Description

Technical Field

[0001] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications and to techniques and apparatus for scheduling restrictions for layer 1 measurements in layer 1 / layer 2 inter-cell mobility operations. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, 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).

[0003] 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.

[0004] 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 referred to as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to improve spectrum efficiency, reduce costs, improve services, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards by 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

[0024] 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 understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the 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, functionality, or structures and functionality in addition to 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Although various aspects may be described herein using terms generally associated with 5G or new radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), various aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or post-5G RATs (e.g., 6G).

[0027] Figure 11 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 a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, etc. 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 UE 120a, UE120b, UE120c, UE120d, and UE120e), and / or other network entities. The base station 110 is an entity that communicates with the UE 120. The base station 110 (sometimes referred to as a 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 the 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.

[0028] 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 UE 120 with a service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by 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 UE 120 associated with the femto cell (e.g., 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 1 In the example shown, BS 110a may be a macro base station for macrocell 102a, BS 110b may be a pico base station for picocell 102b, and BS 110c may be a femto base station for femtocell 102c. A base station may support one or more (eg, three) cells.

[0029] In some examples, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cell may move depending on 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 to one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network through various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).

[0030] 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, BS 110d (eg, a relay base station) may communicate with BS 110a (eg, a macro base station) and UE 120d to facilitate communications between BS 110a and UE 120d. A base station 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, or the like.

[0031] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including 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).

[0032] 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 the base stations 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base stations 110 via backhaul communication links. The base stations 110 may also communicate directly with each other or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul communication links.

[0033] UE 120 may be distributed throughout 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.

[0034] Some UEs 120 may be considered as machine type communication (MTC) 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 customer 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) may be operably coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0035] 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. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0036] 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.

[0037] The devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using an electromagnetic spectrum that 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 portions of FR1 are greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “below 6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. Similar naming issues sometimes occur 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).

[0038] 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, and therefore 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] As described herein, a network node may also be referred to as a "node" or a "wireless node", and may be a base station (e.g., base station 110), a UE (e.g., UE 120), a relay device, a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components of any of these, and / or another processing entity configured to perform one or more aspects of the techniques described herein. For example, a network node may be a UE. For another example, a network node may be a base station. A network node may be one or more components of a converged base station and / or a decomposed base station. For example, a first network node may be configured to communicate with a second network node or a third network node. The adjectives "first", "second", "third", etc. are used to contextually distinguish between two or more of the modified nouns in conjunction with the discussion, and are not meant to be absolute modifiers that apply only to a corresponding node in the entire document. For example, a network node may be referred to as a "first network node" in conjunction with one discussion, and may be referred to as a "second network node" in conjunction with another discussion, and vice versa. References to UEs, base stations, apparatuses, devices, computing systems, etc. may include disclosure of UEs, base stations, apparatuses, devices, computing systems, etc. as network nodes. For example, the disclosure that the UE is configured to receive information from the base station also discloses that the first network node is configured to receive information from the second network node. Consistent with the present disclosure, once a specific example is expanded according to the present disclosure (e.g., the UE is configured to receive information from the base station also discloses that the first network node is configured to receive information from the second network node), the broader example of the narrower example can be interpreted in reverse, but in a broad, open-ended manner. In the above example that the UE is configured to receive information from the base station also discloses that the first network node is configured to receive information from the second network node, "first network node" may refer to a first UE configured to receive information from a second network, a first base station, a first device, a first equipment, a first computing system, a first one or more components, a first processing entity, etc.; and "second network node" may refer to a second UE, a second base station, a second device, a second equipment, a second computing system, a second one or more components, a second processing entity, etc.

[0041] In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) may include a communications manager 140. As described in greater detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 140 may receive a measurement configuration indicating a scheduling restriction corresponding to a layer 1 (L1) measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 or layer 2 (L1 / L2) inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell, wherein the scheduling restriction prohibits communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol, wherein the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol associated with reception of the reference signal, and wherein the at least one adjacent symbol is not associated with reception of the reference signal; and receive the reference signal based at least in part on the measurement configuration. Additionally or alternatively, the communications manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0042] In some aspects, the network node may include a communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may send a measurement configuration indicating a scheduling restriction corresponding to an L1 measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell, wherein the scheduling restriction prohibits communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol, wherein the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol associated with reception of the reference signal, and wherein the at least one adjacent symbol is not associated with reception of the reference signal; and send the reference signal based at least in part on the measurement configuration. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0043] As indicated above, Figure 1 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 1 Different than described.

[0044] 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).

[0045] 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 allocation 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 modulators) (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 also 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).

[0046] In some aspects, the term "base station" (e.g., base station 110), "network node" or "network entity" may refer to a converged base station, a decomposed base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, and / or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, a "base station", "network node" or "network entity" may refer to a central unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a radio unit (RU), a near real-time (near RT) RAN intelligent controller (RIC) or a non-real-time (non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term "base station", "network node" or "network entity" may refer to a device configured to perform one or more functions (such as those described herein in conjunction with base station 110). In some aspects, the term "base station", "network node" or "network entity" may refer to multiple devices configured to perform one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of a plurality of different devices (which may be located in the same geographical location or in different geographical locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to repeat the execution of at least a portion of the function, and the term "base station", "network node" or "network entity" may refer to any one or more of these different devices. In some aspects, the terms "base station," "network node," or "network entity" may refer to one or more virtual base stations and / or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the terms "base station," "network node," or "network entity" may refer to one of the base station functions but not the other. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] Each of the antenna elements may include one or more sub-elements for radiating or receiving radio frequency signals. For example, a single antenna element may include a first sub-element that is cross-polarized with a second sub-element, which can be used to independently transmit cross-polarized signals. The antenna elements may include patch antennas, dipole antennas, or other types of antennas arranged in a linear pattern, a two-dimensional pattern, or another pattern. The spacing between antenna elements may allow signals having desired wavelengths transmitted individually by the antenna elements to interact or interfere (e.g., to form a desired beam). For example, given a desired wavelength or frequency range, the spacing may provide a quarter wavelength, half wavelength, or other fraction of a wavelength of the spacing between adjacent antenna elements to allow interaction or interference of signals transmitted by individual antenna elements within the desired range.

[0051] Antenna elements and / or sub-elements may be used to generate beams. A "beam" may refer to a directional transmission, such as a wireless signal transmitted in the direction of a receiving device. A beam may include a directional signal, a direction associated with the signal, a set of directional resources associated with the signal (e.g., angle of arrival, horizontal direction, vertical direction), and / or a set of parameters indicating one or more aspects of a directional signal, a direction associated with the signal, and / or a set of directional resources associated with the signal.

[0052] As indicated above, antenna elements and / or sub-elements can be used to generate beams. For example, antenna elements can be individually selected or deselected for transmission of a signal (or multiple signals) by controlling the amplitude of one or more corresponding amplifiers. Beamforming includes generating beams using multiple signals on different antenna elements, wherein one or more or all of the multiple signals are shifted in phase relative to each other. The formed beams may carry physical or higher layer reference signals or information. When each of the multiple signals is radiated from the corresponding antenna element, the radiated signals interact, interfere (constructively and destructively) and amplify with each other to form the resulting beam. The shape (such as amplitude, width and / or the presence of side lobes) and direction (such as the angle of the beam relative to the surface of the antenna array) can be dynamically controlled by modifying the phase shift or phase offset of the multiple signals relative to each other.

[0053] Beamforming may be used for communication between a UE and a base station, such as for millimeter wave communication, etc. In this case, the base station may provide the UE with a configuration of a transmit configuration indicator (TCI) state, which respectively indicates beams that may be used by the UE, such as for receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The base station may indicate an activated TCI state to the UE, and the UE may use the activated TCI state to select a beam for receiving the PDSCH.

[0054] The beam indication may be or include a TCI state information element, a beam ID, spatial relationship information, a TCI state ID, a closed loop index, a panel ID, a TRP ID, and / or a sounding reference signal (SRS) set ID, etc. The TCI state information element (referred to herein as TCI state) may indicate information associated with a beam, such as a downlink beam. For example, the TCI state information element may indicate a TCI state identifier (e.g., tci-StateID), a quasi co-location (QCL) type (e.g., qcl-Type1, qcl-Type2, qcl-TypeA, qcl-TypeB, qcl-TypeC, qcl-TypeD, etc.), a cell identifier (e.g., ServCellIndex), a bandwidth part identifier (bwp-Id), a reference signal identifier (such as CSI-RS (e.g., NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId, SSB-Index, etc.)), etc. The spatial relationship information may similarly indicate information associated with an uplink beam.

[0055] The beam indication may be a joint or separate downlink (DL) / uplink (UL) beam indication in a unified TCI framework. In some cases, the network may use at least UE-specific (unicast) downlink control information (DCI) to indicate a joint or separate DL / UL beam indication from an active TCI state, thereby supporting L1-based beam indication. In some cases, existing DCI formats 1_1 and / or 1_2 may be reused for beam indication. The network may include a support mechanism for the UE to confirm the successful decoding of the beam indication. For example, an ACK / NACK (ACK / NACK) of a PDSCH scheduled by a DCI carrying a beam indication may also be used as an ACK for the DCI. The wireless communication system may support the use of various types of unified TCI. For example, a first type of unified TCI (e.g., type 1 TCI) may be used to indicate a common beam for at least one downlink channel or reference signal and for at least one uplink channel or reference signal (e.g., a joint downlink uplink common TCI state). A second type of unified TCI (e.g., type 2TCI) may be used to indicate a common beam for more than one downlink channel or reference signal (e.g., a separate downlink common TCI state). A third type of unified TCI (e.g., type 3TCI) may be used to indicate a common beam for more than one uplink channel or reference signal (e.g., a separate uplink common TCI state). A fourth type of unified TCI (e.g., type 4TCI) may be used to indicate a beam for a single downlink channel or reference signal (e.g., a separate downlink single channel or reference signal TCI). A fifth type of unified TCI (e.g., type 5TCI) may be used to indicate a beam for a single uplink channel or reference signal (e.g., a separate uplink single channel or reference signal TCI). A sixth type of unified TCI (e.g., type 6TCI) may include uplink spatial relationship information to indicate a beam for a single uplink channel or reference signal.

[0056] Beam indication may be provided for carrier aggregation (CA) scenarios. In a unified TCI framework, the network may support common TCI state ID update and activation information to provide common QCL and / or one or more common UL transmit spatial filters across a set of configured component carriers (CCs). This type of beam indication may be applicable to intra-band CA as well as joint DL / UL beam indication and separate DL / UL beam indication. A common TCI state ID may mean that a reference signal (RS) determined according to the TCI state indicated by the common TCI state ID is used to provide QCL type D indication and determine the UL transmit spatial filter across a set of configured CCs.

[0057] 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, reference Figures 5 to 9 ) or any aspect of any of the methods described herein.

[0058] 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 where 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 the operations described herein (e.g., reference 2 Figures 5 to 9 ) or any aspect of any of the methods described herein.

[0059] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2Any other components in may perform one or more techniques associated with scheduling restrictions for L1 measurements in L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operations, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. In some aspects, the network node described herein is Figure 2 The base station 110 is shown, is included in the base station 110, or includes one or more components of the base station 110. 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 7 700 and / or other processes 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, or 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 700 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.

[0060] In some aspects, a UE includes: means for receiving a measurement configuration indicating a scheduling restriction corresponding to an L1 measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell, wherein the scheduling restriction prohibits communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol, wherein the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol associated with reception of the reference signal, and wherein the at least one adjacent symbol is not associated with reception of the reference signal; and / or means for receiving the reference signal based at least in part on the measurement configuration. Means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of: a communications manager 140, an antenna 252, a modem 254, a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a transmit processor 264, a TX MIMO processor 266, a controller / processor 280, or a memory 282.

[0061] In some aspects, a network node includes: means for sending a measurement configuration indicating a scheduling restriction corresponding to an L1 measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell, wherein the scheduling restriction prohibits communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol, wherein the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol associated with reception of the reference signal, and wherein the at least one adjacent symbol is not associated with reception of the reference signal; and / or means for sending the reference signal based at least in part on the measurement configuration. In some aspects, means for a network node to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of a communications manager 150, a transmit processor 220, a TX MIMO processor 230, a modem 232, an antenna 234, a MIMO detector 236, a receive processor 238, a controller / processor 240, a memory 242, or a scheduler 246.

[0062] Although Figure 2 The blocks in the 2000 and 2010 are illustrated as distinct components, but the functionality described above with respect to 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.

[0063] As indicated above, Figure 2 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 2 Different from what is described.

[0064] The deployment of a communication system (such as a 5G NR system) can be arranged with various components or components in a variety of ways. In a 5G NR system or network, a network node, a network entity, a mobility element of a network, a RAN node, a core network node, a network element, a base station or network equipment can be implemented in an aggregated or decomposed architecture. For example, a base station (such as a Node B (NB), an evolved NB (eNB), an NR BS, a 5G NB, an access point (AP), a TRP or a cell, etc.) or one or more units (or one or more components) that perform base station functionality can be implemented as an aggregated base station (also called an independent base station or a monolithic base station) or a decomposed base station.

[0065] A converged base station may be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or unit). A decomposed base station may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more units (such as a CU, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some examples, a CU may be implemented within a RAN node, and one or more DUs may be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, may be geographically or virtually distributed throughout one or more other RAN nodes. A DU may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU, and RU may also be implemented as a virtual unit, such as a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU), and the like.

[0066] Base station type operations or network designs may take into account the aggregated nature of base station functionality. For example, a decomposed base station may be utilized in an IAB network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (such as a network configuration initiated by the O-RAN Alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also known as a cloud radio access network (C-RAN)) to facilitate the scaling of a communication system by separating base station functionality into one or more units that can be deployed separately. A decomposed base station may include functionality implemented across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as functionality implemented virtually for at least one unit, which may enable flexibility in network design. Individual units of a decomposed base station may be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the decomposed base station.

[0067] Figure 3 3 is a diagram illustrating an example decomposed base station architecture 300 according to the present disclosure. The decomposed base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310, which may communicate directly with a core network 320 via a backhaul link, or indirectly with the core network 320 through one or more decomposed control units (such as a near-RT RIC 325 via an E2 link, or a non-RT RIC 315 associated with a service management and orchestration (SMO) framework 305, or both). The CU 310 may communicate with one or more DUs 330 via respective midhaul links, such as via an F1 interface. Each of the DUs 330 may communicate with one or more RUs 340 via respective fronthaul links. Each of the RUs 340 may communicate with one or more UEs 120 via respective radio frequency (RF) access links. In some implementations, a UE 120 may be served simultaneously by multiple RUs 340.

[0068] Each of the units (including CU 310, DU 330, RU 340) and the near-RT RIC 325, non-RT RIC 315, and SMO framework 305 may include or be coupled to one or more interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals, data, or information (collectively referred to as signals) via a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each of the units or an associated processor or controller that provides instructions to one or more communication interfaces of the corresponding unit may be configured to communicate with one or more of the other units via a transmission medium. In some examples, each of the units may include a wired interface and a wireless interface, the wired interface being configured to receive signals or transmit signals to one or more of the other units via a wired transmission medium, and the wireless interface being configured to receive signals or transmit signals to one or more of the other units via a wireless transmission medium, or both.

[0069] In some aspects, the CU 310 may host one or more higher-layer control functions. Such control functions may include radio resource control (RRC) functions, packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) functions, or service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) functions, etc. Each control function may be implemented using an interface that is configured to communicate signals with other control functions hosted by the CU 310. The CU 310 may be configured to handle user plane functionality (e.g., central unit-user plane (CU-UP) functionality), control plane functionality (e.g., central unit-control plane (CU-CP) functionality), or a combination thereof. In some specific implementations, the CU 310 may be logically split into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. When implemented in an O-RAN configuration, the CU-UP unit may communicate bidirectionally with the CU-CP unit via an interface (such as an E1 interface). As needed, the CU 310 may be implemented to communicate with the DU 330 for network control and signaling.

[0070] Each 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. In some aspects, the DU 330 may host one or more of a radio link control (RLC) layer, a MAC layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers, at least in part, according to a functional partition such as that defined by 3GPP. In some aspects, one or more high PHY layers may be implemented by one or more modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation and demodulation, etc. In some aspects, the DU 330 may also host one or more low PHY layers, such as one or more modules for fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming or physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, etc. Each layer (which may also be referred to as a module) may be implemented using an interface that is configured to communicate signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 330 or with control functions hosted by the CU 310.

[0071] Each RU 340 may implement lower layer functionality. In some deployments, the RU 340 controlled by the DU 330 may correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions based on functional splits (e.g., functional splits defined by 3GPP) such as lower layer functional splits, or low PHY layer functions such as performing FFT, performing iFFT, digital beamforming, or PRACH extraction and filtering, etc. In this architecture, each RU 340 may be operated to handle over-the-air (OTA) communications with one or more UEs 120. In some specific implementations, real-time and non-real-time aspects of control and user plane communications with the RU 340 may be controlled by the corresponding DU 330. In some scenarios, this configuration may enable each DU 330 and CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture such as a vRAN architecture.

[0072] The SMO framework 305 may be configured to support RAN deployment and provisioning of non-virtualized network elements and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 may be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which may be managed via an operation and maintenance interface (such as an O1 interface). For virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 may be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (such as an open cloud (O-Cloud) platform 390) to perform network element lifecycle management (such as instantiating virtualized network elements) via a cloud computing platform interface (such as an O2 interface). Such virtualized network elements may include, but are not limited to, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, non-RT RIC 315, and near-RT RIC 325. In some specific implementations, the SMO framework 305 may communicate with hardware aspects of the 4G RAN (such as an open eNB (O-eNB) 311) via the O1 interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO framework 305 can communicate directly with each of the one or more RUs 340 via a corresponding O1 interface. The SMO framework 305 can also include a non-RT RIC 315 configured to support the functionality of the SMO framework 305.

[0073] The non-RT RIC 315 may be configured to include logic functions that enable non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) workflows including model training and updating, or policy-based guidance of applications / features in the near-RT RIC 325. The non-RT RIC 315 may be coupled to or communicate with the near-RT RIC 325 (such as via an A1 interface). The near-RT RIC 325 may be configured to include logic functions that enable near-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via data collection and actions through an interface (such as via an E2 interface) that connects one or more CUs 310, one or more DUs 330, or both, and the O-eNB with the near-RT RIC 325.

[0074] In some implementations, in order to generate an AI / ML model to be deployed in the near-RT RIC 325, the non-RT RIC 315 may receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server. Such information may be utilized by the near-RT RIC 325 and may be received from a non-network data source or from a network function at the SMO framework 305 or the non-RT RIC 315. In some examples, the non-RT RIC 315 or the near-RT RIC 325 may be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the non-RT RIC 315 may monitor long-term trends and patterns of performance and employ AI / ML models to perform corrective actions through the SMO framework 305 (such as via reconfiguration of the O1 interface) or via the creation of RAN management policies (such as A1 interface policies).

[0075] As indicated above, Figure 3 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 3 Different from what is described.

[0076] FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B are diagrams illustrating examples 400 , 450 of L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility according to the present disclosure.

[0077] In a wireless network such as an NR network, a UE and a network node (e.g., a base station or one or more units or components performing base station functionality) may communicate on an access link using a directional link (e.g., using a high-dimensional phased array) to benefit from beamforming gain and / or maintain acceptable communication quality. However, the directional link typically requires fine alignment of the transmit beam and the receive beam, which may be achieved through a set of operations referred to as beam management and / or beam selection, etc. In addition, the wireless network may support multi-beam operations in relatively high carrier frequencies (e.g., within FR2), which may be associated with harsher propagation conditions than relatively lower carrier frequencies. For example, signals propagating in millimeter wave bands may suffer from increased path loss and severe channel intermittency relative to bands below 6 gigahertz (GHz), and / or may be blocked by objects (e.g., buildings, trees, and / or the user's body, etc.) that are typically present in the environment surrounding the UE. Therefore, beam management is particularly important for multi-beam operations in relatively high carrier frequencies.

[0078] One possible enhancement for multi-beam operation in higher carrier frequencies is to facilitate efficient (e.g., low latency and low overhead) downlink and / or uplink beam management to support higher L1 / L2-centric inter-cell mobility. Therefore, one goal of L1 / L2-centric inter-cell mobility is to enable the UE to perform cell switching via dynamic control signaling at lower layers (e.g., downlink control information (DCI) for L1 signaling or medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC CE) for L2 signaling) instead of semi-static layer 3 (L3) RRC signaling to reduce latency, reduce overhead and / or otherwise improve the efficiency of cell switching.

[0079] For example, Figure 4A An example 400 of a first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique is illustrated, which may be referred to as inter-cell mobility scheme 1, beam-based inter-cell mobility, dynamic point selection-based inter-cell mobility, and / or non-serving cell-based inter-cell mobility, etc. As described in further detail herein, the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique may enable a network node to use L1 signaling (e.g., DCI) or L2 signaling (e.g., MAC-CE) to indicate that a UE will use a beam from a serving cell or a non-serving cell to communicate on an access link. For example, in a wireless network that does not support L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility (e.g., cell switching is triggered only by L3 handover), beam selection for control information and for data is typically limited to beams within a physical cell identifier (PCI) associated with a serving cell. In contrast, in a wireless network that supports the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique (e.g., as Figure 4A ), beam selection for control and data may be extended to include any beam within the serving cell 410 or one or more non-serving neighboring cells 415 configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility.

[0080] For example, in Figure 4AIn the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique shown in , the UE may be configured with a single serving cell 410, and the UE may also be configured with a neighboring cell set including one or more non-serving cells 415 configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility. Typically, the serving cell 410 and the non-serving cell 415 configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility may be associated with a common CU and a common DU, or the serving cell 410 and the non-serving cell 415 configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility may be associated with a common CU and different DUs. In some aspects, as shown by reference numeral 420, the base station may use L1 / L2 signaling (e.g., DCI or MAC-CE) to trigger L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility of the UE, and the L1 / L2 signaling indicates the selected TCI state for QCL with a reference signal associated with the PCI (e.g., synchronization signal block (SSB)). For example, in Figure 4A In the example, the UE may use the PCI associated with the serving cell 410 (e.g., Figure 4A The UE may communicate with the serving cell 410 by using the TCI state of the SSB for QCL (shown as PCI 1 in FIG. 1 ), and the L1 / L2 signaling may be performed by indicating that the UE is to switch to using the PCI associated with the non-serving neighboring cell 415 (e.g., Figure 4A Therefore, in the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technology, a network node (e.g., a common CU controlling the serving cell 410 and the non-serving neighboring cell 415) can use L1 / L2 signaling to select a beam from the serving cell 410 or the non-serving neighboring cell 415 to serve the UE.

[0081] In this way, the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technology can be more robust against blocking and can provide more opportunities for higher-rank spatial division multiplexing across different cells, relative to limiting L1 / L2 beam selection to beams within the serving cell 410. However, the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technology cannot support changing the primary cell (PCell) or primary secondary cell (PSCell) used for the UE. In contrast, in the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technology, triggering a PCell or PSCell change is performed via traditional L3 handover using RRC signaling. In this regard, the first L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technology is associated with the following limitations: when the UE is in the coverage area of ​​the serving cell 410, L1 / L2 signaling can only be used to indicate beams from the serving cell 410 or a configured neighboring cell 415, because L1 / L2 signaling cannot be used to change the PCell or PSCell. Therefore, Figure 4BAn example 450 of a second L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique is illustrated, which may be referred to as inter-cell mobility scheme 2 and / or based on serving inter-cell mobility, etc. As described in further detail herein, the second L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique may enable a network node to use L1 / L2 signaling (e.g., DCI or MAC-CE) to indicate control information associated with an activated cell set and / or a deactivated cell set and / or to indicate a change to a PCell or PSCell within an activated cell set.

[0082] For example, Figure 4B As shown, the second L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technology can use a mechanism that is substantially similar to carrier aggregation to achieve L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility, except that different cells configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility can be on the same carrier frequency. Figure 4B As shown, the network node may configure a cell set 460 for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility (e.g., using RRC signaling). As further shown, the activated cell set 465 may include one or more cells in the configured cell set 460 that are activated and ready for data and / or control transmission. Therefore, in the second L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technology, the deactivated cell set may include one or more cells that are included in the cell set 460 configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility but are not included in the activated cell set 465. However, using L1 / L2 signaling, the cells included in the deactivated cell set can be easily activated and thereby added to the activated cell set 465. Therefore, as shown by reference numeral 470, L1 / L2 signaling can be used for mobility management of the activated cell set 465. For example, in some aspects, L1 / L2 signaling may be used to activate cells within the configured cell set 460 (e.g., add cells to the activated cell set 465), deactivate cells in the activated cell set 465, and / or select beams within cells included in the activated cell set 465. In this manner, the second L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique may use L1 / L2 signaling (e.g., using beam management techniques) to achieve seamless mobility between cells included in the activated cell set 465.

[0083] Furthermore, as indicated by reference numeral 475, the second L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique enables the use of L1 / L2 signaling to set or change a PCell or PSCell from a cell included in the activated cell set 465. Additionally or alternatively, when the cell to become the new PCell or PSCell is in the deactivated cell set (e.g., included in the cell set 460 configured for L1 / L2 mobility, but not included in the activated cell set 465), before further L1 / L2 signaling is used to set the cell as the new PCell or PSCell, L1 / L2 signaling may be used to move the cell from the deactivated cell set to the activated cell set 465. However, in the second L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility technique, when the new PCell or PSCell is not included in the cell set 460 configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility, L3 handover (using RRC signaling) is used to change the PCell or PSCell. In such cases, RRC signaling associated with L3 handover may be used to update cells included in the cell set 460 configured for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility.

[0084] In some cases, L1-RSRP measurement scheduling restriction rules may be implemented for FR1. According to the rule, if an SSB has a different subcarrier spacing (SCS) than the associated physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and / or PDSCH, and the UE does not support simultaneous reception of data and SSBs with different parameter sets, the UE will not transmit or receive on symbols associated with the SSBs configured for L1-RSRP measurements. For UEs that support simultaneous reception of data and SSBs with different parameter sets, there is no restriction on scheduling availability due to L1-RSRP measurements based on the SSBs being configured as reference signals for L1-RSRP measurements. For UEs that do not support simultaneous reception of data and SSBs with different parameter sets, multiple different restrictions may be applied relative to L1-RSRP measurements based on the SSBs being configured for L1-RSRP measurements.

[0085] For example, one restriction may establish that the UE is not expected to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal, or an SRS, or to receive a PDCCH signal, a PDSCH signal, or a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (CSI-RS) for tracking or a CSI-RS for CQI on symbols corresponding to an SSB index configured for L1-RSRP measurement. Another restriction may establish that when intra-band carrier aggregation in FR1 is configured, scheduling restrictions on serving cells performing L1-RSRP measurements apply to all serving cells in the same frequency band on symbols that fully or partially overlap with the restricted symbols. In some cases, when inter-band carrier aggregation within FR1 is configured, there are no scheduling restrictions for FR1 serving cells configured in frequency bands other than the frequency band in which the serving cells performing L1-RSRP measurements are configured. In some cases, a restriction rule may establish that for FR2, the UE will not transmit on symbols of the DL reference signal used for L1-RSRP measurement; and the restriction rule indicates that the UE can only receive on these symbols if the DL RS is a CSI-RS that is QCLed with the PDCCH / PDSCH active TCI and is not in a CSI-RS resource set with repeated ON.

[0086] In some cases, for the case where the RS used for L1-RSRP measurement is a CSI-RS that is QCLed with the active TCI state for PDCCH / PDSCH and is not in a CSI-RS resource set with repetition ON and N=1, there is no scheduling restriction due to L1-RSRP measurement performed based on CSI-RS. The rule may specify that, among other things, the UE is not expected to send a PUCCH signal, a PUSCH signal, or an SRS, or receive a PDCCH signal, a PDSCH signal, a CSI-RS for tracking, or a CSI-RS for CQI on the following symbols: symbols corresponding to an SSB index configured for L1-RSRP measurement, symbols corresponding to a periodic CSI-RS resource configured for L1-RSRP measurement, symbols corresponding to a semi-persistent CSI-RS resource configured for L1-RSRP measurement when the resource is activated, and / or symbols corresponding to an aperiodic CSI-RS resource configured for L1-RSRP measurement when reporting is triggered.

[0087] The above L1 measurement scheduling restriction rules do not accommodate the following scenarios, which may occur in association with L1 / L2 based mobility. In the first scenario, the measured DL RS may be from a neighboring cell, which may be DL synchronized or asynchronous with the serving cell. Two cells are DL synchronized when the DL frame transmission timing is aligned between the two cells. For both DL synchronized and asynchronous cells, the RS reception timing from the neighboring cell may be different from the serving cell reception timing (e.g., the reception timing difference > 1 cyclic prefix (CP)). The above scheduling rules also do not take into account misaligned reception timing.

[0088] In the second scenario, the measured RS from the neighboring cell can be intra-frequency or inter-frequency. If the measured RS is outside the current active DL bandwidth part (BWP), the measurement gap can be used for inter-frequency measurement. In the third scenario, the measured SSBs from the neighboring cell and the serving cell may overlap. The SSBs may have different SCSs and different QCL-TypeD configurations.

[0089] Some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatus for scheduling restrictions for L1 measurements in L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operations. For example, a UE may receive a measurement configuration indicating a scheduling restriction corresponding to an L1 measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell. For example, the first cell may be a source cell (e.g., a serving cell), and the second cell may be a target cell. The scheduling restriction may prohibit the communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol. The at least one adjacent symbol may include at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol but not associated with the reception of the reference signal, the at least one measurement symbol being associated with the reception of the reference signal. The UE may receive the reference signal based at least in part on the measurement configuration. In this manner, the UE may support L1 measurement restrictions for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility, which may enable accommodating scenarios such as, for example, the three scenarios described herein. In this manner, some aspects may facilitate mitigation of potential interference and an increased likelihood of achieving L1 measurements despite a timing difference between the source cell and the target cell, thereby positively impacting network performance.

[0090] As indicated above, FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B Different from what is described.

[0091] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 associated with scheduling restrictions for L1 measurements in L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operations according to the present disclosure. Figure 5As shown, UE 502 can communicate with network node 504 and network node 506. UE 502 can be, be similar to, or include Figure 1 and Figure 2 1 or is included in the UE 120 depicted in FIG. 1 . The network node 504 and / or the network node 506 may be, similar to, or include Figure 1 and 2 The base station 110 and / or Figure 3 One or more components of the decomposed base station architecture 300 depicted in, or included in the base station and / or the one or more components.

[0092] As indicated by reference numeral 508, the network node 504 may send a measurement configuration, and the UE 502 may receive the measurement configuration. The measurement configuration may indicate a scheduling restriction corresponding to an L1 measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell. The scheduling restriction may prohibit the communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol. The at least one adjacent symbol may include at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol, the at least one measurement symbol being associated with the reception of a reference signal. The at least one adjacent symbol is not associated with the reception of a reference signal. For example, the symbol range applicable to the scheduling restriction rule may be extended to take into account different reception timings between the measured cell and the serving cell, rather than restricting scheduling only on symbols associated with the measured downlink reference signal.

[0093] In some aspects, the at least one adjacent symbol may include at least one indication indicating a first group of symbols that occur immediately before the at least one measurement symbol and a second group of symbols that occur immediately after the at least one measurement symbol. The measurement configuration may include at least one of a first indication of a first number of symbols in the first group of symbols or a second indication of a second number of symbols in the second group of symbols. In some aspects, the first number of symbols is equal to the second number of symbols. For example, in some aspects, the scheduling restriction may establish that the UE is not expected to send a PUCCH signal, a PUSCH signal, or an SRS on the DL RS symbol to be measured and on the X data symbols before each consecutive DL RS symbol to be measured and on the X data symbols after each consecutive DL RS symbol to be measured, or receive a PDCCH signal, a PDSCH signal, a tracking reference signal (TRS), or a CSI-RS for CQI. The scheduling restriction may limit scheduling within the measurement window duration. In some aspects, the first number of symbols (e.g., X) may include a configuration value. In some aspects, the first number of symbols may be based at least in part on at least one SCS in a downlink BWP portion associated with the reference signal or a frequency range (e.g., FR1 or FR2) associated with the reference signal. In some aspects, the at least one neighboring symbol may include at least one data symbol. The scheduling restriction may be applied when the cell is synchronized, for example, when the parameter deriveSSB-IndexFromCell is enabled for the measured frequency.

[0094] In some aspects, the scheduling restriction may correspond to at least a portion of the measurement window duration. For example, in some aspects, the scheduling restriction may establish that it is not expected that the UE sends a PUCCH signal, a PUSCH signal, or an SRS on all symbols within the measurement window duration, or receives a PDCCH signal, a PDSCH signal, a TRS, or a CSI-RS for CQI. This restriction may be applied when the cell is not synchronized, for example, when the parameter deriveSSB-IndexFromCell is disabled for the measured frequency. The at least a portion of the measurement window duration may include a portion of the measurement window duration that is less than the entire measurement window duration. In some aspects, the first cell may be synchronized with the second cell, and the SSB index associated with the second cell may correspond to the SSB index associated with the first cell. In some aspects, the scheduling restriction may correspond to the entire measurement window duration. For example, in the case where the source cell and the target cell are synchronized (e.g., when the parameter deriveSSB-IndexFromCell is enabled for the measured frequency), the scheduling restriction may correspond to at least a portion of the measurement window duration. In some other aspects, the first cell may be asynchronous with the second cell (which may alternatively be referred to as "asynchronous"), and the SSB index associated with the second cell may not correspond to the SSB index associated with the first cell.

[0095] In some aspects, the measurement window duration may correspond to at least one of a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window or a measurement gap window. In some aspects, the reference signal may include an SSB associated with a neighboring cell, and the measurement window duration may correspond to the SMTC window. The rule may be applied to synchronous and / or asynchronous serving cells and neighboring cells. In some aspects, the first cell may include a serving cell, and the second cell may include a neighboring cell. The reference signal may include at least one of an SSB configured for a neighboring cell, a CSI-RS configured for a neighboring cell, or a CSI-RS configured for a serving cell, wherein the SSB of the neighboring cell provides a QCL source reference signal for the CSI-RS configured for the serving cell. The SSB for L1 measurement from the neighboring cell may be configured within the SMTC window.

[0096] The scheduling restriction may be applicable to a case where a reference signal may be associated with a first SCS, where the reference signal overlaps with an additional reference signal associated with a second SCS different from the first SCS, and UE 502 does not support simultaneous reception of the reference signal and the additional reference signal. The scheduling restriction may also be applied when the reference signal is associated with a first receive beam and overlaps with an additional reference signal associated with a second receive beam different from the first receive beam, and when the UE does not support simultaneous reception of the reference signal and the additional reference signal. For example, the scheduling restriction may also be applied when the reference signal is a CSI-RS that is not QCLed with a valid TCI for a PDCCH signal or a PDSCH signal, or a CSI-RS in a CSI-RS resource set with repeated "ONs".

[0097] In some aspects, the scheduling restriction may be applied in the absence of a measurement gap. In some other aspects, the scheduling restriction may be applied in the presence of a measurement gap. For example, based at least in part on the reference signal being outside of an active downlink BWP, the scheduling restriction may be applied in the presence of a measurement gap. In some aspects, based at least in part on the active downlink BWP associated with the reference signal being different from an initial downlink BWP, the scheduling restriction may be applied in the presence of a measurement gap. In some aspects, the reference signal may correspond to a first SCS, and based at least in part on the first SCS being different from a second SCS corresponding to the active BWP, the scheduling restriction may be applied in the presence of a measurement gap, where the UE does not support simultaneous reception of signals with different SCSs.

[0098] As shown by reference numeral 510, the network node 504 may transmit a configuration associated with a plurality of candidate cells for L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation, and the UE 502 may receive the configuration. The measurement configuration may indicate a measurement gap configuration set for L1 measurement associated with the plurality of candidate cells. For example, when the UE 502 is configured with a plurality of candidate cells as candidate PCells for L1 / L2-based mobility purposes, the measurement gap configuration set may be configured for L1 measurement of each candidate cell through RRC signaling, and the UE measurement for the candidate cell may be dynamically adjusted.

[0099] As indicated by reference numeral 512, the network node 504 may transmit an indication of a selected measurement gap configuration associated with the measurement gap configuration set, and the UE 502 may receive the indication. For example, the UE 502 may support dynamic measurement gap configuration selection (e.g., at L1 / L2 based cell group mobility / handover). The UE 502 may receive the indication of the selected measurement gap configuration based on receiving at least one of a MAC CE or a DCI transmission. In some aspects, for example, the MAC CE may indicate a subset of measurement gap configurations in the measurement gap configuration set associated with a candidate cell in a plurality of candidate cells. The DCI transmission may indicate a measurement gap configuration in the measurement gap configuration subset. In some aspects, the MAC CE may indicate only one measurement gap configuration in the measurement gap configuration set as an active measurement gap configuration associated with a candidate cell in a plurality of candidate cells.

[0100] As indicated by reference numeral 514, the UE 502 may determine the selected measurement gap configuration based at least in part on a measurement gap parameter corresponding to the selected measurement gap configuration in the set of measurement gap configurations satisfying an implicit condition. For example, an implicit rule may be used to select one of the RRC configuration parameters for the measurement gap. In some aspects, the measurement gap parameter may include a measurement gap configuration identifier (ID), and the measurement gap parameter may satisfy the implicit condition based at least in part on the measurement gap configuration ID having a minimum value among a plurality of values ​​corresponding to a plurality of measurement gap configuration IDs associated with the set of measurement gaps.

[0101] As indicated by reference numeral 516, the network node 504 may transmit a reference signal and the UE 502 may receive the reference signal. In some aspects, the reference signal may include, for example, an SSB, a CSI-RS, and / or a DMRS, etc. As indicated by reference numeral 518, the network node 506 may transmit a reference signal and the UE 502 may receive the reference signal. In some aspects, the reference signal may include, for example, an SSB, a CSI-RS, and / or a DMRS, etc.

[0102] As indicated by reference numeral 520, UE 502 may obtain one or more L1 measurements. For example, UE 502 may obtain one or more L1 measurements associated with a reference signal sent by network node 504 and / or a reference signal sent by network node 506. In some aspects, the L1 measurements may include at least one of an intra-frequency L1 measurement or an inter-frequency L1 measurement. In some aspects, the L1 measurements may correspond to at least one of a time division duplex (TDD) band or a frequency division duplex (FDD) band. The L1 measurements may correspond to at least one of a first frequency range (e.g., FR1), a second frequency range (e.g., FR2), a third frequency range (e.g., FR2-1), or a fourth frequency range (e.g., FR2-2).

[0103] In some aspects, the UE 502 may obtain measurements corresponding to the reference signal based at least in part on receiving the reference signal during a configured time period. For example, the configured time period may include an overlap of a measurement gap and a switching period in the time domain. For example, when a measurement gap is configured, a scheduling restriction may establish that the UE is not expected to detect and / or measure a reference signal that starts earlier than a gap start time plus a switching time, and is not expected to detect and / or measure a reference signal that ends later than an end of the gap minus the switching time. The switching time may be configured by the network node 504 based on the capabilities of the UE 502 and / or specified in a wireless communication standard. For example, in some aspects, the switching time may be 0.5 milliseconds (ms) for frequency range FR1 and 0.25 ms for frequency range FR2.

[0104] In some aspects, the UE 502 may obtain a first L1 measurement associated with a reference signal, wherein the reference signal includes a first SSB, and obtain a second L1 measurement associated with the second SSB based at least in part on the second SSB overlapping the first SSB satisfying an overlap measurement condition. In some aspects, the overlap measurement condition may correspond to a capability of the UE 502. For example, whether the UE 502 is able to measure overlapping SSBs for L1 measurement may be based on UE capabilities or fixed rules. In some aspects, the first SSB may correspond to a first SCS, the second SSB may correspond to a second SCS, and the second SSB may satisfy the overlap measurement condition based at least in part on the second SCS being different from the first SCS. The second SSB may satisfy the overlap measurement condition based at least in part on the QCL associated with the first SSB and the second SSB being unknown.

[0105] In some aspects, the UE 502 may obtain an L1 measurement associated with the measured SSB based at least in part on a first priority of the measured SSB in the first SSB and the second SSB being greater than a second priority of an unmeasured SSB in the first SSB and the second SSB. In some aspects, the first priority may be greater than the second priority based at least in part on the first priority corresponding to a serving cell. In some aspects, the first priority may be greater than the second priority based at least in part on the first priority corresponding to a non-serving cell. In some aspects, the first priority may correspond to a first cell having a first PCI, and the second priority may correspond to a second cell having a second PCI. The first priority may be greater than the second priority based at least in part on the first PCI being greater than or less than the second PCI.

[0106] In some aspects, the first priority may correspond to a first communication failure function, the second priority may correspond to a second communication failure function, and the first priority may be greater than the second priority based at least in part on the first priority corresponding to the first communication failure function. In some aspects, the first priority may be greater than the second priority based at least in part on the first priority corresponding to the communication failure function and the second priority not corresponding to the communication failure function. The communication failure function may include, for example, a beam failure function and / or a link failure recovery function, a beam failure determination (BFD) reference signal, a new beam identification (NBI) reference signal, and / or a radio link monitoring (RLM) reference signal, etc.

[0107] In some aspects, the reference signal may correspond to a first component carrier, and the UE 502 may communicate a signal (e.g., an uplink or downlink data signal) corresponding to a second component carrier that is different from the first component carrier. Both the first component carrier and the second component carrier may be associated with a frequency band or a frequency band combination. Common beam management may be used to separate beams between component carriers. In some aspects, the first cell and the second cell may be synchronized based at least in part on the alignment of at least one cell feature between the first cell and the second cell. The at least one cell feature may include, for example, at least one of a downlink frame transmission boundary, a downlink time slot transmission boundary, or a downlink symbol transmission boundary. In some aspects, the first cell and the second cell may be synchronized based at least in part on the timing difference between the first cell and the second cell satisfying a timing difference threshold. For example, when the two cells are synchronized, the downlink frame, time slot and / or symbol transmission boundaries may be aligned between the two cells (e.g., when deriveSSB-IndexFromCell is enabled for the measured frequency of the adjacent cell). In another example, when two cells are synchronized, the downlink and / or uplink timing difference from and / or to the two cells may be within a threshold (e.g., the downlink receive timing difference of the two cells may be less than the duration of the cyclic prefix in the OFDM symbol, and a single timing advance value may be applied to the two cells in the uplink).

[0108] In some aspects, the UE 502 may obtain multiple L1 measurements based at least in part on UE capabilities. The UE capabilities may be associated with at least one of: a maximum number of identified cells, a maximum number of SSB indices corresponding to an inner-frequency layer, a maximum number of SSB indices corresponding to an inter-frequency layer, a maximum number of PCIs corresponding to an inner-frequency layer, a maximum number of PCIs corresponding to an inter-frequency layer, or a maximum number of SSBs for each identified cell in the identified cells. For example, the scheduling restriction may indicate that for a single inner-frequency layer or inter-frequency layer in a frequency band in FR1, FR2-1, or FR2-2, during each L1 measurement period, the UE 502 should be able to perform L1-RSRP measurements, L1-RSRQ measurements, and L1-SINR measurements for at least the following: X identified cells and Y SSBs with different SSB indices and / or PCIs on the ZSSB of the inner-frequency layer or inter-frequency layer of each identified cell.

[0109] As indicated by reference numeral 522, the UE 502 may obtain an L1 measurement metric corresponding to the L1 measurement. The L1 measurement metric may include at least one of RSRP, signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), or RSRQ, among others.

[0110] As indicated above, Figure 5are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in relation to Figure 5 Different from what is described.

[0111] Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating an example process 600 performed, for example, by a UE in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process 600 is an example in which a UE (eg, UE 502) performs operations associated with scheduling restrictions for L1 measurements in L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operations.

[0112] like Figure 6 As shown in , in some aspects, process 600 may include: receiving a measurement configuration indicating a scheduling restriction corresponding to an L1 measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell, wherein the scheduling restriction prohibits communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol, wherein the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol associated with reception of the reference signal, and wherein the at least one adjacent symbol is not associated with reception of the reference signal (block 610). For example, a UE (e.g., using Figure 8 The communication manager 808 and / or receiving component 802 depicted in may receive a measurement configuration indicating a scheduling restriction corresponding to an L1 measurement of a reference signal associated with an L1 / L2 inter-cell mobility operation associated with a first cell and a second cell, wherein the scheduling restriction prohibits communication of signals other than the reference signal during at least one adjacent symbol, wherein the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one symbol adjacent to at least one measurement symbol associated with reception of the reference signal, and wherein the at least one adjacent symbol is not associated with reception of the reference signal, as described above.

[0113] like Figure 6 As further shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include receiving the reference signal based at least in part on the measurement configuration (block 620). Figure 8 The depicted communications manager 808 and / or receiving component 802) can receive the reference signal based at least in part on the measurement configuration, as described above.

[0114] Process 600 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0115] In some aspects, the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one indication indicating a first group of symbols that occur immediately before the at least one measurement symbol and a second group of symbols that occur immediately after the at least one measurement symbol. In some aspects, the measurement configuration includes at least one of a first indication of a number of first symbols in the first group of symbols or a second indication of a number of second symbols in the second group of symbols. In some aspects, the first number of symbols is equal to the second number of symbols. In some aspects, the first number of symbols includes a configuration value. In some aspects, the first number of symbols is based at least in part on at least one of a downlink bandwidth portion subcarrier spacing associated with a reference signal or a frequency range associated with a reference signal. In some aspects, the at least one adjacent symbol includes at least one data symbol. In some aspects, the scheduling restriction corresponds to at least a portion of a measurement window duration. In some aspects, the at least a portion of the measurement window duration includes a portion of the measurement window duration that is less than the entire measurement window duration.

[0116] In some aspects, the first cell is synchronized with the second cell, and wherein the SSB index associated with the second cell corresponds to the SSB index associated with the first cell. In some aspects, the at least a portion of the measurement window duration includes the entire measurement window duration. In some aspects, the first cell is asynchronous with the second cell, and wherein the SSB index associated with the second cell does not correspond to the SSB index associated with the first cell. In some aspects, the measurement window duration corresponds to at least one of the SMTC window or the measurement gap window. In some aspects, the reference signal includes an SSB associated with a neighboring cell, and wherein the measurement window duration corresponds to the SMTC window. In some aspects, the first cell includes a serving cell and the second cell includes a neighboring cell, and wherein the reference signal includes at least one of the following: an SSB configured for a neighboring cell, a CSI-RS configured for a neighboring cell, or a CSI-RS configured for a serving cell, wherein the SSB of the neighboring cell provides a QCL source reference signal for the CSI-RS configured for the serving cell.

[0117] In some aspects, the L1 measurement includes at least one of an intra-frequency L1 measurement or an inter-frequency L1 measurement. In some aspects, the L1 measurement corresponds to at least one of a time division duplex band or a frequency division duplex band.
