Description

Technical Field

[0001] The following relates to wireless communications, including cross-link interference (CLI) timing alignment for fractional timing advance (TA). Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and the like. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems (such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, advanced LTE (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as new radio (NR) systems). These systems may employ techniques such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations, each of which supports wireless communications for communication devices, which may be referred to as user equipment (UE). Summary of the invention

[0003] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support cross-link interference (CLI) timing alignment for partial timing advance (TA). For example, the described techniques enable a user equipment (UE) to maintain one or more TA parameters to apply to receiving and transmitting data, and enable the UE to perform CLI measurements. In some cases, due to full-duplex capability and partial TA capability, the UE may experience increased timing misalignment between communication symbols. For example, the UE may receive an indication of one or more TA parameters, and may use a first TA parameter to apply to receiving one or more downlink messages and to receive one or more reference signals for performing one or more CLI measurements. In some other examples, the UE may receive two different TA values, and may use a first TA value to apply to receiving one or more downlink messages, and may use a second TA value (e.g., different from the first TA value) to apply to receiving the one or more reference signals for performing the one or more CLI measurements.

[0058] Some wireless communication systems may use different resources for uplink and downlink communications to support simultaneous communication between user equipment (UE) and one or more network entities. For example, devices (e.g., UE, network entity) may use different frequency resources, different time resources, or a combination thereof to communicate. In some cases, devices may experience signaling interference such as cross-link interference (CLI), where the devices interfere with each other when performing wireless communications.

[0059] To address the timing misalignment that may occur between uplink and downlink symbols due to CLI, the UE may apply a constant timing offset of timing advance (TA) to reduce possible performance challenges due to timing misalignment. However, in some cases, applying full TA when the device is operating in full-duplex mode may result in increased misalignment due to loss of orthogonality between uplink and downlink symbols. In such cases, the UE may apply partial TA, which may fine-tune the timing of uplink and downlink symbols to increase alignment.

[0060] The UE may perform CLI measurements to determine the relative strength of the CLI, determine the TA or portion of the TA to be applied to align uplink and downlink communications, or reduce signaling interference. However, in some examples, the device may support different combinations of duplex capabilities and TA application capabilities, which may increase complexity and reduce CLI measurement performance.

[0061] To mitigate the effects of timing misalignment, the UE may be able to maintain two separate TAs and may switch between the TAs for different settings. For example, the UE may apply a first TA to receive downlink data during a downlink reception opportunity, and may apply a second TA to receive reference signaling for performing CLI measurements during a CLI measurement opportunity. The UE may receive control signaling, such as downlink control information (DCI), which may indicate different TA values ​​or indicate whether the UE is able to switch between two TA values. In some other examples, the UE may be able to maintain a single TA value that can support accurate downlink reception and CLI measurement. The UE may determine various coefficients to be applied to an existing TA value to support more efficient alignment, or the UE may receive control signaling to determine various TA values ​​to apply.

[0062] Various aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Various aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated and described by and with reference to TA signaling alignment configurations, TA switching configurations, process flows, apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow diagrams related to CLI timing alignment for partial TAs.

[0063] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting CLI timing alignment for partial TAs according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more network entities 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a long term evolution (LTE) network, an advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a new radio (NR) network, or a network operating according to other systems and radio technologies, including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0064] The network entities 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100, and may include devices in different forms or with different capabilities. In various examples, the network entities 105 may be referred to as network elements, mobility elements, radio access network (RAN) nodes, or network equipment, among other nomenclature. In some examples, the network entities 105 and the UE 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) access links). For example, the network entity 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area) within which the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area within which the network entity 105 and the UE 115 may support signal communications according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0065] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary or mobile or both stationary and mobile at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1 . The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of supporting communications with various types of devices, such as Figure 1 Other UEs 115 or network entities 105 are shown.

[0066] As described herein, a node of the wireless communication system 100 (which may be referred to as a network node or a wireless node) may be a network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), a UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, the node may be a UE 115. As another example, the node may be a network entity 105. As another example, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second node or a third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a network entity 105. In other aspects of this example, the first node, the second node, and the third node may be different relative to these examples. Similarly, references to UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, etc. may include disclosure of UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, etc. as nodes. For example, a disclosure that UE 115 is configured to receive information from network entity 105 also discloses that the first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0067] In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130 or with each other or both. For example, the network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130 via one or more backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to S1, N2, N3 or other interface protocols). In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with each other via the backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to X2, Xn or other interface protocols) directly (e.g., directly between the network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130). In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with each other via the midhaul communication links 162 (e.g., according to the midhaul interface protocol) or the fronthaul communication links 168 (e.g., according to the fronthaul interface protocol) or any combination thereof. The backhaul communication links 120, the midhaul communication links 162, or the fronthaul communication links 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g., electrical links, optical fiber links), one or more wireless links (e.g., radio links, wireless optical links), etc. or various combinations thereof. UE 115 may communicate with core network 130 via communication link 155 .

[0068] One or more of the network entities 105 described herein may include or may be referred to as a base station 140 (e.g., a transceiver base station, a radio base station, an NR base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a Node B, an evolved Node B (eNB), a next generation Node B, or a Gigabit Node B (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a 5G NB, a next generation eNB (ng-eNB), a Home Node B, a Home Evolved Node B, or other suitable terms). In some examples, the network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, stand-alone) base station architecture, which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single network entity 105 (e.g., a single RAN node, such as a base station 140).

[0069] In some examples, the network entity 105 may be implemented in a disaggregated architecture (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture) that may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more network entities 105, such as an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network, an open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or a virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, the network entity 105 may include one or more of the following: a central unit (CU) 160, a distributed unit (DU) 165, a radio unit (RU) 170, a RAN intelligent controller (RIC) 175 (e.g., a near real-time RIC (near RT RIC), a non-real-time RIC (non-RT RIC)), a service management and orchestration (SMO) 180 system, or any combination thereof. The RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, a remote radio head (RRH), a remote radio unit (RRU), or a transmit receive point (TRP). One or more components of the network entity 105 in the decomposed RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of the network entity 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more network entities 105 of the decomposed RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., virtual CU (VCU), virtual DU (VDU), virtual RU (VRU)).

[0070] The functional split between CU 160, DU 165, and RU 170 is flexible and may support different functions, depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, and any combination thereof) are performed at CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170. For example, a functional split of a protocol stack may be employed between CU 160 and DU 165, such that CU 160 may support one or more layers of a protocol stack and DU 165 may support one or more different layers of a protocol stack. In some examples, CU 160 may host higher protocol layer (e.g., layer 3 (L3), layer 2 (L2)) functions and signaling (e.g., radio resource control (RRC), service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)). The CU 160 may be connected to one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170, and the one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170 may host lower protocol layers, such as layer 1 (L1) (e.g., physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer) functions and signaling, and may each be at least partially controlled by the CU 160. Additionally or alternatively, a functional split of the protocol stack may be employed between the DU 165 and the RU 170, such that the DU 165 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and the RU 170 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. The DU 165 may support one or more different cells (e.g., via one or more RUs 170). In some cases, the functional split between CU 160 and DU 165 or between DU 165 and RU 170 may be within the protocol layer (e.g., some functions of the protocol layer may be performed by one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer are performed by different ones of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170). CU 160 may be further functionally split into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. CU 160 may be connected to one or more DUs 165 via midhaul communication links 162 (e.g., F1, F1-c, F1-u), and DU 165 may be connected to one or more RUs 170 via fronthaul communication links 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, midhaul communication link 162 or fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented based on an interface (e.g., a channel) between layers of a protocol stack supported by respective network entities 105 that communicate via such communication links.

[0071] In some wireless communication systems (e.g., wireless communication system 100), infrastructure and spectrum resources for radio access may support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, thereby providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) may be partially controlled by each other. One or more IAB nodes 104 may be referred to as donor entities or IAB donors. One or more DUs 165 or one or more RUs 170 may be controlled in part by one or more CUs 160 associated with a donor network entity 105 (e.g., donor base station 140). One or more donor network entities 105 (e.g., IAB donors) may communicate with one or more additional network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication links 120). The IAB node 104 may include an IAB mobile terminal (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by a coupled IAB donor's DU 165. The IAB-MT may include an independent set of antennas for relaying communications with the UE 115, or may share the same antennas of the IAB node 104 (e.g., of the RU 170) for access via the DU 165 of the IAB node 104 (e.g., referred to as a virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, the IAB node 104 may include a DU 165 that supports communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node 104, UE 115) within a relay chain or configuration (e.g., downstream) of the access network. In such cases, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., one or more IAB nodes 104 or components of the IAB node 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0072] For example, an access network (AN) or RAN may include an access node (e.g., an IAB donor), communications between an IAB node 104, and one or more UEs 115. The IAB donor may facilitate a connection between the core network 130 and the AN (e.g., via a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130). That is, the IAB donor may refer to a RAN node having a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130. The IAB donor may include a CU 160 and at least one DU 165 (e.g., and RU 170), wherein the CU 160 may communicate with the core network 130 via an interface (e.g., a backhaul link). The IAB donor and the IAB node 104 may communicate via an F1 interface according to a protocol defining a signaling message (e.g., an F1AP protocol). Additionally or alternatively, CU 160 may communicate with the core network via an interface (which may be an example of a portion of a backhaul link) and may communicate with other CUs 160 (e.g., CU 160 associated with an alternative IAB donor) via an Xn-C interface (which may be an example of a portion of a backhaul link).

[0073] An IAB node 104 may refer to a RAN node that provides IAB functionality (e.g., access for UE 115, wireless self-backhaul capabilities, etc.). The DU 165 may act as a distributed scheduling node toward child nodes associated with the IAB node 104, and the IAB-MT may act as a scheduled node toward a parent node associated with the IAB node 104. That is, an IAB donor may be referred to as a parent node that communicates with one or more child nodes (e.g., the IAB donor may relay for transmissions to UEs through one or more other IAB nodes 104). Additionally or alternatively, depending on the relay chain or configuration of the AN, the IAB node 104 may also be referred to as a parent node or child node of other IAB nodes 104. Thus, the IAB-MT entity of the IAB node 104 may provide a Uu interface for the child IAB node 104 to receive signaling from the parent IAB node 104 , and a DU interface (eg, DU 165 ) may provide a Uu interface for the parent IAB node 104 to signal to the child IAB node 104 or the UE 115 .

[0074] For example, the IAB node 104 may be referred to as a parent node supporting communications for a child IAB node or as a child IAB node associated with an IAB donor, or both. The IAB donor may include a CU 160 having a wired or wireless connection (e.g., backhaul communication link 120) to the core network 130, and may act as a parent node of the IAB node 104. For example, the DU 165 of the IAB donor may relay the transmission to the UE 115 through the IAB node 104, or may directly signal the transmission to the UE 115, or both. The CU 160 of the IAB donor may signal the establishment of a communication link to the IAB node 104 via the F1 interface, and the IAB node 104 may schedule the transmission (e.g., the transmission relayed from the IAB donor to the UE 115) via the DU 165. That is, data may be relayed to and from the IAB node 104 via signaling via the NR Uu interface of the MT to the IAB node 104. Communications with the IAB node 104 may be scheduled by the DU 165 of the IAB donor, and communications with the IAB node 104 may be scheduled by the DU 165 of the IAB node 104 .

[0075] In the case where the techniques described herein are applied to the context of a decomposed RAN architecture, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture may be configured to support CLI timing alignment for partial TAs as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by a UE 115 or a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may additionally or alternatively be performed by one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., an IAB node 104, a DU 165, a CU 160, a RU 170, a RIC 175, a SMO 180).

[0076] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable term, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, etc. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0077] The UE 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices such as other UEs 115 which may sometimes act as relays, as well as network entities 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1shown.

[0078] The UE 115 and the network entity 105 may use resources associated with one or more carriers to wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., access links). The term "carrier" may refer to a collection of RF spectrum resources having a physical layer structure defined to support the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of an RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating carrier operations, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communications with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, the UE 115 may be configured to have multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation may be used for both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers. Communication between the network entity 105 and other devices may refer to communication between these devices and any portion (e.g., entity, sub-entity) of the network entity 105. For example, the terms "send," "receive," or "communicate" when referring to the network entity 105 may refer to any portion of a network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, CU 160, DU 165, RU 170) of a RAN communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities 105).

[0079] In some examples, such as in a carrier aggregation configuration, a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute RF Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be identified according to a channel raster for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in a standalone mode, in which case initial acquisition and connection may be performed by UE 115 via the carrier, or a carrier may operate in a non-standalone mode, in which case the connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., a different carrier of the same or different radio access technology).

[0080] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include downlink transmissions (e.g., forward link transmissions) from the network entity 105 to the UE 115, uplink transmissions (e.g., return link transmissions) from the UE 115 to the network entity 105, or both, among other transmission configurations. A carrier may carry either downlink communications or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink communications and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode).

[0081] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the RF spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a "system bandwidth" of the carrier or wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a set of bandwidths (e.g., 1.4 megahertz (MHz), 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz) of a carrier of a particular radio access technology. A device (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115, or both) of the wireless communication system 100 may have a hardware configuration that supports communications using a particular carrier bandwidth or may be capable of being configured to support communications using one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a network entity 105 or a UE 115 that supports concurrent communications using carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate using a portion (e.g., a subband, a BWP) or all of a carrier bandwidth.

[0082] The signal waveform transmitted via the carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system using MCM techniques, a resource element may refer to a symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulation symbol) and a resource of a subcarrier, in which case the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), so that a relatively high number of resource elements (e.g., in the transmission duration) and a relatively high order modulation scheme may correspond to a relatively high rate of communication. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of RF spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity used for communication with UE 115.

[0083] The time interval for the network entity 105 or the UE 115 may be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, which may be, for example, a sampling period T s =1 / (Δf max·N f ) seconds, for which Δf max It can represent the supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. Time intervals of the communication resources may be organized according to radio frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0084] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, the frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into a certain number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a certain number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix appended in front of each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, the time slot may be further divided into a plurality of micro time slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., N f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating frequency band.

[0085] A subframe, slot, mini-slot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmit time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0086] According to various techniques, physical channels may be multiplexed using carriers for communication. Physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed for signaling via downlink carriers, for example, using one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) of a physical control channel may be defined by a set of symbol periods and may extend across a system bandwidth of a carrier or a subset of that system bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs in UE115 may monitor or search a control region to obtain control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level of a control channel candidate may refer to the amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for transmitting control information to multiple UEs 115 , and a UE-specific search space set for transmitting control information to a specific UE 115 .

[0087] In some examples, the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140, RUs 170) may be mobile and thus provide communication coverage for mobile coverage areas 110. In some examples, different coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same network entity 105. In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of network entities 105 provide coverage for various coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0088] The wireless communication system 100 may support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140) may have similar frame timing, and transmissions from different network entities 105 may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the network entities 105 may have different frame timing, and in some examples, transmissions from different network entities 105 may not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for synchronous or asynchronous operation.

[0089] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable or low-latency or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communication may include private communication or group communication, and may be supported by one or more services (such as push-to-talk, video, or data). Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0090] In some examples, the UE 115 may be configured to support communication directly with other UEs 115 via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., according to a peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocol). In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in a group that are performing D2D communication may be within a coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, a RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communication configured (e.g., scheduled) by the network entity 105. In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in such a group may be outside of the coverage area 110 of the network entity 105, or may otherwise be unable or not configured to receive transmissions from the network entity 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may support a one-to-many (1:M) system, in which each UE 115 transmits to each of the other UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, network entity 105 may facilitate scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In some other examples, D2D communications may be performed between UEs 115 without involving network entity 105.

[0091] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to an external network. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be delivered through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to the IP service 150 of one or more network operators. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0092] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands that may be in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally speaking, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelength ranges from about one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features (which may be referred to as clusters), but these waves may be sufficient to penetrate structures so that macro cells provide services to UEs 115 located indoors. Communications using UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) than communications using lower frequencies and longer waves in the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0093] The wireless communication system 100 may utilize licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may use unlicensed bands (such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band) to employ license assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology. When operating using unlicensed RF spectrum bands, devices such as network entity 105 and UE 115 may employ carrier sensing for conflict detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations using unlicensed bands may be based on carrier aggregation configuration (e.g., LAA) in conjunction with component carriers operating using licensed bands. Operations using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among others.

[0094] The network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ technologies such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the network entity 105 or UE 115 may be located in one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with the network entity 105 may be located at different geographical locations. The network entity 105 may include an antenna array having a set of antenna ports of multiple rows and columns that the network entity 105 can use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support RF beamforming for signals sent via the antenna ports.

[0095] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115) to shape or direct an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array so that some signals propagating along a particular direction relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals communicated via antenna elements may include the transmitting device or the receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried via antenna elements associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each of these antenna elements may be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular direction (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting device or the receiving device or relative to some other direction).

[0096] The wireless communication system 100 may support simultaneous communication between the UE 115 and the network entity 105 using uplink communication, downlink communication, and sidelink communication. For example, the devices may communicate using different frequency resources, different time resources, or a combination thereof. In some such cases, the devices may experience CLI, where the devices interfere with each other when performing wireless communication (such as when communicating in the same or overlapping frequency band, in a frequency range within a given frequency range, or in a frequency range or frequency band associated with an integer multiple of a given frequency). In addition, some devices may be able to perform full-duplex communication to increase the overall signaling capacity of the wireless communication system 100. In order to address the timing misalignment that may occur between uplink symbols and downlink symbols due to CLI, the UE 115 may apply a constant timing offset or TA to reduce possible timing misalignment. However, in some cases, applying a full TA when operating in full-duplex mode may cause an increase in misalignment due to a loss of orthogonality between uplink symbols and downlink symbols. In such cases, the UE may apply a partial TA, which may fine-tune the timing of uplink symbols and downlink symbols to increase alignment.

[0097] UE 115 may perform CLI measurements to determine the relative strength of CLI, determine the TA or portion of the TA to be applied to align uplink and downlink communications, or reduce signaling interference. However, in some examples, the device may support different combinations of duplex capabilities and TA application capabilities, which may increase complexity and reduce CLI measurement performance. Therefore, in order to mitigate or reduce the impact of timing misalignment, UE 115 may be able to maintain two separate TAs and may switch between TAs for different communication scenarios or operations. For example, UE 115 may apply a first TA to receive downlink data during a downlink reception opportunity, and may apply a second TA to receive reference signaling for performing CLI measurements during a CLI measurement opportunity. In some other examples, UE 115 may be able to maintain a single TA value that can support accurate downlink reception and CLI measurements.

[0098] Figure 2An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports CLI timing alignment for a partial TA according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100. The wireless communication system 200 may include a UE 115-a and a UE 115-b, each of which may be an example of a UE 115 as described herein. The wireless communication system 200 may also include a network entity 105-a and a network entity 105-b, each of which may be an example of a network entity 105 as described herein. The network entities 105 may each be associated with a cell that provides wireless communication within a coverage area 110. For example, the network entity 105-a may provide a cell within the coverage area 110-a, and the network entity 105-b may provide a cell within the coverage area 110-b.

[0099] The wireless communication system 200 may support simultaneous communication between UE 115-a and network entity 105-a and between UE 115-b and network entity 105-b using different resources for uplink communication and downlink communication. For example, devices may communicate using different frequency resources through frequency division duplex (FDD), different time resources through time division duplex (TDD), or a combination thereof. Although FDD systems support both uplink and downlink frequency bands, TDD networks may use the same bandwidth while allocating different time slots for uplink and downlink communications. In some such cases, the wireless communication system 200 may experience signaling interference such as CLI, where devices interfere with each other when transmitting and receiving in the same frequency band.

[0100] UE 115-a or UE 115-b may perform CLI measurements to determine the relative strength of CLI, determine the TA to be applied to align uplink communications and downlink communications, and reduce signaling interference. However, in some examples, CLI may be obtained from other UE transmissions, for example, UE 115-b may be an "aggressor" UE that causes an increase in CLI for UE 115-a (e.g., a "victim" UE). In such cases, UE 115-a may use a different downlink reception timing to perform CLI measurements (e.g., instead of using a default downlink reception timing).

[0101] When UE 115-a measures Sounding Reference Signal-Reference Signal Received Power (SRS-RSRP) and CLI Reference Signal Strength Indicator (CLI-RSSI) values, UE 115-a may apply a constant offset relative to the downlink reference timing in coverage area 110-a. The constant offset value may be derived by the UE specific implementation and may be equal to or greater than a configured threshold offset.

[0102] In the wireless communication system 200, CLI may occur between neighboring UEs (e.g., cell edge UE 115-a and UE 115-b) within similarly sized coverage areas 110-a and 110-b (e.g., wireless cells), which may introduce limited propagation delays, and the CLI measurement timing may be aligned with the uplink transmission timing of the aggressor UE 115-b. For intra-cell and inter-cell CLI, the neighboring UE 115-a and UE 115-b have approximately the same uplink timing. Therefore, the victim UE 115-b can use its own uplink timing for CLI measurements.

[0103] In some examples, UE 115-a and UE 115-b may be able to communicate in full-duplex in a high frequency band (e.g., a mmW band), which may increase the overall signaling capability of the wireless communication system 200. For example, UE 115-a and UE 115-b may support a small antenna array to support full-duplex communication while reducing possible self-interference between transmission and reception. However, in some cases, applying a TA when operating in full-duplex mode may result in misalignment between uplink symbols and downlink symbols at the UE, causing the uplink symbol to appear earlier than the downlink symbol, where the timing difference 205 is equal to the applied TA. In the case where the TA is greater than the cyclic prefix (CP) of the uplink symbol or the downlink symbol, UE 115-a and UE 115-b may experience increased inter-symbol interference due to loss of orthogonality between the uplink symbol and the downlink symbol.

[0104] To mitigate the effects of such misalignment in full-duplex, in some cases, UE 115-a, UE 115-b, or both may apply a partial TA value (e.g., αTA 210) that may allow the UE to compensate for a portion of the TA value indicated by the network. For example, the network may instruct the UE to compensate for a portion of the TA (e.g., an α portion of the TA), where α is a number between 0 and 1 (e.g., {0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1}). In such cases, an α value of 1 (e.g., α=1) is associated with full TA compensation, while an α value of 0 (e.g., α=0) is associated with no TA compensation, and a fractional α value is associated with a fractional or partial TA compensation.

[0105] In some cases, when UE 115-a and UE 115-b apply TA based on the misalignment between uplink symbols and downlink symbols, these UEs may experience increased CLI in full-duplex. In addition, applying partial TA to the uplink and downlink (by UE 115-a, UE 115-b, or both) in a full-duplex environment may cause further misalignment of timing for receiving data and for performing CLI measurements, which may reduce CLI measurement accuracy and degrade overall signaling performance. Therefore, in order to reduce the impact of timing misalignment for performing CLI measurements when partial TA is applied in a full-duplex scenario, UE 115-a and UE 115-b may support various CLI timing rules.

[0106] In a first example, the UE may be able to maintain two separate TAs and may switch between the TAs for different settings. For example, UE 115-a or UE 115-b may apply a first TA to receive downlink data during a downlink reception opportunity and may apply a second TA to receive reference signaling for performing CLI measurements during a CLI measurement opportunity. The UE may receive control signaling (e.g., DCI) that may indicate different TA values ​​or indicate whether the UE is able to switch between two TA values. In some other examples, the UE may be able to maintain a single TA value that may support accurate downlink reception and CLI measurement. UE 115-a, UE 115-b, or both may determine various coefficients to be applied to an existing TA value to support more efficient alignment, or the UE may receive control signaling to determine various TA values ​​to apply.

[0107] Figure 3 Example TA signaling alignment configurations 300-a and 300-b supporting CLI timing alignment for a partial TA according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure are illustrated. For example, the TA signaling alignment configurations 300-a and 300-b may illustrate possible uplink configurations and downlink configurations between an aggressor UE and a victim UE communicating within a wireless communication system (such as the wireless communication system 100 or 200 as described herein).

[0108] In some wireless communication systems, for example, in some wireless communication systems supporting TDD, the timing of CLI symbols used to perform CLI measurements (e.g., CLI measurement opportunity or CLI timing) may be approximately equal to the OFDM uplink symbol timing for both intra-cell deployment and inter-cell deployment. In such cases, CLI occurs between neighboring UEs within a cell or across neighboring cells. However, in some other cases, the UE may support partial TA procedures as well as full-duplex capability, and the timing of CLI symbols used to perform CLI measurements may be different from the OFDM uplink symbol timing. In such cases (e.g., when partial TA is enabled), even if the two neighboring cells are of the same size, the aggressor uplink timing may not be aligned with the victim UE uplink timing, thereby affecting the CLI timing and degrading the CLI measurement performance.

[0109] For example, in the TA signaling alignment configuration 300-a, in the victim UE, when the full TA is greater than the cyclic prefix (CP) of a, the inter-symbol interference of the downlink reception may increase, and the victim UE may adjust the full TA 305 by applying the partial TA 310 so that the applied TA is less than the CP.

[0110] In a specific implementation where the cells of the victim and aggressor UEs have the same cell size and the aggressor UE does not have a partial TA setting, the aggressor UE may implement full TA 305 for its uplink transmissions, and the CLI timing may be approximately equal to the full uplink TA timing. However, the partial TA 310 (e.g., αTA) applied by the victim UE may result in timing misalignment of the CLI measurement, because the CP of the uplink OFDM symbol compensated using partial TA at the victim UE may not overlap with the CLI symbol, which may result in relatively significant interference to the CLI measurement.

[0111] Similarly, in the TA signaling alignment configuration 300-b, a partial TA 320 (e.g., αTA) may be enabled at the aggressor UE, and the victim UE may implement a full TA 315 based on operating in a half-duplex environment. In the case where the cells of the victim and aggressor UEs have approximately the same cell size, the aggressor UE sends an application partial TA 320 (αTA) for its uplink, and the CLI timing measured in the victim UE is approximately the same as the αTA.

[0112] However, in some examples, the victim UE may not be aware of the applied partial TA 310 applied at the aggressor UE and may therefore adjust its TA for CLI timing and may apply full TA for CLI measurements. In such cases, applying a partial TA may result in timing misalignment 325 of the CLI measurements, thereby degrading CLI measurement performance.

[0113] As shown in TA signaling alignment configurations 300-a and 300-b, the uplink timing between the victim UE and the aggressor UE may be equal based on various duplex constraints or capabilities of these UEs, which may result in misalignment. In addition, in the case of different cell sizes, further misalignment may occur. Therefore, in the case of partial TA applied in a full-duplex implementation (or a combination of a full-duplex implementation and a half-duplex implementation), in order to reduce the impact of timing misalignment in performing CLI measurements, the UE may support various CLI timing rules.

[0114] For example, the UE may be able to maintain two separate TAs and may switch between the TAs for different settings. For example, the UE may apply a first TA to receive downlink data during a downlink reception opportunity and may apply a second TA to receive reference signaling for performing CLI measurements during a CLI measurement opportunity. The UE may receive control signaling (e.g., DCI) that may indicate different TA values ​​or indicate whether the UE is able to switch between two TA values. In some other examples, the UE may be able to maintain a single TA value, but the TA value may support both downlink reception and CLI measurements.

[0115] In such cases, the UE may apply different CLI timing rules in the following cases: partial TA is applied at the aggressor UE and full TA is applied at the victim UE; partial TA is applied by the aggressor UE and partial TA is applied by the victim UE; full TA is applied by the aggressor UE and partial TA is applied by the victim UE; and full TA is applied by the aggressor UE and partial TA is applied by the victim UE.

[0116] Figure 4 An example of a TA switching configuration 400 that supports CLI timing alignment for a partial TA according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. For example, the TA switching configuration 400 may illustrate a signaling pattern supported by a UE 115-c, which may be a reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Examples of described UEs. In some examples, UE 115-c may be a victim UE with the ability to maintain a single TA or multiple TAs for use in performing CLI measurements.

[0117] In some examples, UE 115-c may operate under partial TA settings and may support multiple CLI timing operations. In such cases, UE 115-c may apply TA values ​​within CLI measurement opportunities. In some other examples, in order to mitigate the misalignment between CLI timing at UE 115-c (e.g., based on the TA applied by one or more aggressor UEs in neighboring cells), UE 115-c may have the ability to maintain two different TAs (e.g., two different TA values) and may switch between these different TA values ​​under different settings. For example, in switching configuration 405, UE 115-a may switch a first TA (e.g., α TA) to a second TA (e.g., α TA) at opportunities 410-a and 410-b. CLI In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for switching between applying a first TA (e.g., a default TA) to CLI timing and applying a second TA (e.g., an α TA) to data reception opportunities 415-a and 415-b. In such a case, for a case where UE 115-c operates in full-duplex mode, the first TA applied to CLI may support CLI and uplink alignment, and for a case where UE 115-c operates in full-duplex mode, the second TA (e.g., a default TA) may be applied to downlink and uplink alignment.

[0118] In the switching configuration 405, the data occasion may be a time interval when the UE 115-c receives downlink communications, sends uplink communications, or both. In addition, the CLI measurement occasion may be a corresponding time interval when the UE 115-c sends uplink communications, performs CLI measurements in full-duplex mode, or both.

[0119] In some examples, during a CLI measurement opportunity, UE 115-c may apply a factor α to the TA. CLI Then, after the CLI measurement opportunity is completed, the UE 115-c switches back to applying the default coefficient value α to the TA. For example, the UE 115-c may switch back to applying the default coefficient value α according to the timing opportunity. CLI In such an example, the default TA (e.g., α TA) is applied to data opportunities for uplink data transmission and DL data reception, and the CLI TA (e.g., α CLI TA) is applied to uplink transmission and CLI measurement opportunities.

[0120] In some other examples, the UE 115-c may support a single TA for CLI measurements, and the single TA may be applied to both data opportunities and CLI measurement opportunities. In such cases, a single TA may be implemented such that the single TA supports timing alignment for both downlink and uplink data opportunities and CLI measurement opportunities. In some examples, the single TA may be determined or otherwise configured by the network, and the network may send an indication of the single TA to the UE 115-c. In such examples, the network may configure the TA such that it may support timing alignment between data and CLI symbols. In some other examples, the UE 115-c may determine or otherwise configure a single TA (e.g., UE self-specific implementation) such that the TA supports alignment between data and CLI symbols.

[0121] To further support the implementation of a single TA, the network may configure a CLI resource (e.g., a reference signal received power (RSRP) or a received signal strength indicator (RSSI)) for the UE 115-c for CLI measurement. In such a case, one CLI resource may be associated with one (or more) potential aggressor UEs. In some other examples, the network may send a CLI measurement configuration to the UE 115-c indicating whether the CLI resource is applied with a partial TA from the aggressor UE. Based on the indication of the partial TA applied by the aggressor UE, the UE 115-c may classify the CLI resource as a CLI resource associated with an aggressor UE with a partial TA or a CLI resource associated with an aggressor UE without a partial TA. Additionally or alternatively, individual potential aggressor UEs with similar TAs may be configured by the network to be associated with a single CLI resource. For example, each CLI resource may be associated with one or more potential aggressor UEs, and each potential aggressor UE may be associated with one TA, such that the UE 115-c uses the one TA for CLI measurement. In such cases, neighboring potential aggressor UEs may be grouped and associated with one CLI resource, for example, potential aggressor UEs with similar TAs (or similar distances to the serving cell) may be associated with one CLI resource.

[0122] In some other examples, the network may include coefficient α in the configured CLI resource configuration transmitted to UE 115-c. A The coefficient α A The coefficients for the partial TA may be indicated, and the UE 115-c may apply the coefficients to the TA in order to determine an adjusted TA to be applied to data opportunities and CLI measurement opportunities.

[0123] In some other examples, the UE 115-c may receive signaling from the network indicating a TA coefficient configuration (e.g., an α configuration), which may indicate that the UE should apply a coefficient α to the TA value so that the correct or actual TA value is equal to αTA. In some cases, the coefficient α may be configured for a variety of different values ​​and may be included in the CLI resource configuration. In such examples, a default value for the coefficient α may be 1 (e.g., α=1), which may indicate full TA compensation. Additionally or alternatively, the network may define and send a separate message for the coefficient α, wherein the separate message is associated with one or more CLI resources, and wherein the coefficient α may be associated with multiple CLI resources.

[0124] In some other examples, UE 115-c may receive different downlink signaling (e.g., dynamic signaling), such as DCI, to indicate coefficients to use for an upcoming CLI measurement. For example, UE 115-c may implement a default TAαTA during a first data opportunity and may receive DCI at some time prior to an adjacent CLI measurement opportunity. The received DCI may dynamically indicate a TA change, and UE 115-c may switch from the default TA to the TAαTA used for CLI timing at opportunity 410-a. CLI In such an example, the DCI may indicate the CLI TA and αTA) are TA coefficient switches in predefined situations. In some other examples, the DCI may directly indicate different coefficient values.

[0125] Figure 5 Example TA signaling alignment configurations 500-a and 500-b supporting CLI timing alignment for a partial TA according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure are illustrated. For example, the TA signaling alignment configurations 500-a and 500-b may illustrate possible uplink configurations and downlink configurations between an aggressor UE and a victim UE communicating within a wireless communication system.

[0126] The TA signaling alignment configuration 500-a may illustrate a specific implementation in which the aggressor UE is configured to apply a full TA 505 and the victim UE is configured to apply a partial TA 510 (e.g., in this case the aggressor UE does not support the partial TA setting). In such a case, the TA variation between the full TA 505 and the partial TA 510 in the aggressor UE and the victim UE may result in a CLI timing misalignment between the uplink OFDM symbol and the CLI symbol. In such a specific implementation, the victim UE may adjust the TA used for uplink transmission (e.g., the actual TA used).

[0127] For example, in the case where the CLI timing is equal to the uplink timing in the aggressor UE and the victim UE still uses its uplink timing for CLI measurement, applying the partial TA may result in a timing difference of (1-α)TA between the actually used TA (e.g., the expected CLI timing) and the actual CLI timing in the victim UE.

[0128] To support accurate timing alignment, the victim UE may apply a single TA or multiple TAs to mitigate timing misalignment based on full and partial TA differences. For example, if a single TA is used, the victim UE may set a partial TA, αTA, which adjusts the timing difference 515 (e.g., (1-α)TA) between CLI and uplink transmission to be less than the CP length. If multiple (e.g., two) TAs are used, the victim UE may use a full TA within the CLI measurement opportunity and may use an αTA for the downlink reception opportunity.

[0129] TA signaling alignment configuration 500-b may illustrate a configuration in which the aggressor UE is configured to apply a portion of the TA 525 (eg, α A ) and the victim UE is configured to apply part TA 530 (e.g., α V ), so that both the aggressor UE and the victim UE support the specific implementation of partial TA settings. The coefficient α can be used A and α V The partial TA is adjusted according to the full TA 520 .

[0130] Based on the partial TAα applied by the aggressor UE A , the victim UE can determine the coefficient α for partial TA V For example, the victim UE may not estimate the aggressor UE TA directly, but may constrain α A With α V The difference between α and α makes the CLI timing aligned with the uplink timing at 535. In the case where the victim UE supports a single TA, the victim UE can reuse α A As its own coefficient for partial TA (e.g., α A =α V ). In some other examples where the victim UE supports a single TA, the victim UE may determine a constant bound β and may be based on |α A -α V |<β to determine α V In some other cases where the victim UE supports multiple (eg, two) TAs, the victim UE may A Applied to CLI measurement timing, and α V Applicable to data reception measurement timing.

[0131] In the TA signaling alignment configuration 500-b, the aggressor UE may allocate part of the TAα A TA is applied to uplink transmission, and the victim UE can apply partial TAα V The victim UE may then receive the α A The indication and can be based on the constraint |α A -α V |<β to determine α V .

[0132] In some other examples, the aggressor UE may be configured to apply partial TA and the victim UE may be configured to apply full TA. In the case where partial TA causes CLI timing misalignment, and since CLI measurement is transparent to the aggressor UE, the victim UE switches from full-duplex mode to half-duplex mode. In half-duplex mode, the victim UE switches α A The TA may be used for its CLI measurement, or the CLI measurement may be ignored when performing uplink transmission. Additionally or alternatively, the victim UE may use the full TA for CLI measurement.

[0133] In some other examples, both the aggressor UE and the victim UE may be configured to apply full TA, and the victim UE may apply full TA timing for CLI, or the victim UE may select or prioritize TA for data reception opportunities.

[0134] Figure 6 An example of a process flow 600 for supporting CLI timing alignment for a partial TA in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the process flow 600 may implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100. The process flow 600 may include a UE 115-d, each of which may be an example of a UE 115 as described herein, and may be an example of a wireless device as described herein. The process flow 600 may also include a network entity 105-c, each of which may be an example of a network entity as described herein. Alternative examples of the following process flow may be implemented in which some steps are performed in an order different from the order described or not performed at all. In some cases, the steps may include additional features not mentioned below, or additional steps may be added.

[0135] At 605, the network entity 105-c may send, and the UE 115-d may receive, an indication of a first TA parameter (e.g., TA1) to be applied to receiving one or more downlink messages and a second TA parameter (e.g., TA2) to be applied to receiving one or more reference signals associated with one or more CLI measurements. In some examples, the first TA parameter is associated with a first TA coefficient and the second TA parameter is associated with a second TA coefficient, and the first TA parameter is different from the second TA parameter based on the first TA coefficient and the second TA coefficient. In some examples, the second TA parameter is derived or otherwise based on the first TA parameter, and a difference between the first TA parameter and the second TA parameter is less than a threshold timing offset (e.g., a TA offset). In some cases, the first TA parameter and the second TA parameter may be full TA parameters, partial TA parameters, or a combination thereof.

[0136] At 610, UE 115-d may apply the first TA parameter and may receive one or more downlink messages based at least in part on applying the first TA parameter during the first data reception opportunity. In some examples, UE 115-d may apply the first TA coefficient to the first TA parameter and may receive the one or more downlink messages based on applying the first TA coefficient to the first TA parameter.

[0137] At 615, UE 115-d may apply the second TA parameter to receive one or more reference signals during the CLI measurement opportunity. In some examples, UE 115-d may apply the second TA coefficient to the second TA parameter, and may receive the one or more reference signals based on applying the second TA coefficient to the second TA parameter. In some examples, UE 115-d may receive a CLI measurement configuration indicating one or more CLI measurement resources for performing CLI measurements during the CLI measurement opportunity. For example, the CLI measurement configuration may indicate whether a TA parameter is applied to the one or more CLI measurement resources. In some cases, UE 115-d may receive a downlink message separate from the CLI measurement configuration, the downlink message indicating a TA coefficient associated with the one or more CLI measurement resources for performing the one or more CLI measurements.

[0138] At 620, the UE 115-d may receive one or more reference signals during the CLI measurement opportunity. In some examples, the UE 115-d may switch between applying the first TA coefficient to the first TA parameter during the first data reception opportunity and applying the second TA coefficient to the second TA parameter during the CLI measurement opportunity.

[0139] At 625, the UE 115-d may perform one or more CLI measurements based on applying the second TA parameter to receive the one or more reference signals. In some examples, the UE 115-d may receive a downlink control message (e.g., DCI) that includes an indication of the second TA parameter, and the UE 115-d may perform one or more CLI measurements based on the received indication of the second TA parameter. In some cases, the indication of the second TA parameter commands the UE 115-d to switch between applying the first TA parameter during the first data reception and applying the second TA parameter during the CLI measurement opportunity. In some examples, the indication of the second TA parameter indicates a value of the first TA parameter, the second TA parameter, or both.

[0140] In some cases, the wireless device is a first wireless device, and a misalignment may occur between an uplink transmission of the second wireless device and the CLI measurement opportunity, the data reception opportunity, or both. In such cases, the UE 115-d may apply the first TA parameter and the second TA parameter based on prioritizing the reception of the one or more downlink messages over performing the one or more CLI measurements. In some examples, the value of the TA parameter is associated with a timing difference between the CLI measurement opportunity and the uplink transmission of the second wireless device, and the UE 115-d may apply the value of the TA parameter so that the timing difference between the CLI measurement opportunity and the uplink transmission is less than a threshold timing difference. In some other cases, the UE 115-d may switch from full-duplex mode to half-duplex mode based on the misalignment between the CLI measurement opportunity and the uplink transmission of the second wireless device. The UE 115-d may then perform CLI measurements based on applying the TA parameter and switching duplex modes.

[0141] In some examples, the first TA parameter includes a full TA value and the second TA parameter includes a partial TA value. UE115-d may receive the one or more downlink messages based on applying the full TA value and may perform the one or more CLI measurements based on applying the partial TA value.

[0142] In some examples, UE 115-d may receive only a single TA parameter to be applied for receiving one or more downlink messages and to be applied for receiving one or more reference signals associated with one or more CLI measurements (e.g., receiving an indication of the single TA parameter via a downlink control message).

[0143] Figure 7A block diagram 700 of a device 705 supporting CLI timing alignment for partial TAs according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is shown.

[0149] In some examples, the communication manager 720 can be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receive, obtain, monitor, output, send) using or otherwise cooperating with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both. For example, the communication manager 720 can receive information from the receiver 710, transmit information to the transmitter 715, or integrate with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both to obtain information, output information, or perform various other operations as described herein.
