described herein. The receiver 1010 may utilize a single antenna or an array of antennas.

[0148] Communication manager 1015 may be an example of aspects of communication manager 915 as described herein. Communication manager 1015 may include CLI measurement manager 1020, CLI measurement threshold manager 1025, and filter manager 1030. Communication manager 1015 may be an example of aspects of communication manager 1210 as described herein.

[0149] The CLI measurement manager 1020 can obtain a CLI measurement set based on the corresponding CLI measurement timing set and transmit filtered CLI measurement values ​​to the base station. The CLI measurement manager 1020 can also send CLI measurement signals to the CLI measurement threshold manager 1025.

[0150] The CLI measurement threshold manager 1025 can determine the first subset of CLI measurements that meet the CLI measurement threshold. The CLI measurement threshold manager 1025 can send the CLI measurement threshold signal to the filter manager 1030.

[0151] The filter manager 1030 can apply filters to a first subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain filtered CLI measurement values.

[0152] Transmitter 1035 can transmit signals generated by other components of device 1005. In some examples, transmitter 1035 may coexist with receiver 1010 in a transceiver module. For example, transmitter 1035 may be a reference... Figure 12 Examples of various aspects of the transceiver 1220 described. The transmitter 1035 may utilize a single antenna or an array of antennas.

[0153] Figure 11A block diagram 1100 of a communication manager 1105 is shown, supporting the handling of interference for CLI measurements in the absence of any present invention. The communication manager 1105 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 915, communication manager 1015, or communication manager 1210 described herein. The communication manager 1105 may include a CLI measurement manager 1110, a CLI measurement threshold manager 1115, a filter manager 1120, a coefficient value manager 1125, a counter manager 1130, a counter value manager 1135, a CLI measurement value manager 1140, and a CLI measurement report manager 1145. Each of these modules may communicate directly or indirectly with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0154] CLI Measurement Manager 1110 can obtain a CLI measurement set based on a corresponding CLI measurement timing set. In some examples, CLI Measurement Manager 1110 can transmit filtered CLI measurement values ​​to the base station. In some examples, CLI Measurement Manager 1110 can perform a first CLI measurement. In some examples, CLI Measurement Manager 1110 can receive one or more reference signals 1150 on which CLI measurements will be performed.

[0155] In some examples, CLI Measurement Manager 1110 can perform one or more additional CLI measurements. In some examples, CLI Measurement Manager 1110 can perform a second CLI measurement after the one or more additional CLI measurements. In some examples, CLI Measurement Manager 1110 can send one or more CLI measurements to CLI Measurement Threshold Manager 1115 (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0156] CLI Measurement Threshold Manager 1115 can determine a first subset of the CLI measurement set that meets the CLI measurement threshold. In some examples, CLI Measurement Threshold Manager 1115 can determine a second subset of the CLI measurement set that does not meet the CLI measurement threshold. CLI Measurement Threshold Manager 1110 can send (e.g., via one or more buses) instructions 1160 to Filter Manager 1120 regarding the first subset, the second subset, or both.

[0157] Filter manager 1120 can apply filters to a first subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain filtered CLI measurement values. In some examples, filter manager 1120 can suppress the application of filters to a second subset of the CLI measurement set, and the filtered CLI measurement values ​​are based on the suppression of the application of filters to the second subset of the CLI measurement set. Filter manager 1120 can send (e.g., via one or more buses) an instruction 1165 for the filtered CLI measurement values. In some examples, filter manager 1120 can send instruction 1165 to CLI measurement value 1140.

[0158] The coefficient value manager 1125 can adjust the coefficient values ​​of the current CLI measurements in the first subset of the CLI measurement set based on the number of CLI measurements in the second subset of the CLI measurement set. In some examples, the coefficient value manager 1125 can adjust the coefficient values ​​of the second CLI measurements in the first subset of the CLI measurement set based on the last value of the counter before resetting the counter. In some examples, the coefficient value manager 1125 can set the coefficient value for the second CLI measurement to be equal to 1 based on determining that the incrementing counter value meets a counter threshold, where the application of the filter to the first subset of the CLI measurement set is based on this coefficient value. In some examples, the coefficient value manager 1125 can receive an instruction 1160 from the CLI measurement threshold manager 1115 for the first subset of the CLI measurement set or the second subset of the CLI measurement set, or both. The coefficient value manager can send an instruction 1170 to the filter manager 1120.

[0159] The counter manager 1130 may initiate a counter based on determining that a first CLI measurement is in a first subset of the CLI measurement set. In some examples, the counter manager 1130 may increment the counter for each of the one or more additional CLI measurements based on determining that the one or more additional CLI measurements are in a second subset of the CLI measurement set. In some examples, the counter manager 1130 may reset the counter based on determining that a second CLI measurement is in the first subset of the CLI measurement set.

[0160] In some examples, counter manager 1130 may increment a first counter for each CLI measurement in a first subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain a first counter value. In some examples, counter manager 1130 may increment a second counter for each CLI measurement in a second subset of the CLI measurement set to obtain a second counter value. In some examples, counter manager 1130 may determine that a first ratio between the first counter value and the second counter value, or a second ratio between the first counter value and the sum of the first and second counter values, or a third ratio between the second counter value and the sum of the first and second counter values, meets a threshold, wherein transmitting filtered CLI measurement values ​​is based on determining that the first ratio or the second ratio meets the threshold. In some examples, counter manager 1130 may reset the first and second counters based on transmitting filtered CLI measurement values ​​to the base station. Counter manager 1130 may receive (e.g., via one or more buses) indications for a first subset of the CLI measurement set, a second subset of the CLI measurement set, or both, from CLI measurement threshold manager 1175. In some examples, the counter manager 1130 may send (e.g., via one or more buses) an instruction 1180 to the counter value manager 1135 for the value of one or more counters based on a first counter, a second counter, or both.

[0161] The counter value manager 1135 can determine whether an incremented counter value meets a counter threshold based on incrementing the counter. The counter value manager 1135 can send a counter value signal 1185 to the CLI measurement value manager 1140 (e.g., via one or more buses). The counter value signal 1185 can include an indication of one or more counter values ​​for inclusion in the CLI measurement report manager. In some examples, the counter value manager 1135 can send the counter value signal 1185 to the CLI measurement value manager 1140 (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0162] CLI measurement value manager 1140 can generate CLI measurement values ​​indicating a lack of detected CLI based on determining that an incrementing counter value meets a counter threshold. In some examples, CLI measurement value manager 1140 can transmit CLI measurement values ​​1190 to the base station.

[0163] CLI Measurement Report Manager 1145 can transmit CLI measurement reports, which include filtered CLI measurement values ​​and indications of a first counter value, a second counter value, a ratio between the first and second counter values, a relationship between the first and second counter values, or any combination thereof. CLI Measurement Report Manager 1145 can send CLI Measurement Report 1195 to a manager (e.g., via one or more buses) or directly to a base station. In some examples, the CLI Measurement Report Manager can receive indications 1196 of filtered CLI measurement values ​​(e.g., from filter manager 1170). The CLI measurement report can communicate with one or more managers of device 1105 (e.g., via one or more buses) and can receive signaling (e.g., indications of a first counter value, a second counter value, a ratio between the first and second counter values, a relationship between the first and second counter values, or any combination thereof) from other managers for inclusion in the CLI Measurement Report 1195.

The CLI measurement report includes filtered CLI measurement values ​​corresponding to the CLI measurement timing set and an indication of a first counter value associated with at least a first subset of measurements in the CLI measurement set that meet a CLI measurement threshold, or a second counter value associated with a second subset of measurements in the CLI measurement set that do not meet a CLI measurement threshold. Operation of 1810 can be performed according to the methods described herein. In some examples, aspects of the operation of 1810 can be provided by reference to... Figures 13 to 16 The CLI measurement report manager described is used to perform this.

[0209] In step 1815, the base station can schedule communication between the UE and at least a second UE based on the received CLI measurement report. For example, the base station can schedule communication for the UE and at least a second UE. For example, the base station can update the TDD configuration of one or more UEs based on the CLI measurement report, or schedule communication, or select a communication beam for the UE, etc. The operation of step 1815 can be performed according to the methods described herein. In some examples, aspects of the operation of step 1815 can be derived from references... Figures 13 to 16 The described scheduler is used to execute this.
