[0002] This patent application claims U.S. Patent Application No. 17 / 107,703, filed on November 30, 2020, entitled “USER EQUIPMENT REPORTING FORFULL DUPLEX MULTI-BEAM SELECTION”, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.

[0003] open field

[0004] Various aspects of this disclosure generally relate to wireless communications, and specifically to techniques and apparatus for user equipment reporting for full-duplex multi-beam selection. Background Technology

[0005] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is an enhancement set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0006] A wireless network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication between several user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the base stations (BSs) via downlinks and uplinks. A downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while an uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a B-node, gNB, access point (AP), radio headend, transmit / receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G B-node, etc.

[0007] The multiple access technologies mentioned above have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. New Radio (NR) (also known as 5G) is an enhancement set to the LTE mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with a Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL), and CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation to improve spectral efficiency, reduce costs, improve service, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In some aspects, a non-transient computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication includes one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, cause the UE to: determine, at least in part, a recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation based on measurements of a set of base station transmit beams and measurements of self-interference associated with the set of base station transmit beams; and transmit a report indicating a recommendation to use one or more beams from the recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation.

[0025] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function given throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or method of practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatus or methods practiced using additional structures, functionalities, or structures and functionalities that complement or supplement the various aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be implemented by one or more elements of the claims.

[0026] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and explained in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

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

[0028] Figure 1This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to various aspects of this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, etc., or may include elements thereof. The wireless network 100 may include several base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, B-node, gNB, 5G B-node (NB), access point, transmit / receive point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0029] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. Macrocells can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access by UEs with a service subscription. Picocells can cover a relatively small geographic area and allow unrestricted access by UEs with a service subscription. Femtocells can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and allow restricted access by UEs associated with that femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS used for picocells may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “B node,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0030] In some respects, the cell may not be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces, such as direct physical connections or virtual networks, using any suitable transport network.

[0031] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity capable of receiving data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and transmitting those data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, etc.

[0032] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0033] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a set of BSs and can provide coordination and control over these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with each BS via backhaul. These BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly, for example, via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0034] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop computer, cordless phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, tablet, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or equipment, biometric sensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device, or satellite radio), vehicle component or sensor, smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0035] Some UEs can be considered machine-type communication (MTC) devices, or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, instruments, monitors, and / or location tags that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes can provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network, such as the Internet or a cellular network) via wired or wireless communication links, for example. Some UEs can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be considered customer premises equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included within a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0036] Generally, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0037] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary). For example, UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In this scenario, UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as performed by base station 110.

[0038] Devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) and / or an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2), the first frequency range (FR1) spanning from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz and the second frequency range (FR2) spanning from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequency bands. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as the "sub-6 GHz band." Similarly, although different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz – 300 GHz) designated as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), FR2 is often referred to as the "millimeter wave" band. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, if used herein, the terms sub-6 GHz, etc., can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, if used herein, the terms "millimeter wave," etc., can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is conceivable that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 can be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0039] As indicated above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to various aspects of this disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, while the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein generally T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0041] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data destined for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from each UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data destined for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, where applicable, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively.

[0042] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on these received symbols where applicable, and provide detected symbols. Receiver processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) these detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. "The channel processor can determine the Reference Received Power (RSRP) parameter, the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameter, the Reference Received Quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) parameter, etc. In some respects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing."

Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element assemblies and / or non-coplanar antenna element assemblies. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or multiple antenna elements within housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include elements coupled to one or more transmission and / or reception components (such as...). Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0045] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 may be pre-encoded by TX MIMO processor 266 where applicable, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, modulators and demodulators (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of UE 120 may be included in the modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modulator and / or demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receiver processor 258, transmitter processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 4 , Figure 5A , Figure 5B and Figure 5C (as described).

[0046] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 where applicable, and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide the decoded data to data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule downlink and / or uplink communications of UE 120. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 232) of base station 110 may be included in the modem of base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 includes transceiver. The transceiver may include (such as) antenna 234, modulator and / or demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receiver processor 238, transmitter processor 220, and / or any combination of TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 4 , Figure 5A , Figure 5B and Figure 5C (as described).

[0047] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with user equipment reporting for full-duplex multi-beam selection, as described in more detail elsewhere herein.

In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include: a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly executed, or executed after compilation, transformation, and / or interpretation), the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 may cause the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 6 Process 600 Figure 7 The operation of process 700, and / or other processes described herein. In some aspects, the execution instructions may include run instructions, translate instructions, compile instructions, and / or interpret instructions, etc.

Means for the base station to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of a transmit processor 220, a TX MIMO processor 230, a modulator 232, an antenna 234, a demodulator 232, a MIMO detector 236, a receive processor 238, a controller / processor 240, a memory 242, or a scheduler 246.

[0057] In some aspects, the base station includes means for transmitting resource allocation for self-interference measurements performed by a UE using a UE receive beam set associated with the base station transmit beam set.

[0058] In some aspects, the base station includes means for transmitting configuration information that instructs the UE to: generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the UE transmit beams and UE receive beams, based at least in part on measuring self-interference for multiple UE receive beams and multiple UE transmit beams using these resources.

[0059] In some aspects, a base station includes means for transmitting resource allocation via one or more of radio resource control signaling or media access control signaling.

[0060] In some aspects, the base station includes means for transmitting a reference signal via a set of beams transmitted by the base station for measurement by a UE using multiple UE receive beams.

[0061] In some aspects, the base station includes means for transmitting configuration information that instructs the UE to: generate, at least in part, a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the base station transmit beam and the UE receive beam, based on reference signals transmitted using multiple UE receive beam measurements.

[0062] In some aspects, the base station includes means for transmitting configuration information that instructs the UE to determine a recommended set of base station transmit beams based at least in part on: a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the UE transmit beams and the UE receive beams, and a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the base station transmit beams and the UE receive beams.

[0063] although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are interpreted as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented using a single hardware component, software component, or combination of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280 or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0064] As indicated above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.

[0065] Figure 3 These are illustrations of examples 300, 310, and 320 illustrating beam management procedures according to various aspects of this disclosure. For example... Figure 3 As shown, Examples 300, 310, and 320 include a UE communicating with a base station in a wireless network (e.g., wireless network 100). However, Figure 3The device shown is provided as an example, and the wireless network can support communication and beam management between other devices (e.g., between a UE and a base station or TRP, between a mobile termination node and a control node, between an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) sub-node and an IAB parent node, between a scheduled node and a scheduling node, etc.). In some aspects, the UE and the base station can be in a connected state (e.g., a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state, etc.).

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, Example 300 may include a base station and a UE communicating to perform beam management using a reference signal (e.g., a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS)). Example 300 depicts a first beam management procedure (e.g., P1 beam management). The first beam management procedure may be referred to as a beam selection procedure, an initial beam acquisition procedure, a beam sweep procedure, a cell search procedure, a beam search procedure, etc. Figure 3 As shown in Example 300, CSI-RS can be configured to be transmitted from the base station to the UE. CSI-RS can be configured to be periodic (e.g., using RRC signaling, etc.), semi-persistent (e.g., using Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (MAC-CE) signaling, etc.) and / or non-periodic (e.g., using Downlink Control Information (DCI), etc.).

[0067] The first beam management procedure may include the base station performing beam sweeping on multiple transmit (Tx) beams. The base station can use each transmit beam to transmit CSI-RS for beam management. To enable the UE to perform receive (Rx) beam sweeping, the base station can use the transmit beam to transmit (e.g., with repetition) each CSI-RS at multiple times within the same reference signal (RS) resource set, so that the UE can sweep via the receive beam in multiple transmission instances. For example, if the base station has a set of N transmit beams and the UE has a set of M receive beams, CSI-RS can be transmitted M times on each of the N transmit beams, so that the UE can receive M instances of CSI-RS per transmit beam. In other words, for each transmit beam of the base station, the UE can perform beam sweeping via the UE's receive beam. As a result, the first beam management procedure enables the UE to use different receive beams to measure CSI-RS on different transmit beams, supporting the selection of beam pairs of base station transmit beams / UE(x) receive beams. The UE can report measurements to the base station so that the base station can select one or more beam pairs for communication between the base station and the UE. Although Example 300 has been described in conjunction with CSI-RS, the first beam management procedure can also use a synchronization signal block (SSB) to perform beam management in a similar manner as described above.

[0068] like Figure 3As shown, Example 310 may include a base station and a UE communicating to perform beam management using CSI-RS. Example 310 depicts a second beam management procedure (e.g., P2 beam management). The second beam management procedure may be referred to as a beam refinement procedure, a base station beam refinement procedure, a TRP beam refinement procedure, and / or a transmit beam refinement procedure, etc. Figure 3 As shown in Example 310, CSI-RS can be configured to be transmitted from the base station to the UE. CSI-RS can be configured to be aperiodic (e.g., using DCI, etc.). A second beam management procedure may include the base station performing beam sweeping on one or more transmit beams. These one or more transmit beams may be a subset of all transmit beams associated with the base station (e.g., determined at least in part based on measurements reported by the UE in conjunction with the first beam management procedure). The base station may use each of the one or more transmit beams to transmit CSI-RS for beam management. The UE may use a single (e.g., the same) receive beam (determined at least in part based on measurements performed in conjunction with the first beam management procedure) to measure each CSI-RS. The second beam management procedure enables the base station to select the optimal transmit beam at least in part based on measurements of the CSI-RS reported by the UE using a single receive beam.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, Example 320 depicts a third beam management procedure (e.g., P3 beam management). The third beam management procedure may be referred to as a beam refinement procedure, a UE beam refinement procedure, a receive beam refinement procedure, etc. Figure 3 As shown in Example 320, one or more CSI-RS can be configured to be transmitted from a base station to a UE. The CSI-RS can be configured to be non-periodic (e.g., using DCI, etc.). The third beam management procedure may include the base station transmitting one or more CSI-RS on a single transmit beam (e.g., determined at least in part based on measurements reported by the UE in conjunction with the first and / or second beam management procedures). To enable the UE to perform receive beam sweeping, the base station may use the transmit beam to transmit (e.g., with repetition) CSI-RS at multiple times within the same RS resource set so that the UE can sweep through one or more receive beams in multiple transmission instances. The one or more receive beams may be a subset of all receive beams associated with the UE (e.g., determined at least in part based on measurements performed in conjunction with the first and / or second beam management procedures). The third beam management procedure may enable the base station and / or the UE to select the optimal receive beam at least in part based on reported measurements received from the UE (e.g., reported measurements of the CSI-RS of the transmit beam using the one or more receive beams).

[0070] As indicated above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example of a beam management procedure. Other examples of beam management procedures may differ from those provided above. Figure 3 Examples described. For instance, the UE and base station may execute a third beam management procedure before executing a second beam management procedure, or the UE and base station may execute a similar beam management procedure to select the UE's transmit beam, and so on.

[0071] As part of a beam management procedure (e.g., P2 beam management), the UE can measure reference signals transmitted using various base station transmit beams. The UE can transmit a report, at least in part, based on the measurement of the reference signals, indicating one or more preferred base station transmit beams for subsequent transmissions by the base station. Additionally, the UE can use multiple UE receive beams (e.g., P3 beam management) to measure one or more reference signals transmitted by the base station using base station transmit beams. Based at least in part on the measurement of these one or more reference signals, the UE can determine the UE receive beam to be paired with the base station transmit beam (e.g., for receiving transmissions transmitted using the base station transmit beam from the base station).

[0072] Based at least in part on the fact that the base station and the UE are configured to communicate in full-duplex mode, the UE may indicate the first preferred base station transmit beam and the second preferred base station transmit beam based at least in part on measurements of reference signals. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine, at least in part on measurements of one or more reference signals, a first UE receive beam to be paired with the first preferred base station transmit beam and a second UE receive beam to be paired with the second preferred base station transmit beam.

[0073] However, the UE may determine, at least in part, to indicate the first preferred base station transmit beam and / or the second preferred base station transmit beam based on independent measurements of reference signals transmitted via the first preferred base station transmit beam and / or the second preferred base station transmit beam. In some aspects, the base station may use the first preferred base station transmit beam to transmit signals in full-duplex operation and may use a receive beam reciprocal to the second preferred base station transmit beam to receive signals.

[0074] The determination, based at least in part on independent measurements of a reference signal, may result in an indication of a first preferred base station transmit beam, which may have interference (e.g., self-interference) with communications using a second preferred base station transmit beam. This may result in interference and / or a reduced signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), which may result in an increased error rate and / or reduced spectral efficiency (e.g., based at least in part on the use of a relatively low MCS), and so on.

[0075] In some aspects described herein, the UE can measure the base station transmit beam set and / or generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of base station transmit beams and UE receive beams. The UE can also measure self-interference for multiple UE receive beams and multiple UE transmit beams, at least in part, based on the simultaneous transmission and reception of reference signals using resources allocated by the base station. The UE can determine the recommended base station transmit beam (e.g., optimized for full-duplex multi-beam communication) based at least in part on measurements of self-interference beam relationships (e.g., self-interference between UE receive beams and UE transmit beams) and at least in part on inter-beam interference of the base station transmit beams to the UE receive beam (e.g., joint quasi-co-location (QCL)). The UE can transmit a report indicating the use of one or more of the recommended base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation, based at least in part on the inter-spatial and intra-spatial separation of the recommended base station transmit beams.

[0076] In this way, the UE can recommend beams for full-duplex operation that have relatively good beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the base station transmit beam and the UE receive beam (e.g., high RSRP) and relatively good beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the UE transmit beam and the UE receive beam (e.g., relatively low measured interference and / or relatively high SINR, etc.). This can improve the error rate of communication in full-duplex operation, reduce the consumption of computational resources for detecting and correcting errors, improve spectral efficiency (e.g., at least in part based on using a relatively high MCS), and / or reduce the consumption of network resources that might otherwise be used for communication at a relatively low MCS.

[0077] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating example 400 associated with a user equipment report for full-duplex multi-beam selection, according to various aspects of this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 4 As shown, a UE (e.g., UE 120) may communicate with a base station (e.g., base station 110). The UE and the base station may be part of a wireless network (e.g., wireless network 100). In some respects, the UE and the base station may perform one or more beam management procedures.

[0078] As indicated by reference numeral 405 in the accompanying drawings, the base station can transmit configuration information, and the UE can receive configuration information. In some aspects, the UE can receive configuration information from another device (e.g., from another base station, a TRP associated with the base station, and / or another UE, etc.), and / or communication standards, and other examples. In some aspects, the UE can receive configuration information via one or more of RRC signaling or MAC-CE signaling, and / or the UE can determine the configuration information according to the communication standard, etc. In some aspects, the configuration information may include: indications of one or more configuration parameters selected by the UE (e.g., those already known to the UE), explicit configuration information for the UE to use to configure the UE, etc.

[0079] In some aspects, the configuration information may include beam management configuration information associated with beam management operations. For example, beam management configuration information may include instructions for the UE to perform beam management operations, resource allocation for performing beam management operations, and / or indications regarding the association of beam management operations with full-duplex operations, etc.

[0080] In some aspects, configuration information may instruct the UE to measure reference signals transmitted via multiple base station transmit beams (e.g., as part of beam management operations). For example, configuration information may instruct the UE to simultaneously use multiple UE receive beams to measure the reference signals. In some aspects, configuration information may instruct the UE to generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of base station transmit beams and UE receive beams, based at least in part on the measurement of the reference signals transmitted via the multiple base station transmit beams.

[0081] In some aspects, the configuration information may instruct the UE to use a set of UE receive beams associated with the plurality of base station transmit beams to receive resource allocations for self-interference measurements. In some aspects, the configuration information may instruct the UE to generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of UE transmit beams and UE receive beams, at least in part based on the use of resources allocated by the base stations to measure self-interference for the plurality of UE receive beams and the plurality of UE transmit beams.

[0082] In some respects, configuration information may instruct the UE to determine, at least in part, a recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation based on measurements of the base station transmit beam set and measurements of self-interference associated with that set (e.g., the UE transmit beam and the UE receive beam). For example, the UE may determine that a first base station transmit beam is recommended for downlink communication and a second base station transmit beam is recommended for uplink communication (e.g., using a reciprocal uplink beam).

[0083] As indicated by reference numeral 410 in the accompanying drawings, the UE can be configured to communicate with a base station. In some aspects, the UE can be configured at least in part based on configuration information. In some aspects, the UE can be configured to perform one or more of the operations described herein.

[0084] As shown by reference numeral 415 in the attached figure, a base station can transmit, and a UE can measure, reference signals transmitted via multiple base station transmit beams. In some aspects, the base station may use beam-sweeping operations to transmit reference signals, or time-division multiplex different base station beams to transmit these reference signals. The reference signals may include one or more of CSI-RS or SSB. The measurement may include, for example, the measurement of RSRP of the reference signals received by the multiple UE receive beams.

[0085] In some respects, the UE can simultaneously use multiple UE receive beams to measure these reference signals. For example, the UE can simultaneously use multiple antenna groups to sense (e.g., attempt to receive) a single reference signal. Additionally or alternatively, the UE can use an Asia-Pacific Hertz (sub-THz) array of antenna elements to simultaneously operate multiple receive beams to sense the reference signal. For example, the UE can be configured to use multiple beams in a single antenna array (e.g., using a Butler matrix and / or other components of the UE) to simultaneously sense the reference signal.

[0086] As shown by reference numeral 420 in the attached figure, the UE can generate a set of beam measurement parameters based on measurements of reference signals transmitted via the multiple base station beams. For example, the UE can generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with a pair of base station transmit beams and UE receive beams, at least in part, based on measuring reference signals transmitted via multiple base station transmit beams using multiple UE receive beams. The UE can store this set of beam measurement parameters in a matrix, table, list, ranked list, and / or other formatted storage file.

[0087] As shown by reference numeral 425 in the attached figure, the UE can receive and the base station can transmit resource allocations (e.g., time-frequency resources) for self-interference (SI) measurements. In some aspects, the resource allocations for SI measurements can be associated with new beam management procedures (e.g., in addition to P1 beam management, P2 beam management, and P3 beam management). The base station can transmit these resource allocations via RRC signaling and / or MAC signaling, etc.

[0088] In some implementations, the base station may transmit the resource allocation based at least in part on receiving an indication (e.g., from the UE) that the UE supports full-duplex operation. The amount of these resources may be based at least in part on the number of panels and / or receive beams associated with the UE.

[0089] As shown by reference numeral 430 in the figure, the UE can measure self-interference with multiple UE receive beams and multiple UE transmit beams. For example, the UE can simultaneously transmit a reference signal via one or more UE transmit beams and sense the reference signal via one or more UE receive beams (e.g., attempt to receive the reference signal).

[0090] The UE can measure RSRP, SINR, and / or mutual interference information (e.g., a combination of self-interference and internal interference of the UE) associated with multiple UE receive beams linked to one or more UE transmit beams. In other words, the UE can determine the amount of interference caused by an individual UE transmit beam, as measured by one or more UE transmit beams. In this way, if the UE is configured to use one or more UE transmit beams to communicate with a base station, the UE can determine which receive beams will be negatively affected by interference. In some aspects, the UE can associate these measurements with UE transmit and UE receive beam pairing (e.g., beam coupling) options.

[0091] As shown by reference numeral 435 in the attached figure, the UE can generate a set of beam measurement parameters based on measurements of self-interference. For example, the UE can generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with a pair of UE transmit and UE receive beams, at least in part, based on reference signals transmitted via one or more UE transmit beams using multiple UE receive beam measurements. The UE can store this set of beam measurement parameters in a matrix, table, list, ranked list, and / or other formatted storage file.

[0092] As indicated by reference numeral 440 in the accompanying drawings, the UE can determine a recommended set of base station transmit beams for subsequent communication. For example, the UE can determine the recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation based at least in part on measurements of the base station transmit beam set and measurements of self-interference associated with that set of base station transmit beams (e.g., as measured during self-interference measurements). In some aspects, the UE can determine the recommended set of base station transmit beams based at least in part on: a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the UE transmit beams and the UE receive beams, and a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the base station transmit beams and the UE receive beams.

[0093] In some aspects, the UE can determine that it can use a first beam in a first antenna group to receive signaling transmitted by a base station using a first base station transmit beam, and can simultaneously use a first beam in a second antenna group to transmit signaling that will be received by a first base station receive beam reciprocated by the base station using a second base station transmit beam. In some aspects, the UE can determine multiple options for beam pairing based at least in part on measurements of the base station transmit beam set and measurements of self-interference.

[0094] In this way, in addition to parameters associated with receiving reference signals from the base station, the UE can determine the optimized beam pairing for full-duplex multi-beams based at least in part on self-interference (e.g., using non-reciprocal beams for the uplink and downlink).

[0095] As shown by reference numeral 445 in the attached figure, the UE can transmit and the base station can receive a report indicating a recommendation to use one or more beams (e.g., base station transmit beams) from a recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation. In some respects, the UE can transmit the report via CSI reports, self-interference reports, RRC signaling, MAC signals, and / or uplink control information.

[0096] In some aspects, the report may indicate explicit indications of one or more beam pairs recommended for full-duplex operation. In some aspects, the report may implicitly indicate one or more additional beams and / or additional beam pairs not used for full-duplex operation (e.g., at least in part based on self-interference). In some aspects, the report may indicate one or more TRPs to be used for the beam pair.

[0097] As shown by reference numeral 450 in the attached figure, the UE can receive and the base station can transmit indications of one or more base station transmit beams and one or more base station receive beams configured for one or more subsequent communications. For example, the base station can transmit such indications via resource granting, RRC signaling, and / or DCI.

[0098] The recommended base station transmit beam is determined at least in part based on measurements of self-interference beam relationships by the UE and at least in part based on inter-beam interference of the base station transmit beam to the UE receive beam. The UE can recommend a beam for full-duplex operation that has relatively good beam measurements associated with the pairing of the base station transmit beam and the UE receive beam, and has relatively good beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the UE transmit beam and the UE receive beam. This can improve the error rate of communication in full-duplex operation, reduce the computational resource consumption for detecting and correcting errors, improve spectral efficiency, and / or reduce the consumption of network resources that might otherwise be used for communication at a relatively low MCS.

[0099] As indicated above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example of a beam management procedure. Other examples of beam management procedures may differ from those provided above. Figure 4 The described example. For instance, a UE can measure self-interference with respect to multiple UE receive beams and multiple UE transmit beams before measuring a reference signal transmitted via the multiple base station transmit beams.

[0100] Figure 5A , Figure 5B and Figure 5C This is a diagram illustrating example 500 associated with a user equipment report for full-duplex multi-beam selection, according to various aspects of this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 4 As shown, a UE (e.g., UE 120) can communicate with a base station (e.g., base station 110) via one or more TRPs (e.g., a first TRP and a second TRP). The UE, the base station, and the one or more TRPs can be part of a wireless network (e.g., wireless network 100). In some aspects, the UE and the base station can perform one or more beam management procedures via the one or more TRPs. In some aspects, the one or more TRPs can provide spatial diversity for beam-based communication between the base station and the UE.

[0101] like Figure 5A As shown by reference numeral 505, the base station can configure the one or more TRPs to transmit reference signals (RS). In some aspects, the UE can configure the one or more TRPs to transmit these reference signals as part of beam management operations. For example, the base station can configure one or more TRPs to transmit these reference signals to transmit them in a time-division multiplexed, individual, and / or collective manner.

[0102] As shown by reference numeral 510, the first TRP can transmit these reference signals via a beamset transmitted from a first base station. As shown by reference numeral 515, the second TRP can transmit these reference signals via a beamset transmitted from a second base station. In some aspects, the first and second TRPs can use time-division multiplexing to transmit these reference signals, for example, as part of a beam-sweeping operation.

[0103] As shown by reference numeral 520 in the attached figure, the UE can measure these reference signals via multiple UE receive beams. In some aspects, the UE can measure these reference signals simultaneously via the multiple UE receive beams. In other aspects, the UE can use the multiple UE receive beams to sequentially measure the repetition of reference signals transmitted by each beam in the base station beam set.

[0104] As shown by reference numeral 525 in the attached figure, the UE can generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with a pairing of the base station transmit beam and the UE receive beam. In some aspects, the UE can generate this set of beam measurement parameters at least in part based on stored measurements of reference signals, such as those measured through different UE receive beams.

[0105] like Figure 5BAnd as indicated by reference numeral 530, the base station may configure at least one of the one or more TRPs to transmit resource allocations for self-interference measurements. In some aspects, the base station may determine the one or more TRPs and / or base station transmit beams to be used for transmitting the resource allocation based at least in part on reports from the UE of one or more base station transmit beams associated with relatively high measured RSRPs.

[0106] As shown by reference numeral 535 in the accompanying drawings, the first TRP and / or the second TRP may transmit resource allocation for self-interference measurement (e.g., an indication of the allocated resources). In some aspects, this resource allocation may be based at least in part on information received from the UE. For example, this information may be associated with the number of UE antenna groups, the number of UE receive beams associated with each UE antenna group, the total number of UE receive beams, and / or the number of antenna groups associated with the shared baseband assembly, etc.

[0107] As shown by reference numeral 540 in the attached figure, the UE can use allocated resources to measure self-interference, at least in part, based on simultaneously using multiple UE transmit beams to transmit reference signals (e.g., probe reference signals, etc.) and using multiple UE receive beams to receive (e.g., sense) these reference signals.

[0108] As shown by reference numeral 545 in the attached figure, the UE can generate a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of the UE transmit beam and the UE receive beam. In some aspects, the UE can generate the set of beam measurement parameters at least in part based on stored measurements of reference signals, such as those measured by different UE receive beams.

[0109] like Figure 5C As shown by reference numeral 550, the UE can determine a recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation. For example, the UE can select multiple pairs of base station transmit beams, wherein a first base station transmit beam can be used for downlink communication and a first base station receive beam (e.g., associated with a second base station transmit beam) can be used for uplink communication. In some aspects, this determination can be based at least in part on the recommended base station transmit beams being associated with, for example, an RSRP that satisfies a base station transmit beam threshold, and SINR, RSRP, and / or mutual interference information that satisfies a self-interference threshold. In some aspects, this determination can be based at least in part on the recommended base station transmit beams being associated with a combination of parameters that satisfy thresholds for full-duplex communication, including the RSRP of the base station transmit beams, and SINR, RSRP, and / or mutual interference information.

[0110] As indicated by reference numeral 555 in the attached figure, the UE can transmit, and the first TRP and / or the second TRP can receive, a report indicating recommendations for using one or more recommended base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation. In some aspects, the report may include recommended base station transmit beam pairs, recommended directions for each beam in the base station transmit beam pair, base station transmit beam pairs recommended not to be used, and / or TRPs recommended to be used together in full-duplex mode, etc.

[0111] As indicated by reference numeral 560 in the attached figure, the base station may receive the report via a first TRP and / or a second TRP. In some aspects, the base station may determine one or more base station transmit beams and / or one or more base station receive beams to be used for full-duplex operation with the UE. For example, the base station may select a beam pair from the report.

[0112] As indicated above, Figure 5 is provided as an example of a beam management procedure. Other examples of beam management procedures may differ from the example described with respect to Figure 5. For example, a UE may measure self-interference with respect to multiple UE receive beams and multiple UE transmit beams before measuring a reference signal transmitted via the multiple base station transmit beams.

[0113] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating, for example, an example process 600 performed by a UE according to various aspects of this disclosure. Example process 600 is an example in which a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with a user equipment report for full-duplex multi-beam selection.

[0114] like Figure 6 As shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include determining a recommended base station transmit beam set for full-duplex operation based at least in part on measurements of the base station transmit beam set and measurements of self-interference associated with the base station transmit beam set (block 610). For example, the UE (e.g., using determining component 808, such as...) Figure 8 The recommended base station transmit beam set for full-duplex operation (as described above) can be determined at least in part based on measurements of the base station transmit beam set and measurements of self-interference associated with that base station transmit beam set.

[0115] like Figure 6 As further shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include a transmission report indicating a recommendation to use one or more beams from the recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation (box 620). For example, the UE (e.g., using transmission component 804, such as...) Figure 8 (As described above) can transmit a report indicating a recommendation to use one or more beams from the recommended set of base station transmit beams for full-duplex operation.

[0116] Process 600 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0117] In a first aspect, process 600 includes receiving resource allocation for self-interference measurement, and measuring self-interference for multiple UE receive beams and multiple UE transmit beams based at least in part on the simultaneous transmission and reception of reference signals using these resources.

[0118] In a second aspect, receiving a resource allocation for self-interference measurement, either alone or in combination with the first aspect, includes receiving the resource allocation via one or more of radio resource control signaling or media access control signaling.

[0119] In a third aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, process 600 includes generating a set of beam measurement parameters associated with the pairing of UE transmit beams and UE receive beams, based at least in part on measurements of self-interference with a plurality of UE receive beams and a plurality of UE transmit beams.
