Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to wireless communication, and to techniques and apparatuses for satellite location based interference mitigation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems can employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, and / or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and long term evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP).

[0003] A wireless network can include one or more network nodes that support communication for wireless communication devices, such as a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE can communicate with a network node via downlink communications and uplink communications. “Downlink” (or “DL”) refers to communications from network nodes to UEs, and “uplink” (or “UL”) refers to communications from UEs to network nodes. Some wireless networks can support device-to-device communication, such as via local links (e.g., sidelink (SL), wireless local area network (WLAN) links, and / or wireless personal area network (WPAN) links, among other examples).

[0004] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different UEs to communicate at the city, country, region, and / or global levels. New Radio (NR) (also known as 5G) is a collection of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink, CP-OFDM and / or Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, and supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0020] 6G applications may be allocated frequency ranges, such as the 7-15 GHz spectrum, which are also used by satellite services. Allocating spectrum for 6G applications to frequencies shared with or adjacent to satellite bands can lead to cross-interference between terrestrial 6G networks and satellites (e.g., space stations). For example, in the case of adjacent bands, transmissions from the terrestrial network may leak into the satellite band, interfering with transmissions to or from the satellite. The cumulative interference resulting from deploying terrestrial networks under satellite coverage areas can degrade the performance of satellite services.

[0021] Various aspects typically involve wireless communication. Some aspects are more specifically related to interference mitigation for satellite services. In some examples, wireless communication devices (e.g., terrestrial network nodes, user equipment (UEs), etc.) can obtain indication of the satellite's position. Wireless communication devices can mitigate interference with radiation propagating to or from the satellite, at least in part, based on the satellite's position relative to the wireless communication device. For example, the wireless communication device can stop transmissions in a frequency range, reduce the transmit power used for transmissions in a frequency range, or reduce radiation output from the wireless communication device within a configured angular range (e.g., an angle above the horizon).

[0022] Specific aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented to achieve one or more of the following potential advantages. In some examples, the described techniques can be used to enable dynamic spectrum sharing between terrestrial and space applications with improved spectrum utilization efficiency by mitigating interference to radiation propagating to or from the satellite, based at least in part on the satellite's position relative to the wireless communication device. By mitigating interference, the wireless communication device can protect one or more services provided by the satellite. Therefore, by mitigating interference caused by the wireless communication device, terrestrial networks and satellites can coexist with transmissions in the same spectrum.

[0023] Stopping transmissions within a frequency range can help prevent the transmission of radiation from wireless communication devices that could interfere with the propagation of or from satellites. Alternatively, stopping transmissions within a frequency range can increase the effective guard band between 6G transmissions and satellite transmissions, thereby reducing the amount of unwanted transmissions penetrating the bandwidth of satellites (e.g., satellite receivers).

[0024] In cases where frequencies partially overlap, reducing the transmit power used for transmissions within that frequency range may help mitigate interference with radiation propagating to or from satellites, while allowing wireless communication devices to continue outputting transmissions within that frequency range.

[0025] Reducing radiation emitted from a wireless communication device within a configured angular range allows the device to control the directionality of the radiation, thereby mitigating interference, while also enabling the device to continue transmitting data outside the configured angular range. For example, reducing radiation emitted from a wireless communication device above the horizon angle can reduce interference with radiation propagating to a satellite, which may be located above the horizon angle.

[0026] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular 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 this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus or a method may be implemented using any number of the aspects set forth herein. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses or methods practiced using structures, functionalities, or structures and functionalities other than or different from the aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0027] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the detailed embodiments below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, “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 specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0028] While this document uses terms commonly associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) Radio Access Technology (RAT) to describe the aspects, the aspects of this disclosure may also be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or post-5G (e.g., 6G) RAT.

[0029] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G network (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)), or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G network (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)). 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), a UE 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other entities. Network node 110 is a network node that communicates with UE 120. As shown, network node 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, network node 110 can be an aggregated network node, meaning 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, network node 110 can be a decomposed network node (sometimes referred to as a decomposed base station), meaning that network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed across 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)).

[0030] In some examples, network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with UE 120 via a radio access link (such as RU). In some examples, 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 DU). In some examples, network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a midhaul link or with the core network via a backhaul link (such as CU). In some examples, network node 110 (such as aggregated network node 110 or decomposed network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and / or one or more DUs. 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, RU, CU, a network mobility element, a core network node, a network element, a network device, a RAN node, or a combination thereof. In some examples, network nodes 110 can interconnect with each other or with one or more other network nodes 110 in wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network through various types of front-end, mid-end, and / or back-end interfaces (such as direct physical connections, air interfaces, or virtual networks).

[0031] In some examples, network node 110 can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" can refer to the coverage area of ​​network node 110 and / or the network node subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. Network node 110 can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., with a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. A picocell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., residential) and can allow restricted access by UE 120 associated with a femtocell (e.g., UE 120 in a Closed User Group (CSG)). Network node 110 used for macrocells can be referred to as a macro network node. Network node 110 used for picocells can be referred to as a pico network node. The network node 110 used in a femtocell can be referred to as a femtocell network node or a home network node. Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110a can be a macro network node for macro cell 102a, network node 110b can be a pico network node for pico cell 102b, and network node 110c can be a femto network node for femto cell 102c. Network nodes can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, the cells may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell can move depending on the location of a mobile network node 110 (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0032] In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to an aggregated base station, a decomposed base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, "base station" or "network node" may refer to a CU, DU, 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 device configured to perform one or more functions (such as those described herein in conjunction 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 in the same geographical location or in different geographical locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to replicate the performance of at least a portion of a function, and the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to any one or more of those 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 can be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one base station function rather than another. In this way, a single device can include more than one base station.

[0033] Wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node capable of receiving data transmissions from upstream nodes (e.g., network node 110 or UE 120) and transmitting those data transmissions to downstream nodes (e.g., UE 120 or network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 capable of relaying transmissions to other UEs 120. Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110d (e.g., a relay network node) can communicate with network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between network node 110a and UE 120d. The network node 110 for relay communication may be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay network node, relay node, repeater, etc.

[0034] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of network nodes 110, such as macro nodes, pico nodes, femto nodes, relay nodes, etc. These different types of network nodes 110 can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro nodes can have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico nodes, femto nodes, and relay nodes can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0035] Network controller 130 may be coupled to or communicate with a set of network nodes 110, and provide coordination and control for these network nodes 110. Network controller 130 may communicate with network nodes 110 via a backhaul or midhaul communication link. Network nodes 110 may communicate directly with each other or indirectly via a wireless or wired backhaul communication link. In some aspects, network controller 130 may be a CU or a core network device, or may include a CU or a core network device.

[0036] UE 120 may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, access terminals, terminals, mobile stations, and / or user units. UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), 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 device, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio unit), an in-vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, the UE function of a network node, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0037] Some UEs 120 can be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, remote devices, sensors, instruments, monitors, and / or location tags that can communicate with network nodes, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 can be considered customer premises equipment. UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses the components of UE 120 (e.g., processor components and / or memory components). In some examples, the processor components and memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0038] Typically, any number of wireless networks 100 can be deployed within a given geographical area. Each wireless network 100 can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT within a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0039] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using network node 110 as an intermediary device to communicate with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols) and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by network node 110.

[0040] Devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., by frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using one or more operating frequency bands. In 5G NR, the two initial operating frequency bands have been designated as frequency range names FR1 (410 MHz – 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz – 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is generally (interchangeably) referred to as the “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar naming issue sometimes arises regarding FR2, which, although different from the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz – 300 GHz) designated as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is generally (interchangeably) referred to as the “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles.

[0041] Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as intermediate frequency (IF) bands. Recent 5G NR studies have designated the operating bands of these IF bands as the frequency range name FR3 (7.125 GHz – 24.25 GHz). Bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 and / or FR2 characteristics, and thus can effectively extend the features of FR1 and / or FR2 to IF band frequencies. Furthermore, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation above 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating frequency bands have been designated as the frequency range names 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.

[0042] Considering the examples above, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that the terms "sub-6 GHz" and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies that are less than 6 GHz, can be within FR1, or can include intermediate frequency band frequencies. Furthermore, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that the terms "millimeter wave" and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies that can include intermediate frequency band frequencies, can be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1 and / or FR5, or can be within the EHF band. It is anticipated 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 are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0043] In some aspects, wireless communication devices (e.g., network node 110, UE 120, etc.) may include communication manager 140 or communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, communication manager 140 or communication manager 150 may obtain indication of the position of a satellite; and mitigate interference with radiation propagating to or from the satellite, at least in part, based on the position of the satellite relative to the wireless communication device. Additionally or alternatively, communication manager 140 or communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0044] As pointed out above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a network node 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, such as... T One antenna ( T ≥1). UE 120 may be equipped with an array of antennas 252a to 252r, such as R One antenna ( R ≥1). Network node 110 of Example 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as antenna 234 and modem 232. In some examples, network node 110 may include an interface, communication component, or other component that facilitates communication with UE 120 or another network node. Some network node 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).

[0046] At network node 110, transmitting processor 220 can receive data from data source 212 intended for use with UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120). Transmitting processor 220 can select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for UE 120, at least in part, based on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from UE 120. Network node 110 can process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for UE 120, at least in part, based on the MCS selected for UE 120, and can provide data symbols for UE 120. Transmitting processor 220 can process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, permission, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulated reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). Transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding, if applicable) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can combine sets of output symbol streams (e.g., ... T The output symbol streams are provided to the corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 ... T Each modem 232 (shown as modems 232a to 232t) can be used to process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 can also use a corresponding modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. Modems 232a to 232t can be used via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., ...). T A collection of downlink signals (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t) is used to transmit downlink signals. T (One downlink signal).

[0047] At UE 120, the set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) can receive downlink signals from network node 110 and / or other network nodes 110, and can share the received signals (e.g., R The set of received signals is provided to the modem 254 (e.g., 100 received signals). REach modem 254 (shown as modems 254a to 254r) can be used to receive a signal. For example, each received signal can be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of modem 254. Each modem 254 can use a corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each modem 254 can use a demodulator component to further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbol from modulator 254, perform MIMO detection on the received symbol (if applicable), and can provide the detected symbol. Receiver processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbol, can provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and can provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine parameters such as the Received Reference Signal Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Received Reference Signal Quality (RSRQ), and / or CQI. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0048] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. For example, network controller 130 may include one or more devices in the core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with network node 110 via communication unit 294.

[0049] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within the following: one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna arrays, etc. Antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), coplanar antenna element sets, non-coplanar antenna element sets, and / or coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (such as...) Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0050] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmit processor 264 can generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from the transmit processor 264 can be pre-encoded by the TX MIMO processor 266 (if applicable), further processed by the modulator 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to network node 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of UE 120 may include a modulator and demodulator. In some examples, UE 120 includes a transceiver. This transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and a memory 282 to execute this document (e.g., reference). Figures 5-7 ( ) any aspect of the methods described in the method.

[0051] At network node 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and / or other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232 (e.g., demodulator component of modem 232 (shown as DEMOD)), detected by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receive processor 238 can provide decoded data to data sink 239 and decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Network node 110 may include communication unit 244 and can 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 and / or uplink communication. In some examples, modem 232 of network node 110 may include modulator and demodulator. In some examples, network node 110 includes transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modem 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TXMIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to execute this document (e.g., reference). Figures 5-7 ( ) any aspect of the methods described in the method.

[0052] The controller / processor 240 of network node 110, the controller / controller 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2 Any other components may perform one or more techniques associated with satellite location-based interference mitigation, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of network node 110, the controller / controller 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component can perform or direct, for example Figure 6 The operation of process 600 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program code for network node 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when executed by one or more processors of network node 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, transformation, and / or interpretation), one or more instructions may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or network node 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 6 The operation of process 600 and / or other processes as described herein. In some examples, the execution instructions may include run instructions, conversion instructions, compilation instructions, and / or interpretation instructions, etc. In some aspects, the wireless communication device described herein is network node 110, included in network node 110, or includes Figure 2 One or more components of the network node 110 shown herein. In some aspects, the wireless communication device described herein is UE 120, included in UE 120, or comprising Figure 2 One or more components of the UE 120 shown.

[0053] In some aspects, the wireless communication device (e.g., UE 120) includes units for obtaining indications of satellite positions; and / or units for mitigating interference with radiation propagating to or from satellites, at least in part, based on the satellite's position relative to the wireless communication device. In some aspects, units for the wireless communication device to perform the operations described herein may include one or more of the following: a communication manager 150, a transmit processor 220, a TX MIMO processor 230, a modem 232, an antenna 234, a MIMO detector 236, a receive processor 238, a controller / processor 240, a memory 242, or a scheduler 246. In some aspects, units for the wireless communication device to perform the operations described herein may include one or more of the following: a communication manager 140, an antenna 252, a modem 254, a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a transmit processor 264, a TX MIMO processor 266, a controller / processor 280, or a memory 282.

[0054] In some aspects, an individual processor can perform all the functions described as being performed by one or more processors. In other aspects, one or more processors can jointly perform a set of functions. For example, a first set of processors(s) of one or more processors can perform a first function described as being performed by one or more processors, and a second set of processors(s) of one or more processors can perform a second function described as being performed by one or more processors. The first set of processors and the second set of processors can be the same set of processors or they can be different sets of processors. The reference to "one or more processors" should be understood as a combination of references. Figure 2 The processor described refers to any one or more processors. The reference to "one or more memories" should be understood to refer to any one or more memories of the corresponding device, such as those in conjunction with... Figure 2 The memory being described. For example, a function described as being performed by one or more memories can be performed by the same subset of one or more memories or by different subsets of one or more memories.

[0055] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are shown as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280 or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0056] As pointed out above, Figure 2This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.

[0057] Communication systems (such as 5G NR systems) can be deployed in various ways using a variety of components or parts. In a 5G NR system or network, network nodes, network entities, network mobility elements, RAN nodes, core network nodes, network elements, base stations, or network equipment can be implemented in an aggregated or decomposed architecture. For example, a base station (such as a Node B (NB), evolved NB (eNB), NR base station, 5G NB, access point (AP), TRP, or cell, etc.) or one or more units (or components) performing base station functionality can be implemented as an aggregated base station (also called a standalone base station or monolithic base station) or a decomposed base station. "Network entity" or "network node" can refer to a decomposed base station or one or more units of a decomposed base station (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs, or combinations thereof).

[0058] Aggregated base stations (e.g., aggregated network nodes) can be configured to utilize radio protocol stacks that are physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or cell). Decomposed base stations (e.g., decomposed network nodes) can be configured to utilize protocol stacks that are physically or logically distributed across two or more cells (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 co-located with a CU, or alternatively, can be geographically or virtually distributed across one or more other network nodes. A DU can be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CUs, DUs, and RUs can also be implemented as a virtual cell (such as a Virtual Central Unit (VCU), Virtual Distributed Unit (VDU), or Virtual Radio Unit (VRU), etc.).

[0059] Base station type operation or network design can consider the aggregation characteristics of base station functionality. For example, decomposed base stations can be used in IAB networks, Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN (such as network configurations sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance)), or Virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRAN, also known as Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN)) to facilitate the scaling of communication systems by separating base station functionality into one or more units that can be deployed independently. Decomposed base stations can include functionality implemented by two or more units across various physical locations, as well as functionality virtually implemented for at least one unit, which allows for flexibility in network design. The individual units of a decomposed base station can be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the decomposed base station.

[0060] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example disaggregated base station architecture 300 according to this disclosure. The disaggregated base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310, which may communicate directly with the core network 320 via a backhaul link, or indirectly with the core network 320 via 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 a corresponding midrange link (such as via an F1 interface). Each of the DUs 330 may communicate with one or more RUs 340 via a corresponding forward link. Each of the RUs 340 may communicate with one or more UEs 120 via a corresponding radio frequency (RF) access link. In some implementations, a UE 120 may be served simultaneously by multiple RUs 340.

[0061] Each of the units (including CU 310, DU 330, RU 340) and the near-RT RIC 325, non-RT RIC 315, and SMO frame 305 may include or be coupled to one or more interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals, data, or information (collectively, signals) via a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each of the units, or an associated processor or controller providing instructions to one or more communication interfaces of the respective unit, may be configured to communicate with one or more other units via a transmission medium. In some examples, each of the units may include: a wired interface configured to receive or transmit signals over a wired transmission medium; and a wireless interface, which may include a receiver, transmitter, or transceiver (such as an RF transceiver), configured to receive or transmit signals over a wireless transmission medium, or both.

[0062] In some implementations, the CU 310 can host one or more higher-level control functions. These control functions may include Radio Resource Control (RRC) functions, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) functions, or Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) functions, etc. Each control function can be implemented using an interface configured to transmit signaling to other control functions hosted by the CU 310. The CU 310 can be configured to handle user plane functionalities (e.g., Central Unit-User Plane (CU-UP) functionalities), control plane functionalities (e.g., Central Unit-Control Plane (CU-CP) functionalities), or combinations thereof. In some implementations, the CU 310 can be logically divided into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. CU-UP units can communicate bidirectionally with CU-CP units via an interface (such as an E1 interface when implemented in an O-RAN configuration). The CU 310 can be implemented to communicate with the DU 330 when necessary for network control and signaling.

[0063] Each DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit comprising one or more base station functions to control the operation of one or more RU 340s. In some aspects, at least in part depending on the functional breakdown (such as that defined by 3GPP), the DU 330 may host one or more of the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers. In some aspects, the one or more high PHY layers may be implemented by one or more modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and modulation and demodulation. In some aspects, the DU 330 may further host one or more low PHY layers such as those implemented by one or more modules for Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Inverse FFT (iFFT), or digital beamforming or Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering. Each layer (which may also be referred to as a module) may be implemented using an interface configured to transmit signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 330 or with control functions hosted by the CU 310.

[0064] 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, based on function splitting (e.g., function splitting defined by 3GPP) (such as lower-layer function splitting). In such an architecture, each RU 340 can operate to handle over-the-air (OTA) communication with one or more UE 120s. In some implementations, the real-time and non-real-time aspects of control and user plane communication with the RU 340 can be controlled by the corresponding DU 330. In some scenarios, this configuration allows each DU 330 and CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture.

[0065] The SMO framework 305 can be configured to support RAN deployment and the provisioning of both non-virtualized 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, which can be managed via operation and maintenance interfaces 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 (e.g., instantiating virtualized network elements) via a cloud computing platform interface such as the O2 interface. Such virtualized network elements may include, but are not limited to, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, non-RT RIC 315, and near-RT RIC 325. In some implementations, the SMO framework 305 can communicate with the hardware aspects of a 4G RAN, such as an Open eNB (O-eNB) 311, via the O1 interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO framework 305 can communicate directly with each of one or more RUs 340 via a corresponding O1 interface. The SMO framework 305 may also include a non-RT RIC 315 configured to support the functionality of the SMO framework 305.

[0066] The non-RT RIC 315 can be configured to include logical functions that enable non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) workflows (including model training and updates), 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 (e.g., via the A1 interface). The near-RT RIC 325 can be configured to include logical functions that enable near real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via data collection and actions on interfaces connecting one or more CUs 310s, one or more DUs 330s, or both, and O-eNBs to the near-RT RIC 325 (e.g., via the E2 interface).

[0067] In some implementations, to generate AI / ML models 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. This information can be utilized by the near-RT RIC 325 and can be received from non-network data sources or network functions at the SMO framework 305 or the non-RT RIC 315. In some examples, the non-RT RIC 315 or 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 in performance and employ AI / ML models to perform corrective actions via the SMO framework 305 (such as reconfiguration via the O1 interface) or by creating RAN management policies (such as A1 policies).

[0068] As pointed out above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 3 The example described.

[0069] Figure 4A and Figure 4B These are schematic diagrams illustrating examples 400A and 400B of satellite communication environments according to this disclosure.

[0070] In Example 400A, the satellite may be a Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) satellite that provides telecommunications services (e.g., exchanging packets with the UE). In some examples, the FSS satellite may be configured for Earth-to-space communications and / or space-to-earth communications. Earth-to-space communications may include uplink transmissions from a terrestrial network (e.g., including the UE, network nodes, earth stations, etc.) to the satellite. Space-to-earth communications may include downlink transmissions from the satellite to a terrestrial network (e.g., including the UE, network nodes, earth stations, etc.).

[0071] In Example 400B, the satellite could be an FSS satellite or an Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS) satellite. EESS satellites can provide passive sensing services similar to radar. For example, an EESS satellite can transmit incident electromagnetic waves and detect the reflected electromagnetic waves to obtain measurement data.

[0072] 6G applications can be allocated frequency ranges that are also used by satellite services (e.g., FSS, EESS, etc.), such as the 7-15 GHz spectrum. Therefore, 6G deployments can share spectrum with satellite services. Assigning spectrum for 6G applications to frequencies that share satellite bands (e.g., co-channel operation) or are adjacent to satellite bands (e.g., non-co-channel operation) can lead to cross-interference between terrestrial networks and satellites. For example, since 6G systems operating in mid-band or high-band frequencies can employ active antenna systems (AAS), sidelobes in the antenna pattern can cause significant performance degradation. For example, in the case of non-co-channel operation, transmissions from the terrestrial network may leak into the satellite band, interfering with transmissions to or from the satellite.

[0073] For frequency bands that share or are adjacent to those used for FSS in uplink (e.g., Earth-to-space) communications or EESS, cumulative interference from terrestrial networks deployed under satellite coverage areas can lead to performance degradation. As shown in Examples 400A and 400B, radiation originating from terrestrial networks (e.g., from UEs and / or network nodes) can interfere with signals received by the satellite (e.g., Earth-to-space communications, measurement data, etc.). For example, radiation from network nodes and / or UEs may reach the satellite and cumulatively interfere with signals received by the satellite. As shown in Example 400A, transmissions originating from terrestrial networks (e.g., from UEs and / or network nodes) can also / or alternatively interfere with signals transmitted from the satellite and received by the ground station (e.g., space-to-Earth communications).

[0074] As pointed out above, Figure 4A and Figure 4B This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 4A and Figure 4B Example of the description.

[0075] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 500 associated with satellite location-based interference mitigation according to this disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, the wireless communication device (“WCD”) 510 can perform one or more operations based on the satellite’s location to mitigate interference. The wireless communication device 510 can be a network node 110 (e.g., a terrestrial network node), a UE 120, etc.

[0076] As indicated by reference numeral 520 in the attached figure, the wireless communication device 510 can obtain an indication of the satellite's position. For example, the wireless communication device 510 can detect or determine the satellite's orbit (e.g., trajectory). This orbit can be a non-geostationary orbit (NGSO). The satellite's position can be based on its orbit.

[0077] Wireless communication device 510 can obtain an indication of a satellite's position based at least in part on predetermined (e.g., a priori) information about the satellite's location. In some examples, the predetermined information may be stored in a database. In some examples, wireless communication device 510 may obtain the predetermined information from standard documents, such as International Telecommunication Union (ITU) documents containing databases (e.g., the ITU Radiocommunication (ITU-R) Database).

[0078] The predetermined information may relate to the satellite's orbit, and the wireless communication device 510 can determine the satellite's position based on the predetermined information and / or other information, such as timing information (e.g., date and time), the location of the wireless communication device 510, etc. The predetermined information may be stored locally (e.g., on the wireless communication device 510) or remotely (e.g., on a server). Obtaining an indication of the satellite's position based at least in part on predetermined information allows the wireless communication device 510 to determine the satellite's position without introducing additional hardware into the network infrastructure.

[0079] In some examples, the wireless communication device 510 may obtain one or more indications of the satellite's position from one or more satellite detectors. For example, the satellite detector may be an ad hoc satellite RF detector (e.g., a receiver platform including one or more receivers). The satellite detector may obtain transmissions from the satellite (e.g., downlink communication, incident electromagnetic waves for measurement, etc.) that can provide indications of the satellite's position. For example, the satellite detector may obtain transmissions from the satellite over a period of time, which can provide indications of the satellite's orbit.

[0080] In some examples, at least one of the satellite detectors may be co-located with wireless communication device 510 (e.g., the satellite detector may be located at a site of network node 110). In some examples, at least one of the satellite detectors may not be co-located with wireless communication device 510 (e.g., the satellite detector may be located at a location outside the site of network node 110). Not co-locating the satellite detector with wireless communication device 510 allows the satellite detector to be placed in locations that increase the probability of detection, such as locations with improved line of sight to the satellite.

[0081] In some examples, multiple satellite detectors can obtain transmissions from a satellite. Multiple satellite detectors can provide multiple indications of the satellite's position, which can refine or improve the accuracy of the satellite's position compared to a position determined based on measurements from a single satellite detector.

[0082] Wireless communication device 510 can obtain indications of satellite positions directly or via one or more intermediate devices from one or more satellite detectors. The satellite detectors, intermediate devices, and / or wireless communication device 510 can calculate the satellite's position based on one or more raw measurements transmitted by one or more satellites detected by the satellite detectors. Therefore, the indication of satellite position obtained by wireless communication device 510 can include raw measurements (in this case, wireless communication device 520 can determine the satellite's position based on raw measurements), indications of the satellite's orbit already determined by the satellite detectors or intermediate devices based on the raw measurements, etc. For example, the satellite detectors can infer the satellite's orbit and transmit the satellite's orbit to a 6G network, which may include wireless communication device 510 and / or intermediate devices.

[0083] As indicated by reference numeral 530 in the accompanying drawings, the wireless communication device 510 can mitigate interference with radiation propagating to or from the satellite, at least in part, based on the satellite's position relative to the wireless communication device 510. For example, the wireless communication device 510 can apply one or more interference mitigation techniques based on a terrestrial (e.g., 6G) network determining that the satellite is located over a geographic area (e.g., a country, region, etc.) containing the wireless communication device 510. For instance, the wireless communication device 510 can apply interference mitigation techniques when a satellite is detected near that geographic area (e.g., within a threshold distance of that geographic area), and can cease applying interference mitigation techniques when the satellite is no longer near that geographic area.

[0084] In some examples, wireless communication device 510 can mitigate interference with radiation propagating to the satellite, such as Earth-to-space (e.g., uplink) communications, reflected electromagnetic waves used for measurements performed by the satellite, etc. In some examples, wireless communication device 510 can mitigate interference with radiation propagating from the satellite to the earth station, such as space-to-earth (e.g., downlink) communications.

[0085] By mitigating interference with radiation propagating to or from the satellite, at least in part, based on the satellite's position relative to the wireless communication device 510, dynamic spectrum sharing between terrestrial and space applications can be achieved, improving spectrum utilization efficiency. By mitigating interference, the wireless communication device 510 can protect services provided by the satellite. Therefore, terrestrial networks and satellites (e.g., satellite receivers) can coexist with transmissions in the same spectrum by mitigating interference caused by intrusive nodes (e.g., the wireless communication device 510) in the terrestrial network.

[0086] By mitigating interference at least in part based on the satellite's position relative to the wireless communication device 510, the wireless communication device 510 can mitigate interference during a specific amount of time that the satellite is flying over a geographic area (e.g., where satellite coverage in that geographic area is sparse), which can reduce the impact of interference mitigation on the performance of the terrestrial network. For example, the wireless communication device 510 can perform interference mitigation for a limited amount of time during a day, a week, etc., which can reduce the impact of interference mitigation on the performance of the wireless communication device 500. For example, the wireless communication device 510 can detect or determine when a satellite is within the transmission range of the wireless communication device 510 and, in response, perform opportunistic interference mitigation.

[0087] For example, mitigating interference with radiation propagating to a satellite can protect the EESS and / or uplink FSS by utilizing the satellite receiver to reduce the amount of cumulative interference from ground-based deployments. For example, if the satellite provides Earth-to-space communication, the wireless communication device 510 can protect the satellite receiver from interference caused by transmissions from the wireless communication device 510.

[0088] Alternatively, mitigating interference with radiation propagating from the satellite to the earth station can be achieved by using the earth station to reduce the cumulative amount of interference from ground-based deployments, thereby protecting the downlink FSS. For example, if the satellite provides space-to-earth communication, the wireless communication device 510 can protect the earth station from interference caused by transmissions from the wireless communication device 510.

[0089] In some examples, wireless communication device 510 may belong to a set of wireless communication devices. This set of wireless communication devices may include network nodes, UEs, and / or similar devices, and may belong to a terrestrial 6G network. In some examples, this set of wireless communication devices may be a set of network nodes referred to as a "base station interference set." This set of wireless communication devices may include satellite-local (e.g., within the satellite's geographic area) wireless communication devices, and may therefore interfere with the satellite.

[0090] A set of wireless communication devices can be identified based on indications of a satellite's position (e.g., based on information related to the satellite's orbit). For example, this set of wireless communication devices may include those that would contribute more to interference with radiation propagating to or from the satellite without the mitigation techniques described herein. This set of wireless communication devices can be identified by any suitable device in or connected to a terrestrial 6G network.

[0091] Wireless communication device 510 can be combined with the set of wireless communication devices to mitigate interference. For example, at least some of the wireless communication devices in the set of wireless communication devices can implement one or more interference mitigation techniques. Combining the set of wireless communication devices to mitigate interference can reduce the interference accumulated by the set of wireless communication devices.

[0092] In some examples, the set of wireless communication devices can be dynamically updated, at least in part, based on the satellite's position. For instance, when a satellite changes its position within its orbit, the set of wireless communication devices can be updated to exclude wireless communication devices that are no longer included in the geographic area beneath the satellite, and to include wireless communication devices that are included in the geographic area beneath the satellite. This set of wireless communication devices can be dynamically updated by any suitable device in or connected to a terrestrial 6G network. Dynamically updating this set of wireless communication devices can help ensure the satellite is free from interference, while allowing wireless communication devices unlikely to interfere with the satellite to cease implementing interference mitigation techniques.

[0093] Wireless communication device 510 may use any suitable interference mitigation technique to reduce interference to or from radiation propagating to or from the satellite. Examples of suitable interference mitigation techniques may include stopping transmission, reducing transmit power, beamforming (e.g., beam nulling), etc. Wireless communication device 510 may dynamically adjust a given interference mitigation technique based on changes in the satellite's position (e.g., by resuming transmission, adjusting transmit power levels, adjusting beamforming configuration, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, wireless communication device 510 may dynamically switch between interference mitigation techniques based on changes in the satellite's position.

[0094] In some examples, the terrestrial network (e.g., wireless communication device 510) can determine which interference mitigation technique to use based on whether wireless communication device 510 and the satellite are operating in co-channel or non-co-channel (e.g., frequency adjacent) mode. In co-channel operation, both wireless communication device 510 and the satellite can operate to communicate via the same channel. Co-channel operation can involve partially overlapping frequencies (e.g., where the operating frequency of wireless communication device 510 partially overlaps with the operating frequency of the satellite) or completely overlapping frequencies (e.g., where the operating frequency of wireless communication device 510 completely overlaps with the operating frequency of the satellite).

[0095] In the case of partially overlapping frequencies, the wireless communication device 510 is operable to communicate via a first frequency range of the channel, and the satellite is operable to communicate via a second frequency range of the channel. The first frequency range (e.g., the entire transmission bandwidth of the wireless communication device 510) partially overlaps with the second frequency range in a third frequency range. For example, the third frequency range may be a portion of the first frequency range that overlaps with the second frequency range. Because the first frequency range partially overlaps with the second frequency range, another portion of the first frequency range may not overlap with the second frequency.

[0096] In some examples involving partially overlapping frequencies, wireless communication device 510 may cease transmission in a third frequency range or cease transmission in a first frequency range. For example, wireless communication device 510 may avoid transmission in one or more frequencies (e.g., the third frequency range) that overlap with satellite transmissions, or it may avoid transmission across the entire transmission bandwidth (e.g., the first frequency range). Ceasing transmission in the third frequency range or ceasing transmission in the first frequency range can help prevent transmissions from wireless communication device 510 in partially overlapping frequencies that might interfere with radiation propagating to or from the satellite.

[0097] In some examples involving partially overlapping frequencies, wireless communication device 510 may reduce the transmit power used for transmissions in a third frequency range, or reduce the transmit power used for transmissions in a first frequency range. For example, wireless communication device 510 may reduce the load on one or more frequencies (e.g., the third frequency range) that overlap with satellite transmissions, or reduce the load on the entire transmission bandwidth (e.g., the first frequency range). In the case of partially overlapping frequencies, reducing the transmit power used for transmissions in the third frequency range or reducing the transmit power used for transmissions in the first frequency range can help mitigate interference with radiation propagating to or from the satellite, while allowing wireless communication device 510 to continue outputting transmissions.

[0098] In the case of completely overlapping frequencies, the wireless communication device 510 is operable to communicate via a first frequency range of the channel, and the satellite is operable to communicate via a second frequency range of the channel. The first frequency range (e.g., the entire transmission bandwidth of the wireless communication device 510) completely overlaps with the second frequency range. For example, the entire transmission bandwidth of the wireless communication device 510 may be included in the second frequency range.

[0099] In some examples involving completely overlapping frequencies, wireless communication device 510 may stop transmissions in a first frequency range. For example, wireless communication device 510 may avoid transmissions in one or more frequencies (e.g., a third frequency range) that overlap with satellite transmissions. Stopping transmissions in the first frequency range can help prevent transmissions from wireless communication device 510 in the case of completely overlapping frequencies that might interfere with radiation propagating to or from the satellite.

[0100] In some examples involving completely overlapping frequencies, wireless communication device 510 may reduce the transmit power used for transmissions in the first frequency range. For example, wireless communication device 510 may reduce the load across the entire transmission bandwidth (e.g., the first frequency range). In the case of completely overlapping frequencies, reducing the transmit power used for transmissions in the first frequency range may help mitigate interference with radiation propagating to or from the satellite, while allowing wireless communication device 510 to continue outputting transmissions.

[0101] In non-co-channel operation, the wireless communication device 510 is operable to communicate via a first channel, and the satellite is operable to communicate via a second channel. For example, the wireless communication device 510 and the satellite may be operable to communicate via different channels.

[0102] In some examples involving non-co-channel operation, the wireless communication device 510 may halt transmission within the frequency range of the first channel. For example, the wireless communication device 510 may avoid transmission in all or part of its transmission bandwidth. Halting transmission within the frequency range of the first channel can increase the effective guard band between 6G transmission and satellite transmission, thereby reducing the amount of unwanted transmissions penetrating into the bandwidth of the satellite (e.g., satellite receiver).

[0103] In some examples involving co-channel operation (e.g., partially or completely overlapping frequencies) or non-co-channel operation, wireless communication device 510 can reduce radiation output from wireless communication device 510 within a configured angular range. This radiation may be a byproduct of beamforming transmissions output by wireless communication device 510. Wireless communication device 510 can reduce radiation output in the direction of satellites and / or one or more earth stations.

[0104] Wireless communication device 510 can use beamforming techniques to reduce radiation at specific angles or directions. For example, because adjacent channels can be associated with similar beam patterns, in an example of non-co-channel operation, wireless communication device 510 can perform beamforming based on the expected beam shape of the satellite receiver's bandwidth. Reducing radiation output from wireless communication device 510 within a configured angular range allows wireless communication device 520 to control the directionality of the radiation, thereby mitigating interference while enabling wireless communication device 510 to continue outputting transmissions.

[0105] Wireless communication device 510 can reduce radiation emitted from it within a configured angular range that includes angles above the horizon. For example, wireless communication device 510 can reduce radiation emitted at angles above the horizon. The horizon angle may be zero degrees (or within a threshold angle of zero degrees) relative to the Earth's surface at the location of wireless communication device 510. Reducing radiation emitted from wireless communication device 510 within a configured angular range that includes the horizon angle can reduce interference with radiation propagating to a satellite, which may be located above the horizon angle.
