The disclosures of these prior applications are considered part of and incorporated by reference into this patent application. Technical Field

[0003] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and to techniques and apparatus for detection and reporting of inter-operator user equipment (UE) cross-link interference. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). 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 a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include one or more base stations that support communications for a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a base station via downlink communications and uplink communications. A "downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from a base station to a UE, and an "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from a UE to a base station.

[0006] The above-mentioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at a city, country, region and / or global level. New Radio (NR) (which may be 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving services, utilizing new spectrum, and using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and / or single carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, and supporting beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation, so as to better support mobile broadband Internet access. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the invention

[0042] The various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the present disclosure. Instead, these aspects are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and the protection scope of the present disclosure will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein, whether it is implemented independently or in combination with any other aspect of the present disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement a device or practice method. In addition, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such devices or methods implemented using other structures, functions, or structures and functions other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein or different from the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0043] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0044] Although aspects may be described herein using terminology generally associated with 5G or new radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or post-5G RATs (e.g., 6G).

[0045] Figure 1 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or elements of a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more base stations 110 (shown as BS110a, BS110b, BS110c, and BS110d), a user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other network entities. The base station 110 is an entity that communicates with the UE 120. Base station 110 (sometimes referred to as BS) may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and / or a transmit receive point (TRP). Each base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" may refer to a coverage area of ​​a base station 110 and / or a base station subsystem serving the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0046] The base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by a UE 120 with a service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by a UE 120 with a service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by a UE 120 that has an association with the femto cell (e.g., a UE 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A base station 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro base station. A base station 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico base station. A base station 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto base station or a home base station. In Figure 1In the example shown in , BS 110a may be a macro base station for macro cell 102a, BS 110b may be a pico base station for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c may be a femto base station for femto cell 102c. A base station may support one or more (eg, three) cells.

[0047] In some examples, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cell may move according to the location of the mobile base station 110 (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, the base stations 110 may be interconnected with each other and / or with one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks) using any suitable transport network.

[0048] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive transmissions of data from an upstream station (e.g., a base station 110 or a UE 120) and transmit transmissions of data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE 120 or a base station 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that is capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs 120. Figure 1 In the example shown in , BS 110d (eg, a relay base station) can communicate with BS 110a (eg, a macro base station) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. Base station 110 that relays communication may be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, or the like.

[0049] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes different types of base stations 110, such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, etc. These different types of base stations 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro base station may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while a pico base station, a femto base station, and a relay base station may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 watt to 2 watts).

[0050] A network controller 130 may be coupled to or in communication with a set of base stations 110 and may provide coordination and control for these base stations 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base stations 110 via backhaul communication links. The base stations 110 may communicate directly with each other or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul links.

[0051] UE 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and / or a subscriber unit. UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet computer, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, an industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless medium.

[0052] Some UEs 120 may be considered as machine type communication (MTC) UEs or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered as user premises equipment. UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as a processor component and / or a memory component. In some examples, the processor component and the memory component may be coupled together. For example, a processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and a memory component (e.g., a memory) are operationally coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0053] In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a specific RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. Frequency may be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. In a given geographic area, each frequency may support a single RAT to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0054] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with each other) using one or more side link channels. For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0055] The devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using an electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, the devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency ranges designated FR1 (410 MHz–7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz–52.6 GHz). It should be understood that, although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “below 6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar naming issue sometimes occurs with respect to FR2, which is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, although different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) identified as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

[0056] Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR research has identified the operating bands for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125GHz–24.25GHz). The bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 characteristics and / or FR2 characteristics, so the features of FR1 and / or FR2 can be effectively extended to mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operations to more than 52.6GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6GHz–71GHz), FR4 (52.6GHz–114.25GHz), and FR5 (114.25GHz–300GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0057] Considering the above examples, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "below 6 GHz" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may be lower than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. In addition, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "millimeter wave" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and / or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0058] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include a communications manager 140. In some aspects, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 140 may detect a CLI from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator; and send a UAI including information associated with the CLI from the second channel. Additionally or alternatively, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 140 may detect a CLI from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator; and send a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI from the second channel. Additionally or alternatively, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 140 may detect a CLI from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator; send an L1 indication indicating that the CLI is detected; and send a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI from the second channel, wherein the MAC-CE is sent after sending the L1 indication. Additionally or alternatively, the communications manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0059] In some aspects, a network entity, such as a base station 110, may include a communications manager 150. In some aspects, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 150 may receive a UAI including information associated with a CLI detected by a UE, wherein the UE is operating on a first channel associated with a first operator, and the CLI is from a second channel associated with a second operator; and perform operations associated with mitigating the CLI based at least in part on the information associated with the CLI. Additionally or alternatively, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 150 may receive a MAC-CE including information associated with a CLI detected by a UE, wherein the UE is operating on a first channel associated with a first operator, and the CLI is from a second channel associated with a second operator; and perform operations associated with mitigating the CLI based at least in part on the information associated with the CLI. Additionally or alternatively, as described in greater detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 150 may receive an L1 indication indicating that the UE detected a CLI, wherein the UE is operating on a first channel associated with a first operator and the CLI is from a second channel associated with a second operator; receive a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI detected by the UE, wherein the MAC-CE is received after receiving the L1 indication; and perform one or more operations associated with mitigating the CLI based at least in part on at least one of the L1 indication or the information associated with the CLI. Additionally or alternatively, the communications manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0060] As indicated above, Figure 1 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in relation to Figure 1 Different from what is described.

[0061] Figure 2 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of base station 110 communicating with UE 120 in wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. Base station 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, such as T antennas (T≥1). UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a to 252r, such as R antennas (R≥1).

[0062] At the base station 110, the transmit processor 220 may receive data intended for the UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120) from the data source 212. The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQI) received from the UE 120. The base station 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE 120, and provide data symbols for the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may 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 signals (PSS) or secondary synchronization signals (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., pre-coding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, where applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems) (shown as modems 232a to 232t). For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of the modem 232. Each modem 232 may process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) using a corresponding modulator component to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or up-convert) the output sample stream using a corresponding modulator component to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a to 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas) (shown as antennas 234a to 234t).

[0063] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) may receive downlink signals from the base station 110 and / or other base stations 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems) (shown as modems 254a to 254r). For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of the modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modem 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols where applicable, and may provide detected symbols. The receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to the data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to the controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or a CQI parameter, among other things. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0064] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base station 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0065] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna arrays, etc. Antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (in a single housing or multiple housings), sets of coplanar antenna elements, sets of non-coplanar antenna elements, and / or may be coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components (such as, Figure 2 One or more antenna elements of one or more components in.

[0066] On the uplink, at the UE 120, the transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from the data source 262 and control information from the controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be pre-decoded by the TX MIMO processor 266, where applicable, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the base station 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of an antenna 252, a modem 254, a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a transmit processor 264, and / or a TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (eg, controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform the functions described herein (eg, with reference to FIG. 5A to FIG. 13 ) or any aspect of any of the methods described herein.

[0067] At the base station 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component of the modem 232 shown as DEMOD), detected by the MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to the data sink 239 and the decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The base station 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink communications. In some examples, the modem 232 of the base station 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modem 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform operations described herein (e.g., with reference to FIG. 5A to FIG. 13 ) or any aspect of any of the methods described herein.

[0068] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2Any other components of the base station 110 may perform one or more techniques associated with detection and reporting of inter-operator inter-UE cross-link interference, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component of the Figure 6 The process of 600 Figure 7 The process of 700 Figure 8 The process of 800 Fig. 9 The process of 900 Fig.10 The process of 1000 Fig.11 1100 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, 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, the one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly executed, or executed after compilation, conversion and / or interpretation), may cause the one or more processors, UE 120 and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example, Figure 6 The process of 600 Figure 7 The process of 700 Figure 8 The process of 800 Fig. 9 The process of 900 Fig.10 The process of 1000 Fig.11 The process 1100 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running instructions, converting instructions, compiling instructions, and / or interpreting instructions, etc.

[0069] In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) includes: means for detecting cross link interference (CLI) from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator; and / or means for sending UE assistance information (UAI) including information associated with the CLI from the second channel. In some aspects, the UE includes: means for detecting CLI from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator; and / or means for sending a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI from the second channel. In some aspects, the UE includes: means for detecting CLI from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator; means for sending an L1 indication indicating that the CLI is detected; and / or means for sending a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI from the second channel, wherein the MAC-CE is sent after sending the L1 indication. Means for the UE to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller / processor 280, or memory 282.

[0070] In some aspects, a network entity (e.g., base station 110) includes: means for receiving a UAI including information associated with a CLI detected by a UE, wherein the UE operates on a first channel associated with a first operator and the CLI is from a second channel associated with a second operator; and / or means for performing operations associated with mitigating the CLI based at least in part on the information associated with the CLI. In some aspects, a network entity includes: means for receiving a MAC-CE including information associated with a CLI detected by a UE, wherein the UE operates on a first channel associated with a first operator and the CLI is from a second channel associated with a second operator; and / or means for performing operations associated with mitigating the CLI based at least in part on the information associated with the CLI. In some aspects, the network entity includes: means for receiving an L1 indication indicating that a UE detected a CLI, wherein the UE is operating on a first channel associated with a first operator and the CLI is from a second channel associated with a second operator; means for receiving a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI detected by the UE, wherein the MAC-CE is received after receiving the L1 indication; and / or means for performing one or more operations associated with mitigating the CLI based at least in part on at least one of the L1 indication or the information associated with the CLI. In some aspects, the means for the network entity to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the following: the communication manager 150, the transmit processor 220, the TX MIMO processor 230, the modem 232, the antenna 234, the MIMO detector 236, the receive processor 238, the controller / processor 240, the memory 242, or the scheduler 246.

[0071] Although Figure 2 The blocks in the 200 and 210 are illustrated as distinct components, but the functionality described above for these blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functionality described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and / or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller / processor 280.

[0072] As indicated above, Figure 2 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in relation to Figure 2 Different from what is described.

[0073] Figure 3 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of an O-RAN architecture according to the present disclosure. Figure 3As shown in , the O-RAN architecture may include a control unit (CU) 310 that communicates with a core network 320 via a backhaul link. In addition, the CU 310 may communicate with one or more DUs 330 via corresponding midhaul links. The DUs 330 may each communicate with one or more RUs 340 via corresponding fronthaul links, and the RUs 340 may each communicate with a corresponding UE 120 via a radio frequency (RF) access link. The DU 330 and the RU 340 may also be referred to as O-RAN DU (O-DU) 330 and O-RAN RU (O-RU) 340, respectively.

[0074] In some aspects, the DU 330 and the RU 340 may be implemented according to a functional split architecture, wherein the functionality of a base station 110 (e.g., an eNB or gNB) is provided by the DU 330 and one or more RUs 340 that communicate via a fronthaul link. Thus, as described herein, the base station 110 may include a DU 330 and one or more RUs 340, which may be co-located or geographically distributed. In some aspects, the DU 330 and the associated RU 340 may communicate via the fronthaul link to exchange real-time control plane information via a lower layer split (LLS) control plane (LLS-C) interface, non-real-time management information via an LLS management plane (LLS-M) interface, and / or user plane information via an LLS user plane (LLS-U) interface.

[0075] Thus, the DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions for controlling the operation of one or more RUs 340. For example, in some aspects, the DU 330 may host a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers (e.g., forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and / or modulation and demodulation) based at least in part on the lower layer functional split. Higher layer control functions (such as packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), radio resource control (RRC), and / or service data adaptation protocol (SDAP)) may be hosted by the CU 310. Based at least in part on the lower layer functional split, the RU 340 controlled by the DU 330 may correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions and low PHY layer functions (e.g., fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, and / or physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering). Thus, in the O-RAN architecture, the RU 340 handles all over-the-air (OTA) communications with the UE 120, and the real-time and non-real-time aspects of the control plane and user plane communications with the RU 340 are controlled by the corresponding DU 330, which enables the DU 330 and the CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture.

[0076] As indicated above, Figure 3 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in relation to Figure 3 Different from what is described.

[0077] The wireless communication system may support full-duplex (FD) communication. One type of FD communication is in-band FD (IBFD) communication, which allows wireless communication devices to send uplink communications and receive downlink communications on the same time / frequency resources. Here, the uplink and downlink share the same time / frequency resources (i.e., the uplink resources and downlink resources overlap at least partially in time and frequency). Another type of FD communication is sub-band FD (SBFD) communication (also known as flexible duplex), which allows wireless communication devices to send uplink communications and receive downlink communications simultaneously but on different frequency resources. Here, downlink resources are separated from uplink resources in the frequency domain (e.g., by a guard band). It is worth noting that a given wireless communication system may be designed to support wireless communications between an FD network entity (e.g., a base station) and a half-duplex (HD) UE, wireless communications between an FD network entity and an FD UE, wireless communications between an FD network entity with multiple transmit / receive points (multiple TRPs) and an SBFD UE, and the like.

[0078] With respect to FD communications, a time slot defined as a downlink+uplink (D+U) time slot is a time slot in which the frequency band is used for both uplink and downlink communications. Here, downlink and uplink communications may occur in overlapping frequency resources in the frequency band (e.g., in the case of IBFD) or in separate frequency resources in the frequency band (e.g., in the case of SBFD). In a given symbol of a D+U time slot, an HD UE may send communications in an uplink frequency resource or receive communications in a downlink frequency resource. Conversely, in a given symbol of a D+U time slot, an FD UE may send communications in an uplink frequency resource and / or receive communications in a downlink frequency resource. A D+U time slot may include downlink-only symbols, uplink-only symbols, FD symbols, or some combination thereof.

[0079] One potential disadvantage that may result from FD communications is cross-link interference (CLI). CLI caused by one network entity (e.g., a first base station) at another network entity (e.g., a second base station) is referred to as inter-network entity (e.g., inter-gNB) CLI. CLI caused by one UE at another UE is referred to as inter-UE CLI. In addition, CLI caused by a wireless communication device (e.g., a network entity or UE) associated with a given operator at another wireless communication device (e.g., another network entity or another UE) associated with the same operator is referred to as intra-operator CLI or co-channel CLI (because the CLI occurs within a specific channel associated with the operator). Conversely, CLI caused by a wireless communication device (e.g., a network entity or UE) associated with a first operator at another wireless communication device (e.g., another network entity or another UE) associated with a second operator is referred to as inter-operator CLI or adjacent channel CLI (because the CLI occurs between a channel associated with the first operator and a channel associated with the second operator).

[0080] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an inter-operator UE CLI as described herein. Figure 4 In the example, a first UE (UE1) is associated with a first operator (Op1) and a second UE (UE2) is associated with a second operator (Op2). In this example, the first operator communicates in a first component carrier (CC1) using time division duplexing (TDD), and the second operator communicates in a second component carrier (CC2) adjacent to the first component carrier using an FD network entity. Figure 4 , an example set of slot formats for four slots is shown in FIG. As shown, the slot format on the first component carrier is downlink in the first slot, downlink in the second slot, downlink in the third slot, and uplink in the fourth slot (D, D, D, U), and the slot format on the second component carrier is downlink in the first slot, D+U in the second slot, D+U in the third slot, and downlink in the fourth slot (D, D+U, D+U, D). Figure 4 As indicated in , inter-operator inter-UE CLI occurs in the second time slot, the third time slot, and the fourth time slot. For example, the second UE sends one or more uplink communications in the second time slot and the third time slot, which causes CLI to occur in the corresponding downlink time slot at the first UE. Similarly, the first UE sends one or more uplink communications in the fourth time slot, which causes CLI to occur in the corresponding downlink time slot at the second UE. In this way, inter-operator inter-UE CLI is caused at a UE associated with one operator by interference leakage from an adjacent channel associated with another operator.

[0081] Generally speaking, intra-operator CLI can be mitigated by configuration of the operator's wireless communication system. For example, intra-operator inter-network entity CLI can be mitigated by coordination between network entities of the wireless communication system (e.g., by spatial separation facilitated by beam or codebook restrictions, by power or scheduling adaptation facilitated by power backoff or bandwidth fraction FD partitioning, etc.) or by inter-network entity CLI channel measurement (e.g., so that CLI can be zeroed or eliminated). As another example, intra-operator inter-UE CLI can be mitigated by UE report-based techniques (e.g., CLI assisted scheduling, beam or codebook restrictions, etc.) or UE-based techniques (e.g., spatial zeroing, receiver filtering, etc.).

[0082] Such techniques are unlikely to mitigate inter-operator CLI because coordination between wireless communication devices associated with different operators is generally not possible. Therefore, conventional techniques for mitigating inter-operator CLI include maximizing the separation between frequency resources used for uplink communications and frequency resources used for downlink communications, and in the case of inter-network entity CLI, maintaining spatial separation of co-located antennas at a given network entity. However, such techniques may be undesirable because, for example, the separation of frequency resources reduces the utilization of channels and, therefore, reduces network efficiency and performance.

[0083] Some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatus for detecting and reporting CLI between UEs of different operators. In some aspects, a UE may detect CLI from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator, and may send information associated with the CLI from the second channel. In some aspects, a network entity (e.g., a base station) may receive information associated with the CLI from the second channel, and may perform operations associated with mitigating the CLI from the second channel based at least in part on the information associated with the CLI. The information associated with the CLI may be included in, for example, UE assistance information (UAI) or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE). In this way, mitigation of CLI between UEs of different operators may be achieved, thereby improving the reliability of wireless communications in the presence of CLI between UEs of different operators. In addition, mitigation of CLI between UEs of different operators can improve channel utilization, and thus increase network efficiency and overall network performance. Additional details are provided below.

[0084] FIG. 5A to FIG. 5D is a diagram illustrating an example of detection and reporting of inter-operator UE CLI according to the present disclosure. FIG. 5A to FIG. 5DAs shown in , UE 502 and network entity 504 can exchange wireless communications. In some aspects, UE 502 corresponds to UE 120 or device 1200, as described herein. In some aspects, network entity 504 corresponds to base station 110 or device 1300, as described herein. In some aspects, UE 502 and network entity 504 can be included in a wireless network (such as wireless network 100). UE 502 and network entity 504 can communicate via a wireless access link, which can include an uplink and a downlink.

[0085] exist FIG. 5A to FIG. 5D In the examples shown in , UE 502 and network entity 504 are associated with a first operator (Op1) that utilizes a first channel (Ch1) to enable wireless communications between UE 502 and network entity 504. Additionally, in these examples, UE 506 is associated with a second operator (Op2) that utilizes a second channel (Ch2) to enable wireless communications involving UE 506. Here, the first channel and the second channel are close to each other in frequency (e.g., the first channel and the second channel are adjacent channels).

[0086] Figure 5A A first example associated with detection and reporting of inter-operator UE-to-UE CLI is illustrated. As indicated by reference numeral 508, a network entity 504 may send downlink communications in resources of a first channel associated with a first operator, and a UE 502 may receive downlink communications in resources of the first channel associated with the first operator.

[0087] As shown by reference numeral 510, UE 502 may detect a CLI from a second channel associated with a second operator during operation on a first channel associated with a first operator. Figure 5A As shown in , UE 506 may send uplink communications in the same time slot in which UE 502 is to receive downlink communications. In this scenario, the uplink communications may result in inter-operator inter-UE CLI at UE 502. In some aspects, UE 502 includes a CLI detection component that enables UE 502 to sense inter-operator CLI (e.g., CLI from channels adjacent to or close to channels of the frequency band in which UE 502 is operating). Figure 5A In the example shown in , UE 502 may be able to detect blocking caused by inter-operator inter-UE CLI.

[0088] As indicated by reference numeral 512a, the UE 502 may send UE assistance information (UAI) including information associated with the CLI from the second channel, and the network entity 504 may receive the UE assistance information (UAI) including information associated with the CLI from the second channel. In some aspects, the UAI is communicated via layer 3 (L3) communication (e.g., via RRC signaling). In some aspects, the UE 502 may send the information associated with the CLI from the second channel in another type of information conveyed in the L3 communication, and the network entity 504 may receive the information associated with the CLI from the second channel in another type of information conveyed in the L3 communication.

[0089] In some aspects, the information associated with the CLI includes a binary indication indicating that the CLI was detected in the first channel. That is, in some aspects, the UAI may include a binary indication of whether blocking was detected in the first channel due to the CLI from the second channel. In some aspects, the binary indication may include a one-bit indication indicating whether the UE 502 has detected the CLI in the first channel (e.g., a value of 1 may indicate that the CLI was detected and a value of 0 may indicate that the CLI was not detected).

[0090] Additionally or alternatively, in some aspects, the binary indication may include a bitmap including two or more bits, wherein each bit in the bitmap is associated with one or more channels. For example, in addition to detecting CLI from the second channel, in some aspects, the UE 502 may also be able to detect CLI from a third channel (e.g., another channel adjacent to the first channel). Here, the first bit in the bitmap may be used to indicate whether the UE 502 has detected the CL from the second channel, and the second bit in the bitmap may be used to indicate whether the UE 502 has detected the CLI from the third channel. As another example, in addition to detecting CLI from the second channel, in some aspects, the UE 502 may also be able to detect CLI from one or more channels with a higher frequency than the first channel and CLI from one or more channels with a lower frequency than the first channel. Here, the first bit in the bitmap may be used to indicate whether the UE 502 has detected CLI from any higher frequency channel of the one or more higher frequency channels, and the second bit in the bitmap may be used to indicate whether the UE 502 has detected CLI from any lower frequency channel of the one or more lower frequency channels. Notably, in this example, multiple channels may be associated with the same bit in the bitmap (ie, channels may be grouped together for purposes of indicating CLI detection).

[0091] In some aspects, the information associated with the CLI includes an indication of one or more characteristics of the CLI. For example, the information associated with the CLI may include an indication of the strength of the CLI. As another example, the information associated with the CLI may include an indication of the frequency location of the second channel (e.g., an indication of the specific channel that caused the CLI). As another example, the information associated with the CLI may include an indication of one or more time slots in which the CLI was detected (e.g., a bitmap indicating the time slots of the frame in which the UE 502 detected the CLI).

[0092] In some aspects, the information associated with the CLI may include information associated with the UE preferences. For example, the information associated with the UE preferences may include an indication of a component carrier preferred by the UE 502 (e.g., a component carrier identified by the UE 502 as a component carrier that, if utilized, may reduce the CLI from the second channel). As another example, the information associated with the UE preferences may include an indication of a bandwidth portion preferred by the UE 502 (e.g., a bandwidth portion identified by the UE 502 as a bandwidth portion that, if utilized, may reduce the CLI from the second channel). As another example, the information associated with the UE preferences may include an indication of a downlink transmit power preferred by the UE 502 (e.g., a downlink transmit power identified by the UE 502 as a downlink transmit power that, if utilized, may reduce the impact of the CLI from the second channel). As another example, the information associated with the UE preferences may include an indication of a timing advance (TA) preferred by the UE 502 (e.g., a TA identified by the UE 502 as a TA that, if utilized, may reduce the impact of the CLI from the second channel).

[0093] In some aspects, the UE 502 may send the UAI based at least in part on a time-based trigger associated with the adjacent channel CLI report. For example, the UE 502 may be configured with an adjacent channel CLI report timer and send a UAI indicating whether CLI was detected during a time period before the adjacent channel CLI report timer expires (e.g., a time period when the adjacent channel CLI report timer is running). In some aspects, the UE 502 may restart the adjacent channel CLI report timer and repeat the process. In this way, the UE 502 may be configured to periodically provide UAI associated with the detection of adjacent channel CLI.

[0094] In some aspects, the UE 502 may send the UAI based at least in part on an event-based trigger associated with the adjacent channel CLI report. For example, the UE 502 may be configured to send the UAI including information associated with the CLI detected on the second channel when a characteristic of the CLI from the second channel satisfies a threshold (e.g., when the received signal strength of the CLI from the second channel is greater than or equal to a threshold received signal strength). In some aspects, the UE 502 may send the UAI based at least in part on a combination of a time-based trigger and an event-based trigger.

[0095] In some aspects, the UE 502 may send UE capability information associated with the UE 502 detecting or reporting of inter-operator CLI, and the network entity 504 may receive the UE capability information associated with the UE detecting or reporting of inter-operator CLI. For example, in some wireless communication systems, support for detection and reporting of inter-operator UE CLI may be optional depending on the UE capabilities. The UE capability information may include, for example, an indication that the UE 502 supports detection and reporting of inter-operator UE CLI. In some aspects, the UE capability information indicates whether the UE 502 supports detection and reporting of inter-operator UE CLI, such as by providing UAI (e.g., as relative to Figure 5A ), by providing an uplink MAC-CE (e.g., as described below with respect to Figure 5B and Figure 5C ), or using a hybrid approach (e.g., as described below with respect to Figure 5D In some aspects, the UE capability information may be per UE, per frequency band, or per frequency band combination.

[0096] In some aspects, as indicated by reference numeral 514, the network entity 504 may perform operations associated with mitigating the CLI from the second channel based at least in part on the information associated with the CLI.

[0097] In some aspects, operations associated with mitigating CLI may include modifying parameters associated with sending communications to UE 502. That is, in some aspects, network entity 504 may adapt transmission parameters to be used associated with sending downlink communications to UE 502 in order to mitigate the impact of CLI from the second channel.

[0098] Additionally or alternatively, operations associated with mitigating CLI may include scheduling UE 502 on resources selected based at least in part on information associated with CLI. That is, in some aspects, network entity 504 may schedule UE 502 on different time / frequency resources in order to mitigate the impact of CLI from the second channel. For example, network entity 504 may schedule UE 502 on time slots where CLI is not expected or detected. As another example, network entity 504 may schedule UE 502 on frequency resources that are farther away from the second channel in the frequency domain.

[0099] Additionally or alternatively, operations associated with mitigating CLI may include modifying the format of a time slot to be used for communicating with the UE 502. For example, if multiple UEs 502 have detected CLI leakage from a second channel in a given time slot, the network entity 504 may modify the format of an upcoming time slot (e.g., by changing the time slot to an uplink time slot) in order to mitigate the impact of the CLI from the second channel.

[0100] Figure 5B A second example associated with detection and reporting of inter-operator inter-UE CLI is illustrated. Figure 5B The example shown in Figure 5A The example is similar to that in , except that in some aspects, the UE 502 may send information associated with the CLI from the second channel in the MAC-CE and the network entity 504 may receive information associated with the CLI from the second channel in the MAC-CE, as shown by reference number 512b.

[0101] In some aspects, communication of information associated with the CLI via MAC-CE may be used to address dynamic CLI caused by, for example, dynamic slot format indications (e.g., when the network entity 504 may dynamically change or configure the communication direction of a flexible slot using a slot format indicator (SFI)). Figure 5B The other operations shown in can be combined with Figure 5A The method described above is performed in a similar manner. Figure 5C Included are diagrams illustrating an example structure of a MAC-CE including information associated with a CLI.

[0102] Figure 5D A third example associated with detection and reporting of inter-operator inter-UE CLI is illustrated. Figure 5D The example shown in Figure 5A, except that, in some aspects, a hybrid approach is used to convey information associated with the CLI from the second channel. For example, as shown by reference numeral 512d1, the UE 502 may send a layer 1 (L1) indication indicating that the CLI is detected, and the network entity 504 may receive a layer 1 (L1) indication indicating that the CLI is detected. In some aspects, the L1 indication is sent in one or more bits of uplink control information (UCI). In some aspects, the L1 indication is a binary indication indicating that the CLI is detected in the first channel. In some aspects, the UE 502 may send the L1 indication periodically or on demand (e.g., based at least in part on a request from the network entity 504). Next, as shown by reference numeral 512d2, the UE 502 may send a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI from the second channel, and the network entity 504 may receive a MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI from the second channel. In some aspects, the MAC-CE may be similar to the above with respect to Figure 5B MAC-CE described.

[0103] In some aspects, a hybrid approach using both communicating an L1 indication and communicating information associated with a CLI via a MAC-CE can be used to enable the network entity 504 to quickly adapt parameters used in association with communicating with the UE 502 to mitigate the impact of the CLI. For example, upon receiving the L1 indication, the network entity 504 can lower the MCS used for communicating with the UE 502 (e.g., to improve reliability). Here, after receiving the MAC-CE including information associated with the CLI, the network entity 504 can then perform one or more operations to further mitigate the impact of the CLI. In this manner, the hybrid approach can improve communication reliability and network performance.

[0104] As indicated above, FIG. 5A to FIG. 5D are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in relation to FIG. 5A to FIG. 5D Different from what is described.
