Description

[0001] Cross - Reference to Related Applications

[0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 18 / 050,842, filed on October 28, 2022, entitled "BANDWIDTH PART CONFIGURATIONS FOR MIXED HALF DUPLEX AND SUBBAND FULL DUPLEX COMMUNICATIONS", and assigned to the assignee of the present application. The disclosure of the prior application is considered to be a part of this patent application and is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and relate to techniques and apparatus for bandwidth part configurations for mixed half - duplex and sub - band full - duplex communications. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. A typical wireless communication system may employ multiple access techniques capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access techniques 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 / Advanced LTE is an enhanced collection of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standards promulgated by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communication for wireless communication devices such as user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. The UE may communicate with the network node via downlink communication and uplink communication. "Downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from the network node to the UE, and "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from the UE to the network node. Some wireless networks may support device - to - device communication, such as via a local link (e.g., sidelink (SL), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) link, and / or Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) link, etc.).

[0006] The above multi-access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at the urban, national, regional, and / or global levels. New Radio (NR) (which may be referred to as 5G) is an enhanced set of LTE mobile standards promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by: improving spectral efficiency; reducing costs; enhancing services; leveraging new spectrums; and better integrating with other open standards by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Cyclic Prefix (CP-OFDM) on the downlink, and 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. With the continuous increase in the demand for mobile broadband access, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0030] The present disclosure can be readily used as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for performing the same purposes of the present disclosure. Such equivalent constructions do not depart from the scope of the appended claims. The characteristics (both the organization and method of operation) of the concepts disclosed herein and the associated advantages are better understood when considered in conjunction with the following description and the accompanying drawings. Each of the drawings provided in the accompanying drawings is for purposes of illustration and description only and is not a definition of the limitations of the claims.

[0031] While aspects are described herein by way of illustration of some examples, such aspects can be implemented in many different arrangements and scenarios. The techniques described herein can be implemented using different platform types, devices, systems, shapes, sizes, and / or packaging arrangements. For example, some aspects can be implemented via an integrated chip implementation or other non-module-component-based devices (e.g., end-user devices, vehicles, communication devices, computing devices, industrial equipment, retail / shopping devices, medical devices, and / or artificial intelligence devices). Aspects can be implemented in chip-level components, modular components, non-modular components, non-chip-level components, device-level components, and / or system-level components. Devices incorporating the described aspects and features can include additional components and features for implementing and practicing the claimed and described aspects. For example, the transmission and reception of wireless signals can include one or more components for analog and digital purposes (e.g., hardware components including antennas, radio frequency (RF) chains, power amplifiers, modulators, buffers, processors, interleavers, adders, and / or summers). The aspects described herein can be practiced in a wide variety of devices, components, systems, distributed arrangements, and / or end-user devices of different sizes, shapes, and configurations.

[0032] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the 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 such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0033] While terms generally associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT) may be used herein to describe aspects, aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or post-5G (e.g., 6G) RATs.

[0034] Figure 1FIG. 0 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or elements of a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, and so on. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as network node 110a, network node 110b, network node 110c, and network node 110d), user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other entities. The network node 110 is a network node that communicates with the UE 120. As shown, the network node 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, the network node 110 may be an aggregated network node, which means that the aggregated network node is configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., within a single device or unit). As another example, the network node 110 may be a disaggregated network node (sometimes referred to as a disaggregated base station), which means that the network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more nodes, such as one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs).

[0035] In some examples, the network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with the UE 120 via a radio access link, such as an RU. In some examples, the network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a fronthaul link or a midhaul link, such as a DU. In some examples, the network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a midhaul link or communicates with a core network via a backhaul link, such as a CU. In some examples, the network node 110 (such as an aggregated network node 110 or a disaggregated network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and / or one or more DUs. The network node 110 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, a transmit receive point (TRP), a DU, an RU, a CU, a mobility element of the network, a core network node, a network element, network equipment, a RAN node, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the network nodes 110 may be interconnected with each other or with one or more other network nodes 110 in the wireless network 100 via various types of fronthaul, midhaul, and / or backhaul interfaces, such as direct physical connections, air interfaces, or virtual networks, using any suitable transport network.

[0036] In some examples, network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area. In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), depending on the context in which the term is used, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of network node 110 and / or the network node subsystem serving that coverage area. Network node 110 may provide communication coverage for macro cells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographical area (e.g., with a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with a service subscription. A picocell may cover a relatively small geographical area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with a service subscription. A femtocell may cover a relatively small geographical area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 associated with the femtocell (e.g., UEs 120 in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). The network node 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro network node. The network node 110 for a picocell may be referred to as a pico network node. The network node 110 for a femtocell may be referred to as a femto network node or a home network node. In Figure 1 the example shown in, network node 110a may be a macro network node for macro cell 102a, network node 110b may be a pico network node for picocell 102b, and network node 110c may be a femto network node for femtocell 102c. A network node may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of a cell may move according to the location of a moving network node 110 (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0037] In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to a centralized base station, a split base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, a "base station" or "network node" may refer to a CU, a DU, an 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" or "network node" may refer to a single device configured to perform one or more functions, such as those described herein in connection with network node 110. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to multiple devices configured to perform one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of multiple different devices (which may be located at the same geographical location or different geographical locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to repetitively perform at least a portion of the function, and the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to any one or more of these different devices. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one or more virtual base stations 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 term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one base station function among base station functions, rather than another base station function. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0038] Wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node that can receive transmissions from an upstream node (e.g., network node 110 or UE 120) and forward the data to a downstream node (e.g., UE 120 or network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs 120. In Figure 1 the example shown, network node 110d (e.g., a relay network node) may communicate with network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between network node 110a and UE 120d. A network node 110 that relays communication may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay network node, a relay node, a relay, etc.

[0039] Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes different types of network nodes 110, such as macro network nodes, pico network nodes, femto network nodes, relay network nodes, etc. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different impacts on interference in wireless network 100. For example, a macro network node may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while pico network nodes, femto network nodes, and relay network nodes may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 watt to 2 watts).

[0040] The network controller 130 may be coupled to or communicate with a set of network nodes 110 and may provide coordination and control for these network nodes 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network nodes 110 via a fronthaul communication link or a midhaul communication link. The network nodes 110 may also communicate directly with each other or indirectly via a wireless or wired fronthaul communication link. In some aspects, the network controller 130 may be a CU or a core network device, or may include a CU or a core network device.

[0041] UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. The UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and / or a subscriber unit. The 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, a superbook, 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, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, a UE function of a network node, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0042] Some UEs 120 may be considered machine type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. The MTC UE and / or eMTC UE may include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags, which may communicate with network nodes, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or may be implemented as narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered customer premise equipment. The UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of the 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, the processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory component (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0043] Generally speaking, any number of wireless networks 100 can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network 100 can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. The RAT can be referred to as radio technology, air interface, etc. The frequency can be referred to as carrier, frequency channel, etc. In a given geographical area, each frequency can support a single RAT to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, an NR or 5G RAT network can be deployed.

[0044] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) can communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., communicate with each other without using the network node 110 as an intermediate device). For example, the UE 120 can use peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which can include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocol) and / or mesh network for communication. In such examples, the UE 120 can perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the network node 110.

[0045] The devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, frequency bands, channels, etc. according to frequency or wavelength. For example, the devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using one or more operating frequency bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating frequency bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz - 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz - 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a part of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, in various documents and articles, FR1 is generally (interchangeably) referred to as the "sub-6 GHz" band. Regarding FR2, a similar naming issue sometimes occurs, which is generally (interchangeably) referred to as the "millimeter wave" band in documents and articles, although it is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz - 300 GHz) identified by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as the "millimeter wave" band.

[0046] The frequency between FR1 and FR2 is generally referred to as the mid-band frequency. Recent 5G NR research has identified the operating bands for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designations FR3 (7.125 GHz–24.25 GHz). Bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 characteristics and / or FR2 characteristics, and thus can effectively extend the features of FR1 and / or FR2 to the mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz - 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz - 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz - 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0047] Considering the above examples, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if terms such as "below 6 GHz" are used herein, such terms can be broadly interpreted to mean frequencies that can be below 6 GHz, can be within FR1, or can include mid-band frequencies. In addition, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if terms such as "millimeter wave" are used herein, such terms can be broadly interpreted to mean frequencies that can include mid-band frequencies, can be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and / or FR5, or can 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) can be modified, and the techniques described herein apply to those modified frequency ranges.

[0048] In some aspects, UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive configuration information that indicates a sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) configuration for communicating with a full-duplex network node associated with a time-division duplex (TDD) carrier based on a half-duplex (HD) configuration at the UE, the SBFD configuration corresponding to one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs), the one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) being associated with a plurality of resources including at least one HD resource and at least one SBFD resource, and the one or more BWPs including at least one of a downlink (DL) BWP or an uplink (UL) BWP. And communicate based on the configuration information. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0049] In some aspects, network node 110 may include a communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may send configuration information that indicates an SBFD configuration for communicating with the network node associated with a TDD carrier based on an HD configuration at the UE, the SBFD configuration corresponding to one or more BWPs associated with a plurality of resources including at least one HD resource and at least one SBFD resource, the one or more BWPs including at least one of a DL BWP or a UL BWP. And communicate based on the configuration information. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0050] As indicated above, Figure 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may be different from the example Figure 1 described.

[0051] Figure 2 FIG. 200 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between network node 110 and UE 120 in wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. Network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a through 234t, such as T antennas (T≥1). UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a through 252r, such as R antennas (R≥1). Network node 110 of example 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as antenna 234 and modem 254. In some examples, network node 110 may include an interface, a communication component, or another component that facilitates communication with UE 120 or another network node. Some network nodes 110 may not include radio frequency components that facilitate direct communication with UE 120, such as one or more CUs or one or more DUs.

[0052] At network node 110, transmit processor 220 may receive data destined for UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120) from data source 212. Transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE 120 at least in part based on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE 120. Network node 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 at least in part based on the MCS selected for the UE 120 and may provide data symbols for the UE 120. 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 may provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). Transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems) (shown as modems 232a through 232t). For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of a modem 232. Each modem 232 may process the corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) using the corresponding modulator component to obtain a stream of output samples. Each modem 232 may also process the stream of output samples (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or up-convert) using the corresponding modulator component to obtain a downlink signal. Modems 232a through 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 through 234t).

[0053] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a through 252r) may receive downlink signals from the network node 110 and / or other network nodes 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 through 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 the corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use the demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. The MIMO detector 256 may obtain the received symbols from the modems 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols when applicable, and may provide the detected symbols. The receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide the decoded data for the UE 120 to the data sink 260, and may provide the 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 reference signal received power (RSRP) parameters, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameters, reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameters, and / or CQI parameters, etc. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0054] 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 network node 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0055] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a through 234t and / or antennas 252a through 252r) may include 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., or may 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. The antenna panel, antenna group, set of antenna elements, and / or antenna array may include one or more antenna elements (in a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components (such as Figure 2 one or more components in

[0056] Each antenna element in the antenna element(s) 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, and the second sub-element may be used to independently transmit a cross-polarized signal. The antenna element(s) may include a patch antenna, a dipole antenna, or other types of antennas arranged in a linear pattern, a two-dimensional pattern, or another pattern. The spacing between the antenna elements may be such that signals having a desired wavelength transmitted individually by the antenna elements may interact or interfere with each other (e.g., to form a desired beam). For example, given a desired wavelength or frequency range, the spacing may provide a quarter wavelength, a half wavelength, or other fractional wavelength of the spacing between adjacent antenna elements to allow interaction or interference of signals transmitted by the individual antenna elements within that desired range.

[0057] The antenna element(s) and / or sub-element(s) may be used to generate a beam. 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 the directional signal, the direction associated with the signal, and / or the set of directional resources associated with the signal.

[0058] As indicated above, the antenna element(s) and / or sub-element(s) may be used to generate a beam. For example, the antenna element(s) may be individually selected or deselected for transmission of a signal (or signals) by controlling the amplitude of one or more corresponding amplifiers. Beamforming includes using multiple signals on different antenna elements to generate a beam, where one or more or all of the multiple signals are shifted in phase relative to each other. The formed beam may carry a physical or higher layer reference signal or information. When each of the multiple signals radiates from the corresponding antenna element, the radiated signals interact with each other, interfere (constructively and destructively), and amplify to form the resulting beam. The shape (such as amplitude, width, and / or the presence of sidelobes) and direction (such as the angle of the beam relative to the surface of the antenna array) may be dynamically controlled by modifying the phase shift or phase offset of the multiple signals relative to each other.

[0059] Beamforming can be used for communication between a UE and a network node, such as for millimeter wave communication and the like. In this case, the network node may provide a configuration of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state to the UE, and the transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state respectively indicates beams that can be used by the UE, such as for receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The TCI state indicates spatial parameters for communication. For example, the TCI state for communication may identify a source signal (such as a synchronization signal block, a channel state information reference signal, etc.) and spatial parameters to be derived from the source signal for the purpose of transmitting or receiving communication. For example, the TCI state may indicate a quasi-co-location (QCL) type. The QCL type may indicate one or more spatial parameters to be derived from the source signal. The source signal may be referred to as a QCL source. The network node may indicate an active TCI state to the UE, and the UE may use the active TCI state to select a beam for receiving the PDSCH.

[0060] The beam indication may be or include a TCI state information element, a beam identifier (ID), spatial relation information, a TCI state ID, a closed-loop index, a panel ID, a TRP ID, and / or a sounding reference signal (SRS) set ID, and so on. The TCI state information element (referred to as the TCI state herein) 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 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 a CSI-RS (e.g., NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId, SSB-Index, etc.)), and so on. The spatial relation information may similarly indicate information associated with an uplink beam.

[0061] 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, so as to support layer 1 (L1)-based beam indication. In some cases, the 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 successful decoding of the beam indication. For example, an acknowledgement / negative acknowledgement (ACK / NACK) of a PDSCH scheduled by DCI carrying the beam indication may also be used as an ACK for the DCI.

[0062] Beam indication can be provided for a Carrier Aggregation (CA) scenario. In the unified TCI framework, the network may support common TCI state ID updates and activations to provide common QCL information and / or one or more common UL transmission spatial filters across a configured set of component carriers (CCs). This type of beam indication can be applicable to in-band CA as well as joint DL / UL beam indication and separate DL / UL beam indication. The 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 to determine the UL transmission spatial filter across the configured set of CCs.

[0063] 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-coded by the TX MIMO processor 266 when applicable, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the network node 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 the antenna 252, the modem 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, and / or the TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller / processor 280) and the memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figures 5 to 9 ) any of the methods.

[0064] At network node 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by antenna 234, processed by modem 232 (e.g., the demodulator component of modem 232, shown as DEMOD), detected (where applicable) by MIMO detector 236, and further processed by receive processor 238 to obtain the decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Network node 110 may include communication unit 244 and may communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Network node 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink communication and / or uplink communication. In some examples, modem 232 of network node 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, network node 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 aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figures 5 to 9 ).

[0065] In some aspects, controller / processor 280 may be a component of a processing system. A processing system may generally be a system or series of machines or components that receive input and process the input to produce output (which may be passed to other systems or components such as, for example, UE 120). For example, the processing system of UE 120 may be a system that includes various other components or sub-components of UE 120.

[0066] The processing system of UE 120 may interface with one or more other components of UE 120, process information (such as input or signals) received from one or more other components, or output information to one or more other components. For example, a chip or modem of UE 120 may include: a processing system, a first interface for receiving or obtaining information, and a second interface for outputting, transmitting, or providing information. In some examples, the first interface may be an interface between the processing system of the chip or modem and the receiver such that UE 120 may receive information or signal input and may pass the information to the processing system. In some examples, the second interface may be an interface between the processing system of the chip or modem and the transmitter such that UE 120 may transmit information output from the chip or modem. One of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the second interface may also obtain or receive information or signal input and the first interface may also output, transmit, or provide information.

[0067] In some aspects, the controller / processor 240 can be a component of a processing system. A processing system can generally be a system or a series of machines or components that receive inputs and process the inputs to produce outputs (which can be passed to other systems or components such as the network node 110). For example, the processing system of the network node 110 can be a system that includes various other components or sub-components of the network node 110.

[0068] The processing system of the network node 110 can interface with one or more other components of the network node 110, process information (such as inputs or signals) received from one or more other components, or output information to one or more other components. For example, a chip or modem of the network node 110 can include: a processing system, a first interface for receiving or obtaining information, and a second interface for outputting, transmitting, or providing information. In some examples, the first interface can be an interface between the processing system of the chip or modem and a receiver, such that the network node 110 can receive information or signal inputs and can pass the information to the processing system. In some examples, the second interface can be an interface between the processing system of the chip or modem and a transmitter, such that the network node 110 can transmit the information output from the chip or modem. Those of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the second interface can also obtain or receive information or signal inputs, and the first interface can also output, transmit, or provide information.

[0069] The controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 any other component in can perform one or more techniques associated with BWP configuration for hybrid HD / SBFD communication, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 any other component of can perform or direct the operation of, for example, Figure 6 process 600 of, Figure 7 process 700 of, and / or other processes as described herein. The memories 242 and 282 can store data and program code for the network node 110 and the UE 120, respectively. In some examples, the memory 242 and / or the memory 282 can include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when the one or more instructions are executed by one or more processors of the network node 110 and / or the UE 120 (e.g., directly executed, or after compilation, transformation, and / or interpretation), they can cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and / or the network node 110 to perform or direct, for example,Figure 6 Process 600, Figure 7 operation of Process 700 and / or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running instructions, converting instructions, compiling instructions, and / or interpreting instructions, and so on.

[0070] In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) includes components for receiving configuration information that indicates an SBFD configuration for communicating with a full-duplex network node associated with a TDD carrier based on an HD configuration at the UE, the SBFD configuration corresponding to one or more BWPs associated with a plurality of resources including at least one HD resource and at least one SBFD resource, the one or more BWPs including at least one of a DL BWP or a UL BWP. And / or components for communicating based on the configuration information. The components for the UE to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the following: communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller / processor 280, or memory 282.

[0071] In some aspects, a network node (e.g., network node 110) includes components for sending configuration information that indicates an SBFD configuration for communicating with the network node associated with a TDD carrier based on an HD configuration at a UE, the SBFD configuration corresponding to one or more BWPs associated with a plurality of resources including at least one HD resource and at least one SBFD resource, the one or more BWPs including at least one of a DL BWP or a UL BWP. And / or components for communicating based on the configuration information. The components for the network node to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the following: communication manager 150, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modem 232, antenna 234, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller / processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.

[0072] Although Figure 2 the boxes in are illustrated as different components, the functions described above for these boxes may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described for transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by controller / processor 280 or under the control of the controller / processor.

[0073] As indicated above, Figure 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may relate to Figure 2The described examples are different.

[0074] The deployment of a communication system (such as a 5G NR system) can be arranged with various components or constituent parts in various ways. In a 5G NR system or network, network nodes, network entities, mobility elements of the network, RAN nodes, core network nodes, network elements, base stations, or network equipment can be implemented in a converged or disaggregated architecture. For example, a base station (such as Node B (NB), evolved NB (eNB), NR BS, 5G NB, access point (AP), TRP, or cell, etc.) or one or more units (or one or more components) performing base station functionality can be implemented as a converged base station (also referred to as a stand-alone base station or a monolithic base station) or a disaggregated base station. A "network entity" or "network node" can refer to a disaggregated base station or one or more units of a disaggregated base station (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs, or a combination thereof).

[0075] A converged base station (e.g., a converged network node) can 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 disaggregated base station (e.g., a disaggregated network node) can be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among two or more units (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some examples, a CU can be implemented within a network node, and one or more DUs can be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, can be geographically or virtually spread across one or more other network nodes. A DU can be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU, and RU can 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), etc.

[0076] Base station type operations or network designs can consider the aggregation characteristics of base station functionality. For example, a disaggregated base station can 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 referred to 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 disaggregated base station can include functionality implemented across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as functionality implemented virtually for at least one unit, which can achieve flexibility in network design. The individual units of a disaggregated base station can be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the disaggregated base station.

[0077] Figure 3FIG. 0 is a diagram illustrating an example disaggregated base station architecture 300 in accordance with the present disclosure. The disaggregated base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310 that may communicate directly with a core network 320 via a backhaul link or indirectly with the core network 320 through one or more disaggregated 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 DU in the DUs 330 may communicate with one or more RUs 340 via a respective fronthaul link. Each RU in the RUs 340 may communicate with one or more UEs 120 via a respective radio frequency (RF) access link. In some particular implementations, a UE 120 may be served simultaneously by multiple RUs 340.

[0078] Each unit (including the CU 310, DU 330, RU 340) and the near RT RIC 325, non-RT RIC 315, and SMO framework 305 may include one or more interfaces or be coupled to one or more interfaces that are configured to receive or transmit signals, data, or information (collectively referred to as signals) via a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each unit in the units or an associated processor or controller that provides instructions to one or more communication interfaces of a respective unit may be configured to communicate with one or more of the other units via the transmission medium. In some examples, each unit in 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 may include a receiver, a transmitter, or a transceiver (such as an RF transceiver) that is configured to receive signals or transmit signals to one or more of the other units via a wireless transmission medium or both.

[0079] 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, service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) functions, and so on. 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 embodiments, 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 units may communicate bi - directionally with the CU - CP units via an interface such as the E1 interface. As needed, the CU 310 may be implemented to communicate with the DU 330 for network control and signaling.

[0080] 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 at least part of the radio link control (RLC) layer, the MAC layer, and one or more higher physical (PHY) layers, such as according to a functional split defined by 3GPP. In some aspects, one or more higher PHY layers may be implemented by one or more modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and modulation and demodulation, etc. In some aspects, the DU 330 may further host one or more lower PHY layers, such as implemented by 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.

[0081] Each RU 340 can implement lower layer functionality. In some deployments, the RU 340 controlled by the DU 330 can correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions or low PHY layer functions (such as performing FFT, performing iFFT, digital beamforming, or PRACH extraction and filtering, etc.) based on function splitting (such as the function splitting defined by 3GPP), such as lower layer function splitting. In such an architecture, each RU 340 can be operated to handle over-the-air (OTA) communication with one or more UEs 120. In some embodiments, the real-time and non-real-time aspects of the control plane and user plane communication with the RU 340 can be controlled by the corresponding DU 330. In some scenarios, this configuration can enable each DU 330 and CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture (such as a vRAN architecture).

[0082] The SMO framework 305 can be configured to support the deployment and orchestration of RAN for non-virtualized network elements and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 can be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, and these dedicated physical resources can be managed via an operation and maintenance interface (such as the O1 interface). For virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 can be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (such as the 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 the O2 interface). Such virtualized network elements can include, but are not limited to, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, non-RT RIC 315, and near-RT RIC 325. In some embodiments, the SMO framework 305 can communicate with the hardware aspect of the 4G RAN (such as the Open eNB (O-eNB) 311) via the O1 interface. Additionally, in some embodiments, the SMO framework 305 can directly communicate with each RU in one or more RUs 340 via the 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.

[0083] The non-RT RIC 315 can be configured to include logic functions that can implement 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 can be coupled to or communicate with the near-RT RIC 325 (such as via the A1 interface). The near-RT RIC 325 can be configured to include logic functions that can implement near-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via an interface (such as via the E2 interface) through data collection and actions, and this interface connects one or more CUs 310, one or more DUs 330, or both, and the O-eNB to the near-RT RIC 325.

[0084] In some specific implementations, in order to generate the AI / ML model to be deployed in the near-RT RIC 325, the non-RT RIC 315 can receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server. Such information can be utilized by the near-RT RIC 325 and can be received from non-network data sources or from network functions 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 can be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the non-RT RIC 315 can monitor long-term trends and patterns of performance and employ an AI / ML model to perform corrective actions through the SMO framework 305 (such as reconfiguration via the O1 interface) or via the creation of RAN management policies (such as A1 interface policies).

[0085] As indicated above, Figure 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may be different from the examples described with respect to Figure 3 those described.

[0086] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating Example 400 of full-duplex (FD) communication according to the present disclosure.

[0087] FD communication is communication that utilizes overlapping time resources for transmission and reception at a single node, such as a UE or a base station. For example, a UE or a network node may use the same time resources for transmission and reception, such as via frequency division multiplexing (FDM) or space division multiplexing (SDM). "FDM" refers to performing two or more communications using different frequency resource allocations. "SDM" refers to performing two or more communications using different spatial parameters, such as different transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states that define different beams. SDM communication may use overlapping time resources and frequency resources, and FDM communication may use overlapping time resources and spatial resources (i.e., overlapping beam parameters, TCI states, etc.). The TCI state indicates the spatial parameters for communication. For example, the TCI state for communication may identify a source signal, such as a synchronization signal block, a channel state information reference signal, etc., and the spatial parameters to be derived from the source signal for the purpose of transmitting or receiving the communication. For example, the TCI state may indicate a quasi co-location (QCL) type. The QCL type may indicate one or more spatial parameters to be derived from the source signal. The source signal may be referred to as a QCL source. FD communication may include dynamic traffic and / or semi-static traffic (such as scheduled by downlink control information (DCI)). Semi-static traffic is traffic associated with semi-persistent resources, such as resources configured by semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or configured grant (CG).

[0088] Example 400 includes two UEs shown as UE1 402-1 and UE2 402-2, and a network node 404, where UE1 402-1 is receiving a downlink transmission from the network node 404, and UE2 402-2 is transmitting an uplink transmission to the network node 404. Full duplex is enabled for the network node 404, but not necessarily for UE1 402-1 and UE2 402-2 (e.g., UE1 402-1 and / or UE2 402-2 may operate in a half-duplex communication mode).

[0089] Resources (e.g., time slots and / or symbols) may be configured to have an SBFD format. Resources with an SBFD format include one or more SBFD symbols. An SBFD symbol is a symbol having one or more subbands (referred to herein as SBFD subbands), and the network node (such as a gNB) may use or will use the one or more subbands for SBFD operations. For SBFD operations within a TDD carrier, the SBFD subbands may include one resource block or a set of consecutive resource blocks for the same transmission direction. In some aspects, for SBFD operations within a TDD carrier, the SBFD subbands consist of one resource block or a set of consecutive resource blocks for the same transmission direction. In some aspects, an "SBFD symbol" is defined as a symbol having subbands that the network node will use for SBFD operations. In some aspects, for SBFD operations within a TDD carrier, the SBFD subbands consist of one resource block (RB) or a set of consecutive RBs for the same transmission direction.

[0090] SBFD resources (i.e., resources with an SBFD format) may include one or more symbols and / or one or more time slots. As mentioned above, SBFD resources may include at least one uplink subband (i.e., a subband for uplink communication of a UE) and at least one downlink subband (i.e., a subband for downlink communication of a UE). Example 406 includes two non - consecutive downlink subbands and one uplink subband, with each adjacent subband pair separated from each other by a guard band (GB). Example 408 includes one downlink subband and one uplink subband separated by a GB. The two downlink subbands of Example 406 may be used by a single UE or may be used by different UEs (e.g., a first UE for the first downlink subband and a second UE for the second downlink subband). A subband may include one or more consecutive resource blocks associated with a transmission direction. Here, Example 406 includes two subbands associated with the downlink transmission direction and one subband associated with the uplink transmission direction; and Example 408 includes one subband associated with the downlink transmission direction and one subband associated with the uplink transmission direction. Example 406 and Example 408 illustrate a symbol with an SBFD format (e.g., where there is a set of resource blocks including at least one downlink subband and a set of resource blocks including at least one uplink subband), a time slot with an SBFD format (e.g., where there is at least one downlink subband and at least one uplink subband), or another time resource with an SBFD format.

[0091] In a resource with the SBFD format, network node 404 can perform transmission of downlink transmissions and reception of uplink transmissions simultaneously on a subband basis. For example, network node 404 can communicate with UE1 402-1 on the downlink and with UE2 402-2 on the uplink simultaneously. In some examples, UE1 402-1 and / or UE2 402-2 may be configured only with the subbands used by UE1 402-1 and / or UE2 402-2 for communication. For example, UE1 402-1 may be configured only with downlink subbands, and UE2 402-2 may be configured only with uplink subbands of the SBFD-formatted resources. This may be because, for example, UE1 402-1 and / or UE2 402-2 do not have the ability for SBFD communication. In some examples, UE1 402-1 and / or UE2 402-2 may be configured to utilize SBFD-formatted resources. For example, if a UE has the ability for SBFD communication, the UE may know that a given resource has the SBFD format (while utilizing the resource only in one transmission direction), or may perform FD communication in the given resource.

[0092] In some cases, various configurations can be developed to facilitate cross-link interference (CLI) handling between network nodes and between UEs. For example, in scenarios involving subband non-overlapping FD, in-band CLI and inter-band CLI can be considered to design the configurations. In some cases, these configurations may include at least one of a configured DL and UL BWP pair and / or a set of BWPs with three or more BWPs. However, in some cases, the BWP pair and / or the set of BWPs may be configured only for one of HD operation or SBFD operation, rather than both.

[0093] Some aspects of the techniques and apparatuses described herein provide configurations for hybrid HD / SBFD communication associated with a TDD carrier. For example, in some aspects, a UE may receive configuration information that indicates an SBFD configuration for communicating with a full-duplex network node associated with a TDD carrier based on an HD configuration at the UE. The SBFD configuration may correspond to one or more BWPs associated with multiple resources. The multiple resources may include at least one HD resource and at least one SBFD resource. The one or more BWPs may include at least one of a DL BWP or a UL BWP. The UE may communicate based on the configuration information.

[0094] In some aspects, for example, the configuration information may configure the SBFD scheme within a single configured DL and UL BWP pair having misaligned center frequencies. In this way, due to the resulting narrow bandwidths in both the HD resources and the SBFD resources (e.g., for cell-edge UEs), the UE may save power and UL resources and the network node may provide flexible UL scheduling, thereby facilitating more efficient UL scheduling across time slots. In some aspects, for example, the configuration information may configure the SBFD scheme using more than one configured DL and UL BWP pair, where the more than one configured DL and UL BWP pair has aligned center frequencies and / or misaligned center frequencies for the DL and UL BWP pairs. In some aspects, the SBFD configuration may be configured as a per-BWP SBFD configuration with misaligned center frequencies. In this way, each subband may be associated with a corresponding TDD time slot format, thereby facilitating more efficient use of resources.

[0095] Figure 5 FIG. is an illustration of example 500 associated with BWP configuration for hybrid HD / SBFD communication according to the present disclosure. As shown, example 500 includes UEs 502, 504, and network node 506 that communicate with each other. In some aspects, UE502 and / or UE 504 may be, be similar to, include, or be included in: Figures 1 to 3 the depicted UE 120, Figure 4 the depicted UE1 402-1 and / or Figure 4 the depicted UE2 402-2. In some aspects, network node 506 may be, be similar to, include Figure 1 and Figure 2 the depicted network node 110, Figure 3 one or more components of the depicted decomposed base station architecture 300 and / or Figure 4 the depicted network node 404, or be included in them.

[0096] As indicated by reference numeral 508, network node 506 may send and UE 502 may receive configuration information. The configuration information may indicate an SBFD configuration for communicating with network node 506 based on the HD configuration at UE 502. As indicated by reference numeral 510, network node 506 may send and UE 504 may receive configuration information indicating the SBFD configuration. In some aspects, the SBFD configuration may correspond to FD operation performed by network node 506. UE 502 and UE 504 may be configured for HD operation. For example, the SBFD configuration may configure UE 502 for downlink HD communication and configure UE 504 for uplink HD communication. Since UE 502 and UE 504 are configured for HD operation, the SBFD configuration may be referred to as a hybrid HD / SBFD configuration.

[0097] The SBFD configuration may be associated with a time division duplex (TDD) carrier. In some aspects, the SBFD configuration may correspond to one or more BWPs associated with multiple resources. The multiple resources may include at least one HD resource and at least one SBFD resource. The multiple resources may include time domain resources such as symbols, time slots, half time slots, time periods, and / or partial symbols, etc.

[0098] In some aspects, one or more BWPs may include one or more DL BWPs and / or one or more uplink BWPs. In some aspects, for example, as indicated by reference numeral 512, one or more BWPs may include a single bi-directional BWP pair associated with multiple resources. A bi-directional BWP pair is a pair of BWPs (two BWPs), where one BWP is associated with a first communication direction (e.g., UL) and the other BWP is associated with a second communication direction (e.g., DL). In some aspects, as shown in the figure, the BWPs of the BWP pair may include misaligned center frequencies. For example, the center frequency 514 associated with the DL BWP may be different from the center frequency 516 associated with the UL BWP. Also, as shown in the figure, the width of the DL BWP may be different from (e.g., greater than) the width of the UL BWP. In some aspects, a first BWP identifier (ID) may be associated with the DL BWP, and a second BWP ID may be associated with the UL BWP. In some aspects, the second BWP ID may be equal to the first BWP ID (e.g., the DL BWP and the UL BWP may have the same BWP ID). In some other aspects, the second BWP ID may be different from the first BWP ID (e.g., the DL BWP and the UL BWP may have different BWP IDs).

[0099] In some aspects, one or more BWPs may include a first plurality of BWPs and a second plurality of BWPs. The first plurality of BWPs may be associated with a set of HD resources among the plurality of resources, and the second plurality of BWPs may be associated with a set of SBFD resources among the plurality of resources. For example, as shown by reference numeral 518, the first plurality of BWPs may include a first pair of bidirectional BWPs, which includes a DL BWP and a UL BWP (“DL / UL BWP1”). The second plurality of BWPs may include a second pair of bidirectional BWPs, which includes a DL BWP2 and a UL BWP2. As shown in the figure, for example, DL BWP1 may be a discontinuous BWP corresponding to a first DL subband and a second DL subband. In some aspects, a discontinuous BWP may correspond to more than two subbands.

[0100] In some aspects, the second plurality of BWPs may include two or more BWPs (“DL BWP2” and “UL BWP2”). A set of BWPs is a plurality of BWPs that includes three or more BWPs. The configuration may include a BWP switching delay, which may be a time period configured to allow switching between a pair of BWPs and a set of BWPs. In some aspects, each BWP in the set of BWPs may correspond to a respective subband among the plurality of subbands and a respective center frequency among the plurality of center frequencies, where each center frequency among the plurality of center frequencies is the same as or different from each other center frequency among the plurality of center frequencies.

[0101] In some aspects, the set of BWPs may include two DL BWPs and one UL BWP. In some aspects, the set of BWPs may include a first BWP associated with a communication direction and a BWP ID, and a second BWP associated with a communication direction and a BWP ID, where a first sub-ID is associated with the first BWP and a second sub-ID is associated with the second BWP. In some aspects, the configuration associated with the first sub-ID may be different from the configuration associated with the second sub-ID. Some aspects of the respective configurations may overlap. In some aspects, at least two of the three or more BWPs may correspond to different respective BWP IDs. A set of BWP IDs associated with the set of BWPs may indicate a link between the different respective BWP IDs.

[0102] As shown by reference numeral 520, the network node 506 may send and the UE 502 may receive a BWP switching indication. In some aspects, the BWP switching indication may indicate a switch from one or more previously active BWPs to a set of BWPs. In some aspects, the BWP switching indication may include a BWP field that indicates the set of BWP IDs. In some aspects, the BWP switching indication may include a BWP field that indicates a BWP ID among the different respective BWP IDs.

[0103] In some aspects, the BWP set may include a first DL BWP and a second DL BWP, and the set of operating parameters may correspond to the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP. The set of operating parameters is configured to be associated with only the first DL BWP and applied to both the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP. In some aspects, the set of operating parameters is configured independently of both the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP.

[0104] In some aspects, one or more BWPs may include a BWP set that includes three or more BWPs, and the BWP switch indication may indicate a switch from one or more previously active BWPs to the BWP set, wherein the BWP switch indication includes a BWP field that indicates a set ID associated with the BWP set. The BWP set ID may be configured not to conflict with BWP IDs (e.g., the BWP set ID may be different from any BWP ID in the configuration and / or different from any BWP ID associated with a BWP pair). One or more BWPs may include a BWP set that includes three or more BWPs, and the BWP switch indication may indicate a switch from one or more previously active BWPs to the BWP set, wherein the BWP switch indication includes a BWP field that indicates a BWP ID associated with a BWP in the BWP set. In some aspects, the BWP switch indication may indicate a switch from one or more previously active BWPs to a BWP in the one or more BWPs.

[0105] In some aspects, the BWP switch indication may include multiple BWP fields. In some aspects, the multiple BWP fields may include an indication in only one BWP field of the multiple BWP fields based on the one or more BWPs including a BWP pair, wherein the indication indicates a BWP ID associated with the BWP. One or more BWPs may include a BWP set that includes three or more BWPs, and the multiple BWP fields include at least three indications in respective BWP fields of an initial set of the BWP fields of the multiple BWP fields, the at least three indications indicating respective BWP IDs associated with the three or more BWPs.

[0106] In some aspects, as shown by reference numeral 522, one or more BWPs may include a single BWP set associated with multiple resources. For example, the BWP set may include a first BWP (“BWP0”), a second BWP (“BWP1”), and a third BWP (“BWP2”). As shown, the BWP set may include misaligned center frequencies. For example, the center frequency 524 associated with BWP0 may be different from the center frequency 526 associated with BWP1, and the center frequency 526 may be different from the center frequency 528 associated with BWP2.

[0107] In some aspects, for example, each BWP in the BWP set may include subbands, and each subband may correspond to a respective TDD time slot format pattern. The TDD time slot format pattern is a pattern according to which multiple time slots are scheduled and / or configured for UL communication, DL communication, or used as flexible time slots (“F”). Flexible time slots may be used for UL communication or DL communication. Resources configured and / or scheduled for UL communication may be described herein as having a UL format. Resources configured and / or scheduled for DL communication may be described herein as having a DL format. Resources configured and / or scheduled to include only flexible resources may be described herein as having an F format. All symbols within each time slot may be similarly assigned (e.g., all “UL”, all “DL”, or all “F”), otherwise the time slot may include multiple symbol assignment types.

[0108] In some aspects, each BWP in a single BWP set may be associated with a single BWP ID. The single BWP set may include two BWPs associated with a communication direction, and each of the two BWPs may be associated with a different respective BWP sub - ID. The first BWP of the two BWPs may correspond to a first set of operating parameters and the second BWP of the two BWPs may correspond to a second set of operating parameters. For example, in some aspects, the first BWP ID may correspond to the first set of operating parameters and the second BWP ID may correspond to the second set of operating parameters. In some aspects, the first set of operating parameters may partially overlap with the second set of operating parameters.

[0109] In some aspects, at least two of three or more BWPs may correspond to different respective BWP IDs. A BWP set ID associated with a single BWP set may indicate a link between different respective BWP IDs. As described herein with reference to reference numeral 520, a BWP switch indication may indicate a switch from one or more previously active BWPs to a single BWP set, where the BWP switch indication includes a BWP field that indicates the BWP set ID. In some aspects, a BWP switch indication may indicate a switch from one or more previously active BWPs to a single BWP set, where the BWP switch indication includes a BWP field that indicates a BWP ID among different respective BWP IDs.

[0110] In some aspects, a single BWP set may include a first DL BWP and a second DL BWP, and a set of operating parameters may correspond to the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP. The set of operating parameters is configured to be associated with only the first DL BWP and applied to both the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP. In some other aspects, the set of operating parameters is configured independently of both the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP.

[0111] As shown by reference numeral 530, the UE 502 and the network node 506 may communicate with each other. For example, the UE 502 and the network node 506 may communicate with each other based on configuration information. As shown by reference numeral 532, the UE 504 and the network node 506 may communicate with each other. For example, the UE 504 and the network node 506 may communicate with each other based on configuration information.

[0112] As indicated above, Figure 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may be different from the examples Figure 5 described.
