Description

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 17 / 112,908, filed on December 4, 2020, entitled “FD MODE DEPENDENT UCIMULTIPLEXING”, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. background Technical Field

[0004] This disclosure generally relates to communication systems, and more particularly to wireless communication systems having full-duplex (FD) communication.

[0005] introduction

[0006] 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 enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources. 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, and Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems.

[0007] 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, promulgated 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 adopt them. Overview

[0008] The following provides a brief overview of one or more aspects to offer a basic understanding of such aspects. This overview is not an exhaustive summary of all conceived aspects, nor is it intended to identify the key or decisive elements of all aspects, nor to define the scope of any or all aspects. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of one or more aspects in a simplified form as an introduction to the more detailed description that follows.

[0009] In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus at a user equipment (UE) are provided. The UE multiplexes a first uplink control information transmission based on a first uplink resource and a second uplink control information transmission based on a second uplink resource that overlaps in time with the first uplink resource, at least one of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource being for full-duplex communication. The UE determines whether to use the first uplink resource associated with a first beam or the second uplink resource associated with a second beam based on applying a multiplexing rule for full-duplex communication. The UE transmits the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the uplink resource determined based on the multiplexing rule.

[0010] In another aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus at a base station are provided. The base station determines an uplink beam for receiving a multiplexed uplink control information transmission of a first uplink control information transmission associated with a first uplink beam and a second uplink control information transmission associated with a second uplink beam based on applying a multiplexing rule for full-duplex communication, at least one of a first uplink resource for the first uplink control information transmission and a second uplink resource for the second uplink control information transmission being for full-duplex communication. The base station receives the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the beam determined based on the multiplexing rule.

The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative features of the one or more aspects. These features are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of various aspects can be employed. This description is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0025] The detailed description set forth below, in connection with the appended drawings and embodiments described therewith, is intended as a description of various configurations and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the concepts described herein can be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts can be practiced without

[0026] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methods will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0027] ​​​As an example, an element, or any portion of an element, or any combination of elements can be implemented as a "processing system" that includes 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, systems on a chip (SoC), 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 functionality described throughout this disclosure. One or more processors in the processing system can execute software. Software shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software components, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, functions, etc., whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or otherwise.

[0028] Accordingly, in one or more example embodiments, the functions described can be implemented in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software, the functions can be stored on or encoded as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable media includes computer storage media. Storage media can be any available media that can be accessed by a computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise a random-access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), compact disk ROM (CD-ROM), diskette, hard disk drive, memory card, solid-state drive, etc..

[0029] User equipment (UE) and / or base stations can communicate in a full duplex mode in which uplink and downlink communications are exchanged in overlapping time in the same or partially overlapping or separate frequency bands. The UE and base station can exchange communications using one or more directional downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) beam pairs. In some wireless communications systems, there can be coexisting half duplex (HD) and full duplex (FD) transmissions. Full duplex operation can enable reception of DL signals in previous UL only slots, which in turn can enable latency reduction. Additionally, full duplex transmissions can improve spectral efficiency per cell and per UE.

[0030] In some wireless communications systems, there are multiplexing rules for overlapping uplink control information (UCI) transmissions. The multiplexing rules can apply to situations where a UE has resources for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission or for a PUCCH and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission that overlap in time. For example, if there are two overlapping UCI transmissions, one for a scheduling request (SR) and the other for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information, the multiplexing rules can indicate that the UE multiplexes the two UCI to the UCI resource carrying the HARQ-ACK information when the UE is provided with simultaneous HARQ-ACK channel state information (e.g., simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI). In another example, if there is a single PUCCH resource (and / or SR resource) from HARQ-ACK and two PUCCH resources with CSI reports, the rules can indicate that the UE multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information (and / or SR) in the resource for PUCCH transmission with the CSI report having higher priority. The UE can suppress transmitting the PUCCH with the CSI report having lower priority.

[0031] For example, for full duplex operation, the UL beam associated with the multiplexed UCI resource can not be paired with the DL beam for full duplex communications involving uplink transmissions and downlink receptions that overlap in time. Aspects provided herein enable a UE and a base station to address and / or avoid such unpaired beam issues for UCI resources.

[0032] Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communications system and an access network 100. The wireless communications system, which can be a wireless wide area network (WWAN), includes base stations 102, UEs 104, an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) 160, and another core network 190 (e.g., a 5G Core (5GC)). The base stations 102 can include macro cells (high power cellular base stations) and / or small cells (low power cellular base stations). The macro cells can include base stations. The small cells can include femtocells, picocells, and microcells.

[0033] The base stations 102 configured for 4G LTE (collectively referred to as the Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) can interface with the EPC 160 through the first backhaul links 132 (e.g., S I interface). The base stations 102 configured for 5G NR (collectively referred to as the Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN)) can interface with the core network 190 through the second backhaul links 184. In addition to other functions, the base stations 102 can perform one or more of the following functions: transfer of user data, radio channel ciphering and deciphering, integrity protection, header compression, mobility control functions (e.g., handover, dual connectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection setup and release, load balancing, distribution for non-access stratum (NAS) messages, NAS node selection, synchronization, radio access network (RAN) sharing, multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), subscriber and equipment trace, RAN information management (RIM), paging, positioning, and delivery of warning messages. The base stations 102 can communicate directly or indirectly (e.g., through the EPC 160 or core network 190) with each other over the third backhaul links 134 (e.g., X2 interface). The first backhaul links 132, the second backhaul links 184, and the third backhaul links 134 can be wired or wireless.

[0034] The base stations 102 can wirelessly communicate with the UEs 104. Each of the base stations 102 can provide communication coverage for a respective geographic coverage area 110. There can be overlapping geographic coverage areas 110. For example, a small cell 102' can have a coverage area 110' that overlaps with one or more macrocells 102. A network that includes both small cell and macrocells can be known as a heterogeneous network. A heterogeneous network can also include Home Evolved Node Bs (eNBs) (HeNBs), which can provide service to a restricted group known as a closed subscriber group (CSG). The communication links 120 between the base stations 102 and the UEs 104 can include uplink (UL) (also referred to as reverse link) transmissions from a UE 104 to a base station 102 and / or downlink (DL) (also referred to as forward link) transmissions from a base station 102 to a UE 104. The communication links 120 can use multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and / or transmit diversity. These communication links can be through one or more carriers, where a carrier can be a set of

[0035] Certain UEs 104 can communicate with each other using device-to-device (D2D) communication link 158. The D2D communication link 158 can use the DL / UL WWAN spectrum. The D2D communication link 158 can use one or more sidelink channels, such as a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH), a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). D2D communication can be through a variety of wireless D2D communication systems, such as for example, WiMedia, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard, LTE, or NR.

[0036] The wireless communications system can further include a Wi-Fi access point (AP) 150 in communication with Wi-Fi stations (STAs) 152 via communication link 154, e.g., in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum. When communicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the STAs 152 / AP 150 can perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating in order to determine whether the channel is available.

[0037] The small cell 102' can operate in a licensed and / or an unlicensed frequency spectrum. When operating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the small cell 102' can employ NR and use the same 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum as used by the Wi-Fi AP 150. The small cell 102' employing NR in an unlicensed frequency spectrum can boost coverage and / or increase capacity for the access network.

[0038] The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdivided based on frequency / wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, etc. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz - 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz - 52.6 GHz). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a “sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with respect to FR2, which is often referred to as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz - 300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band.

[0039] With the above aspects in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, can broadly represent frequencies that can be less than 6 GHz, can be within FR1, or can include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, can broadly represent frequencies that can include mid-band frequencies, can be within FR2, or can be within the EHF band.

[0040] Whether small cell 102' or a large cell (e.g., macro base station), base stations 102 can include and / or be referred to as an eNB, gNB, or another type of base station. Some base stations, such as gNB 180 can operate in a traditional sub 6 GHz spectrum, in millimeter wave frequencies, and / or near millimeter wave frequencies in communication with UEs 104. When the gNB 180 operates in millimeter wave frequencies or near millimeter wave frequencies, the gNB 180 can be referred to as a millimeter wave base station. The millimeter wave base station 180 can utilize beamforming 182 with the UEs 104 to compensate for the path loss and short range. The base station 180 and the UEs 104 can each include a plurality of antennas, such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and / or antenna arrays to facilitate beamforming.

[0041] The base station 180 can transmit a beamformed signal to the UE 104 in one or more transmit directions 182'. The UE 104 can receive the beamformed signal from the base station 180 in one or more receive directions 182". The UE 104 can also transmit a beamformed signal to the base station 180 in one or more transmit directions. The base station 180 can receive the beamformed signal from the UE 104 in one or more receive directions. The base station 180 / UE 104 can perform beam training to determine the best receive and transmit directions for each of the base station 180 / UE 104. The transmit and receive directions of the base station 180 can or can not be the same. The transmit and receive directions of the UE 104 can or can not be the same.

[0042] The EPC 160 can include a mobility management entity (MME) 162, other MMEs 164, a serving gateway 166, a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) gateway 168, a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC) 170, and a packet data network (PDN) gateway 172. The MME 162 can be in communication with a home subscriber server (HSS) 174. The MME 162 is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 and the EPC 160. Generally, the MME 162 provides bearer and connection management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferred through the serving gateway 166, which itself is connected to the PDN gateway 172. The PDN gateway 172 provides UE IP address allocation as well as other functions. The PDN gateway 172 and the BM-SC 170 are connected to the IP services 176. The IP services 176 can include the Internet, an intranet, an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), a PS streaming service, and / or other IP services. The BM-SC 170 can provide functions for MBMS user service provisioning and

[0043] The core network 190 can include an access and mobility management function (AMF) 192, other AMFs 193, a session management function (SMF) 194, and a user plane function (UPF) 195. The AMF 192 can be in communication with a unified data management (UDM) 196. The AMF 192 is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 and the core network 190. Generally, the AMF 192 provides QoS flow and session management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferred

[0044] A base station can include and / or be referred to as a gNB, NodeB, eNB, an access point, a base transceiver station, a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a transceiver function, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a transmit reception point (TRP), or some other suitable terminology. A base station 102 provides an access point to the EPC 160 or core network 190 for a UE 104. Examples of UEs 104 include a cellular phone, a smart phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a satellite radio, a global positioning system, a multimedia device, a video device, a digital audio player (e.g., MP3 player), a camera, a game console, a tablet, a smart device, a wearable device, a vehicle, an electric meter, a gas pump, a large or small kitchen appliance, a healthcare device, an implant, a sensor / actuator, a display, or any other similar functional device. Some of the UEs 104 can be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking meter, gas pump, toaster, vehicle, heart monitor, etc.). The UE 104 can also be referred to as a station, a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communication device, a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobile client, a client, or some other suitable terminology.

[0045] Referring again to Figure 1In certain aspects, UE 104 can include a UCI component 198. In some aspects, UCI component 198 can be configured to multiplex a first uplink control information transmission based on a first uplink resource and a second uplink control information transmission based on a second uplink resource that overlaps in time with the first uplink resource, at least one of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource being for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, UCI component 198 can be configured to determine whether to use a first uplink resource associated with a first beam or a second uplink resource associated with a second beam based on applying a multiplexing rule for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, UCI component 198 can be configured to transmit the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the uplink resource determined based on the multiplexing rule. In some aspects, base station 180 can include a UCI processing component 199. In some aspects, UCI processing component 199 can be configured to determine an uplink beam for receiving a multiplexed uplink control information transmission of a first uplink control information transmission associated with a first uplink beam and a second uplink control information transmission associated with a second uplink beam based on applying a multiplexing rule for full-duplex communication, at least one of a first uplink resource for the first uplink control information transmission and a second uplink resource for the second uplink control information transmission being for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, UCI processing component 199 can be configured to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the beam determined based on the multiplexing rule.

[0046] Although the following description can focus on 5G NR, the concepts described herein can be applicable to other similar areas, such as LTE, LTE-A, CDMA, GSM, and other wireless technologies.

[0047] Figure 2A FIG. 200 is a diagram 200 illustrating an example of a first subframe within a 5G NR frame structure. Figure 2B FIG. 230 is a diagram 230 illustrating an example of DL channels within a 5G NR subframe. Figure 2C FIG. 250 is a diagram 250 illustrating an example of a second subframe within a 5G NR frame structure. Figure 2D FIG. 280 is a diagram 280 illustrating an example of UL channels within a 5G NR subframe. The 5G NR frame structure can be frequency-division duplexed (FDD), where for a particular subcarrier set (carrier system bandwidth), subframes within that subcarrier set are dedicated to either DL or UL; or can be time-division duplexed (TDD), where for a particular subcarrier set (carrier system bandwidth), subframes within that subcarrier set are dedicated to both DL and UL. In the former case, the DL / UL denial can be dynamic, where the subframe Figure 2A , 2CIn the examples provided, a 5G NR frame structure is assumed to be TDD with subframe 4 configured with slot format 28 (mostly DL) and subframe 3 configured with slot format 1 (all UL), where D is DL, U is UL, and F is flexible for use between DL / UL. While subframes 3, 4 are shown with slot formats 1, 28, respectively, any particular subframe can be configured with any of the various available slot formats 0-61. Slot formats 0, 1 are all DL, all UL, respectively. Other slot formats 2-61 include a mix of DL, UL, and flexible symbols. A UE is configured with a slot format (dynamically through DL control information (DCI), or semi- statically / statically through radio resource control (RRC) signaling) through a received slot format indicator (SFI). Note that the following description also applies to a 5G NR frame structure that is TDD.

[0048] Other wireless communication technologies can have different frame structures and / or different channels. A frame (10 ms) can be divided into 10 equally sized subframes (1 ms). Each subframe can include one or more slots. A subframe can also include mini-slots, which can include 7, 4, or 2 symbols. Each slot can include 7 or 14 symbols, depending on the slot configuration. For slot configuration 0, each slot can include 14 symbols, whereas for slot configuration 1, each slot can include 7 symbols. A symbol on the DL can be a cyclic prefix (CP) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) symbol. A symbol on the UL can be a CP-OFDM symbol (for high throughput scenarios) or a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbol (also known as single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol) (for power limited scenarios; limited to single stream transmission). The number of slots within a subframe is based on the slot configuration and the numerology. For slot configuration 0, different numerologies m 0 to 4 allow 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 slots per subframe, respectively. For slot configuration 1, different numerologies 0 to 2 allow 2, 4, and 8 slots per subframe, respectively. Accordingly, for slot configuration 0 and numerology m, there are 14 symbols per slot and 2 μ *15 kHz, where m is the numerology 0 to 4. As such, numerology m = 0 has a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, while numerology m = 4 has a subcarrier spacing of 240 kHz. The symbol length / duration is inversely related to the subcarrier spacing. μ *15 kHz, where m is the numerology 0 to 4. As such, numerology m = 0 has a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, while numerology m = 4 has a subcarrier spacing of 240 kHz. The symbol length / duration is inversely related to the subcarrier spacing. Figures 2A-2DAn example of a slot configuration 0 of 14 symbols per slot and numerology μ = 2 of 4 slots per subframe is provided. The slot duration is 0.25 ms, the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz, and the symbol duration is approximately 16.67 μs. Within a frame, there can be one or more different bandwidth parts (BWPs) that are frequency division multiplexed (see Figure 2B ). Each BWP can have a certain numerology.

[0049] A resource grid can be used to represent the frame structure. Each time slot includes resource blocks (RBs) (also referred to as physical RBs (PRBs)) that extend for 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] As Figure 2A illustrated in , some of the REs carry reference (pilot) signals (RS) for the UE. The RS can include demodulation RS (DM-RS) (indicated as R for one particular configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) and channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) for channel estimation at the UE. The RS can 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 explained. The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) carries the DCI within one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs) (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 CCEs), each CCE comprising 6 RE Groups (REGs), each REG comprising 12 coherent REs in the OFDM symbols of the RB. A PDCCH within a BWP may 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 shared 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 may be located at higher and / or lower frequencies spanning the channel bandwidth. The Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) may be located within symbol 2 of a specific subframe of the frame. The PSS is used by the UE 104 to determine subframe / symbol timing and physical layer identity. The Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) may be located 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 the 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 aforementioned DM-RS. The Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), carrying 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 (such as System Information Block (SIB)), and paging messages.

[0052] As in Figure 2C As explained, some 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 or first two symbols of the PUSCH. The PUCCH DM-RS can be transmitted in different configurations depending on whether a short or long PUCCH is being transmitted and on the specific PUCCH format used. The UE can transmit a probe 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 2DExamples of various UL channels within a subframe are illustrated. The PUCCH can be located in a fixed location as indicated in one configuration. The PUCCH carries uplink control information (UCI), such as scheduling requests, a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a rank indicator (RI), and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) information (ACK / negative ACK (NACK)) feedback. The PUSCH carries data, and can additionally be used to carry buffer status reports (BSRs), power headroom reports (PHRs), and / or UCI.

[0054] Figure 3 is a block diagram of the components of base station 310 and UE 350, which are in communication over access network 320. In the DL, IP packets from the EPC 160 can be provided to a controller / processor 375. The controller / processor 375 implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality. Layer 3 includes a radio resource control (RRC) layer, and layer 2 includes a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and a medium access control (MAC) layer. The controller / processor 375 provides RRC layer functionality associated with broadcasting of system information (e.g., MIB, SIBs), 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

[0055] The transmit (TX) processor 316 and the receive (RX) processor 370 implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signal processing functions. Layer 1, which includes a physical (PHY) layer, can include error detection on the transport channels, forward error correction (FEC) coding / decoding of the transport channels, interleaving, rate matching, mapping to physical channels, modulation / demodulation of physical channels, and MIMO antenna processing. The TX processor 316 handles mapping to signal constellations based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), M-phase-shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The coded and modulated symbols can then be split into parallel streams. Each stream can then be mapped to an OFDM subcarrier, multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., pilot) and then combined together using an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to produce a physical channel carrying a time domain OFDM symbol stream. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded to produce multiple spatial streams. Channel estimates from a channel estimator 374 can be used to determine the coding and modulation schemes, as well as for spatial processing. The channel estimate can be derived from a reference signal and / or channel condition feedback transmitted by the UE 350. Each spatial stream can then be provided to a different antenna 320 via a separate transmitter 318TX. Each transmitter 318TX can modulate an RF carrier with a respective spatial stream for transmission.

[0056] At the UE 350, each receiver 354RX receives a signal through its respective antenna 352. Each receiver 354RX recovers information modulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to the receive (RX) processor 356. The TX processor 368 and the RX processor 356 implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signal processing functions. The RX processor 356 can perform spatial processing on the information to recover any spatial streams destined for the UE 350. If multiple spatial streams are destined for the UE 350, they can be combined by the RX processor 356 into a single OFDM symbol stream. The RX processor 356 then converts the OFDM symbol stream from the time-domain to the frequency domain using a fast Fourier transform (FFT). The frequency domain signal comprises a separate OFDM symbol stream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols on each subcarrier, and the reference signal, are recovered and demodulated by determining the most likely signal constellation points transmitted by the base station 310. These soft decisions can be based on channel estimates computed by the channel estimator 358. The soft decisions are then decoded and deinterleaved to recover the data and control signals that were originally transmitted by the base station 310 on the physical channel. The data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 359, which implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality.

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

[0058] Similar to the functionality described in connection with the DL transmission by the base station 310, the controller / processor 359 provides RRC layer functionality associated with system information (e.g., MIB, SIBs) acquisition, RRC connections, and measurement reporting; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression / decompression, and security (ciphering, deciphering, integrity protection, integrity verification); RLC layer functionality associated with the transfer of upper layer PDUs, error correction through ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs, re-segmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionality associated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto TBs, demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction through HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel prioritization.

[0059] Channel estimates derived by the channel estimator 358 from a reference signal or feedback transmitted by the base station 310 can be used by the TX processor 368 to select the appropriate coding and modulation schemes, and to facilitate spatial processing. The spatial streams generated by the TX processor 368 can be provided to different antenna 352 via separate transmitters 354TX. Each transmitter 354TX can modulate an RF carrier with a respective spatial stream for transmission.

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

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

[0062] At least one of the TX processor 368, the RX processor 356, and the controller / processor 359 can be configured to perform aspects in connection with Figure 1 aspects in connection with the UCI component 198.

[0063] At least one of the TX processor 316, the RX processor 370, and the controller / processor 375 can be configured to perform aspects in connection with Figure 1 aspects in connection with the UCI processing component 199.

[0064] Wireless communications systems can be configured to share available system resources and provide various telecommunication services (e.g., telephony, video, data, messaging, broadcasts, etc.) based on multiple access technologies that enable communications with multiple users. Full duplex operations, in which a wireless device transmits and receives in overlapping time periods at a same frequency range, can enable more efficient use of the wireless spectrum. Full duplex operations can include simultaneous transmissions and receptions in a same frequency range, or partially overlapping frequency ranges, or separate frequency ranges. In some examples, the frequency range can be a mmW frequency range, such as frequency range 2 (FR2). In some examples, the frequency range can be a sub-6 GHz frequency range, such as frequency range 1 (FR1). Aspects presented herein can also apply to other frequency ranges. Full duplex capability can be supported at a base station and / or a UE. For example, a UE can transmit an uplink communication from one antenna panel and can receive a downlink communication from another antenna panel. As another example, a base station can transmit to one UE from one antenna panel and can receive from another UE using another antenna panel. As another example, a base station can transmit to one UE from one antenna panel and can receive from the same UE using another antenna panel. In some examples, full duplex communications can be conditioned on beam or spatial separation, or other conditions.

[0065] Full duplex communications can reduce latency. For example, full duplex operations can enable a UE to receive a downlink signal in an uplink only time period, which can reduce latency for downlink communications. Full duplex communications can improve spectral efficiency, e.g., spectral efficiency per cell or per UE. Full duplex communications can enable more efficient use of wireless resources.

[0066] Figures 4A-4C Various modes of full-duplex communication are illustrated. Full-duplex communication supports transmitting and receiving information on the same frequency band, or partially overlapping frequency bands, or separate frequency bands in a time-overlapping manner. In this way, the spectral efficiency can be improved relative to that of half-duplex communication, which supports transmitting or receiving information in one direction at a time without overlapping uplink and downlink communications. Due to the simultaneous Tx / Rx nature of full-duplex communication, a UE or base station can experience self-interference caused by signal leakage from its local transmitter to its local receiver. Additionally, the UE or base station can also experience interference from other devices, such as transmissions from a second UE or a second base station. Such interference (e.g., self-interference or interference caused by other devices) can impact the quality of communication, or even cause information loss.

[0067] Figure 4A A first example of full-duplex communication 400 is shown, in which a first base station 402a is in full-duplex communication with a first UE 404a and a second UE 406a. The first base station 402a is a full-duplex base station, while the first UE 404a and the second UE 406a can be configured as half-duplex UEs or full-duplex UEs. The second UE 406a can transmit a first uplink signal to the first base station 402a as well as to other base stations, such as a second base station 408a that is proximate to the second UE 406a. The first base station 402a transmits a downlink signal to the first UE 404a concurrently with receiving the uplink signal from the second UE 406a. The base station 402a can experience self-interference from a receive antenna that receives some of the downlink signal being transmitted to the UE 404a from the UE 406a that is transmitting the uplink signal. The base station 402a can experience additional interference due to signals from the second base station 408a. Interference can also occur at the first UE 404a based on signals from the second base station 408a as well as the uplink signal from the second UE 406a.

[0068] Figure 4B A second example of full-duplex communication 410 is shown, in which a first base station 402b is in full-duplex communication with a first UE 404b. In this example, the first base station 402b is a full-duplex base station and the first UE 404b is a full-duplex UE. The first base station 402b and the UE 404b can concurrently receive and transmit time-overlapping communications in the same frequency band. The base station and the UE can each experience self-interference in which signals transmitted from the device are leaked to the receiver of the same device. The first UE 404b can experience additional interference based on one or more signals transmitted from a second UE 406b and / or a second base station 408b that is proximate to the first UE 404b.

[0069] Figure 4C A third example of full-duplex communication 420 is shown, where the first UE 404c is a full-duplex UE in communication with the first base station 402c and the second base station 408c. The first base station 402c and the second base station 408c can function as multi-transmit receive points (multi-TRPs) for UL and DL communication with the UE 404c. The second base station 408c can be in communication with the second UE 406c. In Figure 4C In the third example, the first UE 404c can concurrently transmit an uplink signal to the first base station 402c while receiving a downlink signal from the second base station 408c. The first UE 404c can experience self-interference due to the first and second signals being communicated at the same time, e.g., the uplink signal can leak to the UE’s receiver (e.g., be received by the UE’s receiver). The first UE 404c can experience additional interference from the second UE 406c.

[0070] Full-duplex communication can be in the same frequency band. Uplink and downlink communication can be in different frequency subbands, the same frequency subband, or partially overlapping frequency subbands. Figure 5 A first example 500 and a second example 510 of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) resources and a third example 520 of sub-band full-duplex resources are illustrated. In IBFD, signals can be transmitted and received in overlapping time and overlapping frequency. As shown in the first example 500, the time and frequency allocation of the UL resources 502 can completely overlap with the time and frequency allocation of the DL resources 504. In the second example 510, the time and frequency allocation of the UL resources 512 can partially overlap with the time and frequency allocation of the DL resources 514.

[0071] IBFD is in contrast to sub-band frequency division duplex (FDD), where uplink and downlink resources can overlap in time using different frequencies, as shown in the third example 520. In the third example 520, the UL resources 522 are separated from the DL resources 524 by a guard band 526. A guard band can be a frequency resource, or a gap in a frequency resource, provided between the UL resources 522 and the DL resources 524. Separating UL frequency resources from DL frequency resources using a guard band can help reduce self-interference. UL and DL resources that are immediately adjacent to each other correspond to a guard band width of 0. A guard band can reduce interference experienced by a UE due to an output signal (e.g., from a UE transmitter) that can extend outside of the UL resources. Sub-band FDD can also be referred to as “flexible duplexing.”

[0072] In some wireless communication systems, there are multiplexing rules for overlapping UCI transmissions. The multiplexing rules can apply to scenarios where a UE has resources for PUCCH transmission or for PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions that overlap in time. For example, if there are two overlapping UCI transmissions, one for SR and the other for HARQ-ACK information, the multiplexing rules can indicate that the UE multiplexes the two UCIs to the UCI resource carrying the HARQ-ACK information when the UE is provided with simultaneous HARQ-ACK channel state information (simultaneous HARQ-ACK-CSI). In another example, if there is a single PUCCH resource (and / or SR resource) from HARQ-ACK and two PUCCH resources with CSI reports, the rules can indicate that the UE multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information (and / or SR) in the resource for PUCCH transmission with the CSI report having higher priority. The UE can refrain from transmitting the PUCCH with the CSI report having lower priority.

[0073] For example, for full duplex operation, the UL beam associated with the multiplexed UCI resource can be unpaired with the DL beam. For example, a base station can schedule a UE for half duplex transmission or reception with a half duplex beam and also schedule the UE for transmission / reception with a full duplex beam. The resources can overlap in time, but the half duplex beam can be unpaired with the full duplex beam for overlapping full duplex transmission and reception. The beams can be unpaired due to, for example, an inability to cancel or sufficiently mitigate associated self-interference between concurrent transmission and reception on the two beams. The half duplex beam can be selected based on a first metric (e.g., reference signal received power (RSRP)) for half duplex communication, and the full duplex beam can be selected based on a second metric (e.g., signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR)) for full duplex communication. Thus, the second metric can account for self-interference that is not accounted for in the first metric. For example, the half duplex mode beam can be based on a best RSRP beam (e.g., beam 1) in a set of candidate beams. In contrast, the full duplex mode beam pair can be based on a best SINR beam pair with the highest signal strength, and for which the transmit (Tx) beam pairs its receive (Rx) beam (e.g., beam pair including downlink beam 3 and uplink beam 5) produces little self-interference. If a first transmission is scheduled for half duplex downlink beam 1 at a time that overlaps with a second transmission scheduled for UL beam 5 from the full duplex beam pair, beam 5 can produce self-interference for downlink reception on beam 1. Thus, beam 5 can be considered incompatible with beam 1 for full duplex communication that includes overlapping transmission and reception in time. Aspects described herein relate to methods for handling incompatible uplink and downlink beams for UCI resource(s).

[0074] Figure 6 Example communications 600 between a UE 602 and a base station 604 are illustrated. As Figure 6 As illustrated, the UE 602 can multiplex two pending UCI transmissions after determining the UCI transmission at 608 based on one or more multiplexing rules. The two pending UCI transmissions can be for FD or HD. In some aspects, there can be one pending UCI transmission for SR 610 on FD resources and another pending UCI transmission for ACK / NACK (PUCCH 612) on HD resources. In some aspects, the UE can select resources for multiplexing multiple UCIs based on the duplex mode (e.g., HD or FD) of the individual UCIs. In one example, the UE 602 can multiplex the two UCIs to FD UCI resources (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) regardless of the content carried in the FD UCI. In some aspects, the multiplexing rules can result in the UE multiplexing multiple UCIs in UCI resources based on the duplex mode and the content of the individual UCIs. In some aspects, the UE 602 can multiplex the two UCIs to FD UCI resources based on the content carried in the FD UCI.

[0075] In some aspects, the UE can reset the DL / UL beam at 609. For example, in some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource but is associated with a different DL beam than the scheduled DL beam (e.g., a bidirectional beam pair indicated in the TCI state of the PUCCH resource configuration, such as one indicated in the scheduling information 606 previously transmitted from the base station 604 to the UE 602), the UE 602 can reset the current scheduled DL beam for receiving the scheduled DL transmission based on the DL beam of the TCI state (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). Similarly, the base station can adjust the DL beam for transmitting the DL transmission based on the multiplexed UCI of the UE associated with a different DL beam in the FD resource.

[0076] In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is a FD resource without explicit DL beam indication (which can be associated with a different DL beam than the scheduled DL beam), the UE 602 can retrieve DL beam information in a beam failure detection (BFD) or radio link management (RLM) reference signal configuration (RS) for the FD communication mode. The BFD / RLM RS can include a DL beam paired with an UL beam in a self-interference measurement resource (IMR) RS that is the same as the multiplexed UCI resource UL beam. The UE 602 can reset the DL beam for receiving the scheduled DL transmission based on the retrieved information (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). Similarly, the base station can adjust the DL beam for transmitting the DL transmission based on the multiplexed UCI of the UE associated with a different DL beam in the FD resource.

[0077] In some aspects, the UE 602 can find one or more candidate DL beams based on a self-interference measurement (SIM) report or a beam management (BM) measurement report. One of the one or more candidate DL beams can be paired with the multiplexed UCI resource UL beam. The UE 602 can reset the DL beam for receiving the scheduled DL transmission based on the latest measurement and the candidate DL beam (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). Similarly, the base station can adjust the DL beam for transmitting the DL transmission based on the multiplexed UCI of the UE associated with a different DL beam based on the latest measurement report in the FD resource.

[0078] In some aspects, if there is a RACH occasion overlapping with a DL SSB in the FD mode, the UE 602 can use the SSB beam to find a DL SSB beam paired with the RACH occasion UL beam that is the same as the multiplexed UCI resource beam. The UE 602 can reset the DL beam based on the SSB beam (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is not a FD resource, the UE 602 can cancel the reception of the DL transmission. Similarly, the base station can cancel the DL transmission based on the multiplexed UCI of the UE associated with a different DL beam in the FD resource.

[0079] In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different DL beam than the scheduled DL beam (e.g., the scheduled beam based on the scheduling information), the UE can change or reset the uplink beam used to transmit the multiplexed UCI. In some aspects, the UE 602 can find the paired UL beam information in the bidirectional TCI state of the downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the DL transmission (e.g., the DCI in the scheduling information 606), which the UE 602 can reset the UL beam for the multiplexed UCI resource to pair with the scheduled DL beam based on (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). Similarly, the base station can change the UL beam the base station uses to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0080] In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam that is not paired with the scheduled DL beam, the UE 602 can find the new UL beam information in the BFD / RLM RS configuration (e.g., the UL beam paired with the CMR RS configuration in the interference measurement resource (IMR) RS configuration, which is the same as the scheduled DL beam). The UE 602 can reset (e.g., change) the UL beam the UE uses to transmit the multiplexed UCI resource to pair with the scheduled DL beam based on (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). Similarly, the base station can change the UL beam the base station uses to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0081] In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam that is not paired with the scheduled DL beam, the UE 602 can find the one of the one or more candidate UL beams to pair with the one candidate UL beam that is the same as the scheduled DL beam based on the SIM / BM report. The UE 602 can reset (e.g., change) the UL beam the UE uses to transmit the multiplexed UCI resource to pair with the scheduled DL beam based on (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). Similarly, the base station can change the UL beam the base station uses to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0082] In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam that is not paired with the scheduled DL beam, and if there is a RACH occasion that overlaps with the DL SSB in the FD mode, the UE 602 can find the RACH preamble beam that is paired with the SSB beam that is the same as the scheduled DL beam. The UE 602 can reset the UL beam the UE uses to transmit the multiplexed UCI to pair with the scheduled DL beam based on (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) the RACH beam. Similarly, the base station can change the UL beam the base station uses to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0083] In some respects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is not a FD resource, UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) cancel UCI transmission or reception. Similarly, the base station can skip UCI reception.

[0084] Figure 7A This is a flowchart 700 of a wireless communication method. This method can be performed by a UE (e.g., UE 104, UE 404a / b / c, UE 406a / b / c, UE 602; device 902). This method enables the UE to multiplex UCIs, including UCIs associated with FD resources and HD resources.

[0085] In 702, the UE multiplexes the transmission of first uplink control information based on the first uplink resource and the transmission of second uplink control information based on the second uplink resource that overlaps with the first uplink resource in time, wherein at least one of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource is used for full-duplex communication. Figure 6 An example of UE602 multiplexing UCI transports (one for SR, one for HARQ ACK / NACK) is explained. For example, 702 can be... Figure 9 The reused component 942 in the middle is used to execute.

[0086] In 704, the UE determines whether to use the first uplink resource associated with the first beam or the second uplink resource associated with the second beam based on the multiplexing rules for full-duplex communication. For example, Figure 6 UE 602 can determine whether to use full-duplex UCI resources to carry information for both full-duplex and half-duplex communication. 704 can be determined by... Figure 9 The determination component 944 performs this function. In some aspects, the UE determines the uplink resources for full-duplex communication independently of the content of the uplink control information transmission for half-duplex communication and the uplink control information transmission for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, if both the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource are used for full-duplex communication, the UE determines whether to use the first beam or the second beam based on the content of the first uplink control information transmission and the second uplink control information transmission (e.g., SR, HARQ, etc.).

[0087] In 706, the UE uses uplink resources determined based on multiplexing rules to transmit multiplexed uplink control information. As an example, if the first uplink resource is used for half-duplex communication and the second uplink resource is used for full-duplex communication, the UE can use the second beam associated with the second uplink resource to transmit multiplexed uplink control information. As another example, if the second uplink resource is used for half-duplex communication and the first uplink resource is used for full-duplex communication, the UE can use the first beam associated with the first uplink resource to transmit multiplexed uplink control information. 706 can be... Figure 9 The UCI transport component 946 in the code performs this. In one example, full-duplex communication can be used for SR, while half-duplex communication can be used for HARQ ACK / NACK, as... Figure 6 The explanation is in Chinese.

[0088] Figure 7B This is a flowchart 750 of a wireless communication method. This method can be performed by a UE (e.g., UE 104, UE 404a / b / c, UE 406a / b / c, UE 602; device 902). This method enables the UE to multiplex UCIs, which include one or more UCIs associated with FD resources.

[0089] In 752, the UE multiplexes the time-overlapping first uplink control information transmission and the second uplink control information transmission to generate a multiplexed uplink control information transmission on the multiplexed uplink control information resources associated with the uplink beam. 752 can be... Figure 9 The reused component 942 in the code performs the operation. For example, with... Figure 6 Similarly, in UE 602, the multiplexed UCI resource can be an FD resource associated with a DL beam that is different from the scheduled DL beam. In some aspects, the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam that is not paired with the scheduled DL beam.

[0090] At 754, the UE receives scheduling information for receiving downlink transmissions associated with the downlink beam in full-duplex communication mode. 754 can be... Figure 9 The scheduling information receiving component 954 performs this function. For example, the scheduling information can schedule downlink beams. In some aspects, the scheduled downlink beam may be adjusted at 756 because it is not paired with an uplink beam.

[0091] At 756, the UE adjusts the reception of multiplexed uplink control information transmissions or downlink transmissions based on the uplink beam being unpaired with the downlink beam for full-duplex communications. For example, a first beam can be selected based on a first metric (e.g., RSRP) for a half-duplex mode, and a second beam can be selected based on a second metric (e.g., SINR or SIM) for a full-duplex mode, where the second beam is selected to be paired with a third beam for full-duplex mode. The second metric can include a self-interference metric not included in the first metric. The second beam can be incompatible with the first beam based on a self-interference between full-duplex communications on the first and second beams that are a pair for full-duplex mode. For example, an uplink transmission on the first or second beam can cause a threshold level of self-interference to a downlink reception on the other beam in full-duplex mode. In some aspects, 756 can be performed by an adjustment component 956 in Figure 9 adjustment component 956 in FIG. 12. The operations of 756 can be performed by the adjustment component 956 in Figure 6The UE 602 in the network similarly, in some aspects, the adjustment can include transmitting the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using a paired uplink beam from the downlink beam pairing of the TCI state for the downlink transmission in the scheduling information for the downlink transmission. In some aspects, the adjustment can include receiving the downlink transmission using a downlink beam from the downlink beam pairing of the TCI state for the multiplexed control information uplink resource configuration for the uplink control information transmission. In some aspects, the adjustment can include receiving the downlink transmission using a paired downlink beam from a beam pairing reference signal configuration for the full-duplex communication mode beam failure detection or radio link management indication between the indicated uplink beam and the paired downlink beam, rather than the downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission. The uplink beam can be the same as the uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource. In some aspects, the adjustment can include transmitting the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the paired uplink beam from a beam pairing reference signal configuration for the full-duplex communication mode beam failure detection or radio link management indication between the indicated paired uplink beam and the downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission, rather than the uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource. In some aspects, the adjustment can include receiving the downlink transmission using a paired downlink beam from a beam pairing reference signal configuration associated with the uplink beam based on a SIM or BM measurement associated with the uplink beam, rather than the downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission. In such aspects, the uplink beam can be the same as the uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource. Similarly, in some aspects, the adjustment can include transmitting the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using a paired uplink beam from a beam pairing reference signal configuration associated with the downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission based on a SIM or BM measurement associated with the downlink beam, rather than the uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource. In some aspects, the adjustment can include receiving the downlink transmission using a paired downlink beam from a downlink SSB that overlaps with a RACH occasion in the full-duplex mode, rather than the downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission. The RACH occasion beam can correspond to the uplink beam used to transmit the multiplexed uplink control information transmission. In some aspects, the adjustment can include transmitting the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using a paired uplink beam from a downlink SSB that overlaps with a RACH occasion in the full-duplex mode, rather than the uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource. The SSB beam can be associated with the downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission. In some aspects, the adjustment can include dropping reception of the downlink transmission based on the multiplexed uplink resource being a half-duplex resource.In some aspects, the adjusting can include dropping transmission of the multiplexed uplink control information transmission based on the multiplexed uplink resource being a half duplex resource.

[0092] Figure 8A FIG. 8 is a flow diagram of a method of wireless communication. The method can be performed by a base station (e.g., the base station 102 / 180, the base station 402a / b / c, the base station 604; the apparatus 1002). The method can enable the base station to improve communications with a UE multiplexing UCI including UCI associated with FD resources and HD resources.

[0093] At 802, the base station determines, based on applying the multiplexing rule for full duplex communications, an uplink beam for receiving a multiplexed uplink control information transmission of a first uplink control information transmission associated with a first uplink beam and a second uplink control information transmission associated with a second uplink beam, at least one of a first uplink resource for the first uplink control information transmission and a second uplink resource for the second uplink control information transmission being for full duplex communications. For example, 802 can be performed by the determination component 1042 in FIG. 8. Figure 10

[0094] At 804, the base station receives the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the beam determined based on the multiplexing rule. For example, Figure 6 The base station 604 in FIG. 8 can receive UCI transmissions for full duplex communications and half duplex communications via full duplex UCI resources carrying information. 804 can be performed by the base station 604 in FIG. 8 using one or more hardware elements of the base station to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission. Figure 10 The UCI reception component 1044 in FIG. 8 can receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission. For example, if the first uplink resource is for half duplex communications and the second uplink resource is for full duplex communications, the base station receives the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the second beam associated with the second uplink resource. Similarly, if the second uplink resource is for half duplex communications and the first uplink resource is for full duplex communications, the base station receives the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the first beam associated with the first uplink resource.

[0095] Figure 8B FIG. 8 is a flow diagram of a method of wireless communication. The method can be performed by a base station (e.g., the base station 102 / 180, the base station 402a / b / c, the base station 604; the apparatus 1002). The method can enable the base station to improve communications with a UE multiplexing UCI including UCI associated with FD resources and HD resources.

[0096] At 852, the base station transmits, to a UE, scheduling information for a downlink transmission associated with a downlink beam. For example, 852 can be performed by the scheduling component 1040 in FIG. 8. Figure 10 ​by scheduling information component 1052. In some aspects, the scheduling information can be Figure 6 scheduling information.

[0097] At 854, the base station adjusts reception of the multiplexed uplink control information transmission or transmission of the downlink transmission based on the downlink beam not being paired with the uplink beam associated with the multiplexed uplink resources for the multiplexed uplink control information transmission. For example, a first beam can be selected based on a first metric (e.g., RSRP) for a half-duplex mode, and a second beam can be selected based on a second metric (e.g., SINR or SIM) for a full-duplex mode, where the second beam is selected to be paired with a third beam for the full-duplex mode. The second metric can include a self-interference metric not included in the first metric. The second beam can be incompatible with the first beam based on self-interference between full-duplex communications overlapping on the first and second beams as a pair for the full-duplex mode. For example, uplink transmissions on the first or second beam can cause a threshold level of self-interference to downlink reception on the other beam in the full-duplex mode. In some aspects, 854 can be performed by Figure 10In some aspects, the adjustment includes receiving the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using a paired uplink beam from the TCI state of the scheduling information for the downlink transmission paired with a downlink beam of the multiplexed uplink control information transmission. In some aspects, the adjustment includes receiving the downlink transmission using a downlink beam from the TCI state of the multiplexed control information uplink resource configuration for the uplink control information transmission paired with an uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource. In some aspects, the adjustment includes receiving the downlink transmission using a paired downlink beam from a reference signal configuration indicating a beam pairing between the uplink beam and the paired downlink beam for beam failure detection or radio link management for the full-duplex communication mode, rather than a downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission, where the uplink beam is the same as an uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource.

In some aspects, the adjustment includes receiving the downlink transmission using a paired downlink beam associated with the uplink beam based on a SIM or BM measurement associated with the uplink beam, rather than a downlink beam from the scheduling information for the downlink transmission, where the uplink beam is the same as an uplink beam of the multiplexed control information uplink resource.
