Technical Field

[0003] The following discussion pertains to wireless communication, including scheduling during time slots with subband full-duplex resources. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, and broadcasting. These systems can 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 (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, improved LTE (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-APro systems) and fifth-generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems). These systems can employ technologies such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or Discrete Fourier Transform Extended Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations, each supporting wireless communication for communication devices (which may be referred to as User Equipment (UE)).

[0005] Some devices in a wireless communication system can operate under half-duplex constraints, meaning that a device may not be able to transmit and receive simultaneously. Wireless communication systems can support full-duplex devices, which can transmit and receive simultaneously. For example, a network entity can be configured to transmit to a first user equipment (UE) and receive from a second UE on the same time-domain resources. Full-duplex communication can support improved communication throughput and efficiency, but may lead to increased interference. Summary of the Invention

Network entities can send, and UEs can receive, control signaling regarding scheduling timing, resource block groups, or precoded resource block groups that may overlap with SBFD time slots or symbols.

[0106] Wireless communication systems can support half-duplex, full-duplex, or both. For example, a network entity of a wireless communication system can support full-duplex communication, and therefore, the network entity can communicate simultaneously via uplink and downlink resources. Thus, the network entity can use a first resource to transmit to a first user equipment (UE) and use a second resource to receive from a second UE, and the first and / or second resources can overlap in the time domain within a frequency band or bandwidth portion. For example, the network entity and the UE can be configured with sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) time slots (e.g., transmission time intervals (TTI)) or symbols with separate frequency resources for uplink and downlink communication to support simultaneous transmission / reception at the network entity. However, the utilization of SBFD resources can lead to various types of interference, and this interference can be amplified when the UE is scheduled with communication resources that conflict with or overlap with SBFD resources.

[0107] This document describes various techniques for resolving communications scheduled in association with SBFD resources. For example, according to the techniques described herein, a UE can receive first control signaling indicating a time slot including SBFD resources, and the UE can receive second control signaling scheduling one or more timings for communications of specified signals (such as various types of periodic or semi-persistent signals). The UE can apply rules relating to timings overlapping with SBFD time slots to adjust communications within the SBFD time slots. For example, the UE can be configured to completely or partially discard timings or partially or partially modify SBFD resources.

[0108] According to other technologies, the UE can receive first control signaling including symbols with SBFD resources, and second control signaling allocating resource block groups (RBGs) that overlap with the SBFD symbols. One or more resource blocks in a resource block group may overlap with resources of SBFD resources that conflict with the communication direction of the resource block group. For example, an RBG may be configured for uplink communication, but the resource blocks (RBs) of the RBG may overlap with downlink resources of the SBFD symbols. Thus, the UE can be configured to apply rules to process resources when this occurs. For example, the UE may discard or not use RBs that overlap with conflicting resources, or the UE may adjust or process the SBFD resources to correspond to the communication direction of the RBG. In some cases, when determining whether to use or adjust an RBG or convert SBFD resources, the UE considers the size of the RBG and / or the number of RBs that do not overlap with conflicting resources.

[0109] Another technique proposes rules for UE application when the UE is configured with a precoded resource block group (PRG) for receiving Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmissions overlapping with SBFD symbols. In such cases, the UE may discard non-colliding RBs, treat the PRG as a partial RBG, adjust the size of the number of non-colliding RBs, and / or concatenate non-colliding RBs with another PRG. In some cases, the PRG is a wideband PRG that may overlap with SBFD with non-contiguous downlink subbands. In such cases, the UE may not use SBFD resources and / or may monitor PDSCH transmissions in one or both of the downlink resources, and this technique may depend on the UE's ability to monitor in non-contiguous downlink subbands. In other examples, it is not expected that the UE will be configured with a partial PRG that overlaps with both downlink and uplink subbands. These and other techniques are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0110] The various aspects of this disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. These aspects are further described with respect to a wireless communication system illustrating SBFD communication, resource diagrams, and process flows. The various aspects of this disclosure are further illustrated by apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts relating to scheduling during time slots with sub-band full-duplex resources, and are described with reference to these diagrams.

[0111] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting scheduling during time slots with subband full-duplex resources, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. 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 improved 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 expressly mentioned herein.

[0112] Network entity 105 may be distributed throughout a geographic area to form wireless communication system 100 and may include devices of different forms or with different capabilities. In various examples, network entity 105 may be referred to as a network element, mobility element, radio access network (RAN) node, or network device, among other terms. In some examples, network entity 105 and UE 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) access links). For example, network entity 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area) on which UE 115 and network entity 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. Coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area where network entity 105 and UE 115 may support signal transmission according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0113] UE 115 can be distributed throughout the entire coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 can be stationary, mobile, or both at different times. UE 115 can be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UE 115s are shown in the document. The UE 115 described herein is capable of supporting communication with various types of devices, such as other UE 115s or network entities 105, such as Figure 1 As shown.

[0114] As described herein, a node in 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, apparatus, device, computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, a node may be UE 115. As another example, a node may be 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 UE 115, the second node may be network entity 105, and the third node may be UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be UE 115, the second node may be network entity 105, and the third node may be network entity 105. In other aspects of this example, the first node, the second node, and the third node may differ from these examples. Similarly, references to UE 115, network entity 105, device, equipment, computing system, etc., may include disclosures that UE 115, network entity 105, device, equipment, computing system, etc., are nodes. For example, disclosures regarding UE 115 being configured to receive information from network entity 105 also disclose that a first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0115] In some examples, network entity 105 may communicate with core network 130, or with each other, or both. For example, network entity 105 may communicate with 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, network entity 105 may communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via core network 130) via backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to X2, Xn, or other interface protocols). In some examples, network entity 105 may communicate with each other via midrange communication link 162 (e.g., according to a midrange interface protocol) or frontend communication link 168 (e.g., according to a frontend interface protocol) or any combination thereof. Backhaul communication link 120, midrange communication link 162, or frontend communication link 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g., electrical links, fiber optic links), one or more wireless links (e.g., radio links, wireless optical links), and other examples or various combinations thereof. UE 115 can communicate with core network 130 via communication link 155.

[0116] One or more of the network entities 105 described herein may include or may be referred to as base station 140 (e.g., base transceiver, radio base station, NR base station, access point, radio transceiver, Node B, evolved Node B (eNB), next-generation B node or gigabit Node B (any of which may be referred to as gNB), 5G NB, next-generation eNB (ng-e NB), home node B, home evolved Node B, or other suitable terms). In some examples, network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, standalone) base station architecture, which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack physically or logically integrated within a single network entity 105 (e.g., a single RAN node, such as base station 140).

[0117] In some examples, network entity 105 may be implemented in a decomposed architecture (e.g., a decomposed base station architecture, a decomposed RAN architecture) that can be configured to utilize protocol stacks physically or logically distributed across 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, 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, a non-real-time RIC), a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) 180 system, or any combination thereof. RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio headend, an intelligent radio headend, a remote radio headend (RRH), a remote radio unit (RRU), or a transmit / receive point (TRP). One or more components of network entity 105 in a decomposed RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of network entity 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more network entities 105 in a decomposed RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., virtual CU (VCU), virtual DU (VDU), virtual RU (VRU)).

[0118] The functional splitting among CU 160, DU 165, and RU 170 is flexible and can support different functionalities 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 protocol stack functional splitting can be used between CU 160 and DU 165, allowing CU 160 to support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and DU 165 to support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. In some examples, CU 160 can host upper-layer protocol layer (e.g., Layer 3 (L3), Layer 2 (L2)) functionalities and signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC), Serving Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)). CU 160 can connect to one or more DU 165 or RU 170, and one or more DU 165 or RU 170 can host lower protocol layer (such as Layer 1 (L1) (e.g., Physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, Medium Access Control (MAC) layer)) functionality and signaling, and can each be at least partially controlled by CU 160. Alternatively, a protocol stack functional split can be employed between DU 165 and RU 170, such that DU 165 can support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and RU 170 can support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. DU 165 can support one or more different cells (e.g., via one or more RU 170). In some cases, functional decomposition between CU 160 and DU 165, or between DU 165 and RU 170, can be performed within the protocol layer (e.g., some protocol layer functions can be performed by one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170, while other protocol layer functions can be performed by a different one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170). CU 160 can be further functionally decomposed into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. CU 160 can be connected to one or more DU 165s via midrange communication link 162 (e.g., F1, F1-c, F1-u), and DU 165 can be connected to one or more RU 170s via frontend communication link 168 (e.g., open frontend (FH) interface). In some examples, a mid-range communication link 162 or a front-end communication link 168 may be implemented based on an interface (e.g., a channel) between layers of a protocol stack, which is supported by a corresponding network entity 105 communicating via such a communication link.

[0119] In a wireless communication system (e.g., wireless communication system 100), the infrastructure and spectrum resources for wireless access can 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 node 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 DU 165s or one or more RU 170s may be partially controlled by one or more CU 160s 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 node 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication link 120). IAB node 104 may include an IAB mobile terminal (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by a coupled IAB donor DU 165. The IAB-MT may include a separate set of antennas for relaying communication with UE 115, or may share the same antennas of IAB node 104 (e.g., the same antennas of RU 170) for access via DU 165 of IAB node 104 (e.g., referred to as a virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, IAB node 104 may include DU 165, which supports communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node 104, UE 115) within a configuration of the relay chain or access network (e.g., downstream). In such cases, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., one or more IAB nodes 104 or components of IAB node 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0120] When the techniques described herein are applied in the context of a decomposed RAN architecture, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture can be configured to support scheduling during time slots with subband full-duplex resources, as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by UE 115 or network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) can additionally or alternatively be performed by one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., IAB node 104, DU 165, CU 160, RU 170, RIC 175, SMO 180).

[0121] UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or some other suitable term, wherein "device" may also be referred to as a unit, station, terminal, or client, and other examples. UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, Internet of Things (IoT) device, Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or machine-type communication (MTC) device, and other examples, which may be implemented in various items such as appliances, vehicles, meters, and other examples.

[0122] The UE 115 described in this article may be able to work with various types of devices, such as other UE 115s that can sometimes act as repeaters, as well as network entities 105 and network devices (including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations and other examples), such as Figure 1 (As shown) to communicate.

[0123] UE 115 and network entity 105 can communicate wirelessly with each other via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term "carrier" can refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting communication link 125. For example, a carrier for 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 coordinating operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. Wireless communication system 100 can support communication with UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, UE 115 can be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation can be used in conjunction with both frequency division duplex (FDD) component carriers and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers. Communication between network entity 105 and other devices can refer to communication between a device and any part of network entity 105 (e.g., entity, sub-entity). For example, when referring to network entity 105, the terms "transmit," "receive," or "communicate" can refer to any part of the RAN's network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, CU 160, DU 165, RU 170) communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities 105).

[0124] In some aspects (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling to coordinate operation for 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 can be identified according to the channel grid for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in standalone mode, in which case UE 115 may perform initial acquisition and connection via the carrier, or the carrier may operate in non-standalone mode, in which case different carriers (e.g., the same or different radio access technologies) are used to anchor the connection.

[0125] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include downlink transmissions (e.g., forward link transmissions) from network entity 105 to UE 115, uplink transmissions (e.g., return link transmissions) from UE 115 to network entity 105, or both, and other configurations of transmission. The carrier may carry downlink or uplink communication (e.g., in FDD mode) or may be configured to carry both downlink and uplink communication (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0126] A carrier may be associated with a specific bandwidth of the RF spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the carrier or the “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one bandwidth in a set of bandwidths for a specific radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 MHz). Devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., network entity 105, UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communication using a specific carrier bandwidth, or may be configurable to support communication using one of the carrier bandwidths in the set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a network entity 105 or UE 115 that supports concurrent communication using carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate using a portion (e.g., subband, BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0127] The signal waveform transmitted via a carrier can be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multicarrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) or Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM). In a system employing MCM, a resource element can refer to a resource of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing can be inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element can depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the decoding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), such that a relatively high number of resource elements (e.g., over the transmission duration) and a relatively high-order modulation scheme can correspond to a relatively high communication rate. Wireless communication resources can refer to a combination of RF spectrum resources, temporal resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers, beams), and the use of multiple spatial resources can increase the data rate or data integrity used for communication with UE 115.

[0128] One or more digital schemes (numerologies) can be supported for a carrier, and the digital scheme can include subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier can be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different digital schemes. In some examples, UE 115 can be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier can be active at a given time, and communication for UE 115 can be restricted to one or more active BWPs.

[0129] It can be expressed in a basic unit of time (which can be, for example, T). s =1 / (Δf) max ·N f A sampling period of ) seconds (where Δf) max This can represent the supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The time interval for network entity 105 or UE 115 can be represented by a multiple of the supported Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) size. The time interval for communication resources can be organized according to radio frames, each with a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame can be identified by a System Frame Number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0130] 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, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a 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 number of symbol periods (e.g., this depends on the length of the cyclic prefix added before each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, time slots may be further divided into multiple 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) symbols. f The symbol period is associated with a number of sampling periods. The duration of the symbol period can depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating frequency band.

[0131] A subframe, time slot, micro-time slot, or symbol can be the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., in the time domain) and can be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the duration of the TTI (e.g., the number of symbol periods in the TTI) can be variable. Alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 can be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst form of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0132] Physical channels can be multiplexed using various techniques to communicate using carriers. For example, one or more of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques can be used to multiplex physical control channels and physical data channels for signaling via downlink carriers. Control regions (e.g., control resource sets (CORESET)) for physical control channels can be defined by a set of symbol periods and can extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of a carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) can be configured for a group of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 can monitor or search for control regions for control information based on one or more search space sets, and each search space set can include one or more control channel candidates arranged in a cascaded manner at one or more aggregation levels. The aggregation level for control channel candidates can refer to the number 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 set may include a common search space set configured to send control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set used to send control information to a specific UE 115.

[0133] In some examples, network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) may be mobile, and therefore, 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 use the same or different radio access technologies to provide coverage for individual coverage areas 110.

[0134] Wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication, or various combinations thereof. For example, wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). UE 115 can be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communication can include private or group communication and can be supported by one or more services, such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions can include service prioritization, and such services can be used for public safety or general business applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency are used interchangeably herein.

[0135] In some examples, UE 115 may be configured to support direct communication with other UE 115s via device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., according to peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocols). In some examples, one or more UE 115s in a group performing D2D communication may be within the coverage area 110 of network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communication configured (e.g., scheduled by network entity 105). In some examples, one or more UE 115s in such a group may be outside the coverage area 110 of network entity 105 or may otherwise be unable or not configured to receive transmissions from network entity 105. In some examples, groups of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication can support a one-to-many (1:M) system, where each UE 115 transmits to each of the other UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, network entity 105 can facilitate the scheduling of resources used for D2D communication. In other examples, D2D communication can be performed between UEs 115 without involving network entity 105.

[0136] Core network 130 can provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. Core network 130 can be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), and can include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), access and mobility management function (AMF)) managing access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or user plane function (UPF)) routing packets to or interconnecting with external networks. The control plane entity can manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for UE 115 served by network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) associated with core network 130. User IP packets can be transmitted through the user plane entity, which can provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity can connect to IP services 150 for one or more network operators. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, intranets, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0137] Wireless communication system 100 can operate using one or more frequency bands (which can range from 300 MHz to 300 GHz). Typically, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelength range extends from approximately 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 the waves can be sufficiently penetrating structures to provide service to UE 115 located indoors via macrocells. Compared to communication using smaller frequencies and longer waves in the lower HF or VHF portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz, communication using UHF waves can be associated with smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 km).

[0138] Wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, wireless communication system 100 may employ Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), LTE Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology using unlicensed frequency bands (such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band). When operating using unlicensed RF spectrum bands, devices (such as network entity 105 and UE 115) may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation using unlicensed frequency bands may be based on carrier aggregation configurations that combine operation with component carriers using licensed frequency bands (e.g., LAA). Operation using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, and other examples.

[0139] 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 techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, or beamforming. The antennas of network entity 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels (which may support MIMO operation or transmit or receive beamforming). For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly (e.g., an antenna tower). In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with network entity 105 may be located in different geographical locations. Network entity 105 may include an antenna array having a set of rows and columns of antenna ports that network entity 105 can use to support beamforming for communication with UE 115. Similarly, UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support RF beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0140] Network entity 105 or UE 115 can use MIMO communication to utilize multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. This technique can be referred to as spatial multiplexing. For example, a transmitting device can transmit multiple signals via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, a receiving device can receive multiple signals via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals can be referred to as a separate spatial stream and can carry information associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers can be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) (where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device) and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) (where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices).

[0141] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., network entity 105, UE 115) to form or guide an antenna beam (e.g., transmit beam, receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting and receiving devices. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals transmitted via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating along a specific orientation relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to the signals transmitted via the antenna elements can include applying amplitude offset, phase offset, or both to the signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the transmitting or receiving device. The adjustments associated with each antenna element can be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a specific orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting or receiving device, or relative to some other orientation).

[0142] Wireless communication system 100 can support both half-duplex and full-duplex communication. For example, network entity 105 of wireless communication system 100 can support full-duplex communication, meaning that network entity 105 can communicate simultaneously in the uplink / downlink. In some cases, network entity 105 can use a first resource to transmit to a first UE 115 and use a second resource to receive from a second UE 115, and the first and second resources can overlap in the time domain within a frequency band or bandwidth portion. In such cases, UE 115 can perform half-duplex communication while network entity 105 performs full-duplex communication. Thus, network entity 105 and UE 115 can be configured with SBFD time slots or symbols, having separate frequency resources for uplink and downlink communication, such as to support simultaneous transmission / reception at network entity 105. In some cases, UE 115 or network entity 105 can be configured with resources overlapping with SBFD resources (e.g., timing, RBG, PRG). The device of the wireless communication system 100 can be configured with technology for handling scenarios where the configured resources overlap with SBFD resources.

[0143] The techniques described herein support the application of rules for handling scheduling of timing / communications combined with SBFD slots / symbols. A first proposal addresses periodic or semi-persistent scheduling of SBFD resources (e.g., communications for designated signals). UE 115 may not expect these timings to overlap with SBFD resources, or if such scheduling occurs, UE 115 can perform various operations (e.g., discarding timings completely or partially, modifying SBFD resources completely or partially). A second proposal addresses resource block groups (RBGs) that overlap with SBFD resources having the same transmission direction (e.g., uplink / downlink) and with SBFD resources having a different transmission direction. RBs overlapping with resources having different directions can be discarded, or SBFD resources can be adjusted to correspond to the direction of the RBG. In some cases, the technique depends on the number of overlapping RBs relative to the total number of RBs in the RBG. A third proposal relates to handling precoded resource block groups (PRGs) for PDSCH reception, where the PRG overlaps with uplink SBFD resources. In such cases, the resources of the PRG can be discarded or adjusted, or the resources of the SBFD can be adjusted.

[0144] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 supporting scheduling during time slots with sub-band full-duplex resources, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. The wireless communication system 200 can implement... Figure 1The wireless communication system 100 may be implemented by or in various aspects thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 200 includes a UE 115-a and a network entity 105-a, which may be as described above. Figure 1 Examples of the corresponding devices described.

[0145] As described herein, the wireless communication system 200 can support MIMO communication, and more specifically, half-duplex communication, full-duplex communication, or both half-duplex and full-duplex communication. In such cases, network entity 105-a can communicate simultaneously with two different UEs 115. For example, network entity 105-a can use a first communication resource to send downlink communication to a first UE 115, and network entity 105-a can simultaneously use a second communication resource to receive communication from a second UE 115. The first and second communication resources can overlap in the time domain but can be in different frequency subbands. For example, network entity 105 can use time slot 225 for full-duplex communication, and time slot 225 can be an example of a time slot configured with SBFD resources. More specifically, the time slot can include resources in bandwidth portion 235, and the time slot can include downlink resources 240 spanning a first frequency subband and uplink resources spanning a second frequency subband spanning bandwidth portion 235. In some examples, a frequency subband may span the duration of time slot 225, as shown in time slots 225-a and 225-b. In other examples, a frequency subband may span a portion of time slot 225, and another portion of the time slot may include resources spanning a bandwidth portion. As shown, time slot 225-a includes downlink resources 240 spanning bandwidth portion 235, and time slot 225-b includes uplink resources 245 spanning bandwidth portion 235. Therefore, time slots 225-c and 225-d include both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. It should be understood that other SBFD time slot configurations are contemplated within the scope of this disclosure. For example, SBFD time slots may include flexible symbols or subbands.

[0146] SBFD time slots can be configured in time-domain duplex carriers or in in-band carrier aggregation configurations, and can support the simultaneous transmission of downlink and uplink signals on a subband basis in the same time slot. This resource configuration utilization supports latency reduction. For example, SBFD resources can support the transmission (e.g., by UE 115) of uplink signals in uplink subbands that would typically fall within downlink-only or flexible time slots. Alternatively, SBFD resources can support the reception (e.g., by UE 115) of downlink signals in downlink subbands that would typically fall within uplink-only time slots. Therefore, these techniques can support latency savings and improved uplink coverage. Furthermore, SBFD resources can support enhanced system capacity, resource utilization, and spectral efficiency. In addition, SBFD resources can support flexible and dynamic uplink and downlink resource adaptation in a robust manner based on uplink and downlink traffic.

[0147] exist Figure 2 In this context, network entity 105-a may send one or more control messages to UE 115-a. For example, network entity 105-a may send a first control signaling 210 to UE 115-a, and the first control signaling may indicate SBFD resources, such as one or more time slots 225 or one or more SBFD symbols within a time slot. Network entity 105-a may also send a second control signaling 215 during or relative to SBFD resource scheduling resources 230. For example, the second control signaling may schedule one or more times for sending specified signals, such as synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), control messages in control resource sets (e.g., CORESET0), random access messages in random access channel timings (ROs), common search space set messages, tracking reference signals (TRSs), or probe reference signals (SRSs)). Since such signals can be used to establish and / or maintain communication between UE 115-a and network entity 105-a, it may be desirable to implement techniques to reduce interference with such signals and ensure that such signals are transmitted.

[0148] Therefore, UE 115-a and network entity 105-a can apply rules for adjusting communication in SBFD time slots, and these rules relate to the scheduling timing of specified signals that overlap with SBFD time slots. In one example, network entity 105-a can be configured such that it does not schedule times that overlap with SBFD time slots (for transmitting specified signals). Thus, such times can be scheduled only in non-SBFD time slots (such as uplink time slots, downlink time slots, or flexible time slots). Therefore, the rule can specify that UE 115 is not expected to be configured (or indicated) to receive SSB, CORESET#0, CSS, or TRS in a time slot configured as an SBFD time slot (e.g., time slot 225). Alternatively, the rule can specify that UE 115 is not expected to be configured (or indicated) to transmit RO or SRS in a time slot indicated as an SBFD time slot (e.g., time slot 225).

[0149] Alternatively, the scheduling timing can overlap with SBFD time slots (or SBFD time slots can overlap with timings). When the scheduling timing (for transmitting a specified signal) overlaps with an SBFD time slot, UE 115-a and network entity 105-a can adjust communication within the time slot by transmitting the specified signal during one or more times that overlap with the time slot. In such cases, an SBFD time slot (e.g., time slot 225) can be implicitly converted to a non-SBFD time slot (such as a conventional downlink, flexible, or uplink time slot), such as the communication direction corresponding to the scheduling timing. For example, UE 115-a can receive downlink signals and can discard any uplink signals or channels configured or scheduled in the uplink subband (e.g., uplink resource 245) within the time slot. Alternatively, UE 115-a can transmit uplink signals and can discard any downlink signals or channels configured or scheduled in the downlink subband (e.g., downlink resource 240) within the time slot. Therefore, resources in SBFD time slots that have a different communication direction than the scheduling timing (e.g., scheduled by the first control signaling 210) can be regarded by UE 115-a and network entity 105-a as having different directions.

[0150] In some cases, instead of converting the entire time slot to a traditional time slot, only symbols that conflict with the scheduled timing can be converted to non-SBFD symbols according to rules. In this way, UE 115-a and network entity 105-a can transmit a designated signal in one or more timings, and SBFD symbols that overlap with (and include) conflicting SBFD resources can be configured as non-SBFD symbols, such as uplink, downlink, or flexible symbols. For example, UE 115-a receives a downlink signal (designated signal) in one or more timings and discards OFDM symbols configured or scheduled in the uplink subband of the time slot (in which network entity 105-a does not perform SBFD operations) or any uplink signals in the uplink channel. The remaining non-overlapping symbols can be used by network entity 105-a for SBFD operations. In another example, UE 115-a transmits an uplink signal (designated signal) in one or more timings and discards OFDM symbols configured or scheduled in the downlink subband of the SBFD time slot or any downlink signals in the channel. The remaining symbols can be used by network entity 105-a for SBFD operations.

[0151] Another rule can specify that when a time slot is scheduled to overlap with an SBFD time slot, network entity 105-a and / or UE 115-a will discard (e.g., not use according to scheduling) these time slots for communication of the specified signal. In this case, the time slot can be used for SBFD operations scheduled by the first control signaling 210. Alternatively, instead of discarding time slots entirely, the rule can specify that network entity 105-a and / or UE 115 will partially discard overlapping time slots. That is, when a time slot has a direction that conflicts with SBFD resources (e.g., SSB overlaps with an uplink subband), the time slot is partially discarded (e.g., RBs that conflict with the subband are not used). Therefore, UE 115-a and / or network entity 105-a can apply one or more of the various rules for handling time slots scheduled to overlap with SBFD time slots (for communication of the specified signal).

[0152] As described further in detail herein, alternative resource 230 is one or more occasions for communication of a specified signal. Resource 230 may be a group of resource blocks or a precoded resource block for communication used for PDSCH transmission. UE 115-a may apply various rules for handling scenarios where such resources are scheduled to overlap with SBFD symbols.

[0153] Figure 3 An example of a resource graph 300 supporting scheduling during a time slot with sub-band full-duplex resources, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. Resource graph 300 can be constructed by... Figure 1 The various aspects of the wireless communication system 100 and by Figure 2 The wireless communication system 200 is used to implement this. For example, the UE 115 and network entity 105 described herein can implement various aspects of resource map 300. Various aspects of resource map 300 can support full-duplex operation of network entity 105 and UE 115. For example, even if some UEs 115 may not be able to perform full-duplex operation, these UEs 115 can still "know" the SBFD operation of the network entity. Such UEs 115 can be referred to as "SBFD-aware UEs". For SBFD-aware UEs, various options are available for resource allocation in the frequency domain when the boundaries between the RBG and SBFD subbands are misaligned. For example, the portion of the downlink RBG located within the downlink subband can be used for communication, and the portion of the uplink RBG located within the uplink subband can also be used. Alternatively, the portion of the downlink RBG located within the downlink subband cannot be used, and the portion of the uplink RBG located within the uplink subband cannot be used either.

[0154] The techniques described herein address the portion of an RBG "outside" its corresponding subband, where this outer portion overlaps with a guard band or a subband having a communication direction opposite to that of the RBG. For example, devices (e.g., UE 115 and network entity 105) can apply rules to adjust communication via the outer portion of an RBG, and these rules can apply to communication on portions of the RBG that overlap with communication resources having a communication direction different from that of the RBG. According to one example of this rule, UE 115 can discard RBGs falling outside a downlink or uplink subband (e.g., a subband corresponding to the communication direction of the RBG). Example scenario 305-a includes an RBG configured for downlink communication (e.g., via control signaling). Scenario 305-a includes SBFD time slots with downlink-uplink-downlink (DUD) mode and a guard band (e.g., guard band 315) between uplink and downlink subbands. Resource blocks of RBGs outside the downlink subbands (e.g., portions of RBGs 310-a and 310-b) can be "dropped," meaning the device can avoid using external RBs for communication. In example scenario 305-b, and according to the rules, the RBG is an uplink RBG overlapping with the uplink subband, and portions of the RBG can be dropped (e.g., portions of uplink RBGs 310-c and 310-d). Similarly, portions of downlink RBGs 310-e and 310-f in scenario 305-c, and portions of uplink RBGs 310-g and 310-h in scenario 305-d, can be dropped according to the rules.

[0155] According to an alternative example of the rule, a device can use an external RB for communication based on the communication direction of the configured RBG. In this way, conflict symbols can be treated as (or converted to) traditional symbols, such as downlink symbols (when the RBG has a downlink communication direction), uplink symbols (when the communication direction has an uplink communication direction), or flexible symbols. Therefore, in scenario 305-a, UE 115-a and network entity 105-a can use portions of RBGs 310-a and 310-b that overlap with the guard band, uplink subband, or both for uplink communication. Thus, uplink subband resources can be converted to downlink resources.

[0156] However, in some cases, the device may be unable to switch communication directions. Therefore, the external RBG portion can only be used when the external subband is flexible. Thus, in scenario 305-c, portions of downlink RBG 310-e and 310-f overlap with the flexible subband (of the SBFD symbol), and therefore, portions of downlink RBG 310-e and 310-f can be used for downlink communication (e.g., some or all of the flexible subband is used for downlink). Similarly, in scenario 305-d, portions of uplink RBG 310-g and 310-h overlap with the flexible subband. Therefore, according to this rule, portions of uplink RBG 310-g and 310-h can be used for uplink communication. In this case, the flexible subband can be used as an uplink resource.

[0157] In some cases, a device can apply rules to determine whether a portion of an RBG within a subband of an SBFD symbol is used for communication. More specifically, the rules applied by the device can instruct whether to use a portion of an RBG that overlaps with an SBFD resource having the same communication direction as the RBG. For example, when the number of RBs within a subband (e.g., overlapping with a downlink subband) is greater than a threshold number of resource blocks (e.g., greater than 50% of the RBG size), the portion of a downlink RBG overlapping with a downlink subband can be used. Similarly, when the number of RBs within an uplink subband is greater than a threshold number of RBs, the portion of an uplink RBG within an uplink subband can be used. With a threshold of 50% and an RBG size of 16 RBs, if the number of RBs within a subband is less than 8 RBs, these RBs are not used for communication. In another example, if the number of RBs is greater than 8 RBs, these RBs can be used for communication according to the RBG's communication direction.

[0158] In some examples, the device can apply a rule specifying that if a portion of an RBG within a subband (e.g., a portion of an RBG overlapping a subband with the same communication direction as the RBG) cannot be used, then the entire RBG is not used for communication. Therefore, in the example above, if the number of RBs within a subband is less than a threshold, the entire RBG is not used for communication. Thus, the rule could specify that when the portion of a downlink RBG overlapping with a downlink subband of an SBFD symbol is not used, another portion of the RBG overlapping with a protection or uplink subband is not used for communication. Similarly, the rule could specify that when the portion of an uplink RBG overlapping with an uplink subband of an SBFD symbol is not used, another portion of the RBG overlapping with a protection or downlink subband is not used for communication.

[0159] In some examples, based on rule-based application, the entire RBG can be used for communication. In this case, the device can apply one or more rules to determine SBFD operation within an SBFD symbol. For example, when using the portion of the uplink RBG inside the uplink subband, the portion outside the uplink subband can only be used if the SBFD symbol is configured for uplink in a flexible symbol (e.g., another guard band subband is considered flexible and used for uplink transmission). Similarly, when using the portion of the downlink RBG inside the downlink subband, the portion outside the downlink subband can be used if the SBFD symbol is configured for downlink in a flexible symbol (e.g., another guard band subband is considered flexible and used for downlink reception). When using the portion of the downlink RBG inside the downlink subband, the portion outside the downlink subband can be used if the SBFD symbol is configured for downlink in a downlink symbol (e.g., the guard band subband is converted back to a downlink symbol and used for downlink reception).

[0160] Figure 4 An example of a resource graph 400 supporting scheduling during a time slot with sub-band full-duplex resources, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. Resource graph 400 can be constructed by... Figure 1 The various aspects of the wireless communication system 100 and by Figure 2 This is achieved through a wireless communication system 200. For example, the UE 115 and network entity 105 described herein can implement various aspects of resource graph 400. Various aspects of resource graph 400 can support full-duplex operation of network entity 105 and UE 115.

[0161] As described herein, UE 115 can be referred to as "SBFD-aware". An SBFD-aware UE can be configured with a PRG for receiving PDSCH transmissions. For example, the PRG can be configured to have a size of two or four RBs. Figure 4 As shown, the PRG can be configured such that the PDSCH (e.g., PDSCH 410) can overlap with the SBFD time slots. The device can be configured to use a wideband precoder for SBFD DMRS channel estimation (e.g., when the DMRS is continuous). Resource Figure 405-a includes a continuous PRG (e.g., single subband scheduling) with wideband demodulation reference signal (DMRS) precoding.

[0162] Because a partial or wideband PRG can overlap with SBFD symbols, the device can apply rules to adjust communication within the PRG. For example, for a PRG of size two or four and the remaining RBs within the downlink subband (e.g., downlink RBs overlapping with the downlink subband), the device can perform various operations according to the rules. For example, it may not be expected that the device (e.g., the UE) is configured with a partial PRG in the middle of the BWP (e.g., the edge of the DL / UL subband). That is, the rule can specify that the UE is not expected to be configured with a precoded resource block group that overlaps with the uplink and downlink subbands of the bandwidth portion. In another example, the device can discard the internal RB without PDSCH communication (e.g., the UE does not monitor or receive PDSCH in the PRG, and network entity 105 does not transmit PDSCH in the PRG). Alternatively, the device can treat the PRG as a partial PRG with one RB and can transmit PDSCH in one of the internal RBs. Alternatively, the device can cascade the RB with one or more adjacent PRGs to form a new PRG of size three (if the adjacent PRGs have size two) or size five (if the adjacent PRGs have size four).

[0163] When the PRG size is four and the number of downlink RBs overlapping with the downlink subband is two or three, the device can perform one or more different operations according to the rules. For example, it may not be expected that the device (e.g., the UE) will be configured with a portion of the PRG in the middle of the BWP (e.g., the edge of the DL / UL subband). That is, the rule can specify that the UE is not expected to be configured with a group of precoded resource blocks that overlaps with the uplink and downlink subbands of the bandwidth portion. In another example, the device may discard two or three RBs without communication, or treat the RPG as a portion with two or three RBs. In some cases, when there are three RBs inside the downlink subband, the device may resize the PRG to two RBs and discard (e.g., not use) the third RB. Alternatively, the device may concatenate three RBs with one or more adjacent PRGs to form a new PRG of size six or seven.

[0164] As shown in resource diagram 405-b, if a wideband PRG is configured and the SBFD slots or symbols have non-contiguous downlink subbands, the device can apply rules to adjust communication within the PRG. In some example applications of the rules, the device can determine that the SBFD configuration of slots or symbols is not utilized. Alternatively, the utilization of SBFD resources can depend on the UE's capabilities. For example, if the UE is capable, it can use RBs in the downlink subbands for reception while using the same precoder on both downlink subbands. Alternatively, the device can use one downlink subband for communication. For example, the device can select one downlink subband for communication via RBs and rate match RBs in the other downlink subband. In another example of this rule, the UE is not expected to be configured with non-contiguous RBs across two downlink subbands used for the PDSCH configured with the wideband PRG. That is, the UE is not expected to be configured with non-contiguous resource blocks across two downlink subbands for receiving physical downlink shared channel transmissions configured with wideband precoded resource block groups.

[0165] Figure 5 An example of a process flow 500 supporting scheduling during a time slot with subband full-duplex resources, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. Process flow 500 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100, or may be implemented by aspects of wireless communication system 100. For example, process flow 500 includes UE 115-b and network entity 105-b, which may be as described in... Figures 1 to 4Examples of the corresponding devices described. In the following description of process flow 500, operations between UE115-b and network entity 105-b may be sent in a different order than the example order shown, or the operations performed may be performed in a different order or at different times. Some operations may also be omitted from process flow 500, and other operations may be added to process flow 500.

[0166] In the first example of process flow 500, at 505, network entity 105-b can send and UE 115-b can receive a first control signaling indicating time slots allocated for subband full-duplex communication. The time slots can be scheduled to include subband full-duplex symbols, each subband full-duplex symbol comprising a combination of uplink and downlink resources in the corresponding frequency subband.

[0167] At 510, network entity 105-b can send and UE 115-b can receive a second control signaling that schedules communication of a specified signal at one or more times, either within or outside a time slot.

[0168] At 515, UE 115-b can adjust and network entity 105-a can participate in communication during the time slot, according to the rules relating to the scheduling timing of designated signals that overlap with the sub-band full-duplex time slot.

[0169] In one example of adjusting communication according to rules, the second control signaling schedules one or more times outside of a time slot according to the rules. In this case, the rule may specify that UE 115 is not expected to transmit a specified signal in a time slot allocated for subband full-duplex communication. Therefore, communication during the time slot does not include the specified signal scheduled by the second control signaling.

[0170] In other examples of adjusting communication according to rules, the second control signaling schedules one or more timings to overlap with time slots. In this case, UE 115-a and network entity 105-a can transmit specified signals in the first communication direction and according to rules during one or more timings overlapping with time slots, such that the time slot is treated as a downlink time slot, uplink time slot, or flexible time slot based on the first communication direction. Alternatively, UE 115-a and network entity 105-a can transmit specified signals in the first communication direction and according to rules during one or more timings overlapping with time slots, such that one or more symbols conflicting with one or more timings are converted to downlink time slots, uplink time slots, or flexible symbols based on the first communication direction.

[0171] In other examples of communication adjustment, the UE can avoid transmitting a specified signal during one or more time slots based on a rule specifying when the UE will discard communication for a specified signal that overlaps with a subband full-duplex time slot. Instead of discarding one or more time slots, the UE can discard portions of one or more time slots that overlap with resources of time slots with different communication directions having one or more time slots. Thus, the UE 115-b and the network entity can determine that at least a first portion of one or more time slots overlaps with a second portion of uplink or downlink resources with communication directions different from the communication directions of the one or more time slots, and avoid transmitting the specified signal during the first portion according to the rule. The specified signal can be a synchronization signal block, a control message in a control resource set, a random access message in a random access channel time slot, a common search space set message, a tracking reference signal, or a probe reference signal.

[0172] In a second example of process flow 500, at 505, network entity 105-b can send and UE 115-b can receive a first control signaling that indicates a subband full-duplex symbol that includes at least a first communication resource associated with a first communication direction and spanning a first frequency subband and a second communication resource associated with a second communication direction and spanning a second frequency subband.

[0173] At point 510, network entity 105-b can send, and UE 115-b can receive, a second control signaling that allocates a group of resource blocks for communication during a subband full-duplex symbol. The resource block group may include multiple resource blocks and may be associated with a first communication direction, with first portions of the multiple resource blocks overlapping a first frequency subband of the first communication resource, and second portions of the multiple resource blocks overlapping a guard band or a second frequency subband of the second communication resource.

[0174] At 515, according to the rules relating to communication on a portion of a resource block group that overlaps with communication resources having a communication direction different from the first communication direction of the resource block group, UE 115-b can adjust communication via the second portion of multiple resource blocks, and network entity 105-a can participate in communication via the second portion of multiple resource blocks.

[0175] In some examples, UE 115-b and network entity 105-b can avoid using the second portion of multiple resource blocks based on a rule specifying that the UE will discard reception during resource blocks that overlap with communication resources having a communication direction different from the first communication direction of the resource block group. In some examples, adjusting communication includes: using the second portion for communication via the first communication direction or as a flexible resource according to a rule. If the device determines to use the second portion, the device can modify the second communication resource to have the first communication direction or to have a flexible allocation (e.g., modify the resource to have a traditional uplink, downlink, or flexible symbol). In some examples, UE 115-b and network entity 105-b can determine whether to use the first portion of multiple resource blocks for communication based at least in part on the number of the first portion relative to a threshold, and the threshold can be based on the total number of resource blocks in the resource block group.

[0176] In the third example of process flow 500, at 505, network entity 105-a can send and UE 115-b can receive a first control signaling indicating a subband full-duplex symbol that includes at least a first uplink communication resource spanning a first frequency subband and a second downlink communication resource spanning a second frequency subband.

[0177] At point 510, network entity 105-a can send and UE 115-a can receive a second control signaling that allocates a precoded resource block group for receiving physical downlink shared channel transmission. The precoded resource block group may include multiple resource blocks, and a first portion of the multiple resource blocks overlaps with a first frequency subband of the first uplink communication resource.

[0178] At 515, according to the rules relating to communication on a portion of the precoded resource block group that overlaps with the uplink communication resources of the sub-band full-duplex symbol, UE 115-b may adjust communication via the precoded resource block group, and network entity 105-a may participate in communication via the precoded resource block group.

[0179] For example, the UE may not expect a portion of the PRG (e.g., the edge of the downlink / uplink subband) to be configured in the middle of the BWP. In this case, the second control signaling can schedule the PRG so that it does not overlap with the uplink subband. As another example, if the size of the precoded resource block group is two or four and the number of resource blocks in the first part is one, then UE 115-b can avoid monitoring physical downlink shared channel transmissions during the first part at least in part based on the size and number, and the network entity can transmit physical downlink shared channel transmissions during the first part at least in part based on the size and number. In other examples, UE 115-b can monitor physical downlink shared channel transmissions during the first part at least in part based on the size and number, and network entity 105-b can transmit physical downlink shared channel transmissions during the first part at least in part based on the size and number. In other examples, UE 115-b and the network entity may combine the first portion with the second precoded resource block group at least in part based on size and quantity to generate a combined precoded resource block group, and transmit physical downlink shared channel transmissions in the combined precoded resource block group.

[0180] If the size of the precoding resource block group is four and the number of resource blocks in the first part is two or three, the device can, according to rules, avoid using the resource block group or use it for communication in physical downlink shared transmission. In other cases, the device can use a sub-part of the first part for communication in physical downlink shared channel transmission. That is, the device can effectively adjust the size of the portion overlapping with the subband.

[0181] If the first control signaling indicates that a subband full-duplex symbol of a discontinuous downlink subband is included (e.g., the first control signaling indicates a first uplink communication resource, a second downlink communication resource, and a third downlink communication resource that is discontinuous with the second downlink communication resource), and the second control signaling indicates a precoded resource block group as a wideband precoded resource block group, then the device can use the precoded resource block group and avoid using the uplink resource with the subband full-duplex symbol. In other cases, the device can use two downlink subbands for communication in a physical downlink shared channel (PHSC) transmission. In such cases, the first and second downlink communication resources can use the same precoder according to rules. The use of two downlink subbands may depend on the UE's ability to monitor discontinuous PHSC transmissions with the wideband precoded resource block group. In other cases, the device can select one of the downlink subbands for transmitting PHSC transmissions. In this case, the unselected resource block is rate-matched to the selected resource. As another example, the UE does not expect to be configured with discontinuous RBs across two downlink subbands used for a PDSCH configured with a wideband PRG. In this way, the broadband PRG is not scheduled to overlap with the two downlink subbands.

[0182] Figure 6 A block diagram 600 of a device 605 supporting scheduling during time slots with subband full-duplex resources, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. Device 605 may be an example of aspects of a UE 115 as described herein. Device 605 may include a receiver 610, a transmitter 615, and a communications manager 620. Device 605 may also include a processor. Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0183] Receiver 610 may provide a unit for receiving information (such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof) associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels associated with scheduling during time slots with sub-band full-duplex resources). The information may be passed to other components of device 605. Receiver 610 may utilize a single antenna or a collection of antennas.

[0184] Transmitter 615 may provide a unit for transmitting signals generated by other components of device 605. For example, transmitter 615 may transmit information (such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof) associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels associated with scheduling during time slots with sub-band full-duplex resources). In some examples, transmitter 615 may be co-located with receiver 610 in a transceiver module. Transmitter 615 may utilize a single antenna or a collection of multiple antennas.

[0185] The communication manager 620, receiver 610, transmitter 615, or various combinations thereof, or various components thereof, may be examples of units for performing the various aspects of scheduling during a time slot having sub-band full-duplex resources as described herein. For example, the communication manager 620, receiver 610, transmitter 615, or various combinations thereof, or components thereof, may support methods for performing one or more of the functions described herein.

[0186] In some examples, the communication manager 620, receiver 610, transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in hardware (e.g., in communication management circuitry). The hardware may include a processor, digital signal processor (DSP), central processing unit (CPU), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, microcontroller, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware component, or any combination thereof configured to or otherwise support units for performing the functions described herein. In some examples, a processor and memory coupled to a processor may be configured to perform one or more of the functions described herein (e.g., by executing instructions stored in memory by the processor).

[0187] Alternatively or concurrently, in some examples, the communication manager 620, receiver 610, transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented using code executed by a processor (e.g., as communication management software or firmware). If implemented using processor-executed code, the functionality of the communication manager 620, receiver 610, transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may be performed by a general-purpose processor, DSP, CPU, ASIC, FPGA, microcontroller, or any combination of these or other programmable logic devices (e.g., units configured or otherwise supported for performing the functions described in this disclosure).

[0188] In some examples, the communication manager 620 can be configured to use or otherwise cooperate with the receiver 610, transmitter 615, or both to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, acquiring, monitoring, outputting, transmitting). For example, the communication manager 620 can receive information from the receiver 610, send information to the transmitter 615, or integrate with the receiver 610, transmitter 615, or both to acquire information, output information, or perform various other operations as described herein.

[0189] According to the examples disclosed herein, the communication manager 620 can support wireless communication at the UE. For example, the communication manager 620 can be configured or operable to support elements for receiving a first control signaling that indicates a time slot allocated for sub-band full-duplex communication, wherein the time slot is scheduled to include sub-band full-duplex symbols, each sub-band full-duplex symbol including a combination of uplink and downlink resources in a corresponding frequency sub-band. The communication manager 620 can be configured or operable to support elements for receiving a second control signaling that schedules one or more timings for communication of a specified signal, either within or outside the time slot. The communication manager 620 can be configured or operable to support elements for adjusting communication during a time slot according to rules relating to the scheduling timing of a specified signal that overlaps with a sub-band full-duplex time slot.

For example, the communication manager 620 may be capable of, configured to, or operable to support elements for receiving first control signaling indicating a subband full-duplex symbol, the subband full-duplex symbol comprising at least a first communication resource associated with a first communication direction and spanning a first frequency subband, and a second communication resource associated with a second communication direction and spanning a second frequency subband. The communication manager 620 may be capable of, configured to, or operable to support elements for receiving second control signaling allocating a group of resource blocks for communication during a subband full-duplex symbol, the resource block group comprising a set of multiple resource blocks associated with the first communication direction, wherein a first portion of the set of multiple resource blocks overlaps with a first frequency subband of the first communication resource, and a second portion of the set of multiple resource blocks overlaps with a guard band or a second frequency subband of the second communication resource. The communication manager 620 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support a unit for adjusting communication via a second portion of a set of multiple resource blocks according to rules relating to communication on a portion of a resource block group that overlaps with communication resources having a communication direction different from the first communication direction of the resource block group.

[0191] Alternatively or additionally, according to the examples disclosed herein, the communication manager 620 may support wireless communication at the UE. For example, the communication manager 620 may be configured or operable to support elements for receiving first control signaling indicating a subband full-duplex symbol, the subband full-duplex symbol comprising at least a first uplink communication resource spanning a first frequency subband and a second downlink communication resource spanning a second frequency subband. The communication manager 620 may be configured or operable to support elements for receiving second control signaling allocating a precoded resource block group for receiving physical downlink shared channel transmissions, the precoded resource block group comprising a set of multiple resource blocks, wherein a first portion of the set of multiple resource blocks overlaps with a first frequency subband of the first uplink communication resource. The communication manager 620 may be configured or operable to support elements for adjusting communication via the precoded resource block group according to rules relating to communication on portions of the precoded resource block group overlapping with the uplink communication resources of the subband full-duplex symbol.

[0192] By including or configuring the communication manager 620 according to the examples described herein, the device 605 (e.g., controlling the receiver 610, transmitter 615, communication manager 620, or a combination thereof, or a processor otherwise coupled thereto) can support techniques for more efficient use of communication resources through full-duplex operation of the device supporting the wireless communication system. Therefore, these techniques can support improved latency and communication efficiency.

[0193] Figure 7 A block diagram 700 illustrates a device 705 supporting scheduling during time slots with subband full-duplex resources, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure. Device 705 may be an example of aspects of device 605 or UE 115 as described herein. Device 705 may include a receiver 710, a transmitter 715, and a communications manager 720.

[0196] Device 705 or its various components may be examples of units for performing various aspects of scheduling during time slots with sub-band full-duplex resources as described herein. For example, communication manager 720 may include a first control signaling interface 725, a second control signaling interface 730, a time slot communication adjustment component 735, an RB communication adjustment component 740, a PRG communication adjustment component 745, or any combination thereof. Communication manager 720 may be examples of various aspects of communication manager 620 as described herein. In some examples, communication manager 720 or its various components may be configured to use receiver 710, transmitter 715, or both, or otherwise cooperate with receiver 710, transmitter 715, or both to perform various operations (e.g., receive, acquire, monitor, output, transmit). For example, communication manager 720 may receive information from receiver 710, send information to transmitter 715, or integrate with receiver 710, transmitter 715, or both to acquire information, output information, or perform various other operations as described herein.

[0197] According to the examples disclosed herein, the communication manager 720 can support wireless communication at the UE. A first control signaling interface 725 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support elements for receiving first control signaling, which indicates time slots allocated for sub-band full-duplex communication, wherein the time slots are scheduled to include sub-band full-duplex symbols, each sub-band full-duplex symbol including a combination of uplink and downlink resources in a corresponding frequency sub-band. A second control signaling interface 730 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support elements for receiving second control signaling, which schedules one or more timings for communication of a specified signal, either within or outside the time slot. A time slot communication adjustment component 735 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support elements for adjusting communication during a time slot according to rules relating to the scheduling timing of a specified signal overlapping with a sub-band full-duplex time slot.

[0198] Alternatively or concurrently, according to the examples disclosed herein, the communication manager 720 may support wireless communication at the UE. A first control signaling interface 725 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support elements for receiving first control signaling indicating a subband full-duplex symbol, the subband full-duplex symbol comprising at least a first communication resource associated with a first communication direction and spanning a first frequency subband, and a second communication resource associated with a second communication direction and spanning a second frequency subband.

The RB communication adjustment component 740 is a unit capable of, configured to, or operable to support adjusting communication via a second portion of a set of multiple resource blocks according to rules relating to communication on a portion of a resource block group that overlaps with communication resources having a communication direction different from the first communication direction of the resource block group.
