[0002] This application claims the rights and priorities of the following applications: U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 079,899, filed September 17, 2020, entitled “RANDOMIZATION OF XR TRAFFIC ARRIVAL TIME”; and U.S. Patent Application No. 17 / 464,391, filed September 1, 2021, entitled “RANDOMIZATION OF XR TRAFFIC ARRIVAL TIME”, the entire contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] In summary, this disclosure relates to communication systems, and more specifically, to wireless communication systems having downlink and uplink communications of extended reality (XR), virtual reality (VR), or augmented reality (AR). Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources. Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), and Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA).

[0005] These multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different wireless devices to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. An example telecommunications standard is 5G New Radio (NR). 5G NR is part of the continuous evolution of mobile broadband released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to meet new requirements associated with latency, reliability, security, scalability (e.g., with the Internet of Things (IoT)), and other requirements. 5G NR includes services associated with enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). Some aspects of 5G NR can be based on the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. There is a need for further improvements to 5G NR technology. These improvements can also be applied to other multiple access technologies and telecommunications standards that use these technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The following provides a brief overview of one or more aspects to offer a basic understanding of these aspects. This overview is not a general summary of all anticipated aspects and is not intended to identify key or important elements of all aspects or to describe the scope of any or all aspects. Its purpose is solely to serve as a prelude to the more detailed descriptions that follow, presenting some concepts of one or more aspects in a simplified form.

The UE can communicate with the base station via downlink communication or uplink communication based on the uplink interleaving offset and the downlink interleaving offset.

[0024] The detailed description below, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, is intended as a description of various configurations and is not intended to represent the only configuration in which the concepts described herein can be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of the various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in the form of block diagrams to avoid obscuring such concepts.

[0025] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and methods. These apparatuses and methods will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, “elements”). These elements can be implemented using electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether such an element is implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0026] For example, an element, or any part of an element, or any combination of elements, can be implemented as a "processing system" including one or more processors. Examples of processors include microprocessors, microcontrollers, graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), application processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processors, system-on-a-chip (SoCs), baseband processors, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), state machines, gated logic, discrete hardware circuits, and other suitable hardware configured to perform the various functions described throughout this disclosure. One or more processors in a processing system can execute software. Whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or other names, software should be interpreted broadly as meaning instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subroutines, software components, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executable files, threads of execution, procedures, functions, etc.

[0027] Accordingly, in one or more example embodiments, the described functionality may be implemented in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software, the functionality may be stored or encoded as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. A computer-readable medium includes a computer storage medium. The storage medium may be any available medium accessible by a computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such a computer-readable medium may include random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), optical disc storage, magnetic disk storage, other magnetic storage devices, combinations of various types of computer-readable media, or any other medium that may be used to store computer-executable code accessible by a computer in the form of instructions or data structures.

[0028] While aspects and implementations are described herein by way of example, those skilled in the art will understand that additional implementations and use cases may arise in many different arrangements and scenarios. The innovations described herein can be implemented across many different platform types, devices, systems, shapes, sizes, and package arrangements. For example, implementations and / or uses may arise via integrated chip implementations and other devices based on non-modular components (e.g., end-user devices, vehicles, communication devices, computing devices, industrial equipment, retail / purchasing devices, medical devices, AI-enabled devices, etc.). While some examples may or may not be specific to a particular use case or application, a wide variety of applicability to the described innovations can exist. Implementations can range from chip-level or modular components to non-modular, non-chip-level implementations, and further to aggregated, distributed, or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) devices or systems incorporating one or more aspects of the described innovations. In some practical settings, devices incorporating the described aspects and features may also include additional components and features for the implementation and enforcement of the claimed and described aspects. For example, the transmission and reception of wireless signals necessarily involve several components for analog and digital purposes (e.g., hardware components including antennas, RF chains, power amplifiers, modulators, buffers, processors, interleavers, adders / converters, etc.). The innovations described herein are intended to be implemented in a variety of devices, chip-level components, systems, distributed arrangements, aggregated or decomposed components, end-user devices, etc., with different sizes, shapes, and constructions.

[0029] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates an example of a wireless communication system and access network 100. The wireless communication system (also referred to as a wireless wide area network (WWAN)) includes base station 102, UE 104, evolved packet core (EPC) 160, and another core network 190 (e.g., a 5G core (5GC)). Base station 102 may include macro cells (high-power cellular base stations) and / or small cells (low-power cellular base stations). Macro cells include base stations. Small cells include femtocells, picocells, and microcells.

[0030] Base station 102 configured for 4G LTE (collectively referred to as Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) can be connected to EPC 160 via a first backhaul link 132 (e.g., S1 interface). Base station 102 configured for 5G NR (collectively referred to as Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN)) can be connected to core network 190 via a second backhaul link 184. Among other functions, base station 102 can perform one or more of the following functions: transfer of user data, radio channel encryption and decryption, integrity protection, header compression, mobility control functions (e.g., handover, dual connectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection establishment and release, load balancing, distribution of non-access stratum (NAS) messages, NAS node selection, synchronization, radio access network (RAN) sharing, multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), user and device tracking, RAN information management (RIM), paging, location, and delivery of warning messages. Base stations 102 can communicate directly or indirectly (e.g., via EPC 160 or core network 190) with each other on the third backhaul link 134 (e.g., X2 interface). The first backhaul link 132, the second backhaul link 184, and the third backhaul link 134 can be wired or wireless.

[0031] Base station 102 can communicate wirelessly with UE 104. Each base station 102 in the base station 102 can provide communication coverage for its respective geographic coverage area 110. There may be overlapping geographic coverage areas 110. For example, a small cell 102' may have a coverage area 110' that overlaps with the coverage areas 110 of one or more macro base stations 102. A network that includes small cells and macro cells can be referred to as a heterogeneous network. The heterogeneous network may also include a Home Evolved Node B (eNB) (HeNB), which can provide services for restricted groups referred to as Closed Subscriber Groups (CSGs). The communication link 120 between base station 102 and UE 104 may include uplink (UL) (also referred to as reverse link) transmission from UE 104 to base station 102 and / or downlink (DL) (also referred to as forward link) transmission from base station 102 to UE 104. The communication link 120 may use multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and / or transmit diversity. The communication link may carry one or more carriers. Base station 102 / UE 104 can use spectrum allocated in carrier aggregation for a total of up to Yx MHz (x component carriers) for transmission in each direction, with a bandwidth of up to Y MHz per carrier (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 100, 400, etc.). Carriers may be adjacent to each other or may not be adjacent. Carrier allocation may be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL (e.g., more or fewer carriers may be allocated for DL ​​than for UL). Component carriers may include primary component carriers and one or more secondary component carriers. The primary component carrier may be referred to as the primary cell (PCell), and the secondary component carrier may be referred to as the secondary cell (SCell).

[0032] Some UEs 104 can communicate with each other using device-to-device (D2D) communication link 158. D2D communication link 158 can use DL / UL WWAN spectrum. D2D communication link 158 can use one or more sidelink channels, such as the Physical Sidelink Broadcast Channel (PSBCH), Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel (PSDCH), Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH), and Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH). D2D communication can be achieved through various wireless D2D communication systems, such as, for example, WiMedia, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, LTE, or NR.

[0033] The wireless communication system may also include a Wi-Fi access point (AP) 150 that communicates with a Wi-Fi base station (STA) 152 via a communication link 154, for example, in an unlicensed spectrum such as 5 GHz. When communicating in unlicensed spectrum, the STA 152 / AP 150 may perform a free channel assessment (CCA) before communication to determine whether the channel is available.

[0034] Small cell 102' can operate in licensed and / or unlicensed spectrum. When operating in unlicensed spectrum, small cell 102' can employ NR and use the same unlicensed spectrum (e.g., 5 GHz, etc.) as used by Wi-Fi AP 150. Small cell 102' employing NR in unlicensed spectrum can improve access network coverage and / or increase access network capacity.

[0035] The electromagnetic spectrum is typically subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency / wavelength. In 5G NR, the two initial operating bands have been designated as frequency range names FR1 (410MHz-7.125GHz) and FR2 (24.25GHz-52.6GHz). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6GHz, in various documents and articles, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the "below 6GHz" band. Similar naming issues sometimes arise regarding FR2; although it differs from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30GHz-300GHz), it is often (interchangeably) referred to in documents and articles as the "millimeter wave" band, which is designated as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

[0036] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have designated the operating bands for these mid-band frequencies as the frequency range name FR3 (7.125GHz–24.25GHz). Bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 and / or FR2 characteristics, and thus can effectively extend the characteristics of FR1 and / or FR2 to mid-band frequencies. Additionally, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation above 52.6GHz. For example, three higher operating frequency bands have been designated as the frequency range names FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6GHz–71GHz), FR4 (52.6GHz–114.25GHz), and FR5 (114.25GHz–300GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0037] In light of the foregoing, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that when the term "below 6 GHz" is used herein, it can broadly refer to frequencies that are less than 6 GHz, within FR1, or may include intermediate frequency band frequencies. Furthermore, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that when the term "millimeter wave" is used herein, it can broadly refer to frequencies that may include intermediate frequency band frequencies, within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1 and / or FR5, or within the EHF band.

[0038] Base station 102 (whether a small cell 102' or a large cell (e.g., a macro base station)) may include and / or be referred to as an eNB, gNodeB (gNB), or another type of base station. Some base stations (such as gNB 180) may operate in conventional sub-6 GHz spectrum, millimeter wave frequencies, and / or near-millimeter wave frequencies to communicate with UE 104. When gNB 180 operates in millimeter wave or near-millimeter wave frequencies, gNB 180 may be referred to as a millimeter wave base station. Millimeter wave base station 180 may utilize beamforming 182 with UE 104 to compensate for extremely high path loss and short range. Base station 180 and UE 104 may each include multiple antennas (such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and / or antenna arrays) to facilitate beamforming.

[0039] Base station 180 may transmit beamforming signals to UE in one or more transmit directions 182'. UE 104 may receive beamforming signals from base station 180 in one or more receive directions 182'. UE 104 may also transmit beamforming signals to base station 180 in one or more transmit directions. Base station 180 may receive beamforming signals from UE 104 in one or more receive directions. Base station 180 / UE 104 may perform beamforming training to determine the optimal receive and transmit directions for each of base station 180 / UE 104. The transmit and receive directions for base station 180 may be the same or different. The transmit and receive directions for UE 104 may be the same or different.

[0040] EPC 160 may include Mobility Management Entity (MME) 162, other MMEs 164, Serving Gateway 166, Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) Gateway 168, Broadcast Multicast Service Center (BM-SC) 170, and Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway 172. MME 162 can communicate with Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 174. MME 162 is the control node that handles signaling between UE 104 and EPC 160. Generally, MME 162 provides bearer and connection management. All user Internet Protocol (IP) packets are transmitted through Serving Gateway 166, which is itself connected to PDN Gateway 172. PDN Gateway 172 provides IP address allocation and other functions for the UE. PDN Gateway 172 and BM-SC 170 are connected to IP Service 176. IP Service 176 may include the Internet, intranet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), PS streaming service, and / or other IP services. The BM-SC 170 provides functions for setting up and transmitting MBMS user services. The BM-SC 170 can serve as an entry point for MBMS transmissions to content providers, authorize and initiate MBMS bearer services within a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and schedule MBMS transmissions. The MBMS gateway 168 can allocate MBMS services to base stations 102 belonging to Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) areas belonging to Broadcast Specific Services (MBSFN), and can be responsible for session management (start / stop) and collecting billing information related to eMBMS.

[0041] Core network 190 may include Access and Mobility Management Function Unit (AMF) 192, other AMFs 193, Session Management Function Unit (SMF) 194, and User Plane Function Unit (UPF) 195. AMF 192 can communicate with Unified Data Management Unit (UDM) 196. AMF 192 is the control node for processing signaling between UE 104 and core network 190. Typically, AMF 192 provides QoS flow and session management. All user Internet Protocol (IP) packets are transmitted through UPF 195. UPF 195 provides IP address allocation and other functions to the UE. UPF 195 connects to IP service 197. IP service 197 may include the Internet, intranet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Packet Switched (PS) Streaming (PSS) service, and / or other IP services.

[0042] Base stations may also include and / or be referred to as gNB, Node B, eNB, access point, base transceiver, wireless base station, wireless transceiver, transceiver function, Basic Services Set (BSS), Extended Services Set (ESS), Transmitter Receiver Point (TRP), or some other suitable term. Base station 102 provides UE 104 with access to EPC 160 or core network 190. Examples of UE 104 include cellular phones, smartphones, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), satellite radios, GPS devices, multimedia devices, video devices, digital audio players (e.g., MP3 players), cameras, game consoles, tablets, smart devices, wearable devices, vehicles, electricity meters, air pumps, large or small kitchen appliances, healthcare devices, implants, sensors / actuators, displays, or any other similarly functional devices. Some UEs in UE 104 may be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking meters, air pumps, toasters, heart monitors, etc.). UE 104 may also be referred to by those skilled in the art as a station, mobile station, user station, mobile unit, user unit, radio unit, remote unit, mobile device, radio device, wireless communication device, remote device, mobile user station, access terminal, mobile terminal, radio terminal, remote terminal, handheld device, user agent, mobile client, client, or any other suitable term. In some scenarios, the term UE may also be applied to one or more accompanying devices, such as accompanying devices in a device constellation arrangement. One or more of these devices may jointly access the network and / or individually access the network.

[0043] Refer again Figure 1In some aspects, UE 104 may include a communication interleaving component 198 configured to establish a connection with base station 180. The communication interleaving component 198 may also be configured to receive at least one interleaving indication from base station 180, the at least one interleaving indication including a downlink interleaving offset for downlink communication and an uplink interleaving offset for uplink communication, wherein the downlink communication is XR, VR, or AR downlink communication, and the uplink communication is XR, VR, or AR uplink communication. The communication interleaving component 198 may also be configured to communicate with base station 180 via downlink communication or uplink communication based on the uplink interleaving offset and the downlink interleaving offset. In some aspects, base station 180 may include a communication interleaving and indication component 199. The communication interleaving and indication component 199 may be configured to establish a connection with UE 104. The communication interleaving and indication component 199 can also be configured to send at least one interleaving indication to the UE 104, the at least one interleaving indication including a downlink interleaving offset for downlink communication and an uplink interleaving offset for uplink communication, wherein the downlink communication is XR, VR, or AR downlink communication, and the uplink communication is XR, VR, or AR uplink communication. The communication interleaving and indication component 199 can also be configured to communicate with the UE 104 via downlink communication or uplink communication based on the uplink interleaving offset and the downlink interleaving offset.

[0044] Although the following description may focus on 5G NR, the concepts described herein can be applied to other similar fields, such as LTE, LTE-A, CDMA, GSM and other wireless technologies.

[0045] Figure 2A Figure 200 shows an example of the first subframe within a 5G / NR frame structure. Figure 2B Figure 230 shows an example of a DL channel within a 5G / NR subframe. Figure 2C Figure 250 shows an example of a second subframe within a 5G / NR frame structure. Figure 2D Figure 280 illustrates an example of a UL channel within a 5G / NR subframe. The 5G / NR frame structure can be Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) (where subframes within a specific set of subcarriers (carrier system bandwidth) are dedicated to either DL or UL) or Time Division Duplex (TDD) (where subframes within a specific set of subcarriers (carrier system bandwidth) are dedicated to both DL and UL). Figure 2A , 2CIn the provided example, assuming the 5G / NR frame structure is TDD, subframe 4 is configured with slot format 28 (mostly DL), where D is DL, U is UL, and F is flexibly used between DL and UL, and subframe 3 is configured with slot format 1 (all UL). Although subframes 3 and 4 are shown using slot formats 1 and 28 respectively, any particular subframe can be configured with any of the various available slot formats 0-61. Slot formats 0 and 1 are all DL and all UL, respectively. Other slot formats 2-61 include a mixture of DL, UL, and flexible symbols. The UE is configured with a slot format via the received Slot Format Indicator (SFI) (dynamically via DL Control Information (DCI) or semi-statically / statically via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling). Note that the following description also applies to the 5G / NR frame structure as TDD.

[0046] Figure 2A-2D The frame structure is illustrated, and aspects of this disclosure are applicable to other wireless communication technologies that may have different frame structures and / or different channels. A frame (10 ms) can be divided into 10 equal-sized subframes (1 ms). Each subframe may include one or more time slots. Subframes may also include micro-time slots, which may include 7, 4, or 2 symbols. Each time slot may include 14 or 12 symbols, depending on whether the cyclic prefix (CP) is normal or extended. For normal CP, each time slot may include 14 symbols, and for extended CP, each time slot may include 12 symbols. Symbols on the DL may be CP Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) symbols. Symbols on the UL may be CP-OFDM symbols (for high-throughput scenarios) or Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbols (also known as Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols) (for power-constrained scenarios; limited to single-stream transmission). The number of time slots within a subframe can be based on CP and a digital scheme (numerology). The digital scheme defines the subcarrier spacing (SCS) and, in effect, the symbol length / duration (which can be equal to 1 / SCS).

[0047] μ <![CDATA[SCSΔf=2 μ ·15[kHz]]]> Cyclic prefix 0 15 ordinary 1 30 ordinary 2 60 Normal, Extended 3 120 ordinary 4 240 ordinary

[0048] For a standard CP (14 symbols / slot), different digital schemes μ0 through 4 allow 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 slots per subframe, respectively. For an extended CP, digital scheme 2 allows 4 slots per subframe. Accordingly, for both the standard CP and digital scheme μ, there are 14 symbols / slot and 2 slots per subframe. μ One time slot / subframe. The subcarrier spacing can be equal to 2. μ*15kHz, where μ is the digital scheme from 0 to 4. Therefore, digital scheme μ = 0 has a subcarrier spacing of 15kHz, and digital scheme μ = 4 has a subcarrier spacing of 240kHz. The symbol length / duration is inversely related to the subcarrier spacing. Figure 2A-2D Examples are provided for a standard CP (with 14 symbols per time slot) and a digital scheme μ=2 (with 4 time slots per subframe). The time slot duration is 0.25 ms, the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz, and the symbol duration is approximately 16.67 μs. Within a frame set, one or more distinct bandwidth portions (BWPs) of frequency division multiplexing can exist (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 2B Each BWP can have a specific digital scheme and CP (normal or extended).

[0049] A resource grid can be used to represent the frame structure. Each time slot includes a resource block (RB) (also known as a physical RB (PRB)), which consists of 12 consecutive subcarriers. The resource grid is divided into multiple resource elements (REs). The number of bits carried by each RE depends on the modulation scheme.

[0050] like Figure 2A As shown, some of the REs carry reference (pilot) signals (RS) for the UE. RS may include demodulation RS (DM-RS) for channel estimation at the UE (indicated as R for a specific configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) and channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS). RS may also include beam measurement RS (BRS), beam refinement RS (BRRS), and phase tracking RS (PT-RS).

[0051] Figure 2BExamples of various DL channels within a subframe of a frame are shown. The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) carries DCI within one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs) (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 CCEs), each CCE comprising six RE Groups (REGs), each REG comprising 12 consecutive REs in the OFDM symbol of the RB. The PDCCH within a BWP can be referred to as a Control Resource Set (CORESET). The UE is configured to monitor PDCCH candidates in a PDCCH search space (e.g., a common search space, a UE-specific search space) during PDCCH monitoring on the CORESET, where the PDCCH candidates have different DCI formats and different aggregation levels. Additional BWPs can span the channel bandwidth at larger and / or lower frequencies. The Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) can be within symbol 2 of a specific subframe of the frame. The PSS is used by UE 104 to determine subframe / symbol timing and physical layer identity. The Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) can be within symbol 4 of a specific subframe of the frame. The SSS is used by the UE to determine the Physical Layer Cell Identity Group Number and radio frame timing. Based on the Physical Layer Identity and Physical Layer Cell Identity Group Number, the UE can determine the Physical Cell Identifier (PCI). Based on the PCI, the UE can determine the location of the DM-RS. The Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) (which carries the Master Information Block (MIB)) can be logically grouped with the PSS and SSS to form a Synchronization Signal (SS) / PBCH block (also known as an SS block (SSB)). The MIB provides the number of RBs in the system bandwidth and the System Frame Number (SFN). The Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carries user data, broadcast system information not transmitted via the PBCH (e.g., System Information Block (SIB)), and paging messages.

[0052] like Figure 2C As shown, some REs in the REs carry DM-RS for channel estimation at the base station (indicated as R for a specific configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible). The UE can transmit DM-RS for the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and DM-RS for the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). The PUSCH DM-RS can be transmitted in the first one or two symbols preceding the PUSCH. The PUCCH DM-RS can be transmitted in different configurations depending on whether a short or long PUCCH is transmitted and the specific PUCCH format used. The UE can transmit a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). The SRS can be transmitted in the last symbol of a subframe. The SRS can have a comb structure, and the UE can transmit the SRS on one of the combs. The SRS can be used by the base station for channel quality estimation to enable frequency-dependent scheduling on the UL.

[0053] Figure 2D Examples of various UL channels within a subframe of a frame are shown. The PUCCH can be positioned as indicated in a configuration. The PUCCH carries uplink control information (UCI), such as scheduling requests, channel quality indicators (CQI), precoding matrix indicators (PMI), rank indicators (RI), and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) feedback (i.e., one or more HARQ ACK bits indicating one or more ACKs and / or negative ACKs (NACKs). The PUCCH carries data and may additionally be used to carry buffer status reports (BSR), power headroom reports (PHR), and / or UCIs.

[0054] Figure 3 This is a block diagram of base station 310 communicating with UE 350 in the access network. In the DL, IP packets from EPC 160 can be provided to controller / processor 375. Controller / processor 375 implements Layer 3 and Layer 2 functions. Layer 3 includes the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, and Layer 2 includes the Serving Data Adaptive Protocol (SDAP) layer, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The controller / processor 375 provides: RRC layer functions associated with: broadcasting system information (e.g., MIB, SIB), RRC connection control (e.g., RRC connection paging, RRC connection establishment, RRC connection modification, and RRC connection release), inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) mobility, and measurement configuration for UE measurement reporting; PDCP layer functions associated with: header compression / decompression, security (encryption, decryption, integrity protection, integrity verification), and handover support functions; RLC layer functions associated with: transmission of upper-layer packet data units (PDUs), error correction via ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs), resegmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functions associated with: mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs to transport blocks (TBs), and MAC... SDU performs demultiplexing of TB, scheduling information reporting, error correction via HARQ, priority processing, and logical channel prioritization.

[0055] Transmit (TX) processor 316 and receive (RX) processor 370 implement Layer 1 functions associated with various signal processing functions. Layer 1, including the physical (PHY) layer, may include error detection on the transport channel, forward error correction (FEC) encoding / decoding of the transport channel, interleaving, rate matching, mapping to the physical channel, modulation / demodulation of the physical channel, and MIMO antenna processing. TX processor 316 processes the mapping to the signal constellation based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-phase phase shift keying (M-PSK), and M-order quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The encoded and modulated symbols can then be divided into parallel streams. Each stream can then be mapped to OFDM subcarriers, multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and subsequently combined using inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying a stream of time-domain OFDM symbols. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded to generate multiple spatial streams. Channel estimates from channel estimator 374 can be used to determine coding and modulation schemes and for spatial processing. The channel estimates can be derived from a reference signal and / or channel condition feedback transmitted by UE 350. Each spatial stream is then provided to a different antenna 320 via a separate transmitter 318TX. Each transmitter 318TX can use its respective spatial stream to modulate a radio frequency (RF) carrier for transmission.

[0056] At UE 350, each receiver 354RX receives signals via its respective antenna 352. Each receiver 354RX recovers the information modulated onto the RF carrier and provides the information to the receive (RX) processor 356. The TX processor 368 and RX processor 356 implement Layer 1 functions associated with various signal processing functions. The RX processor 356 can perform spatial processing on the information to recover any spatial stream destined for UE 350. If multiple spatial streams are destined for UE 350, the RX processor 356 can combine them into a single OFDM symbol stream. Subsequently, the RX processor 356 uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to transform the OFDM symbol stream from the time domain to the frequency domain. The frequency domain signal consists of a separate OFDM symbol stream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols on each subcarrier, along with the reference signal, are recovered and demodulated by determining the most probable signal constellation point transmitted by base station 310. These soft decisions can be based on the channel estimate calculated by channel estimator 358. Subsequently, the soft decision is decoded and deinterleaved to recover the data and control signals originally transmitted by base station 310 on the physical channel. The data and control signals are then provided to controller / processor 359, which implements layer 3 and layer 2 functions.

[0057] The controller / processor 359 may be associated with a memory 360 that stores program code and data. The memory 360 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller / processor 359 provides demultiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between transport and logical channels to recover IP packets from the EPC 160. The controller / processor 359 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0058] Similar to the functions described by the DL transmission of base station 310, controller / processor 359 provides: RRC layer functions associated with: system information (e.g., MIB, SIB) acquisition, RRC connection and test reporting; PDCP layer functions associated with: header compression / decompression and security (encryption, decryption, integrity protection, integrity verification); RLC layer functions associated with: transmission of upper-layer PDUs, error correction via ARQ, concatenation, segmentation and reassembly of RLC SDUs, resegmentation of RLC data PDUs and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functions associated with: mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs to TBs, demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction via HARQ, priority processing and logical channel prioritization.

[0059] The channel estimate derived by the channel estimator 358 from the reference signal or feedback transmitted by the base station 310 can be used by the TX processor 368 to select appropriate coding and modulation schemes, as well as to facilitate spatial processing. The spatial stream generated by the TX processor 368 can be provided to different antennas 352 via separate transmitters 354TX. Each transmitter 354TX can use its own spatial stream to modulate an RF carrier for transmission.

[0060] UL transmission is handled at base station 310 in a manner similar to that described in conjunction with the receiver function at UE 350. Each receiver 318RX receives signals via its respective antenna 320. Each receiver 318RX recovers the information modulated onto the RF carrier and provides the information to RX processor 370.

[0061] The controller / processor 375 may be associated with a memory 376 that stores program code and data. The memory 376 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller / processor 375 provides demultiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between transport and logical channels to recover IP packets from the UE 350. IP packets from the controller / processor 375 may be provided to the EPC 160. The controller / processor 375 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0062] At least one of the TX processor 368, RX processor 356, and controller / processor 359 can be configured to perform and Figure 1 The communication interleaving component 198 relates to various aspects.

[0063] At least one of the TX processor 316, RX processor 370, and controller / processor 375 can be configured to perform operations related to... Figure 1 The communication interleaving and indication components 199 relate to various aspects.

[0064] In some wireless communication systems, XR, AR, and VR applications can be integrated and supported. XR can refer to all real and virtual combined environments and human-computer interactions generated by computer technology and wearable devices such as AR, Mixed Reality (MR), and VR. XR data services can be periodic, and XR communication can be downlink or uplink. For downlink XR communication, the data rate can be medium to high, and downlink XR communication can conform to latency specifications. For uplink XR communication, the data rate may not be as high as that of downlink XR communication, but uplink XR communication may still conform to latency specifications. This paper provides methods, apparatus, and computer program products for potentially reducing latency. As provided herein, randomizing the arrival times of uplink and downlink data services by introducing interleaved offsets (with durations) for uplink and downlink communication can help mitigate data queue establishment. Randomization can also reduce interference because communication is more dispersed in time. Reducing interference can reduce the probability of erroneous communication. For example, for a base station serving ten indoor UEs, the interleaving offset provided in this paper can increase the percentage of UEs delivering 99% of their files before the Packet Delay Budget (PDB) by 20%. For a base station serving 15 outdoor UEs within 100 meters, the interleaving offset provided in this paper can increase the percentage of UEs delivering 99% of their files before the PDB by 10%.

[0065] Figure 4 Example communication 400 between UE 402 and base station 404 is shown. (e.g.) Figure 4As shown, UE 402 can connect to XR device 408 and can send / receive downlink and uplink XR communication to / from base station 404. For example... Figure 4 As shown, base station 404 and UE 402 can establish an XR connection 410. In some aspects, UE 402 and base station 404 may have already established an RRC connection before establishing the XR connection 410 for exchanging XR data. UE 402 and base station 404 can be configured to randomize uplink and downlink traffic arrival rates on a per base station or per network basis. To facilitate randomization of uplink and downlink traffic arrival rates, the base station can send one or more interleaving offsets to UE 402 in an interleaving indication 422. The interleaving offsets may include uplink interleaving offsets for interleaved uplink communication and downlink interleaving offsets for interleaved downlink communication. In some aspects, the interleaving offsets may include uplink interleaving offsets for interleaved uplink communication and may not include downlink interleaving offsets.

[0066] For per-base station randomization, in some aspects, base station 404 may send an interleaving indication via RRC signaling. For example, base station 404 may interleave the submission of the first XR communication of UE 402 within a time slot or frame. Based on the first XR communication, subsequent UE communications may be interleaved based on their arrival time at the RLC layer. Base station 404 may submit those services to the Media Access Control (MAC) / Physical (PHY) layer at a time instant randomly selected within N time slots or N frames (where N ≥ 1). In some aspects, the base station may send an interleaving request 412 via an application, indicating that XR downlink / uplink communications will be offset based on one or more randomly selected values ​​within N time slots or N frames (where N ≥ 1). UE 402 may send an approval 414 to the interleaving request 412. During XR connection 410, base station 404 may choose to send one or more offsets to the UE 402 application or used by base station 404 as a downlink interleaving offset or an uplink interleaving offset. In some aspects, the base station can signal the maximum offset duration in the SIB (e.g., in interleaving information 450), and the UE can report the maximum offset duration to the XR application.

[0067] Regarding network randomization, in some aspects, base station 404 can coordinate with one or more other base stations 406N so that different base stations can be using different interleaved offsets. In some aspects, base station 404 and one or more other base stations 406N can coordinate and agree on interleaved scheduling including one or more interleaved offsets 418, wherein each base station is associated with one or more offsets having a defined duration, said one or more offsets not overlapping with offsets associated with another base station. In some aspects, UE 402 can be configured to report to the specific cell to which UE 402 is connected (e.g., base station 404) the randomization pattern (e.g., interleaved and non-interleaved) used by neighboring cells and the interleaved offset 416 used by neighboring cells. Base station 404 may attempt to avoid the randomization pattern and interleaved offset 416 used by neighboring cells.

[0068] Figure 5 Example 500 of interleaved scheduling is shown. Figure 5 As shown, one or more offset durations 502A, 502B, and 502C that do not overlap with each other may be associated with base stations 510, 520, and M. In some aspects, one or more offset durations 504A / 506A associated with base station 510, one or more offset durations 504B / 506B associated with base station 520, and one or more offset durations 504C / 506C associated with base station M may be interleaved.
