[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 18 / 353,007 entitled “UPLINK TRANSMISSION ON SSB SYMBOLS” and filed on July 14, 2023, which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. BACKGROUND

[0003] The present disclosure relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly to wireless communications including sub-band full duplex resources.

[0004] 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. 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, and time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems.

[0005] These multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. One example of a telecommunication standard is 5G New Radio (NR). 5G NR is part of a continuous mobile broadband evolution promulgated by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to meet new requirements associated with SUMMARY

[0040] In some aspects, a network node, such as a base station or a component of a base station, can support SBFD communications. In some aspects, a base station can transmit and receive full duplex communications, and a UE can transmit or receive communications with the base station in a half duplex manner. In some aspects, the UE can also transmit and receive full duplex communications. SBFD communications can refer to communications including simultaneous transmission and reception in different subbands. Simultaneous transmission and reception can refer to transmission and reception that overlap at least partially in time. SBFD resources can refer to resources in a time period, including one or more subbands of transmission resources and one or more subbands of reception resources. Figure 6C and Figure 7AExamples of SBFD resources are illustrated. A base station can configure a pattern of time resources to include SBFD resources, e.g., including at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband. For example, a pattern of time resources can indicate a pattern of time resources designed for downlink (e.g., D), uplink (e.g., U), special (e.g., S), or SBFD (e.g., SBFD). In some aspects, the pattern can be part of a TDD pattern, e.g., a semi-static TDD pattern illustrating a pattern of uplink, downlink, flexible, special, and / or SBFD time resources. The time resources can correspond to slots, symbols, etc. The pattern can be configured to use for a period of time, e.g., which can be referred to as semi-static configuration. In some aspects, the pattern can be referred to as a semi-static SBFD subband time location configuration. Based on the pattern, a network node can allocate or schedule downlink communications in downlink time resources of the pattern, allocate or schedule uplink communications in uplink time resources of the pattern, allocate or schedule uplink or downlink communications in special time resources of the pattern, and allocate or schedule downlink and uplink communications in SBFD time resources of the pattern.

[0041] A base station can also transmit SSBs for various measurements at the UE, e.g., such as beam management, beam failure detection, radio link management, radio resource management, and cell selection, among other examples. In some aspects, resources allocated for uplink transmissions in an uplink subband of an SBFD resource can fall within a symbol that includes an SSB occasion. The uplink transmissions can impact SSB detection and measurements of other UEs, e.g., by causing interference. Skipping uplink transmissions reduces uplink transmission opportunities and can increase latency. Aspects presented herein enable a UE and network node to adjust uplink communications and / or SSB transmissions or measurements when an uplink transmission is to occur in an SSB symbol. An SSB symbol refers to a symbol that includes an SSB occasion. Aspects presented herein enable a UE and base station to determine when to skip uplink transmissions, adjust resources for uplink transmissions, or skip SSB measurements. In some aspects, the UE and base station can use a priority rule based on one or more factors to determine whether to prioritize uplink transmissions and / or SSBs. Aspects presented herein improve efficiency and accuracy of wireless communications by providing improved conditions that balance the potential for interference with latency provided by SBFD resources. Enabling a UE to transmit in an SSB symbol can improve uplink performance with additional uplink transmission opportunities. However, the uplink transmissions can cause interference to SSB detection and measurements in the SSB symbol.

[0042] In some aspects, uplink subbands can not be configured in SSB symbols. This can avoid interference caused by uplink transmissions in one subband by a first UE that interferes with SSB measurements in a downlink subband by a second UE. In some aspects, when an SSB occasion would overlap in time with an uplink transmission in an uplink subband, the SSB occasion can be dropped on the SBFD symbol. Dropping the SSB can avoid interference between the uplink transmission and the SSB, and can allow for reduced latency in uplink communications by enabling additional uplink time resources. In some aspects, a network node can ensure that SBFD operations do not occur in SSB symbols, e.g., even when the periodicity between SSBs and SBFD times is not aligned. In some aspects, a UE can not expect to receive or measure an SSB that would occur in a SBFD symbol. By avoiding SBFD operations in SSB symbols, cross-link interference to SSBs can be avoided or reduced.

[0043] In some aspects, a UL sub-band can be configured in a symbol that includes an SSB occasion, e.g., in an SSB symbol. In some aspects, a UE can not transmit an uplink transmission in an uplink sub-band in an SSB symbol, e.g., even when the UE is configured or allocated uplink resources. By skipping transmission, the UE can avoid interference that can cause to other UEs’ SSB reception. In some aspects, the UE can determine whether to drop transmission based on one or more conditions. As an example, if the UE is instructed to measure an SSB in one or more symbols, the UE can not transmit an uplink transmission in the one or more symbols that include the SSB. In some aspects, the UE can transmit an uplink transmission based on occurrence of one or more conditions. As an example, the condition can be that the UE is not instructed to measure an SSB, the UE is instructed to drop SSB measurement, or the UE is instructed to transmit in an SBFD resource, among other examples. In some aspects, additional conditions can help balance the interference reduction that can be provided by dropping uplink transmissions in SSB symbols with the latency reduction that can occur by using SBFD resources for uplink transmissions. In some aspects, when an uplink transmission in an SBFD resource occurs in an SSB symbol, the UE can receive an indication of a priority to be applied to the SSB and / or the uplink transmission. The indication can be in one or more of RRC configuration, medium access control-control element (MAC-CE), downlink control information (e.g., group common DCI (GC DCI), broadcast, or UE-specific DCI). The indication enables the network to have more flexibility in controlling potential interference and latency in communications by determining and indicating a priority between the SSB and the uplink transmission. In some aspects, the UE can use a priority rule to determine whether to prioritize the uplink transmission or the SSB. The priority rule can be based on any combination of: an SSB type of a respective SSB occasion of the one or more symbols, an uplink channel scheduling type of a respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a reference signal scheduling type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a measurement type of a measurement of the respective SSB of the one or more symbols, a cell type associated with the respective SSB of the one or more symbols, an uplink transmission type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a content type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a physical channel type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a quality of service (QoS) of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, or an indication from a network node. Consideration of the priority rule can help protect some SSB occasions from interference while allowing latency reduction in uplink communications in some cases. In some aspects, the UE can determine whether to transmit an uplink transmission based on a frequency separation between the SSB and the uplink transmission. Consideration of the frequency separation can help enable latency reduction in cases where transmission can cause less interference to the SSB.Separate consideration helps to balance interference reduction with latency reduction.

[0044] In some aspects, the SSB can overlap with the guard band and / or the uplink subband. In some aspects, the UE can adjust the guard band based on a location of the SSB to provide increased frequency separation between the SSB and the uplink transmission. The UE can then transmit the uplink transmission in the remaining resources after removing the increased subband resources. The adjustment of the guard band helps to protect the SSB from interference while still allowing for uplink transmissions in the SBFD resources, for example, which helps to reduce latency of the uplink transmission.

[0045] The detailed description set forth below, in connection with the appended drawings, is a description of various configurations and does not represent the only configurations in which the concepts described herein can be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring such concepts.

[0046] Several aspects of telecommunication systems are presented with reference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methods are described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented with electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0047] By way of example, an element, or any portion of an element, or any combination of elements can be implemented as a “processing system” that includes one or more processors. When implemented in a multi-processor system, the processors can execute functions singularly or in combination with each other. Examples of processors include microprocessors, microcontrollers, graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), application processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processors, systems on a chip (SoC), baseband processors, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), state machines, gated logic, discrete hardware circuits, and other suitable hardware configured to perform the various functionality described throughout this disclosure. One or more processors in the processing system can execute software. Software shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software components, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, functions, or any combination of any of the foregoing. Whether software is implemented as hardware or software depends on the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0048] Accordingly, in one or more example aspects, implementations, and / or use cases, the described features can be implemented in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software, the functions can be stored on or encoded as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable media includes computer storage media. Storage media can be any available media that can be accessed by a computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise a random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage, other magnetic storage devices, combinations of the aforementioned types of computer-readable media, or any other medium that can be used to store computer executable code in the form of instructions or data structures that can be accessed by a computer.

[0049] While aspects, implementations, and / or use cases are described in this application by illustration to some examples, those examples are not intended to limit the scope of aspects, implementations, and / or use cases. Numerous additional aspects, implementations, and / or use cases can be derived from examples that are disclosed in this application, with equivalence to each disclosed feature. It is intended that the method and system claims be interpreted to embrace all such permutations of examples. While various aspects, implementations and / or use cases can have been presented in terms of some examples, other implementations and / or use cases can be derived from the teachings provided by this application, with equivalence to each disclosed feature. It will be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise many

[0050] Deployment of communication systems, such as 5G NR systems, can be arranged in a variety of ways with various components or constituent parts. In a 5G NR system or network, a network node, network entity, mobility element of a network, radio access network (RAN) node, core network node, network element, or network equipment, such as a base station (BS) or one or more elements (or one or more components) performing base station functionality (such as a Node B (NB), an evolved NB (eNB), an NR BS, a 5G NB, an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), or a cell, among others) can be implemented in an aggregated or disaggregated architecture. For example, a BS, such as a node B (NB), an evolved NB (eNB), an NR BS, a 5G NB, an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), or a cell, among others, can be implemented as an aggregated base station (also referred to as a standalone BS or a monolithic BS) or a disaggregated base station.

[0051] An aggregated base station can be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node. A disaggregated base station can be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more elements, such as one or more central or centralized units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs). In some aspects, a CU can be implemented within a RAN node, and one or more DUs can be co-located with the CU or, alternatively, can be geographically or virtually distributed in one or more other RAN nodes. A DU can be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU, and RU can be implemented as a virtual element, a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU).

[0052] Base station operations or network designs can take into account the aggregated nature of base station functionality. For example, a disaggregated base station can be utilized in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (such as a network configuration initiated by the O-RAN Alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also referred to as a cloud radio access network (C-RAN)). Disaggregation can include distributing functionality across two or more elements at various physical locations, as well as virtually distributing functionality of at least one element, which can enable flexibility in network design. The various elements of a disaggregated base station or disaggregated RAN architecture can be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other element.

[0053] Figure 1is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communications system and an access network 101. The wireless communications system (also referred to as a wireless wide area network (WWAN)) includes base stations 102, UEs 104, an evolved packet core (e.g., EPC 160), and another core network 190 (e.g., 5G Core (5GC)). The base stations 102 can include macro cells (high power cellular base stations) and / or small cells (low power cellular base stations). The macro cells can include base stations. The small cells can include femtocells, picocells, and microcells.

[0054] The base stations 102 configured for 4G LTE (collectively referred to as the Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) can interface with the EPC 160 through first backhaul links 132 (e.g., S I interface). The base stations 102 configured for 5G NR (collectively referred to as the Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN)) can interface with the core network 190 through second backhaul links 184. In addition to other functions, the base stations 102 can perform one or more of the following functions: transfer of user data, radio channel encryption and decryption, integrity protection, header compression, mobility control functions (e.g., handover, dual connectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection setup and release, load balancing, distribution for small

[0055] In some aspects, a base station (e.g., one of the base stations 102 or one of the base stations 180) can be referred to as a RAN and can include an aggregated or disaggregated component. As an example of a disaggregated RAN, a base station can include a central unit (CU) (e.g., the CU 106), one or more distributed units (DUs) (e.g., the DUs 105), and / or one or more remote units (RUs) (e.g., the RUs 109), as described in FIG. 1. Figure 1The RAN can be disaggregated with a split between the CU 106 and the aggregated DU / RU. The CU 106 and one or more DUs can be connected via an Fl interface. The DUs 105 and the RUs 109 can be connected via a fronthaul interface. The connection between the CU 106 and the DUs 105 can be referred to as midhaul, and the connection between the DUs 105 and the RUs 109 can be referred to as fronthaul. The connection between the CU 106 and the core network 190 can be referred to as backhaul.

[0056] The RAN can be disaggregated based on a functional split between various components of the RAN, e.g., between the CU 106, the DUs 105, or the RUs 109. The CU 106 can be configured to perform one or more aspects of a wireless communication protocol, e.g., handle one or more layers of a protocol stack, and one or more DUs can be configured to handle other aspects of the wireless communication protocol, e.g., other layers of the protocol stack. The split between the layers handled by the CU and the layers handled by the DUs can occur at different layers of the protocol stack in different implementations. As one non-limiting example, the DUs 105 can provide logical nodes for hosting at least a portion of a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and a physical (PHY) layer based on the functional split. The RUs can provide logical nodes configured to host at least a portion of the PHY layer and radio frequency (RF) processing. The CU 106 can host higher layer functions above the RLC layer, such as a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, and / or upper layers, for example. The split between layer functions provided by the CU, the DUs, or the RUs can be different in other implementations.

[0057] The base stations 102 can wirelessly communicate with the UEs 104. Each of the base stations 102 can provide communication coverage for a respective geographic coverage area 110. There can be overlapping geographic coverage areas. For example, a small cell 103 can have a coverage area 111 that overlaps with one or more geographic coverage areas 110 of one or more macro base stations, such as base station 102. A network that includes both small cell and macro cells can be known as a heterogeneous network. A heterogeneous network can also include Home Evolved Node Bs (eNBs) (HeNBs), which can provide service to a restricted group known as a closed subscriber group (CSG). The communication links 120 between the base stations 102 and the UEs 104 can include uplink (UL) transmissions from a UE to a base station and / or downlink (DL) transmissions, from a base station to a UE. The communication links 120 can use multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and / or transmit diversity. The communication links can be through one or more carriers, and can be distributed over a system bandwidth that is larger than 20 MHz. For example, each communication link 120 can be a multi-carrier link distributed across multiple sub-bands. The base stations 102 / UEs 104 can use spectrum up to 7 MHz, 1 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 100 MHz, 400 MHz, etc., and / or across multiple discrete bands. The base stations 102 / UEs 104 can use

[0058] Certain UEs can communicate with each other using device-to-device (D2D) communication links, such as D2D communication link 158. The D2D communication link 158 can use DL / UL WWAN spectrum. The D2D communication link 158 can use one or more sidelink channels, such as a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH), a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). D2D communication can be through a variety of wireless D2D communications systems, such as for example, WiMedia, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards, LTE, or NR.

[0059] The wireless communications system can also include a Wi-Fi access point (AP) (such as AP 150) in communication with Wi-Fi stations (STAs), such as STAs 152 via communication links 154, for example, in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum or the like. When communicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the STAs 152 / AP 150 can perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating in order to determine whether the channel is available for use.

[0060] The small cells 103 can operate in a licensed and / or an unlicensed frequency spectrum. When operating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the small cells 103 can employ NR and use the same unlicensed frequency spectrum as used by the Wi-Fi AP 150 (e.g., 5 GHz, etc.). The small cells 103 employing NR in an unlicensed frequency spectrum can increase coverage and / or capacity of the access network.

[0061] The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdivided based on frequency / wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, and so forth. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz to 7. 125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. With regard to FR2, a similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz to 300 GHz) which is designated as a “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

[0062] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified operating bands for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7. 125 GHz to 24.25 GHz). Bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 characteristics and / or FR2 characteristics, and thus can effectively extend features of FR1 and / or FR2 to mid-band frequencies. Moreover, even higher bands are currently under exploration to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR2-2 (52.6 GHz to 71 GHz), FR4 (71 GHz to 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz to 300 GHz). Each of these higher bands fall within the EHF band.

[0063] With the above in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, if a term "Sub-6 GHz" or the like is used herein, it can broadly represent frequencies that can be less than 6 GHz, can be within FR1, or can include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, if a term "millimeter wave" or the like is used herein, it can broadly represent frequencies that can include mid-band frequencies, can be within FR2, FR4, FR2-2, and / or FR5, or can be within an EHF band.

[0064] A base station, whether a small cell 103 or a large cell (e.g., macro base station), can include and / or be referred to as an eNB, gNodeB (gNB), or another type of base station. Some base stations (such as gNBs) can operate in a traditional sub-6 GHz spectrum, in millimeter wave frequencies, and / or near millimeter wave frequencies in communication with UEs 104. When a gNB operates in millimeter wave frequencies or near millimeter wave frequencies, the base station 180 can be referred to as a millimeter wave base station. Millimeter wave base stations can utilize beamforming 181 with a UE 104 to compensate for the path loss and short range. The base station 180 and the UE 104 can each include a plurality of antennas, such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and / or antenna arrays to facilitate beamforming.

[0065] The base station 180 can transmit a beamformed signal to the UE 104 in one or more transmit directions 182. The UE 104 can receive the beamformed signal from the base station 180 in one or more receive directions 183. The UE 104 can also transmit a beamformed signal to the base station 180 in one or more transmit directions. The base station 180 can receive the beamformed signal from the UE 104 in one or more receive directions. The base station 180 / UE 104 can perform beam training to determine the best receive and transmit directions for each of the base station 180 / UE 104. The transmit and receive directions of the base station 180 can or can not be the same. The transmit and receive directions of the UE 104 can or can not be the same.

[0066] The EPC 160 can include a mobility management entity (e.g., MME 162), other MMEs 164, a serving gateway 166, a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) gateway 168, a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC) 170, and a packet data network (PDN) gateway (e.g., PDN gateway 172). The MME 162 can be in communication with a home subscriber server (HSS) (e.g., HSS 174). The MME 162 is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 and the EPC 160. Generally, the MME 162 provides bearer and connection management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferred through the serving gateway 166, which itself is connected to the PDN gateway 172. The PDN gateway 172 provides UE IP address allocation as well as other functions. The PDN gateway 172 and the BM-SC 170 are connected to the IP services 176. The IP services 176 can include the Internet, an intranet, an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), a PS streaming service, and / or other IP services. The BM-SC 170 can provide functions for MBMS user service provisioning and

[0067] The core network 190 can include an access and mobility management function (AMF) (e.g., AMF 192), other AMFs 193, a session management function (SMF) 194, and a user plane function (UPF) (e.g., UPF 195). The AMF 192 can be in communication with a unified data management (UDM) 196. The AMF 192 is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 and the core network 190. Generally, the AMF 192 provides QoS flow and session management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferred

[0068] The base stations 102 can include and / or be referred to as gNBs, NodeBs, eNBs, access points, transceiver base stations, radio base stations, radio transceivers, transceiver functions, basic service sets (BSSs), extended service sets (ESSs), transmit reception points (TRPs), network nodes, network entities, network equipment, or some other suitable terminology. The base stations 102 can be implemented as integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, relay nodes, sidelink nodes, aggregated (monolithic) base stations with baseband units (BBUs) including CUs and DUs and RUs, or as disaggregated base stations including one or more of CUs, DUs, and / or RUs. A set of base stations that can include disaggregated and / or aggregated base stations can be referred to as a next generation (NG) RAN (NG-RAN). The base stations 102 provide wireless communication coverage for UEs 104 that access the EPC 160 or core network 190.

[0069] Examples of UEs include a cellular phone, a smart phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a satellite radio, a global positioning system, a multimedia device, a video device, a digital audio player (e.g., MP3 player), a camera, a game console, a tablet, a smart device, a wearable device, a vehicle, an electric meter, a gas pump, a large or small kitchen appliance, a healthcare device, an implant, a sensor / actuator, a display, or any other similar functional device. Some of the UEs can be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking meter, gas pump, toaster, vehicle, heart monitor, etc.). The UE can also be referred to as a station, a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communications device, a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobile client, a client, or some other suitable terminology. In some scenarios, the term UE can also apply to one or more accessory devices such as in a device constellation arrangement. One or more of these devices can collectively or individually access a network.

[0070] Referring again to Figure 1In certain aspects, a device in communication with a network entity, such as one of the UEs 104 in communication with one of the base stations 102 or a component of the base station (e.g., the CU 106, the DU 105, and / or the RU 109), can support awareness of SBFD operation and / or SBFD configuration of resources at the network node. For example, one of the UEs 104 can have a SBFD component 198 that can be configured to receive a pattern of time resources including a first set of time resources and a second set of time resources that do not overlap in the time domain with the first set of time resources, each time resource of the first set of time resources configured with a SBFD configuration, and each time resource of the second set of time resources configured with a non-SBFD configuration; receive a SSB configuration including one or more periodic SSB occasions; and adjust at least one of SSB measurements or uplink transmissions in one or more symbols, the one or more symbols including an SSB occasion of the one or more periodic SSB occasions that overlaps with a time resource of the first set of time resources.

[0071] In another configuration, a network entity, such as one of the base stations 102 or a component of the base station (e.g., the CU 106, the DU 105, and / or the RU 109), can support SBFD communication in some resources. For example, one of the base stations 102 can have a SBFD component 199 that can be configured to configure a pattern of time resources including a first set of time resources and a second set of time resources that do not overlap in the time domain with the first set of time resources, each time resource of the first set of time resources configured with a SBFD configuration, and each time resource of the second set of time resources configured with a non-SBFD configuration; provide a SSB configuration including one or more periodic SSB occasions; and adjust SSB operation or SBFD operation in one or more symbols, the one or more symbols including an SSB occasion that overlaps with reception of uplink transmissions of the first set of time resources.

[0072] Figure 2is a diagram 200 illustrating examples of wireless communication systems and access networks. The illustrated wireless communication systems include a disaggregated base station architecture. The disaggregated base station architecture can include one or more CUs 210 that can communicate directly with a core network 220 via a backhaul link, or indirectly with the core network 220 through one or more disaggregated base station units, such as a near-real-time (near-RT) RAN intelligent controller (RIC) 225 via an E2 link, or a non-real-time (non-RT) RIC 215 associated with a service management and orchestration (SMO) framework 205, or both. The CUs 210 can communicate with one or more DUs 230 via respective midhaul links, such as Fl interfaces. The DUs 230 can communicate with one or more RUs 240 via respective front-haul links. The RUs 240 can communicate with respective UEs 204 via one or more radio frequency (RF) access links. In some implementations, a UE 204 can be served by multiple RUs 240 simultaneously.

[0073] Each of the units (i.e., the CUs 210, the DUs 230, the RUs 240, and the near-RT RIC 225, the non-RT RIC 215, and the SMO framework 205) can 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 the communication interfaces of these units can be configured to communicate with one or more of the other units via the transmission medium. For example, the units can include wired interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals to one or more of the other units over a wired transmission medium. Additionally, the units can include wireless interfaces that can include receivers, transmitters, or transceivers (such as RF transceivers) configured to receive and / or transmit signals to one or more of the other units over a wireless transmission medium.

[0074] In some aspects, the CU 210 can host one or more higher layer control functions. Such control functions can include radio resource control (RRC), packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), and / or the like. Each control function can be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other control functions hosted by the CU 210. The CU 210 can be configured to handle user plane functionality (i.e., central unit-user plane (CU-UP)), control plane functionality (i.e., central unit-control plane (CU-CP)), or a combination thereof. In some implementations, the CU 210 can be logically split into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. When implemented in an O-RAN configuration, the CU-UP units can communicate bi-directionally with the CU-CP units via an interface, such as an El interface. The CU 210 can be implemented to communicate with the DUs 230 as needed for network control and signal transfer.

[0075] The DU 230 can correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions for controlling the operation of one or more RUs 240. In some aspects, the DU 230 can host one or more of a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers (such as modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation and demodulation, and / or the like) in accordance with a functional split, such as those defined by 3GPP. In some aspects, the DU 230 can also host one or more low PHY layers. Each layer (or module) can be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 230 or with control functions hosted by the CU 210.

[0076] The lower layer functionality can be implemented by one or more RUs 240. In some deployments, the RUs 240 controlled by the DU 230 can correspond to logical nodes that host RF processing functions or low PHY layer functions (such as performing fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, and / or the like) or both based at least in part on a functional split, such as a lower layer functional split. In such an architecture, the RUs 240 can be implemented to handle over-the-air (OTA) communications with one or more UEs 204. In some implementations, real-time and non-real-time aspects of control plane and user plane communications with the RUs 240 can be controlled by the corresponding DU 230. In some scenarios, this configuration can enable the DUs 230 and the CUs 210 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture.

[0077] The SMO framework 205 can be configured to support RAN deployment and orchestration of non-virtualized network elements and virtualized network elements. For non- virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 205 can be configured to support deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which can be managed via an operations and maintenance interface, such as an Ol interface. For virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 205 can be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform, such as Open Cloud (O-Cloud) 290, to perform network element lifecycle management, such as to instantiate virtualized network elements, via a cloud computing platform interface, such as an 02 interface. Such virtualized network elements can include, but are not limited to, CUs 210, DUs 230, RUs 240, and near-RT RICs 225. In some implementations, the SMO framework 205 can communicate with hardware aspects of a 4G RAN, such as Open eNB (O-eNB) 211, via an Ol interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO framework 205 can communicate directly with one or more RUs 240 via an Ol interface. The SMO framework 205 can also include a non-RT RIC 215 configured to support functionality of the SMO framework 205.

[0078] The non-RT RIC 215 can be configured to include logical functions that enable near real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) (AI / ML) workflows including model training and update, or policy-based steering of applications / features in the near-RT RIC 225. The non-RT RIC 215 can be coupled to or in communication with the near-RT RIC 225, such as via an Al interface. The near-RT RIC 225 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 through an interface, such as via an E2 interface, that connects one or more CUs 210, one or more DUs 230, or both, and an O-eNB with the near-RT RIC 225.

[0079] In some implementations, to generate AI / ML models to be deployed in the near-RT RIC 225, the non-RT RIC 215 can receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server. Such information can be utilized by the near-RT RIC 225 and can be received at the SMO framework 205 or the non-RT RIC 215 from non-network data sources or from network functions. In some examples, the non-RT RIC 215 or the near-RT RIC 225 can be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the non-RT RIC 215 can monitor long-term trends and patterns of performance and employ AI / ML models to perform corrective actions through the SMO framework 205, such as via reconfiguration of Ol, or via creation of RAN management policies, such as Al policies.

[0080] At least one of the CU 210, the DU 230, and the RU 240 can be referred to as a base station 202. Thus, the base station 202 can include one or more of the CU 210, the DU 230, and the RU 240, each component indicated in dashed lines to represent that each component can or can not be included in the base station 202. The base station 202 provides wireless access to the core network 220 for UEs 204. The base station 202 can include macro cells (high power cellular base stations) and / or small cells (low power cellular base stations). Small cells include femto cells, pico cells, and micro cells. Networks that include both small cells and macro cells can be referred to as heterogeneous networks. A heterogeneous network also can include home evolved node Bs (eNBs) (HeNBs), which can provide service to a restricted group known as a closed subscriber group (CSG). The communication links between the RUs 240 and the UEs 204 can include uplink (UL) (also referred to as reverse link) transmissions from a UE 204 to a RU 240 and / or downlink (DL) (also referred to as forward link) transmissions from a RU 240 to a UE 204. The communication links can use multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and / or transmit diversity. The communication links can be through one or more carriers, where each carrier can be a band of frequencies. For example, each carrier can be 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz, 100MHz, 400MHz, etc. The base station 202 / UE 204 can use spectrum up to Y MHz (e.g., 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz, 100MHz, 400MHz, etc.) of bandwidth per carrier used for transmission. The carriers can or can not be adjacent to each other. The allocation of carriers can be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL (e.g., more or less carriers can be allocated for DL than for UL). The component carriers can include a primary component carrier and one or more secondary component carriers.

[0081] Certain UEs 204 can communicate with each other using device-to-device (D2D) communication link 258, for example, as described in reference to FIG. 1. D2D communication can be through a direct physical link between UEs 204, for example, using one or more sidelink channels, such as a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH), and / or a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH). The D2D communication can use the same mmWave spectrum as the communication between the base station 202 and the UE 204. The D2D communication link 258 can carry traffic between UEs 204 in proximity (e.g., UEs 204 in the same cell, UEs 204 in different cells, etc.). Figure 1Described.

[0082] The wireless communications system can also include a Wi-Fi AP 250 in communication with UEs 204 (also referred to as Wi-Fi stations (STAs)) via communication links 254, e.g., in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum or the like. When communicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the UEs 204 / AP 250 can perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating in order to determine whether the channel is available.

[0083] The base stations 202 and UEs 204 can each include multiple antennas (such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and / or antenna arrays) to facilitate beamforming. The base stations 202 can transmit to UEs 204 in one or more transmit directions 282. The UEs 204 can transmit to the base stations 202 in one or more transmit directions 284. The base stations 202 / UEs 204 can perform beam training to determine the best receive and transmit directions for each of the base stations 202 / UEs 204. The transmit and receive directions for the base stations 202 can or can not be the same. The transmit and receive directions for the UEs 204 can or can not be the same.

[0084] The base stations 202 can include and / or be referred to as a gNB, NodeB, eNB, an access point, a transceiver base station, a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a transceiver function, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a TRP, a network node, a network entity, a network equipment, or some other suitable terminology. The base station 202 can be implemented as an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, a sidelink node, an aggregated (monolithic) base station with a baseband unit (BBU) (including a CU and a DU) and a RU, or as a disaggregated base station including one or more of a CU, a DU, and / or a RU. A set of base stations that can include disaggregated base stations and / or aggregated base stations can be referred to as a next generation (NG) RAN (NG-RAN).

[0085] The core network 220 can include an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) 261, a Session Management Function (SMF) 262, a User Plane Function (UPF) 263, a Unified Data Management (UDM) 264, one or more Location Servers 268, and other function entities. The AMF 261 is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 204 and the core network 220. The AMF 261 supports registration management, connection management, mobility management, and other functions. The SMF 262 supports session management and other functions. The UPF 263 supports packet routing, packet forwarding, and other functions. The UDM 264 supports generation of authentication and key agreement (AKA) credentials, user identification handling, access authorization, and subscription management. The one or more Location Servers 268 are illustrated as including a Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) 265 and a Location Management Function (LMF) 266. However, generally, the one or more Location Servers 268 can include one or more location / determination servers, which can include one or more of a GMLC 265, an LMF 266, a Position Determining Entity (PDE), a Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC), a Mobile Positioning Center (MPC), and the like. The GMLC 265 and the LMF 266 support UE location services. The GMLC 265 provides an interface for clients / applications (e.g., emergency services) to access UE positioning information. The LMF 266 receives measurements and assistance information from the NG-RAN and the UE 204 via the AMF 261 to compute a position of the UE 204. The NG-RAN can utilize one or more positioning methods to determine the position of the UE 204. Positioning the UE 204 can involve signal measurements, position estimation, and optional rate calculations based on these measurements. The signal measurements can be made by the UE 204 and / or the base stations 202 serving the UE 204. The measured signals can be based on one or more of a Satellite Positioning System (SPS) 270 (e.g., Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Global Positioning System (GPS), Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), or other satellite positioning / location system), LTE signals, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) signals, Bluetooth signals, Terrestrial Beacon System (TBS), sensor-based information (e.g., barometric pressure sensors, motion sensors), NR Enhanced Cell ID (NR E-CID) methods, NR signals (e.g., multi-round trip time (multi-RTT), DL angle of departure (DL-AoD), DL time difference of arrival (DL-TDOA), UL time difference of arrival (UL-TDOA), and UL angle of arrival (UL-AoA) positioning), and / or other systems / signals / sensors.

[0086] Examples of a UE 204 include a cellular phone, a smart phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a satellite radio, a global positioning system, a multimedia device, a video device, a digital audio player (e.g., MP3 player), a camera, a game console, a tablet, a smart device, a wearable device, a vehicle, an electric meter, a gas pump, a large or small kitchen appliance, a healthcare device, an implant, a sensor / actuator, a display, or any other similar functional device. Some of the UEs 204 can be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking meter, gas pump, toaster, vehicle, heart monitor, etc.). The UE 204 can also be referred to as a station, a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communications device, a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobile client, a client, or some other suitable terminology. In some scenarios, the term UE can also apply to one or more accessory devices such as in a device constellation arrangement. One or more of these devices can collectively or individually access a network.

[0087] Referring again to Figure 2 In some aspects, the UE 204 can have components 198 that can be configured to perform the various aspects described with regard to Figure 1 and / or Figure 15 In some aspects, the base station 202 can have components 199 that can be configured to perform the various aspects described with regard to Figure 1 and / or Figure 17 In some aspects, the base station 202 can have components 199 that can be configured to perform the various aspects described with regard to

[0088] Figure 3A FIG. 301 is a diagram 301 illustrating an example of a first subframe in a 5G NR frame structure. Figure 3B FIG. 330 is a diagram 330 illustrating an example of DL channels in a 5G NR subframe. Figure 3C FIG. 350 is a diagram 350 illustrating an example of a second subframe in a 5G NR frame structure. Figure 3D FIG. 380 is a diagram 380 illustrating an example of UL channels in a 5G NR subframe. The 5G NR frame structure can be frequency division duplex (FDD) in which Figure 3A , Figure 3CIn the examples provided, a 5G NR frame structure is assumed to be TDD with subframe 4 configured with slot format 28 (most of which is DL) where D is DL, U is UL, and F is flexible to use between DL / UL, and subframe 3 configured with slot format 1 (all of which is UL). While subframes 3, 4 are shown with slot formats 1, 28, respectively, any particular subframe can be configured with any of the various available slot formats 0-61. Slot formats 0, 1 are all DL, UL, respectively. Other slot formats 2-61 include a mix of DL, UL, and flexible symbols. UEs are configured with the slot format by receiving a slot format indicator (SFI) (dynamically by DL control information (DCI) or semi-statically / statically by radio resource control (RRC) signaling). Note that the following description also applies to 5G NR frame structures that are TDD.

[0089] Figures 3A-3D A frame structure is illustrated, and aspects of the present disclosure can be applicable to other wireless communication technologies that can have different frame structures and / or different channels. One frame (10 ms) can be divided into 10 equal sized subframes (1 ms). Each subframe can include one or more slots. A subframe can also include mini-slots, which can contain 7, 4, or 2 symbols. Each slot can contain 14 or 12 symbols depending on whether a cyclic prefix (CP) is normal or extended. For a normal CP, each slot can contain 14 symbols, and for an extended CP, each slot can contain 12 symbols. Symbols on the DL can be CP orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) symbols. Symbols on the UL can be CP-OFDM symbols (for high throughput scenarios) or discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbols (for power limited scenarios; limited to single stream transmission). The number of slots within a subframe is based on the CP and the numerology. The numerology defines the subcarrier spacing (SCS) (see TABLE 1). The symbol length / duration scales with 1 / SCS.

[0090]

[0091] TABLE 1: Numerology, SCS, and CP

[0092] For a normal CP (14 symbols / slot), different numerologies µ 0 to 4 allow 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 slots per subframe, respectively. For an extended CP, numerology 2 allows 4 slots per subframe. Thus, for a normal CP and numerology µ, there are 14 symbols / slot and 2 µ slots / subframe. The subcarrier spacing can be equal to where The numerologies are parameter sets 0 through 4. Thus, the subcarrier spacing for parameter set µ = 0 is 15 kHz, and the subcarrier spacing for parameter set µ = 4 is 240 kHz. The symbol length / duration is inversely related to the subcarrier spacing. Figures 3A-3D An example of normal CP with 14 symbols per slot and parameter set µ = 2 with 4 slots per subframe is provided. The slot duration is 0.25 ms, the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz, and the symbol duration is approximately 16.67 μβ. Within a frame set, there can be one or more different bandwidth parts (BWPs) that are frequency division multiplexed (see Figure 3B ). Each BWP can have a particular numerology and CP (normal or extended).

[0093] A resource grid can be used to represent the frame structure. Each time slot includes a resource block (RB) (also referred to as a physical RB (PRB)) that extends 12 consecutive subcarriers. The resource grid is divided into multiple resource elements (REs). The number of bits carried by each RE depends on the modulation scheme.

[0094] As illustrated in Figure 3A Some of the REs carry reference (pilot) signals (RS) for the UE. The RS can include demodulation RS (DM-RS) (indicated as R for one particular configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) and channel state information RS (CSI-RS) for channel estimation at the UE. The RS can also include beam measurement RS (BRS), beam refinement RS (BRRS), and phase tracking RS (PT-RS).

[0095] Figure 3BExamples of various DL channels are illustrated. The physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carries DCI within one or more control channel elements (CCEs) (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 CCEs), each CCE including six RE groups (REGs), each REG including 12 consecutive REs in an OFDM symbol of an RB. A PDCCH within one BWP can be referred to as a control resource set (CORESET). A UE is configured to monitor PDCCH search space (e.g., common search space, UE-specific search space) for PDCCH candidates during PDCCH monitoring occasions on the CORESET, where the PDCCH candidates have different DCI formats and different aggregation levels. Additional BWPs can be located at higher and / or lower frequencies of the channel bandwidth. A primary synchronization signal (PSS) can be within symbol 2 of particular subframes of a frame. The PSS is used by a UE 204 to determine subframe / symbol timing and a physical layer identity. A secondary synchronization signal (SSS) can be within symbol 4 of particular subframes of a frame. The SSS is used by a UE to determine a physical layer cell identity group number and radio frame timing. Based on the physical layer identity and the physical layer cell identity group number, the UE can determine a physical cell identifier (PCI). Based on the PCI, the UE can determine the locations of DM-RS. The physical broadcast channel (PBCH), which carries a master information block (MIB), can be logically grouped with the PSS and SSS to form a synchronization signal (SS) / PBCH block (also referred to as SS block (SSB)). The MIB provides a number of RBs in the system bandwidth and a system frame number (SFN). The physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) carries user data, broadcast system information (such as system information blocks (SIBs)), and paging messages.

[0096] As Figure 3C illustrated, some of the REs carry DM-RS (indicated as R for one particular configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) for channel estimation at the base station. The UE can transmit DM-RS for the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and DM-RS for the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The PUSCH DM-RS can be transmitted in the first one or two symbols of a slot. The PUCCH DM-RS can be transmitted in different configurations depending on whether short or long PUCCHs are transmitted and depending on the particular PUCCH format used. The UE can transmit sounding reference signals (SRS). The SRS can be transmitted in the last symbol of a slot. The SRS can have a comb-2 structure, and a UE can transmit SRS on one of the combs. The SRS can be used by a base station for channel quality estimation to enable frequency-dependent scheduling for the UL.

[0097] Figure 3DExamples of various UL channels within a subframe are illustrated. The PUCCH can be located as indicated in one configuration. The PUCCH carries uplink control information (UCI), such as scheduling requests, channel quality indicator (CQI), precoding matrix indicators (PMI), rank indicators (RI), and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) feedback (i.e., one or more HARQ ACK bits indicating one or more ACKs and / or negative ACKs (NACKs)). The PUSCH carries data, and can additionally be used to carry buffer status reports (BSR), power headroom reports (PHR), and / or UCI.

[0098] Figure 4 FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a base station 410 in communication with a UE 450 in an access network. In the DL, Internet Protocol (IP) packets from the core network can be provided to a controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality. Layer 3 includes a radio resource control (RRC) layer, and layer 2 includes a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and a medium access control (MAC) layer. The controller / processor 475 provides RRC layer functionality associated with broadcasting of system information (e.g., MIB, SIBs), RRC connection control (e.g., RRC connection paging, RRC connection establishment, RRC connection modification, and RRC connection release), inter radio access technology (RAT) mobility, and measurement configuration and reporting for UEs 450; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression / decompression, security (ciphering, deciphering, integrity protection, integrity verification), and handover support functions; RLC layer functionality associated with the transfer of upper layer packet data units (PDUs), error detection on the ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs), re-segmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionality associated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto transport blocks (TBs), demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction through HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel prioritization.

[0099] The transmit (TX) processor 416 and the receive (RX) processor 470 implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signal processing functions. Layer 1, which includes a physical (PHY) layer, can include error detection on the transport channels, forward error correction (FEC) coding / decoding of the transport channels, interleaving, rate matching, mapping to physical channels, modulation / demodulation of physical channels, and MIMO antenna processing. The TX processor 416 handles mapping to signal constellations based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), M-phase-shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The coded and modulated symbols can then be split into parallel streams. Each stream can then be mapped to an OFDM subcarrier, multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., pilot) in the time and / or frequency domain, and then combined together using an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to produce a physical channel carrying a time domain OFDM symbol stream. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded to produce multiple spatial streams if multiple spatial streams are used. Channel estimates from a channel estimator 474 can be used to determine the beamforming

[0100] At the UE 450, each receiver 454Rx receives a signal through its respective antenna 452. Each receiver 454Rx recovers information modulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to the receive (RX) processor 456. The TX processor 468 and the RX processor 456 implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signal processing functions. The RX processor 456 can perform spatial processing on the information to recover any spatial streams destined for the UE 450. If multiple spatial streams are destined for the UE 450, they can be combined by the RX processor 456 into a single OFDM symbol stream. The RX processor 456 then converts the OFDM symbol stream from the time-domain to the frequency domain using a fast Fourier transform (FFT). The frequency domain signal comprises a separate OFDM symbol stream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols on each subcarrier, and the reference signal, are recovered and demodulated by determining the most likely signal constellation points transmitted by the base station 410. These soft decisions can be based on channel estimates computed by the channel estimator 458. The soft decisions are then decoded and deinterleaved to recover the data and control signals that were originally transmitted by the base station 410 on the physical channel. The data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459, which implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality.

[0101] The controller / processor 459 can be associated with a memory 460 that stores program codes and data. The memory 460 can be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller / processor 459 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, deciphering, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover IP packets from the core network. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for error detection using an ACK and / or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.

[0102] Similar to the functionality described in connection with the DL transmission by the base station 410, the controller / processor 459 provides RRC layer functionality associated with system information (e.g., MIB, SIBs) acquisition, RRC connections, and measurement reporting; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression / decompression, and security (ciphering, deciphering, integrity protection, integrity verification); RLC layer functionality associated with the transfer of upper layer PDUs, error correction using ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs, re-segmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionality associated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto TBs, demultiplexing of MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction using HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel prioritization.

[0103] The TX processor 468 can use channel estimates derived by the channel estimator 458 from a reference signal or feedback transmitted by the base station 410 to select an appropriate coding and modulation scheme to use for the spatial streams. The spatial streams generated by the TX processor 468 can be provided to different antenna 452 via separate transmitters 454 Tx. Each transmitter 454 Tx can modulate its respective spatial stream onto a RF carrier for transmission.

[0104] The UL transmission is processed at the base station 410 in a manner similar to that described in connection with the receiver function at the UE 450. Each receiver 418Rx receives a signal through its respective antenna 420. Each receiver 418Rx recovers information modulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to a RX processor 470.

[0105] The controller / processor 475 can be associated with a memory 476 that stores program codes and data. The memory 476 can be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller / processor 475 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, deciphering, header decompression, control signal processing to recover IP packets from the core network. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for error detection using an ACK and / or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.

[0106] At least one of the TX processor 468, the RX processor 456, and the controller / processor 459 can be configured to perform aspects in connection with the SBFD component 198 of FIG. 2. Figure 1 and / or Figure 2 of FIG. 2.

[0107] At least one of the TX processor 416, the RX processor 470, and the controller / processor 475 can be configured to perform aspects in connection with the SBFD component 199 of FIG. 2. Figure 1 and / or Figure 2 of FIG. 2.

[0108] A wireless communication system can be configured to share available system resources and provide various telecommunication services (e.g., telephony, video, data, messaging, broadcasts, etc.) based on multiple access technologies that support communications with multiple users. Full duplex operation, in which wireless devices exchange uplink and downlink communications that overlap in time, can enable more efficient use of wireless spectrum. Full duplex operation can include simultaneous transmission and reception within the same frequency range. In some examples, the frequency range can be a mmW frequency range, such as frequency range 2 (FR2). In some examples, the frequency range can be a sub-6 GHz frequency range, such as frequency range 1 (FR1). Full duplex communication can reduce latency. As one example, full duplex operation can enable a base station to transmit downlink signals in an uplink-only time slot, which can reduce latency for downlink communications. Full duplex communication can improve spectral efficiency, such as spectral efficiency per cell or per UE. Full duplex communication can enable more efficient use of wireless resources. A wireless communication system can support full duplex communication and can also support communications with devices that do not support full duplex communication. A wireless communication system can include aspects to support coexistence, such as in co-channel and adjacent channels.

[0109] Figure 5A , Figure 5B , Figure 5C and Figure 5DVarious modes of full-duplex communication are illustrated. Full-duplex communication supports transmitting and receiving information on the same frequency band in a manner that overlaps in time. In this manner, spectral efficiency can be improved relative to that of half-duplex communication, which supports transmitting or receiving information in one direction at a time without overlapping uplink and downlink communications. Due to the simultaneous Tx / Rx nature of full-duplex communication, a UE or base station can experience self-interference caused by signal leakage from its local transmitter to its local receiver and / or be subjected to spurs as reflections of transmitted signals (e.g., due to reflections off physical objects) from other devices, such as a second UE or a second base station. Such interference (e.g., self-interference or interference caused by other devices) can impact the quality of communication, or even cause information loss.

[0110] Figure 5A A first example 500 of full-duplex communication is shown, in which a first base station 502a is in full-duplex communication with a first UE 504a and a second UE 506a. The first UE 504a and the second UE 506a can be configured for half-duplex communication or full-duplex communication. Figure 5A The first UE 504a is illustrated as performing downlink reception, and the second UE 506a is illustrated as performing uplink transmission. The second UE 506a can transmit a first uplink signal to the first base station 502a as well as other base stations, such as a second base station 508a that is proximate to the second UE 506a. The first base station 502a transmits a downlink signal to the first UE 504a concurrently (e.g., at least partially overlapping in time) with receiving an uplink signal from the second UE 506a. The base station 502a can experience self-interference at its receive antennas where it is receiving the uplink signal from the UE 506a due to receiving at least a portion of the downlink signal transmitted to the UE 504a. The base station 502a can experience additional interference due to signals from the second base station 508a. Interference can also occur at the first UE 504a based on signals from the second base station 508a as well as the uplink signal from the second UE 506a.

[0111] Figure 5BA second example 510 of full-duplex communication is shown, in which a first base station 502b is in full-duplex communication with a first UE 504b. In this example, the UE 504b is also operating in full-duplex mode. The first base station 502b and the UE 504b receive and transmit communications that overlap in time and in the same frequency band. The base station and the UE can each experience self-interference because signals transmitted from the device leak to the receiver at the same device (e.g., are received by the receiver). The first UE 504b can experience additional interference based on one or more signals transmitted from the second UE 506b and / or the second base station 508b proximate to the first UE 504b.

[0112] Figure 5C A third example 520 of full-duplex communication is shown, in which a first UE 504c transmits and receives full-duplex communications with a first base station 502c and a second base station 508c. The first base station 502c and the second base station 508c can function as multiple transmit receive points (multi-TRP) for UL and DL communications with the UE 504c. The second base station 508c can also exchange communications with a second UE 506c. In Figure 5C In this example, the first UE 504c can transmit an uplink signal to the first base station 502c that overlaps in time with receiving a downlink signal from the second base station 508c. As a result of receiving at least a portion of the first signal while receiving the second signal, the first UE 504c can experience self-interference, e.g., the uplink signal from the UE to the base station 502c can leak to the receiver of the UE (e.g., be received by the receiver) when the UE is trying to receive a signal from the other base station 508c. The first UE 504c can experience additional interference from the second UE 506c.

[0113] Figure 5D A fourth example 530 of full-duplex communication is shown, in which a first base station 502d employs full-duplex communication with a first UE 504d and transmits a downlink communication to a second UE 506d. In this example, the first UE 504d is operating in full-duplex mode and the second UE 506d is operating in half-duplex mode. The first base station 502d and the first UE 504d receive and transmit communications that overlap in time and in the same frequency band. The base station 502d and the first UE 504d can each experience self-interference because signals transmitted from the corresponding device leak to the receiver at the same device (e.g., are received by the receiver). The base station 502d can further experience cross-link interference due to signals transmitted by the base station 508d. The second UE 506d can experience cross-link interference from uplink transmissions by the first UE 504b when receiving a downlink communication from the base station 502d.

[0114] Aspects of full-duplex communication can be configured to reduce or avoid interference, such as inter-base station and / or inter-UE CLI, e.g., including intra-subband CLI, inter-subband CLI (e.g., such as in non-overlapping full-duplex communication), and / or inter-operator CLI. Some aspects can be configured to enable adjacent channel coexistence with devices that do not support full-duplex communication.

[0115] Full-duplex communication can occur in the same frequency band, with uplink and downlink communication in different frequency subbands, in the same frequency subband, or in partially overlapping frequency subbands. Figure 6A A first example 600 of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) resources is illustrated, and Figure 6B A second example 610 of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) resources is illustrated. Figure 6C A third example 620 of sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) resources is illustrated. In IBFD communication, signals can be transmitted and received in overlapping time and overlapping frequency. As shown in the first example 600, the time and frequency allocation of the transmit resource 602 can completely overlap with the time and frequency allocation of the receive resource 604. In the second example 610, the time and frequency allocation of the transmit resource 612 can partially overlap with the time and frequency allocation of the receive resource 614.

[0116] IBFD contrasts with sub-band FDD, in which transmit and receive resources can overlap in time using different frequencies, as shown in the third example 620. In the third example 620, the UL, transmit resource 622 is separated from the receive resource 624 by a guard band 626. A guard band can be a gap in frequency resources or frequency resources provided between the transmit resource 622 and the receive resource 624. Utilizing a guard band to separate transmit frequency resources from receive frequency resources can help to reduce self-interference. Transmit and receive resources that are immediately adjacent to each other can be considered to have a guard bandwidth of 0. A guard band can reduce interference experienced by a wireless device, as output signals from the wireless device can extend outside of the transmit resource. Sub-band FDD can also be referred to as “flexible duplexing.”

[0117] If full-duplex operation is used for a UE or a device that implements UE functionality, the transmit resources 602, 612, and 622 can correspond to uplink resources, and the receive resources 604, 614, and 624 can correspond to downlink resources. Alternatively, if full-duplex operation is used for a base station or a device that implements base station functionality, the transmit resources 602, 612, and 622 can correspond to downlink resources, and the receive resources 604, 614, and 624 can correspond to uplink resources.

[0118] SBFD operation at the wireless device includes simultaneous Tx / Rx of subband-based, e.g., downlink and uplink, communications. SBFD communications can increase uplink duty cycle, enabling latency reduction and improvement in uplink coverage. For example, under SBFD, UL signals can be transmitted in a DL slot or flexible slot, and DL signals can be received in a UL slot, resulting in latency savings. SBFD can enhance system capacity, resource utilization, spectral efficiency, and enable flexible and dynamic UL / DL resource adaptation in a robust manner depending on UL / DL traffic. Figure 7A and Figure 7B are diagrams 700 and 750 illustrating examples of SBFD resources. Figure 7C is a diagram 775 illustrating an example of full duplex operation, e.g., such as where a base station uses Figure 7A or Figure 7B communications of SBFD resources illustrated. As shown in Figure 7C , cell 720 can have DL communications with one UE (e.g., UE 1 722) and simultaneously have UL communications with another UE (e.g., UE 2 724) on the same time slot. For example, a first panel 726 (or portion of a panel) can transmit downlink communications to UE 722, and cell 720 can receive uplink communications from UE 724 on a second panel 728 (or second portion of a panel). In one example, the DL communications with UE 1 722 can utilize RX resources 704, 706, and the UL communications with UE 2 724 can utilize TX resources 702. In another example, the DL communications with UE 1 722 can utilize RX resources 714, and the UL communications with UE 2 724 can utilize TX resources 712. Although examples are illustrated for multiple downlink subbands, aspects presented herein can similarly apply to multiple uplink subbands.

[0119] In some instances, a PRG can be determined to be a wideband PRG. In some instances, non-contiguous frequency resources across downlink subbands can be allocated that include contiguous frequency resources within each downlink subband. Wideband precoding can occur within each downlink subband. In some instances, non-contiguous frequency resources across downlink subbands can not be allocated such that only contiguous PRBs are allocated (e.g., single subband scheduling) when utilizing wideband DMRS precoding.

[0120] As described in connection with Figure 7C , a UE can operate in a half duplex mode while a base station communicates in a full duplex mode. In some aspects, a UE can be aware of full duplex communications or operation of a base station. For example, a SBFD aware UE can refer to a UE that is aware of or supports receiving and / or using information indicating full duplex resources or full duplex communications of a base station in different subbands.

[0121] A network node, such as a base station or a component of a base station, can be configured for resources in which SSBs are transmitted. Figure 3C An example including SSBs. A network node can also be configured or allocated resources for uplink transmissions from a UE. In some aspects, the network node can be provided uplink resources in an uplink sub-band (e.g., 822) of a full-duplex resource. Because SSBs and semi-static SBFD resources can have different periodicities, there can be instances in which a SSB occasion overlaps with a time resource configured for SBFD. Aspects presented herein enable a UE and / or network node to handle situations in which an overlap can occur between a SSB occasion in which a network node will transmit a SSB (e.g., in a downlink sub-band of a SBFD resource) and an uplink transmission resource in which a UE will transmit an uplink transmission (e.g., in an uplink sub-band of a SBFD resource). For example, aspects presented herein allow a UE and / or network node to adjust uplink communications and / or aspects related to SSBs when a SSB will overlap in time with a SBFD resource. Aspects presented herein enable a network and / or UE to balance the potential for uplink transmissions to cause interference to other UEs receiving SSBs from a network node with the potential latency reduction through SBFD communications in an uplink sub-band. For example, Figure 8A A time and frequency diagram 800 is illustrated showing some resources can be configured as semi-duplex resources (e.g., such as downlink periods 802 or uplink periods 810), which can each span one or more symbols. Other resources can be configured as full-duplex resources, e.g., with one or more downlink sub-bands 804 and 808 and one or more uplink sub-bands 806 overlapping in time. SBFD resources can correspond to one or more symbols. Figure 8A SSB occasions 812, 814, and 818 are illustrated as occurring in downlink resources. For example, the SSBs can be cell-defining SSBs (CD-SSBs) or non-cell-defining SSBs (NCD-SSBs). Aspects presented herein address overlaps shown at 820 and 822, e.g., in which resources for uplink transmissions in an uplink sub-band overlap in time with SSB occasions (e.g., 814 and 818), respectively. A symbol including a SSB occasion can be referred to as a SSB symbol. Aspects presented herein address situations in which uplink resources in an uplink sub-band of a resource configured for full-duplex communications will overlap with a SSB symbol.

[0122] Figure 8BThe time resource pattern 850 can indicate a pattern of time resources for downlink (e.g., D), uplink (e.g., U), special (e.g., S), or SBFD (e.g., SBFD) is illustrated. The SBFD pattern can be configured to be used for a period of time, e.g., which can be referred to as semi-static configuration. In some aspects, the pattern 850 can be referred to as a semi-static SBFD subband time location configuration. In some aspects, the semi-static SBFD subband time location configuration can be part of a TDD pattern, e.g., a semi-static TDD pattern that illustrates a pattern of uplink, downlink, flexible, special, and / or SBFD time resources. Each portion of the pattern can correspond to one or more slots, one or more symbols, etc. For example, in the illustration. For example, the network node can allocate or schedule downlink communications in the downlink time resources 852 of the pattern. The network node can allocate or schedule uplink communications in the uplink time resources 860 of the pattern. The network node can allocate or schedule uplink or downlink communications in the special time resources 858 of the pattern. For example, a special slot can correspond to a slot that includes both downlink and uplink time resources. As one example, a special slot can include ten downlink symbols, two guard symbols, and two uplink symbols. In the SBFD time resources 854 and 856 of the pattern, the network node can schedule downlink and uplink communications, e.g., downlink communications in one or more downlink subbands, such as 804 and / or 808, and uplink communications in one or more uplink subbands, such as 806.

[0123] In some aspects, an SSB can be scheduled in one of the downlink subbands, e.g., and not outside of the downlink subbands. In some aspects, an SSB can be scheduled in any symbol even outside of the downlink subbands.

[0124] In some aspects, a bit mask can be configured to indicate to a UE whether to measure an SSB in an SSB occasion or not. In some aspects, if a bit mask is not configured, the UE can not be allowed to transmit during the entire SSB measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window 826, which can be up to 5 ms. SBFD provides additional uplink communication opportunities. The overlap between the uplink transmission opportunities and the SSB can result in approximately 5 / 20 ms = 25% uplink interruption, which would impact the latency benefit of SBFD. The aspects presented herein provide conditions that can prioritize SSB measurement and / or can prioritize uplink transmission in SSB / SBFD symbols. The aspects presented herein help address the possibility of interference, e.g., CLI from uplink transmissions to SSB measurements of other UEs, while balancing the improvement in latency with SSB coverage and decoding consistency.

[0125] Figure 9A ,Figure 9B 、 Figure 10A and Figure 10B Various examples are illustrated in which an SSB occasion overlaps in time with a SBFD resource. A symbol in which an SSB occasion occurs can be referred to as an SSB symbol. An SSB symbol can be a serving cell SSB symbol (e.g., a symbol that includes an SSB occasion from a cell that is serving the UE) or a non-serving cell SSB symbol (e.g., a symbol that includes an SSB occasion from a cell that is not serving the UE).

[0126] In some aspects, an uplink subband can not be configured in an SSB symbol. For example, a network can not configure an uplink subband that would overlap with one or more symbols that include an SSB occasion. Figure 9A is a time and frequency diagram 900 illustrating downlink periods 902 and 920, an uplink period 910, and SBFD periods, in which uplink subbands 906 as well as downlink subbands 904 and 908 are configured. SSB occasions 912 and 922 occur in downlink periods 902 and 920. Figure 9A A collision of an SSB occasion 918 that would occur in downlink subband 908 of an SBFD period is illustrated. In some aspects, an uplink subband can not be configured in an SSB symbol. For example, Figure 9B is a time and frequency diagram 950 illustrating that a time period can be configured for a downlink communication (as shown at 954) based on the presence of SSB occasion 918.

[0127] In some aspects, a periodicity between SSB occasions and a semi-static SBFD subband time location configuration (e.g., such as illustrated in Figure 8B is illustrated) is not aligned, such that an SSB occasion can occur in a SBFD symbol. When such an overlap occurs, in some aspects, the SSB occasion can be dropped on the SBFD symbol. For example, in Figure 9A , SSB occasion 918 can be dropped. For example, a network node can skip transmitting an SSB in SSB occasion 918, and / or a UE can skip measuring an SSB in SSB occasion 918.

[0128] In some aspects, a network node can ensure that no SBFD operation occurs in an SSB symbol, even when a periodicity between an SSB and a semi-static SBFD subband time location configuration is not aligned. For example, a UE can not be expected to receive or measure an SSB that would occur in a SBFD symbol.

[0129] In some aspects, the UL subband can be configured in a symbol that includes SSB timing, for example, configured in an SSB symbol. In some aspects, the SBFD-aware UE may not transmit uplink transmissions in the uplink subband of any SSB symbol. The SBFD-aware UE may refer to a UE that supports receiving information about SBFD operations of network nodes. For example, the SBFD UE may receive indications... Figure 10A The information in the uplink subband 1006 is within the time period configured for SBFD operations at network nodes. Figure 10A An example is illustrated in diagram 1050 showing the timing and frequency of uplink transmission 1054 in uplink subband 1006, which will overlap in time with the SSB timing in downlink subband 1008 (e.g., occurring within an SSB symbol). Figure 10A As shown, in some aspects, the UE may not transmit uplink transmission 1054 in uplink subband 1006, which also includes SSB timings (e.g., for SSB 1058). The UE may have been allocated uplink resources for uplink transmission, but may skip uplink transmission in one or more symbols overlapping with SSB timings. In some aspects, the UE may skip uplink transmission based on the fact that at least a portion of the uplink transmission occurs in symbols including SSBs in downlink subbands. In some aspects, the UE may adjust uplink transmission to not transmit in symbols including SSBs in downlink subbands.

[0130] In some aspects, when an SBFD-aware UE is instructed to measure an SSB (e.g., which occurs in one or more SSB symbols), the UE may not transmit in uplink transmission 1054 in uplink subband 1006 of one or more symbols that include SSB 1058. For example, if the UE is not configured to measure SSB 1058, the UE may transmit uplink transmission 1054 that occurs in the same symbol as SSB 1058. If the UE is configured to measure SSB 1058, the UE adjusts uplink transmission 1054 to, for example, drop transmission or not transmit in the symbol in which SSB 1058 occurs.

[0131] In some respects, the UE may not transmit uplink transmission 1054 in the uplink subband of one or more symbols in which SSB 1058 occurs, for example, even when the UE is not instructed to measure SSB 1058 in one or more symbols. By not transmitting uplink transmission in the SSB symbol, the UE avoids interference to other UEs in the same cell and / or neighboring cells, which may be instructed to measure SSB in the same symbol. Uplink transmission 1054 may cause intra-cell or inter-cell CLI for downlink UE SSB measurements against other UEs.

[0132] In some aspects, the SBFD-aware UE can transmit an uplink transmission in an uplink sub-band in a SSB symbol. Figure 10B is a time and frequency diagram 1000 illustrating that a UE can transmit an uplink transmission 1022 in an uplink sub-band 1006, where the uplink transmission 1022 occurs in the same symbol as a SSB 1018 in a downlink sub-band 1008. In some aspects, the UE can transmit the uplink transmission based on occurrence of one or more conditions. As an example, if the UE is not instructed to measure the SSB 1018 in the SSB symbol (the network indicates it to the UE), the SBFD-aware UE can transmit the uplink transmission 1022 in the uplink sub-band 1006 in the SSB symbol (e.g., in the symbol that includes the SSB 1018). As another example, if the UE is instructed to measure the SSB 1018 in the SSB symbol (e.g., it is UE indicated) and the UE is also configured / scheduled to have uplink resources for the uplink transmission 1022, the UE can drop the SSB measurement of the SSB 1018 and transmit the uplink transmission 1022. As another example, if the UE is instructed to measure the SSB 1018 in the SSB symbol (e.g., it is UE indicated) and the UE is also configured / scheduled to have uplink resources for the uplink transmission 1022, the UE can drop the uplink transmission (e.g., as shown for 1054) and prioritize the SSB measurement of the SSB (e.g., 1058). As another example, if the UE is instructed to measure the SSB 1018 in the SSB symbol and the UE is also configured / scheduled to have uplink resources for the uplink transmission 1022, the UE can determine whether to drop the SSB measurement (e.g., as shown for 1054) or transmit the uplink transmission (e.g., as shown for 1058) based on a priority rule. For example, the priority rule can indicate whether the SBFD-aware UE will transmit in the UL sub-band in the SSB symbol or not. Figure 9A Figure 10A Figure 10B

[0133] ​​​For example, the priority rules can be based on any subset or any combination of various factors. In some aspects, the priority rules can be based on the SSB type that will occur in the SSB occasion. The SSB type can be aperiodic (AP), semi-persistent (SP), or periodic (P). As an example, aperiodic sources can be associated with a higher priority level than semi-persistent resources and periodic sources, and the priority relationship can be designated as AP > SP > P. In some aspects, the priority rules can be based on the uplink channel type or reference signal (RS) type of the uplink transmission (e.g., 1022 or 1054) that will occur in the SSB symbol. Aperiodic transmissions can be associated with a higher priority level than semi-persistent transmissions and periodic transmissions, and the priority relationship can be designated as AP > SP > P. As an example, aperiodic uplink transmissions can be prioritized over periodic SSBs. As another example, semi-persistent uplink transmissions can be dropped, and aperiodic SSBs can be prioritized.

[0134] In some aspects, the priority rules can be based on the downlink SSB measurement type. For example, SSBs can be used for different types of SSB measurements, and the UE can prioritize the measurement of SSBs differently for different types of SSB measurements. As an example, SSBs can be used for beam measurements, beam failure detection (BFD) or radio link monitoring (RLM), path loss reference signals (PL RS), and / or for radio resource management (RRM). The priority rules can be based on the SSB being used for one of beam measurements, BFD, RLM, PL RS, or RRM. In some aspects, SSB measurements for beam management can have a lower priority, SSB measurements for BFD / RLM can have a higher priority, SSB measurements for PL RS can have a lower priority, and SSB measurements for RRM or handover can have a higher priority.

[0135] In some aspects, the priority rules can be based on the downlink SSB type, e.g., whether the SSB occasion is for a serving cell SSB or a non-serving cell SSB. In some examples, serving cell SSBs can have a higher priority than non-serving cell SSBs. The priority rules can be based on whether the SSB is a serving cell SSB or a non-serving cell SSB. In some aspects, non-serving SSBs can be measured for beam switching purposes, e.g., without a cell RRC configuration change or handover. In some aspects, non-serving cell SSBs can be measured for serving cell change. Different SSBs can have different priorities, e.g., non-serving cell SSBs for beam switching measurements can have a higher priority than non-serving cell SSBs for serving cell change measurements.

[0136] In some aspects, the priority rules can be based on the uplink transmission type (e.g., at 1054 or 1022). For example, the priority rules can be based on whether the uplink transmission is a reference signal (e.g., such as an SRS) or an uplink channel transmission (e.g., PUCCH, PUSCH, PRACH).

[0137] In some aspects, the priority rules can be based on the uplink transmission service type or content type of the uplink transmission 1054 or 1022, e.g., whether the uplink transmission is a data transmission or a control transmission. If the uplink transmission is a control transmission, the priority rules can be based on whether the uplink transmission 1022 or 1054 is carrying CSI feedback, L1-RSRP, CLI, SR, or ACK / NACK, among other examples.

[0138] In some aspects, the priority rules can be based on the uplink physical (PHY) layer priority of the uplink transmission 1022 or 1054, e.g., the PHY priority of the PUCCH, PUSCH, or QoS class of the uplink transmission.

[0139] In some aspects, priority rules may be based on indications to the UE from the network node. In some aspects, the network node may provide the UE with an RRC indication of the priority to be applied to SSB and / or uplink transmissions. As an example, the network node may include bits (or one or more bits) to indicate that the UE can transmit in an uplink subband of an SBFD symbol or time slot overlapping with the SSB timing. Alternatively, the network node may include bits (or one or more bits) to indicate SSB timings not transmitted in the uplink subband, for example, as an indication of prioritizing the corresponding SSB measurement rather than prioritizing the corresponding uplink transmission. In some aspects, the network node may provide a bitmap of SSB timings. The bitmap may indicate timings in which uplink transmissions have a higher priority than SSBs, and unindicated timings may include SSBs with a higher priority than uplink transmissions. Alternatively, the bitmap may indicate SSB timings with a higher priority than uplink transmissions, and the remaining SSB timings may have a lower priority than uplink transmissions. In some aspects, the network node may provide the UE with MAC-CE or DCI indications. In some respects, the DCI indication may be in a group common DCI (GC DCI). In some respects, the indication may be in a UE-specific DCI. In some respects, the indication may be broadcast. The MAC-CE or DCI indication may be applied to one or more SSB timings. For example, the indication may include one or more bits indicating that the UE is capable of transmitting in the uplink subband of SBFD resources overlapping with the SSB timing. As another example, the indication may include one or more bits indicating that the UE will not transmit in the uplink subband of SBFD resources overlapping with the SSB timing, and that the SSB has a higher priority.

[0140] like Figure 11 As shown, the UE can transmit uplink transmission 1022 in an uplink subband that includes SBFD resources, including SSB symbols or SSB timings. If the network instructs the UE to measure SSB 1018 in an SSB symbol (e.g., as instructed by the UE) and also instructs (e.g., by scheduling or configuration) uplink resources for uplink transmission, the UE can consider frequency separation between frequency resources (e.g., RBs) allocated to the UE's uplink resources and SSB resources. In some aspects, the UE can also consider frequency separation in conjunction with the application of priority rules as described above.

[0141] In some aspects, the UE can transmit the uplink transmission 1022 in the uplink sub-band 1006 if a frequency separation 1024 (e.g., RBs) between the uplink resources for the uplink transmission 1022 and the SSB resources for the SSB 1018 is greater than a threshold. If the frequency separation 1024 is less than the threshold, the UE can not transmit the uplink transmission 1022 in a symbol that includes the SSB 1018. In some aspects, the threshold can be based on a minimum UE-to-UE CLI impact from the SSB 1018 from a potential uplink transmission to provide frequency isolation between the uplink transmission and the SSB.

[0142] In some aspects, if an uplink sub-band is configured in a SSB symbol (e.g., a symbol that includes an SSB occasion), an SBFD-aware UE can transmit in the uplink sub-band based on one or more conditions.

[0143] In some aspects, the SSB can overlap with a guard band 1124 (e.g., between the uplink sub-band 1106 and the downlink sub-band 1108), as shown in the resource graph 1100 of Figure 12 The SSB 1118 can at least partially overlap with the uplink sub-band 1106. In some aspects, an updated guard band location (e.g., 1126) between the SSB 1118 and the uplink transmission 1122 can be determined based on the SSB location + N RBs extended from the SSB 1118, where N is a positive integer. The updated guard band 1126 can extend into the uplink sub-band 1106, and the UE can use the remaining RBs of the uplink sub-band without the updated guard band to transmit the uplink transmission 1122.

[0144] In some aspects, the SSB 1218 can overlap with a guard band 1224 (e.g., between the uplink sub-band 1206 and the downlink sub-band 1208), but not overlap with the uplink sub-band 1206, as shown in the resource graph 1200 of Figure 12 The updated guard band location 1226 can be based on the SSB location + N RBs extended into the uplink sub-band 1206. The UE can transmit the uplink transmission 1222 in the remaining RBs of the uplink sub-band 1206. Figure 13 An example is illustrated in which the SSB 1218 overlaps with a guard band and does not overlap with an uplink sub-band.

[0145] Figures 8A-12An example communication flow 1300 between a UE 1304 and a network node 1302 is illustrated. The network node can be a base station, e.g., a base station in an aggregation and / or one or more components of a disaggregated base station, such as a CU 210, a DU 230, and / or a RU 240. The UE can correspond to a UE 104, 204, 450, or the apparatus 1504. The network node 1302 or 1306 can correspond to a base station 102, 202, 410, or the network entity 1702. As shown at 1310, the UE can receive a time resource pattern indicating a first set of time resources and a second set of time resources that do not overlap in the time domain with the first set of time resources. The first set of time resources can be configured with an SBFD configuration (e.g., SBFD slots or symbols), and each time resource of the second set of time resources can be configured with a non-SBFD configuration (e.g., D, U, or S slots or symbols), e.g., such as illustrated in any of the various examples in Figures 9B-12 The time resource pattern can indicate a pattern of half duplex time resources and full duplex time resources (e.g., SBFD time resources), for example. In some aspects, the SBFD time resources can be configured with one or more downlink subbands and one or more uplink subbands that the network node 1302 can use to transmit downlink communications and receive uplink communications in a full duplex mode. In some aspects, the UE can communicate with the network in a half duplex mode, e.g., transmitting uplink transmissions or receiving downlink transmissions without transmitting and receiving at the same time. The UE 1304 can be an SBFD aware UE and can support one or more features based on knowledge of SBFD operation of the network node 1302.

[0146] As illustrated at 1308, the UE 1304 can also receive SSB information, such as configuration associated with SSB 1320. The SSB can be a periodic SSB with periodic SSB occasions. The SSB can be a semi-persistent SSB with periodic SSB occasions for a semi-persistent duration. The SSB can be an aperiodic SSB. The SSB can be for a serving cell. In some aspects, the SSB can be for a non-serving cell. As shown at 1309, the non-serving cell (e.g., network node 1306) can provide SSB information regarding SSB 1322. In some aspects, the SSB information 1308 can include SSB measurement configuration for the UE 1304.

[0147] At 1312, the network node 1302 can allocate or schedule uplink resources for the UE to transmit an uplink transmission to the network node 1302. The allocation can be a configured grant of recurring uplink resources, e.g., that can be RRC configured and activated via MAC-CE and / or DCI. The allocation can include a grant of uplink resources in DCI. The uplink resources can be within an uplink sub-band of time resources configured as SBFD resources, e.g., as shown in any of Figures 9A-12

[0148] In some aspects, as exemplified at 1314, the UE 1304 can determine that the uplink transmission based on the configured or scheduled uplink resources would overlap in time with a SSB occasion (e.g., SSB symbol). In some aspects, as shown at 1316, the UE can adjust the uplink transmission or the SSB reception, e.g., as described in connection with any of Figure 9A For example, the UE can use a priority rule to determine whether to transmit or drop the uplink transmission, or to measure the SSB. In some aspects, the UE 1304 can transmit the uplink transmission 1324, e.g., which can correspond to any of 1022, 1122, or 1222, for example.

[0149] In some aspects, the network node 1302 can allocate resources to avoid SBFD operation in SSB symbols, e.g., as described in connection with Figure 9B and Figure 14 For example, the UE 1304 can not expect to receive or measure a SSB symbol in a SBFD symbol. The base station can not schedule an uplink transmission that would overlap with a SSB.

[0150] Figure 8B is a flow diagram of a method of wireless communication. The method can be performed by a UE (e.g., the UE 104, 204, 450, 724, 1304; the apparatus 1504). As an example, aspects described in connection with the method can be performed, for example, by the SBFD component 198. The method can enable a UE to address the possibility of an overlap between SSB resources and resources for uplink transmissions, for example, based on full-duplex operation by a network node. By enabling a UE to address an overlap, aspects can improve accuracy of communications, reduce interference, and help enable increased efficiency and reduced latency by supporting full-duplex communications at a network node.

[0151] ​At 1402, the UE receives a time resource pattern including a first set of time resources and a second set of time resources that do not overlap in the time domain with the first set of time resources. Each time resource in the first set of time resources is configured with an SBFD configuration, and each time resource in the second set of time resources is configured with a non-SBFD configuration. For example, 1402 can be performed by SBFD component 198. Figure 13 Examples of a time resource pattern are illustrated, and Figure 3C Examples of the UE 1304 receiving the time resource pattern at 1310 are illustrated. The first set of time resources can be referred to as SBFD symbols and can correspond to a time period in which the network node performs simultaneous uplink and downlink communication (e.g., SBFD communication). Thus, the SBFD configuration can be used for SBFD communication by the network node. For example, the UE can communicate based on a half duplex operation.

[0152] At 1404, the UE receives a SSB configuration including one or more periodic SSB occasions. Figure 13 Example aspects of a SSB are illustrated. For example, 1402 can be performed by SBFD component 198. Figure 13 Examples of the UE 1304 receiving SSB information (e.g., 1308 and / or 1309) are illustrated.

[0153] At 1406, the UE adjusts at least one of SSB measurement or uplink transmission in one or more symbols including a SSB occasion of the one or more periodic SSB occasions that overlaps with a time resource of the first set of time resources. For example, 1402 can be performed by SBFD component 198. Figures 8A-13 Examples of the UE 1304 adjusting SSB measurement or uplink transmission at 1316 are illustrated. The adjustment can include any of the aspects described in connection with Figure 15 any of the aspects described in connection with

[0154] In some aspects, each SSB occasion of the one or more periodic SSB occasions can be included in the second set of time resources. For example, in some aspects, uplink resources (e.g., uplink subbands) can not be configured in symbols that include a SSB. In some aspects, for example, the UE can receive a configuration in a symbol with a SSB that avoids SBFD operation by the network node, and the UE can not expect to receive or measure a SSB in a SBFD symbol. In some aspects, adjusting at least one of SSB measurement or uplink transmission can include skipping SSB measurement based on the SSB configuration. For example, the UE can not expect to receive or measure a SSB in a SBFD symbol.

[0155] In some aspects, the uplink resource can be configured in a symbol that includes the SSB. In some aspects, adjusting at least one of the SSB measurement or the uplink transmission can include skipping transmission of the uplink transmission in one or more symbols that include the SSB. In some aspects, adjusting at least one of the SSB measurement or the uplink transmission can include skipping transmission of the uplink transmission in a symbol in which the UE is configured to measure the SSB. For example, the UE can receive a configuration to measure a respective SSB in one or more periodic SSB occasions, and can skip transmission of the uplink transmission in one or more symbols, e.g., symbols in which the UE is configured to measure the respective SSB. In other aspects, e.g., if the UE is not indicated to measure the SSB, the UE can transmit the uplink transmission in a symbol that includes a symbol of the SSB. For example, the UE can transmit the uplink transmission in one or more symbols based on the UE not being configured to perform the SSB measurement, e.g., one or more symbols that include an SSB for which the UE is not configured to measure.

[0156] In some aspects, the UE can be indicated to measure an SSB in a symbol and can also be configured or scheduled to transmit an uplink transmission. For example, the UE can receive a configuration to measure a respective SSB in one or more periodic SSB occasions and can receive an allocation of one or more uplink subbands to transmit a respective uplink transmission in one or more time resources of a first set of time resources. In some aspects, the UE can transmit the respective uplink transmission in the one or more symbols and skip SSB measurement in the one or more symbols. In some aspects, the UE can measure the respective SSB in the one or more symbols and skip the respective uplink transmission in the one or more symbols. In some aspects, the UE can prioritize transmitting the respective uplink transmission in the one or more symbols or measuring the respective SSB in the one or more symbols based on a rule. For example, the rule can be based on one or more of a SSB type of a respective SSB occasion of the one or more symbols, an uplink channel scheduling type of a respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a reference signal scheduling type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a measurement type of a measurement of the respective SSB of the one or more symbols, a cell type associated with the respective SSB of the one or more symbols, an uplink transmission type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a content type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, a physical channel type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, or a quality of service (QoS) of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols. For example, the rule can be based on a SSB type of a respective SSB occasion of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the SSB type includes one of an aperiodic SSB, a semi-persistent SSB, or a periodic SSB. For example, the rule can be based on an uplink channel scheduling type of a respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the uplink channel scheduling type and the reference signal scheduling type includes one of an aperiodic scheduling type, a semi-persistent scheduling type, or a periodic scheduling type. For example, the rule can be based on a measurement type for measuring a respective SSB of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the measurement type includes one of beam management, beam failure detection, radio link monitoring, PL, or radio resource management. For example, the rule can be based on a cell type associated with the respective SSB of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the cell type includes one of a serving cell or a non-serving cell. For example, the rule can be based on an uplink transmission type of a respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the uplink transmission type includes one of a reference signal or a physical uplink channel. For example, the rule can be based on a content type of the respective uplink transmission of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the content type includes one of data or control information.For example, the rule can be based on a physical channel type of the respective uplink transmission of one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the physical channel type includes one of PUCCH, PUSCH, or PRACH, among other examples. For example, the rule can be based on a QoS of the respective uplink transmission of one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the aperiodic resource is associated with a higher priority level than semi-persistent resources and periodic resources. In some aspects, the rule can be based on an indication from the network node. For example, the indication can include one or more of: an RRC indication indicating to prioritize one of measuring the respective SSB or transmitting the respective uplink transmission, a MAC-CE indication indicating to prioritize one of measuring the respective SSB or transmitting the respective uplink transmission, a group common signaling downlink control information (GC DCI), a broadcast message, or a UE-specific message such as a UE-specific DCI.

[0157] In some aspects, to adjust at least one of the SSB measurement or the uplink transmission, the UE can transmit or skip the respective uplink transmission in one or more symbols based at least in part on a frequency separation between one or more resource blocks of the uplink transmission and one or more frequency resources of the SSB on each respective symbol. For example, the UE can transmit the uplink transmission if the frequency separation between the uplink resources and the SSB resources is at least a threshold separation, and skip the uplink transmission if the separation is less than the threshold separation. The threshold can help avoid inter-CLI from the SSB of the uplink transmission when there is less frequency separation. In some aspects, the frequency separation can be considered in conjunction with a priority rule, such as one or more of the example priority rules described above.

[0158] In some aspects, to adjust at least one of SSB measurements or uplink transmissions, the UE can adjust respective uplink transmissions in one or more uplink subbands based on one or more frequency resources of the SSB overlapping at least one of a first set of resource blocks of one or more symbol or a second set of resource blocks of a guard band of the one or more uplink subbands. The guard band can be indicated to the UE by the network node or implicitly known by the UE. For example, the UE can receive an indication of a downlink subband and an uplink subband, and the remaining RBs between each downlink subband and each uplink subband can be guard band RBs. In some aspects, the UE can receive an indication of one or more resource blocks of the second set of resource blocks. In some aspects, the UE can receive one or more indications of one or more resource blocks of a first set of resource blocks and a third set of resource blocks of one or more downlink subbands of a respective symbol of the one or more symbols, and wherein the second set of resource blocks is located in frequency between the first set of resource blocks and the third set of resource blocks. In some aspects, the SSB can overlap in frequency with a subset of resources of the first set of resource blocks, and to adjust the respective uplink transmissions, the UE can skip transmitting the uplink transmissions in resources that overlap with the subset of resources. In some aspects, to adjust the respective uplink transmissions, the UE can skip transmitting the uplink transmissions in the second set of resource blocks.

[0159] In some aspects, the SSB can not overlap in frequency with the first set of resource blocks and overlap with a first subset of resources of the second set of resource blocks. To adjust the respective uplink transmissions, the UE can skip transmitting the uplink transmissions in resources that overlap with a second subset of resources of the first set of resource blocks, and a respective number of resource blocks of the first subset of resources and the second subset of resources is a same number. For example, resources for the SSB can overlap with a guard band, but not overlap with resources for the uplink transmissions, and a new guard band location can be based on a location of the SSB plus an increase in a number of RBs extended into resources for the uplink transmissions. The UE can then transmit the uplink transmissions in remaining RBs for the uplink transmissions, e.g., after applying the new guard band.

[0160] Figure 15is a diagram 1500 illustrating an example of a hardware implementation for an apparatus 1504. The apparatus 1504 can be a UE, a component of a UE, or can implement UE functionality. The UE can correspond to the UE 104, 204, 450, 504a, 504b, 504c, 504d, 722, 724, 1304. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can include at least one cellular baseband processor 1524 (also referred to as a modem) coupled with one or more transceivers 1522 (e.g., cellular RF transceivers). The cellular baseband processor 1524 can include at least one on-chip memory 1524'. As illustrated, the apparatus can include a processing system, which can be implemented in a bus-based architecture, as illustrated, having a number of interconnecting buses and bridges. Of course, the processing system can be implemented in a variety of other architectures using a variety of bus protocols, as is well known in the art. As Figure 4 As illustrated, the buses can link together various circuits including the one or more processors and / or hardware components (represented by the processor (or processing circuitry) (e.g., 1524 or 1506), illustrated components, and computer-readable media / memory (or memory circuitry) (e.g., 1524' and / or 1506')). The memory can include a number of memories, such as the memory 1524' and / or 1506'.

[0161] In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can also include one or more Subscriber Identity Modules (SIM) cards 1520 and at least one application processor 1506 coupled to a Secure Digital (SD) card 1508 and a screen 1510. The application processor 1506 can include on-chip memory 1506'. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can also include a Bluetooth module 1512, a WLAN module 1514, an SPS module 1516 (e.g., a GNSS module), one or more sensor modules 1518 (e.g., a barometric pressure sensor / altimeter; a motion sensor such as an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), a gyroscope, and / or an accelerometer; a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), a Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR), a Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR), a magnetometer, audio, and / or other technology for positioning), an additional memory module 1526, a power supply 1530, and / or a camera 1532. The Bluetooth module 1512, the WLAN module 1514, and the SPS module 1516 can include on-chip transceivers (TRXs) (or in some cases, only receivers (RXs)). The Bluetooth module 1512, the WLAN module 1514, and the SPS module 1516 can include their own dedicated antennas and / or utilize the antennas 1580 for communication. The cellular baseband processor 1524 communicates with the UE 104, 204, or 450 and / or with the RUs associated with the network entity 1502 via one or more antennas 1580 through the transceiver 1522. The cellular baseband processor 1524 and the application processor 1506 can each include computer- readable medium / memory 1524', 1506', respectively. The additional memory module 1526 can also be considered a computer-readable medium / memory. Each computer-readable medium / memory 1524', 1506', 1526 can be non-transitory. The cellular baseband processor 1524 and the application processor 1506 are configured to perform the various functions described above with respect to the base station 102, 202, or 350 and the network entity 1502 by executing software stored by the computer-readable medium / memory. The software, when executed by the cellular baseband processor 1524 and the application processor 1506, enables the cellular baseband processor 1524 and the application processor 1506 to perform the functions as described herein. The cellular baseband processor 1524 and the application processor 1506 are configured to perform the various functions described above based on information stored in the memory. That is, the cellular baseband processor 1524 and the application processor 1506 can be configured to perform a first subset of the various functions described above without the information stored in the memory, and can be configured to perform a second subset of the various functions described above based on the information stored in the memory.

In one configuration, the apparatus 1504 (and, in particular, the cellular baseband processor 1524 and / or the application processor 1506) can include means for receiving a time resource pattern including a first set of time resources and a second set of time resources that do not overlap in the time domain with the first set of time resources, each time resource in the first set of time resources being configured with an SBFD configuration, and each time resource in the second set of time resources being configured with a non-SBFD configuration; means for receiving an SSB configuration including one or more periodic SSB occasions; and means for adjusting at least one of an SSB measurement or an uplink transmission in one or more symbols, the one or more symbols including an SSB occasion of the one or more periodic SSB occasions that overlaps with a time resource in the first set of time resources. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can further include means for receiving a configuration to measure a respective SSB in the one or more periodic SSB occasions, where adjusting at least one of the SSB measurement or the uplink transmission includes skipping transmitting the uplink transmission in the one or more symbols. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can further include means for transmitting the uplink transmission in the one or more symbols based on the UE not being configured to perform the SSB measurement. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can further include means for receiving a configuration to measure a respective SSB in the one or more periodic SSB occasions; and receiving an allocation of one or more uplink subbands to transmit a respective uplink transmission in one or more time resources of the first set of time resources. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can further include means for transmitting the respective uplink transmission in the one or more symbols, where adjusting at least one of the SSB measurement or the uplink transmission includes skipping the SSB measurement in the one or more symbols. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can further include means for measuring the respective SSB in the one or more symbols, where adjusting at least one of the SSB measurement or the uplink transmission includes skipping the respective uplink transmission in the one or more symbols.In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can also include means for prioritizing, based on the rule, transmitting the respective uplink transmissions in the one or more symbols or measuring the respective SSBs in the one or more symbols. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can also include means for adjusting the respective uplink transmissions in the one or more uplink sub-bands based on the one or more frequency resources of the SSB overlapping at least one of a first set of resource blocks of the one or more uplink sub-bands or a second set of resource blocks of a guard band. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can also include means for receiving an indication of one or more resource blocks of the second set of resource blocks. In some aspects, the apparatus 1504 can also include means for receiving one or more indications of one or more resource blocks of a first set of resource blocks and a third set of resource blocks of one or more downlink sub-bands of a respective symbol of the one or more symbols, and where the second set of resource blocks is located in frequency between the first set of resource blocks and the third set of resource blocks. The apparatus can include means for performing any of the aspects described by the methods described in Figure 13 Figure 16 The components of means for performing any of the aspects of the methods described in

[0163] Figure 8B is a flow diagram of a method of wireless communication. The method can be performed by a base station or a component of a base station (e.g., the base station 102, 202, 410; the network node 1302; the network entity 1502, 1702; the CU 210, the DU 230; the RU 240). As an example, aspects described in connection with the method can be performed by an SBFD component 199. The method addresses the possibility of overlap between SSB resources and resources used for uplink transmissions (e.g., based on full-duplex operation of the network node) and helps improve accuracy of communications, reduce interference, and help enable increased efficiency and reduced latency by supporting full-duplex communications at the network node.

[0164] At 1602, the network node configures a pattern of time resources including a first set of time resources and a second set of time resources that do not overlap in the time domain with the first set of time resources. Each time resource of the first set of time resources can be configured with an SBFD configuration, and each time resource of the second set of time resources can be configured with a non-SBFD configuration. The configuration at 1602 can be performed, for example, by the SBFD component 199.​Figure 13 An example of a time resource pattern is illustrated. Figure 13 An example of the network node 1302 providing (e.g., transmitting) a time resource pattern to the UE 1304 at 1310 is illustrated. The first set of time resources can be referred to as SBFD symbols and can correspond to a time period in which the network node performs simultaneous uplink and downlink communication (e.g., SBFD communication). Thus, the SBFD configuration can be used for SBFD communication by the network node. For example, the UE can communicate based on a half duplex operation.

[0165] At 1604, the network node provides a SSB configuration including one or more periodic SSB occasions. Providing the SSB configuration at 1604 can be performed, for example, by the SBFD component 199. Figures 8A-13 An example of the network node 1302 providing (e.g., transmitting) a SSB configuration to the UE 1304 at 1308 is illustrated.

[0166] At 1606, the network node adjusts SSB operation or SBFD operation in one or more symbols including a SSB occasion overlapping with reception of uplink transmission of the first set of time resources. The adjustment at 1606 can be performed, for example, by the SBFD component 199. The adjustment can include Figure 17 Any of the aspects described.

[0167] In some aspects, each SSB occasion of the one or more periodic SSB occasions can be included in the second set of time resources. For example, in some aspects, uplink resources (e.g., uplink subbands) can not be configured in symbols including SSBs. In some aspects, for example, the network node can provide a configuration to the UE in symbols with SSBs to avoid SBFD operation by the network node, and the UE can not be expected to receive or measure SSBs in SBFD symbols. To adjust SSB operation or SBFD operation, the network node can skip scheduling of uplink traffic for the one or more symbols. For example, the network node can schedule uplink communication by the UE to avoid symbols including SSBs. To adjust SSB operation or SBFD operation, the network node can skip transmission of a respective SSB in each SSB occasion of the one or more symbols.

[0168] In some aspects, the network node can schedule each SSB occasion of the one or more periodic SSB occasions to a respective time resource in the second set of time resources. For example, the network node can avoid SBFD operation in SSB symbols, for example, even when periodic misalignment between SSBs and semi-static SBFD subband time location configuration. The network node can not expect the UE to receive or measure SSBs in SBFD symbols.

[0169] In some aspects, to adjust the SSB operation or the SBFD operation, the network node can configure respective time resources of the first set of time resources to avoid overlapping with each SSB occasion of the SSB configuration. In some aspects, each time resource of the first set of time resources can include one or more uplink sub-bands and one or more downlink sub-bands that overlap in the time domain.

[0170] In some aspects, the network node can obtain an uplink communication associated with the first UE using the one or more uplink sub-bands of the first time resource of the time resource pattern; and provide a downlink communication associated with the second UE using the one or more downlink sub-bands of the first time resource.

[0171] In some aspects, the network node can provide the UE with an allocation of one or more uplink sub-bands for respective uplink transmissions in one or more time resources of the first set of time resources. For example, the network node can configure the uplink sub-bands in symbols with SSBs. The network node can provide the UE with a configuration to measure respective SSBs in one or more periodic SSB occasions; and skip reception of uplink transmissions in the one or more uplink sub-bands at the one or more symbols. In some aspects, the network node can prioritize SSB measurements or reception of uplink transmissions in one or more periodic SSB occasions of the one or more symbols based on a rule. For example, the rule can be based on one or more of: a SSB type of the respective SSB occasions of the one or more symbols, an uplink channel scheduling type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, a reference signal scheduling type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, a measurement type of the measurements of the respective SSBs of the one or more symbols, a cell type associated with the respective SSBs of the one or more symbols, an uplink transmission type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, a content type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, a physical channel type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, or a QoS of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols. For example, the rule can be based on the SSB type of the respective SSB occasions of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the SSB type includes one of an aperiodic SSB, a semi-persistent SSB, or a periodic SSB. For example, the rule can be based on the uplink channel scheduling type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the uplink channel scheduling type and the reference signal scheduling type includes one of an aperiodic scheduling type, a semi-persistent scheduling type, or a periodic scheduling type. For example, the rule can be based on the measurement type for measuring the respective SSBs of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the measurement type includes one of beam management, beam failure detection, radio link monitoring, PL, or radio resource management. For example, the rule can be based on the cell type associated with the respective SSBs of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the cell type includes one of a serving cell or a non-serving cell. For example, the rule can be based on the uplink transmission type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the uplink transmission type includes one of a reference signal or a physical uplink channel. For example, the rule can be based on the content type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the content type includes one of data or control information. For example, the rule can be based on the physical channel type of the respective uplink transmissions of the one or more symbols, e.g., based on whether the physical channel type includes one of a PUCCH, a PUSCH, a PRACH, and / or the like.For example, the rule can be based on a QoS of the one or more symbols of the respective uplink transmission, e.g., based on whether the aperiodic resource is associated with a higher priority level than semi-persistent resources and periodic resources. In some aspects, the rule can be based on an indication from the network node. For example, the indication can comprise one or more of: an RRC indication indicating to prioritize measuring one of the respective SSB or transmitting the respective uplink transmission, a MAC-CE indication indicating to prioritize measuring one of the respective SSB or transmitting the respective uplink transmission, a GC DCI, a broadcast message, or a UE-specific message such as a UE-specific DCI. In some aspects, the aperiodic resource can be associated with a higher priority level than semi-persistent resources and periodic resources.

[0172] In some aspects, the network node can skip the respective uplink transmission in one or more symbols based at least in part on a frequency separation between one or more resource blocks of the uplink transmission and one or more frequency resources of the SSB on each respective symbol. For example, if the frequency separation between the uplink resource and the SSB resource is at least a threshold separation, the network node can receive the uplink transmission, and if the separation is less than the threshold separation, the network node can skip receiving the uplink transmission, or skip scheduling the uplink transmission. The threshold can help avoid inter-CLI from the SSB of the uplink transmission when there is less frequency separation. In some aspects, the frequency separation can be considered in conjunction with a priority rule, such as one or more of the example priority rules described above.

[0173] In some aspects, an uplink sub-band can be configured in a SSB symbol, and a SBFD-aware UE can be allowed to transmit in the uplink sub-band in the SSB symbol. In some aspects, a network node can provide a UE with an allocation of one or more uplink sub-bands for respective uplink transmissions in one or more time resources in a first set of time resources, provide the UE with a configuration to measure a respective SSB in one or more periodic SSB occasions, and adjust respective reception of the uplink transmissions in the one or more uplink sub-bands based on one or more frequency resources of the SSB overlapping a first set of resource blocks of the one or more uplink sub-bands of the at least one or more symbols or a second set of resource blocks of a guard band. The SSB can overlap a subset of resources of the first set of resource blocks in frequency, and the network node can adjust the respective reception to skip receiving the uplink transmissions in resources overlapping the subset of resources. In some aspects, to adjust the respective reception, the network node can skip receiving the uplink transmissions in the second set of resource blocks. For example, the SSB can overlap the guard band and can also partially overlap the uplink sub-band. A new guard band location between the SSB and the uplink transmissions UL can be determined based on the SSB location plus a number of RBs extending from the SSB and within the uplink sub-band. The network node can receive the uplink transmissions in remaining RBs of the uplink sub-band.

[0174] In some aspects, the SSB can not overlap the first set of resource blocks in frequency and overlap a first subset of resource blocks of the second set of resource blocks. To adjust the respective reception, the network node can skip receiving the uplink transmissions in one or more guard band resources based on resources of the SSB. For example, resources for the SSB can overlap the guard band but not overlap resources for the uplink transmissions, and a new guard band location can be based on the SSB location plus an increased number of RBs extending into resources for the uplink transmissions. The network node can receive the uplink transmissions in remaining RBs for the uplink transmissions, e.g., after applying the new guard band.
