Interference-based reporting using set of channel measurement resources

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may select a set of signal resources from a set of channel measurement resources (CMRs). For one or more signal resources of the set of signal resources, the UE may select a corresponding interference resource from the CMR set, thereby forming a resource pair of signal and interference resources. The UE may send reports to a network entity based on the resource pairs. For example, the report may indicate the signal resources, the interference resources, the resource pairs, resource pair channel metrics, spatial or temporal beam prediction based on the resource pairs, ranking of the resource pairs based on at least one channel metric or other preference, or any combination thereof. The reporting, the pairs of resources, or both may be based on a configuration indicated by the network entity to the UE.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The following pertains to wireless communications, including interference-based reporting using the Channel Measurement Resources (CMR) set. Background Technology

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, message sending and receiving, broadcasting, and so on. These systems can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth-generation (4G) systems (such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-A Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth-generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems). These systems may employ technologies such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or Discrete Fourier Transform Extended Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations, each supporting wireless communication of communication devices, which may be referred to as User Equipment (UE).

[0003] In some wireless communication systems, the UE can report channel information to the network entity based on channel measurements. In some cases, the network entity can configure the UE using Channel Measurement Resources (CMR) and Interference Measurement Resources (IMR) pairs on which channel measurements are to be performed. However, configuring CMR-IMR pairs at the UE may result in the UE measuring and reporting a large number of CMR-IMR pairs to determine the beam used for communication, which can lead to significant latency and channel overhead. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The described technology relates to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses for supporting interference-based reporting using (e.g., a single) set of channel measurement resources (CMRs). For example, the described technology allows a user equipment (UE) to receive a request from a network entity for transmitting a report including channel information associated with multiple resources (such as a CMR set). The UE may select a first set of signal resources from the multiple resources (e.g., a CMR set) for channel measurement. For each signal resource in the selected set, the UE may select a corresponding interference resource (e.g., a resource for interfering with channel measurement) from the multiple resources (e.g., the CMR set), thereby forming a signal and interference resource pair from the CMR set. The UE may report information based on measurements (e.g., channel measurements) performed on the signal and interference resource pair.

[0005] Reports sent by the UE to the network entity may include channel information. For example, the report may include spatial or temporal beam predictions based on measurements of signal resources, interference resources, or both, where the beam predictions may be based on artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models. As another example, the report may include a ranking of selected signal and interference resource pairs based on at least one value of at least one channel metric indicating the signal and interference resource pair (e.g., signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, channel quality indicator (CQI)), or one or more other UE preferences. The report may be an example of a channel state information (CSI) report, a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) report, a radio resource control (RRC) message, a user plane data message, or a combination thereof. In some cases, the network entity may configure one or more parameters for the UE to select resources (e.g., signal resources, corresponding interference resources), one or more parameters for the UE to create (e.g., generate, send) reports (e.g., the content of the report), or any combination thereof.

[0035] In some wireless communication systems, user equipment (UE) can report channel information to network entities based on channel measurements. In some cases, channel measurements can be performed on channel measurement resources (CMR), interference measurement resources (IMR), or both, where the network can configure (e.g., indicate predetermined) CMR and IMR pairs to the UE for channel measurements. However, such channel measurements may be suboptimal due to the UE's lack of flexibility in determining which resource pairs to measure and report. For example, the UE may fail to determine the CMR-IMR pair corresponding to a threshold channel metric (e.g., highest signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR)). Additionally or alternatively, reporting channel information against a set of configured CMR-IMR pairs can result in significant reporting overhead (e.g., channel overhead), reporting delay, or both.

[0036] According to the techniques described herein, a UE can receive a request from a network entity to transmit a report including channel information associated with multiple resources. For example, a network entity can configure the UE using a CMR set for channel measurements, which includes one or more Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) resources, one or more Non-Zero Power (NZP) Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources, or any combination thereof. The UE can select a first set of signal resources from multiple resources (e.g., the CMR set), which can be used for channel measurements. For a signal resource in the set of signal resources, the UE can select a corresponding interference resource (e.g., a resource for interfering with channel measurements) from multiple resources (e.g., the CMR set), thereby forming a signal and interference resource pair. In some examples, the UE can select a signal and interference resource pair for each signal resource in the selected set of signal resources. The UE can use the signal and interference resource pair to perform measurements (e.g., channel measurements) and can report information to the network based on these measurements.

[0037] Reports sent from a UE to a network entity may include channel information, such as Channel State Information (CSI). For example, the report may include spatial or temporal beam predictions based on measurements of signal resources, interference resources, or both, where the beam predictions may be based on artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models. As another example, the report may include a ranking of selected signal and interference resource pairs based on at least one value of at least one channel metric (e.g., SINR, Channel Quality Indicator (CQI)) indicating the signal and interference resource pair, based on one or more UE preferences, or both. The report may be an example of a CSI report, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) report, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message, a user plane data message, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the network entity may configure one or more parameters for the UE to use to select resources (e.g., signal resources, corresponding interference resources), for the UE to use to create (e.g., generate, send) reports (e.g., indicate the content of the reports), or both.

[0038] The aspects of this disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Additionally, the aspects of this disclosure are described in context and with reference to prediction schemes and process flows. The aspects of this disclosure are further illustrated and described by means of and reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts relating to interference-based reporting using CMR sets.

[0039] Figure 1An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting interference-based reporting using CMR sets according to one or more aspects of this disclosure is shown. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more network entities 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an Advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a New Radio (NR) network, or a network operating under other systems and radio technologies, including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0040] Network entity 105 may be distributed across a geographical area to form wireless communication system 100, and may include devices employing different forms or having different capabilities. In various examples, network entity 105 may be referred to as a network element, mobility element, radio access network (RAN) node, or network equipment, etc. In some examples, network entity 105 and UE 115 may wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) access links). For example, network entity 105 may support coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographical coverage area) within which UE 115 and network entity 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. Coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographical area within which network entity 105 and UE 115 may support the transmission of signals according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0041] UE 115 can be distributed throughout the coverage area 110 of wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 can be stationary or mobile, or stationary and mobile at different times. UE 115 can be devices in different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UE 115s are illustrated herein. The UE 115 described herein can be able to support various types of devices (such as, e.g., ...). Figure 1 It communicates with other UEs (115 or network entity 105) as shown.

[0042] As described herein, nodes of the wireless communication system 100 (which may be referred to as network nodes or wireless nodes) may be network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), network controller, apparatus, device, computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, a node may be UE 115. Alternatively, a node may be network entity 105. Furthermore, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second or third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be UE 115, the second node may be network entity 105, and the third node may be UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be UE 115, the second node may be network entity 105, and the third node may be network entity 105. In other aspects of this example, the first node, the second node, and the third node may be different from these examples. Similarly, references to UE 115, network entity 105, device, equipment, computing system, etc., may include disclosures of UE 115, network entity 105, device, equipment, computing system, etc., as nodes. For example, a disclosure that UE 115 is configured to receive information from network entity 105 also discloses that a first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0043] In some examples, network entity 105 may communicate with core network 130, communicate with each other, or both. For example, network entity 105 may communicate with core network 130 via one or more backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to S1, N2, N3, or other interface protocols). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via core network 130) via backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to X2, Xn, or other interface protocols). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with each other via midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., according to midhaul interface protocol) or fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., according to fronthaul interface protocol) or any combination thereof. Backhaul communication link 120, midhaul communication link 162, or fronthaul communication link 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g., electrical links, fiber optic links), one or more wireless links (e.g., radio links, wireless optical links), etc., or various combinations thereof. UE 115 can communicate with core network 130 via communication link 155.

[0044] One or more network entities in network entity 105 described herein may include or be referred to as base station 140 (e.g., transceiver base station, radio base station, NR base station, access point, radio transceiver, node B, eNodeB (eNB), next-generation node B or gigabit node B (any of which may be referred to as gNB), 5G NB, next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), home node B, home evolution node B, or other suitable terms). In some examples, network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, standalone) base station architecture that may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single network entity 105 (e.g., a single RAN node, such as base station 140).

[0045] In some examples, network entity 105 may be implemented in a decomposed architecture (e.g., a decomposed base station architecture, a decomposed RAN architecture) that can be configured to utilize protocol stacks physically or logically distributed across two or more network entities 105, such as an Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) network, an Open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or a Virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a Cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, network entity 105 may include one or more of the following: a Central Unit (CU) 160, a Distributed Unit (DU) 165, a Radio Unit (RU) 170, a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) 175 (e.g., a near-real-time RIC, a non-real-time RIC), a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) 180 system, or any combination thereof. 170 may also be referred to as a radio headend, intelligent radio headend, remote radio headend (RRH), remote radio unit (RRU), or transmit / receive point (TRP). One or more components of network entity 105 in a decomposed RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of network entity 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more network entities 105 in a decomposed RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., virtual CU (VCU), virtual DU (VDU), virtual RU (VRU)).

[0046] The functional splitting among CU 160, DU 165, and RU 170 is flexible and can support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, and any combination thereof) are performed at CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170. For example, a protocol stack functional splitting can be used between CU 160 and DU 165, allowing CU 160 to support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and DU 165 to support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. In some examples, CU 160 can host higher protocol layer (e.g., Layer 3 (L3), Layer 2 (L2)) functionalities and signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC), Serving Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)). CU 160 can connect to one or more DU 165 or RU 170, and one or more DU 165 or RU 170 can host lower protocol layers, such as Layer 1 (L1) (e.g., Physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, Medium Access Control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and each can be at least partially controlled by CU 160. Additionally or alternatively, a protocol stack functional split can be employed between DU 165 and RU 170, such that DU 165 can support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and RU 170 can support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. DU 165 can support one or more different cells (e.g., via one or more RU 170). In some cases, functional decomposition between CU 160 and DU 165, or between DU 165 and RU 170, can be performed within the protocol layer (e.g., some functions of the protocol layer can be performed by one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer can be performed by different of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170). CU 160 can be further functionally decomposed into CU control plane (CU-CP) functions and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. CU 160 can be connected to one or more DU 165 via midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., F1, F1-c, F1-u), and DU 165 can be connected to one or more RU 170 via fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, the midhaul communication link 162 or the fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented based on the interfaces (e.g., channels) between the layers of the protocol stack, which are supported by the corresponding network entities 105 communicating via such communication links.

[0047] In a wireless communication system (e.g., wireless communication system 100), the infrastructure and spectrum resources for radio access can support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, thereby providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more network entities 105 (e.g., IAB node 104) may be partially controlled by each other. One or more IAB nodes 104 may be referred to as donor entities or IAB donors. One or more DU 165s or one or more RU 170s may be partially controlled by one or more CU 160s associated with donor network entity 105 (e.g., donor base station 140). One or more donor network entities 105 (e.g., IAB donors) may communicate with one or more additional network entities 105 (e.g., IAB node 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication link 120). IAB node 104 may include an IAB mobile terminal (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by a DU 165 of a coupled IAB donor. The IAB-MT may include a separate set of antennas for relaying communication with UE 115, or may share the same antennas (e.g., those of RU 170) for access to IAB node 104 via DU 165 of IAB node 104. (e.g., referred to as a virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, IAB node 104 may include a DU 165 that supports communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node 104, UE 115) within a relay chain or configuration (e.g., downstream) of the access network. In such cases, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., one or more IAB nodes 104 or components of IAB node 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0048] In some examples of decomposed RAN architectures, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture may be configured to support interference-based reporting using CMR sets as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by UE 115 or network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) may additionally or alternatively be performed by one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., IAB node 104, DU 165, CU 160, RU 170, RIC 175, SMO 180).

[0049] UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or any other suitable term, wherein "device" may also be referred to as a cell, station, terminal, or client, etc. UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, Internet of Things (IoT) device, Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or machine-type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0050] The UE 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115 that sometimes act as relays, network entities 105, and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 As shown.

[0051] UE 115 and network entity 105 can wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term "carrier" can refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting communication link 125. For example, a carrier for communication link 125 may include a portion of the RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) operating according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling coordinating carrier operation, user data, or other signaling. Wireless communication system 100 may support communication with UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, UE 115 may be configured to utilize multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation can be used in conjunction with both frequency division duplex (FDD) component carriers and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers. Communication between network entity 105 and other devices can refer to communication between these devices and any part of network entity 105 (e.g., entity, sub-entity). For example, the terms “send,” “receive,” or “communicate” when referring to network entity 105 can refer to any part of the RAN’s network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, CU 160, DU 165, RU 170) communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities 105).

[0052] In some examples, such as in carrier aggregation configurations, a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling to coordinate the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute RF Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be identified according to a channel grating used for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in standalone mode, in which case initial acquisition and connection can be performed by UE 115 via that carrier, or the carrier may operate in non-standalone mode, in which case different carriers (e.g., the same or different radio access technologies) are used to anchor the connection.

[0053] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include downlink transmission (e.g., forward link transmission) from network entity 105 to UE 115, uplink transmission (e.g., return link transmission) from UE 115 to network entity 105, or both, as well as other transmission configurations. A carrier may carry downlink communication or uplink communication (e.g., in FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink and uplink communication (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0054] A carrier may be associated with a specific bandwidth of the RF spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the carrier or the “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one bandwidth in a set of bandwidths for a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz). Devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., network entity 105, UE 115, or both) may have hardware configurations that support communication using a specific carrier bandwidth, or may be configured to support communication using one carrier bandwidth in a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include network entity 105 or UE 115 that supports concurrent communication using carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate using a portion (e.g., subband, BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0055] The signal waveform transmitted via a carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform extended OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM, a resource element may refer to a resource of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, in which case the symbol period and subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the decoding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), such that a relatively high number of resource elements (e.g., in the transmission duration) and a relatively high modulation scheme order correspond to a relatively high communication rate. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of RF spectrum resources, temporal resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity used for communication with UE 115.

[0056] It can support one or more sets of parameters for a carrier, and the set of parameters may include subcarrier spacing ( (and cyclic prefix). A carrier can be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different sets of parameters. In some examples, UE 115 can be configured using multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP of a carrier can be active at a given time, and the communication of UE 115 can be constrained to one or more active BWPs.

[0057] The time interval for network entity 105 or UE 115 can be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, such as the sampling period. seconds, of which It can represent the supported subcarrier spacing, and This can represent the supported Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) size. The time interval of the communication resources can be organized according to radio frames, each with a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame can be identified by a System Frame Number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0058] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may (e.g., in the time domain) be divided into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix appended to each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, time slots may be further divided into multiple micro-time slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., The duration of a symbol period is associated with a (number) sampling period. The duration of a symbol period can depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating frequency band.

[0059] A subframe, time slot, micro-time slot, or symbol can be the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., in the time domain) and can be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the duration of the TTI (e.g., the number of symbol periods in the TTI) can be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 can be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0060] Depending on the technology, carriers can be used to multiplex physical channels for communication. One or more of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques can be used, for example, to multiplex physical control channels and physical data channels for signaling via a downlink carrier. The control region (e.g., control resource set (CORESET)) of the physical control channel can be defined by a set of symbol periods and can extend across the system bandwidth of the carrier or a subset of that bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESET) can be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs in UE 115 can monitor or search for control regions to obtain control information based on one or more search space sets, and each search space set can include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a concatenated manner. The aggregation level of control channel candidates can refer to the amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space set may include: a common search space set configured to transmit control information to multiple UEs 115, and a UE-specific search space set used to transmit control information to a specific UE 115.

[0061] In some examples, network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) may be mobile, and thus provide communication coverage to mobile coverage areas 110. In some examples, different coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same network entity 105. In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of network entities 105 use the same or different radio access technologies to provide coverage for various coverage areas 110.

[0062] Wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication, or various combinations thereof. For example, wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable or low-latency or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communication may include private or group communication and may be supported by one or more services, such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general business applications. The terms “ultra-reliable,” “low-latency,” and “ultra-reliable low-latency” are used interchangeably herein.

[0063] In some examples, UE 115 may be configured to support direct communication with other UE 115s via device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., according to peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocols). In some examples, one or more UE 115s performing D2D communication in a group may be within the coverage area 110 of network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communication configured (e.g., scheduled by network entity 105). In some examples, one or more UE 115s in such a group may be outside the coverage area 110 of network entity 105, or may otherwise be unable or not configured to receive transmissions from network entity 105. In some examples, the group of UE 115s communicating via D2D communication may support a one-to-many (1:M) system, where each UE 115 transmits to each of the other UE 115s in the group. In some examples, network entity 105 may facilitate the scheduling of resources used for D2D communication. In other examples, D2D communication may be performed between UEs 115 without involving network entity 105.

[0064] Core network 130 provides user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. Core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to external networks. The control plane entity manages non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) associated with core network 130. User IP packets can be delivered through the user plane entity, which provides IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may connect to one or more network operator IP services 150. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, intranets, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0065] Wireless communication system 100 can operate using one or more frequency bands in the range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz. Generally, the area from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band or decimeter band because the wavelength range is approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features (which may be referred to as clusters), but these waves are sufficient to penetrate structures so that macrocells can provide service to UE 115 located indoors. Compared to communication using smaller frequencies and longer wavelengths in the lower frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz, communication using UHF waves can be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 km).

[0066] The wireless communication system 100 can also operate in the ultra-high frequency (SHF) region (also known as the centimeter band) in the range of 3 GHz to 30 GHz or in the extremely high frequency (EHF) region (e.g., 30 GHz to 300 GHz) (also known as the millimeter band) using the spectrum. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 can support millimeter-wave (mmW) communication between the UE 115 and network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170), and the EHF antennas of the corresponding devices can be smaller and more closely spaced than UHF antennas. In some examples, such techniques facilitate the use of antenna arrays within the device. However, compared to SHF or UHF transmission, EHF transmission may experience even greater attenuation and a shorter range. The techniques disclosed herein can be adopted for transmission across one or more different frequency regions, and the frequency band usage specified across these frequency regions may vary by country or regulatory authority.

[0067] Wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, wireless communication system 100 may use unlicensed bands (such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band) to employ Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), LTE Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology. When operating with unlicensed RF spectrum, devices such as network entity 105 and UE 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation using unlicensed bands may be combined with component carriers operating with licensed bands based on carrier aggregation configurations (e.g., LAA). Operation using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmission, uplink transmission, P2P transmission, or D2D transmission, etc.

[0068] Network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, or beamforming. The antennas of network entity 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which can support MIMO operation or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly (such as an antenna tower). In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with network entity 105 may be located at different geographical locations. Network entity 105 may include an antenna array having a collection of multiple rows and columns of antenna ports that network entity 105 can use to support beamforming for communication with UE 115. Similarly, UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support RF beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0069] Network entity 105 or UE 115 may use MIMO communication to leverage multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. This technique may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. The multiple signals may be transmitted, for example, by a transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, the multiple signals may be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry information associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include: single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), for which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device; and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), for which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0070] Beamforming (also known as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., network entity 105, UE 115) to shape or guide an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting and receiving devices. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals transmitted via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating along a specific orientation relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to the signals transmitted via the antenna elements may include applying amplitude shifts, phase shifts, or both to the signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of these antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a specific orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting or receiving device or relative to some other orientation).

[0071] Network entity 105 or UE 115 may use beam scanning technology as part of beamforming operations. For example, network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform beamforming operations for directional communication with UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted multiple times by network entity 105 in different directions. For example, network entity 105 may transmit signals according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different transmission directions. Transmission along different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device (such as network entity 105) or by a receiving device (such as UE 115)) the beam direction for later transmission or reception by network entity 105.

[0072] Some signals (such as data signals associated with a specific receiving device) may be transmitted by a transmitting device (e.g., transmitting network entity 105, transmitting UE 115) along a single beam direction (e.g., the direction associated with a receiving device (such as receiving network entity 105 or receiving UE 115). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmission along a single beam direction may be determined based on the signals transmitted along one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more signals transmitted by network entity 105 in different directions and may report to network entity 105 an indication of signals received by UE 115 with the highest signal quality or other acceptable signal quality.

[0073] In some examples, transmissions performed by a device (e.g., by network entity 105 or UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital pre-decoding or beamforming to generate combined beams for transmission (e.g., from network entity 105 to UE 115). UE 115 may report feedback indicating pre-decoding weights for one or more beam directions, and this feedback may correspond to a set of beams configured across the system bandwidth or one or more sub-bands. Network entity 105 may transmit reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS)) that may or may not be pre-decoded. UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a pre-decoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., multi-panel codebook, linear combination codebook, port selection codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted by network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) in one or more directions, UE 115 may use similar techniques to transmit signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., to identify the beam direction used by UE 115 for subsequent transmission or reception), or to transmit signals in a single direction (e.g., to transmit data to a receiving device).

[0074] A receiving device (e.g., UE 115) may perform reception operations according to multiple reception configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals (such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) from a transmitting device (e.g., network entity 105). For example, the receiving device may perform reception according to multiple reception directions by: receiving via different antenna subarrays; processing the received signal according to different antenna subarrays; receiving according to different sets of reception beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array (e.g., different directional listening weight sets); or processing the received signal according to different sets of reception beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array. Any of these operations may be referred to as “listening” according to different reception configurations or reception directions. In some examples, the receiving device may use a single reception configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when a data signal is received). A single receiver configuration can be aligned along a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receiver configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or other acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0075] According to the techniques described herein, UE 115 may receive signaling from network entity 105 indicating multiple resources for channel measurement. In some examples, the multiple resources may correspond to a single CMR set. In some other examples, the multiple resources may correspond to multiple CMR sets. UE 115 may select a first set of signal resources for channel measurement from the multiple resources (e.g., a single CMR set). For each signal resource in the set of signal resources, UE 115 may select a corresponding interference resource (e.g., a resource for interfering with channel measurement) from the multiple resources (e.g., a single CMR set), thereby forming a signal and interference resource pair. Therefore, UE 115 can dynamically determine, for example, signal and interference resource pairs from a single CMR set or from multiple CMR sets without configuring an IMR set or any CMR-IMR pair. UE 115 can use the selected signal and interference resource pair to perform measurements (e.g., channel measurements).

[0076] UE 115 may send a report to network entity 105 indicating channel information based on measurements. For example, the report may include spatial or temporal beam predictions based on measurements of signal resources, interference resources, or both, where the beam predictions may be based on AI or ML models. Additionally or alternatively, the report may include a ranking of selected signal and interference resource pairs based on one or more channel metrics (e.g., SINR, CQI) for the signal and interference resource pairs, one or more preferences of UE 115, or some combination thereof. The report may be a CSI report, a MAC-CE report, an RRC message, a user plane data message, or a combination thereof. In some cases, network entity 105 may configure one or more parameters for UE 115 to use for selecting resources (e.g., signal resources, corresponding interference resources), for UE 115 to use for creating (e.g., generating, sending) reports, or both.

[0077] Figure 2An example of a network architecture 200 (e.g., a decomposed base station architecture, a decomposed RAN architecture) supporting interference-based reporting using CMR sets according to one or more aspects of this disclosure is shown. Network architecture 200 may exemplify examples of one or more aspects for implementing wireless communication system 100. Network architecture 200 may include one or more CUs 160-a that can communicate directly with core network 130-a via backhaul communication link 120-a, or indirectly with core network 130-a via one or more decomposed network entities 105 (e.g., near-RT RIC 175-b via an E2 link or a non-RT RIC 175-a associated with SMO 180-a (e.g., an SMO framework) or both). CUs 160-a may communicate with one or more DUs 165-a via a corresponding midhaul communication link 162-a (e.g., an F1 interface). DUs 165-a may communicate with one or more RUs 170-a via a corresponding fronthaul communication link 168-a. RU 170-a may be associated with a corresponding coverage area 110-a and may communicate with UE 115 via one or more communication links 125-a. In some implementations, UE 115 may be served by multiple RU 170-a simultaneously.

[0078] Each network entity in network entity 105 of network architecture 200 (e.g., CU 160-a, DU 165-a, RU170-a, non-RT RIC 175-a, near-RT RIC 175-b, SMO 180-a, Open Cloud (O-Cloud) 205, Open eNB (O-eNB) 210) may include one or more interfaces or may be coupled to one or more interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals (e.g., data, information) via wired or wireless transmission media. Each network entity 105 or an associated processor (e.g., a controller) that provides instructions to the interfaces of network entity 105 may be configured to communicate with one or more network entities in other network entities 105 via transmission media. For example, these network entities 105 may include wired interfaces configured to receive signals or transmit signals to one or more network entities in other network entities 105 via wired transmission media. Additionally or alternatively, network entity 105 may include a wireless interface that may include a receiver, transmitter, or transceiver (e.g., an RF transceiver) configured to receive signals via a wireless transmission medium or to transmit signals to one or more other network entities in network entity 105, or both.

[0079] In some examples, the CU 160-a can host one or more higher-level control functions. Such control functions may include RRC, PDCP, SDAP, etc. Each control function can be implemented using an interface configured to signal to other control functions hosted by the CU 160-a. The CU 160-a can be configured to handle user plane functionalities (e.g., CU-UP), control plane functionalities (e.g., CU-CP), or combinations thereof. In some examples, the CU 160-a 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 bidirectionally with the CU-CP units via an interface such as an E1 interface. The CU 160-a can be implemented to communicate with the DU 165-a for network control and signaling purposes, as needed.

[0080] DU 165-a may correspond to a logical unit comprising one or more functions (e.g., base station functions, RAN functions) for controlling the operation of one or more RU 170-a. In some examples, DU 165-a may at least partially host one or more aspects of the RLC layer, MAC layer, and PHY layer (e.g., high PHY layers, such as modules for FEC encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation and demodulation, etc.), depending at least in part on the functional breakdown, such as those defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). In some examples, DU 165-a may also host one or more low PHY layers. Each layer may be implemented using an interface configured to communicate signaling with other layers hosted by DU 165-a or with control functions hosted by CU 160-a.

[0081] In some examples, lower-layer functionality may be implemented by one or more RU 170-a units. For example, an RU 170-a controlled by a DU 165-a may correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions or low-PHY layer functions (e.g., performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, or both) based at least in part on functional decomposition (such as lower-layer functional decomposition). In such architectures, the RU 170-a may be implemented to handle over-the-air (OTA) communications with one or more UE 115 units. In some specific implementations, the real-time and non-real-time aspects of control plane and user plane communications with the RU 170-a may be controlled by the corresponding DU 165-a unit. In some examples, such configurations enable the implementation of DU 165-a and CU160-a units in cloud-based RAN architectures such as vRAN architectures.

[0082] The SMO 180-a can be configured to support RAN deployment and provisioning of both non-virtualized and virtualized network entities 105. For non-virtualized network entities 105, the SMO 180-a can be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which can be managed via an operation and maintenance interface (e.g., the O1 interface). For virtualized network entities 105, the SMO 180-a can be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (e.g., O-Cloud 205) via a cloud computing platform interface (e.g., the O2 interface) to perform network entity lifecycle management (e.g., to instantiate virtualized network entities 105). Such virtualized network entities 105 may include, but are not limited to, CU 160-a, DU 165-a, RU 170-a, and near-RT RIC 175-b. In some specific implementations, the SMO 180-a can (e.g., via the O1 interface) communicate with components configured according to the 4G RAN. Additionally or alternatively, in some implementations, the SMO 180-a may communicate directly with one or more RU 170-a via the O1 interface. The SMO 180-a may also include a non-RT RIC 175-a configured to support the functionality of the SMO 180-a.

[0083] The non-RT RIC 175-a can be configured to include logical functions enabling non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, including AI or ML workflows for model training and updates, or policy-based guidance for applications / features in the near-RT RIC 175-b. The non-RT RIC 175-a can be coupled to or communicate with the near-RT RIC 175-b (e.g., via an A1 interface). The near-RT RIC 175-b can be configured to include logical functions enabling near real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via data collection and actions on an interface (e.g., via an E2 interface) that connects one or more CU 160-a, one or more DU 165-a, or both, and an O-eNB 210 to the near-RT RIC 175-b.

[0084] In some examples, to generate AI / ML models to be deployed in a near-RT RIC 175-b, a non-RT RIC 175-a may receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server. This information can be utilized by the near-RT RIC 175-b and can be received from non-network data sources or network functions at the SMO 180-a or non-RT RIC 175-a. In some examples, a non-RT RIC 175-a or near-RT RIC 175-b may be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, a non-RT RIC 175-a may monitor long-term trends and patterns in performance and employ AI or ML models to perform corrective actions via the SMO 180-a (e.g., via O1 reconfiguration) or via the generation of RAN management policies such as the A1 policy.

[0085] Based on the techniques described herein, AI or ML models can be used for MU-MIMO interference prediction based on a single CMR set. For example, UE 115 (e.g., as referenced herein). Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described UE 115 can select one or more resources from the CMR set for channel and interference measurements based on the output of an AI or ML model. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 can perform spatial or temporal beam prediction based on the output of an AI or ML model.

[0086] In some cases, network entity 105 may utilize the CMR set to configure UE 115. Additionally or alternatively, network entity 105 or another network entity 105 may request UE 115 to report channel information based on the CMR set. In some cases, network entity 105 or another network entity 105 may receive reports from UE 115 based on channel measurements using the CMR set. Such network entity 105 may be any combination of RU 170-a, DU 165-a, or CU 160-a.

[0087] Figure 3 An example of a wireless communication system 300 that uses an interference-based reporting CMR set in accordance with one or more aspects of this disclosure is shown. In some cases, Figure 3 All aspects can be achieved Figure 1 and Figure 2 These aspects or are achieved through these aspects. For example, Figure 3 Network entity 105 (e.g., network entity 105-a and network entity 105-b) and UE 115-a are shown, which can be respectively as referenced herein. Figure 1 and Figure 2Examples of network entity 105 and UE 115 described herein. Wireless communication system 300 may include UE 115-a, which performs channel measurements based on signal resources and interference resources selected from a CMR set (e.g., a single CMR set). In some cases, UE 115-a may perform channel measurements for beam management procedures (e.g., to determine communication beam pairs to predict channel metrics associated with the beams). UE 115-a may report channel information to network entity 105 (e.g., network entity 105-a, network entity 105-b) based on channel measurements for the CMR set.

[0088] The wireless communication system 300 may include multiple network entities 105 that transmit signaling via one or more beams. In some cases, network entity 105-a and network entity 105-b may be the same network entity 105, different network entities 105, or different components of network entity 105 (e.g., relative to each other). Figure 2 The CU 160, DU 165, RU 170 are described in various aspects. In some cases, the UE 115-a can receive signaling via one or more beams and can perform measurements on signaling corresponding to one or more beams.

[0089] In some cases, UE 115-a may enter an inactive mode (e.g., RRC_IDLE of RRC_INACTIVE). In some such cases, UE 115-a may attempt an initial access procedure, which may include monitoring for SSBs based on beam sweep procedures (e.g., wide beam sweep) at network entity 105 (e.g., network entity 105-b) or at UE 115-a. The initial access procedure may additionally include UE 115-a performing a contention-based random access (CBRA) procedure, including sending at least one RACH message carrying a preamble based on the timing of the SSB via the random access channel (RACH). Based on attempting the initial access procedure, UE 115-a may enter a connected mode (e.g., RRC_CONNECTED).

[0090] In some examples, UE 115-a may perform beam management while operating in connected mode. For example, UE 115-a may perform beam management procedures (e.g., clear-sky beam management) including one or more downlink procedures (e.g., P1 / P2 / P3) using SSB and CSI-RS, one or more uplink procedures (e.g., U1 / U2 / U3) using sounding reference signals (SRS), reporting L1 reference signal received power (RSRP) values, receiving or reporting transmit configuration indicator (TCI) status, or any combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115-a may perform beam management procedures (e.g., enhanced beam management (eBM)) including reporting L1-SINR measurements and performing overhead and latency reduction procedures, such as component carrier group beam updates, uplink beam updates, or both. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115-a may perform beam management procedures (e.g., Further Enhanced Beam Management (FeBM)) including further latency and effectiveness enhancements, such as unified TCI state, L1 / L2-centric mobility, dynamic TCI updates, uplink multifaceted selection, maximum allowed exposure (MPE) mitigation, or other beam management latency reductions. The beam management procedures may additionally or alternatively include beam management for multiple transmit and receive points (mTRPs).

[0091] In some cases, UE 115-a may experience beam faults and may perform a beam fault recovery (BFR) procedure. For example, UE 115-a may perform a BFR procedure, including beam fault detection (BFD) for the primary cell (Pcell) or for both primary and secondary cells (PScell). UE 115-a may detect beam faults based on one or more BFD reference signals, one or more Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) block error rates (BLER), contention-free random access (CFRA) procedures, or any combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115-a may perform a BFR procedure for a secondary cell (SCell) based on BFD for that SCell, a link recovery request (e.g., via a scheduling request (SR)), MAC-CE, or any combination thereof. In some cases, BFD may be based on one or more measurements performed by UE 115-a, and the BFR procedure may allow beam recovery (e.g., relatively fast beam recovery). Alternatively, if UE 115-a fails the BFR procedure, UE 115-a may enter Radio Link Failure (RLF) mode.

[0092] In some cases, AI or ML-based beam management can improve the efficiency and success rate of the beam management process. For example, UE 115-a can use AI or ML models for air interface communications to improve performance, complexity, or both. For instance, UE 115-a can use AI or ML models for beam management (e.g., beam prediction in the time domain, beam prediction in the spatial domain, or both) to reduce overhead and latency and improve beam selection accuracy.

[0093] In some other wireless communication systems, interference measurement procedures (e.g., MU-MIMO interference control) may be suboptimal and / or inefficient. For example, UE 115 may use one or more interference resources associated with the IMR (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS, IMR based on CSI interference measurement (IM)) to determine one or more channel metrics (e.g., L1-SINR, CQI considering interference). In some cases, one or more interference resources may be predetermined or pre-configured by network entity 105. In some examples, UE 115 may use one interference resource at a time for interference-based channel metrics during sequential measurement. Such measurements (e.g., sequential measurements, inter-cell measurements) may be suboptimal because the process may fail to determine the beam pairs used for communication at a global level (e.g., considering multiple different interference resources or interference sources).

[0094] Interference feedback can be measured and reported based on CMR pairs and IMR pairs configured by network entity 105. UE 115 can select a CMR that satisfies an L1-SINR or CQI threshold (e.g., a measurement of the paired IMR is taken into account when calculating interference) to feed back one or more channel metrics (e.g., CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), L1-SINR, CQI) associated with the CMR and IMR pairs. In some cases, measuring and reporting interference feedback in this manner may involve UE 115 comparing or reporting a relatively large number of CMR and IMR pairs. However, each resource set (e.g., a CSI-RS resource set) may have a threshold (e.g., a maximum) number of resources available for CMR, IMR, or both (e.g., 64 resources). In such cases, the interference feedback method may involve multiple resource sets, multiple reports, relatively large reports, a relatively large number of measurements, or any combination thereof, resulting in significant signaling overhead, processing overhead at UE 115, or both.

[0095] In contrast, wireless communication system 300 can support interference-based reporting using a single CMR set (e.g., compared to pre-configured resource pairing between CMR and IMR sets). UE 115-a can perform interference measurement, prediction, or both (e.g., for MU-MIMO systems) based on (e.g., a single) resource set (e.g., a CMR set). In such cases, beamforming from the codebook of network entity 105 can be used for UE 115-a, one or more other UEs (e.g., such as...). Figure 1 The UE 115-a may select (e.g., dynamically select) resources for a beam pair (e.g., signal and interference beam pair) based on the channel metrics corresponding to one or more beams in the codebook measured or predicted by the UE 115-a, and report the results to the network entity 105.

[0096] According to the techniques described herein, UE 115-a can use (e.g., a single) CMR set to perform interference-based reporting (e.g., for L1 reporting based on measurement or prediction). For example, the described techniques allow UE 115-a to receive a request from network entity 105 for transmitting a report including channel information associated with multiple resources. UE 115-a can select a first set of signal resources from a configured set of multiple resources (e.g., CMR sets), which can be used for channel measurement. For each signal resource in the set of signal resources, UE 115-a can select a corresponding interference resource (e.g., a resource for interfering with channel measurement) from multiple resources (e.g., CMR sets), thereby forming a signal and interference resource pair. For example, UE 115-a can select a resource pair including a signal resource corresponding to a first beam 305-a (e.g., a transmit beam) of network entity 105-a and an interference resource corresponding to a second beam 305-b (e.g., a transmit beam) of network entity 105-b. Similarly, UE 115-a may select a resource pair including signal resources corresponding to the third beam 305-c (e.g., transmit beam) of network entity 105-a and interference resources corresponding to the fourth beam 305-d (e.g., transmit beam) of network entity 105-b. UE 115-a may send a report based on measurements (e.g., channel measurements) performed on signaling received via the signal and interference resource pairs.

[0097] Figure 4 An example of a wireless communication system 400 that uses an interference-based reporting CMR set in support of one or more aspects of this disclosure is shown. In some cases, Figure 4 All aspects can be achieved Figures 1 to 3 These aspects or are achieved through these aspects. For example, Figure 4Network entity 105-c and UE 115-b can be shown, and they can be respectively as referenced herein. Figures 1 to 3 Examples of network entity 105 and UE 115 described. Network entity 105-c may utilize resource set 410 (such as CMR) to configure UE 115-b. UE 115-b may use resource set 410 to perform interference-based measurements and send report 420 to network entity 105-c.

[0098] Wireless communication system 400 may include network entity 105-c communicating with UE 115-b. For example, network entity 105-c may transmit signaling via one or more beams 405, which in some cases may correspond to one or more resources 415 in resource set 410 (e.g., resources 415-a, 415-b, 415-c, 415-d, and 415-e). Resource set 410 may include any number and configuration of resources 415. For example, resources 415 in resource set 410 may correspond to the same or different frequency resources, the same or different time resources, the same or different spatial resources (e.g., corresponding to the same or different beams), or any combination thereof. Additionally, UE 115-b may send a report 420 to network entity 105-c, which may indicate one or more resource sets (e.g., signal resource set 425-a and interference resource set 425-b), one or more signal and interference resource pairs, one or more channel metrics 435, other channel measurement information, or any combination thereof.

[0099] Resource 415 in resource set 410 may be a CMR. For example, network entity 105-c may use a CMR set (e.g., resource set 410) for channel measurements to configure UE 115-b. In some cases, network entity 105-c may avoid using an IMR set (e.g., a corresponding IMR set for performing interference measurements associated with the CMR set) to configure UE 115-b. In some cases, resource 415 in resource set 410 may come from a single CMR set. In some other cases, resource 415 in resource set 410 may come from more than one CMR set. In some cases, resource 415 may be an SSB resource, a CSI-RS resource, or an example of both. For example, network entity 105-c may transmit SSB or CSI-RS via resource 415 in resource set 410 (e.g., in frequency range, at timing, and using a spatial filter corresponding to resource 415). Additionally or alternatively, resource 415 may be a virtual resource (e.g., for beam prediction-based methods). For example, UE 115-b can predict channel metrics for virtual resources, rather than receiving and measuring signals via virtual resources.

[0100] According to the techniques described herein, UE 115-b may send report 420 (e.g., perform L1 reporting) based on resource pairing (e.g., beam pairing) performed at UE 115-b (e.g., within a MU-MIMO system). For example, network entity 105-c may request UE 115-b to send report 420 (e.g., CSI report or other type of message), wherein report 420 may be associated with resource set 410.

[0101] Additionally or alternatively, the content 440 of report 420 (e.g., the number of reports) may be based on one or more resource sets selected by UE 115-b. For example, UE 115-b may select a first number of resources from resource set 410 to be included in signal resource set 425-a. In some cases, signal resource set 425-a may include resources 415 to be considered for channel measurements (e.g., signal components of channel measurements). Such resources 415 in resource set 425-a may be referred to as “signal” resources. For example, UE 115-b may select resources 415-a, 415-b, and 415-c to be included in resource set 425-a.

[0102] Additionally or alternatively, the content 440 of report 420 may be based on one or more resource pairs 430 selected (e.g., generated, configured) by UE 115-b. For example, for the first k Resources, in resource set 425-a (For example, where) ,in (This is the first number of resources 415 selected in signal resource set 425-a), UE 115-b can select resources 415 (e.g., interference resources) from resource set 410. As to the first k Interfering resources in resource pairing. In other words, resources Can be considered as related to resources (For example, signal components) associated with interference components. In some cases, resources and resources It should be a different resource 415 in resource set 410 (e.g., CMR set). In some cases, resources It can be in resource set 410 and resources The same resource 415, of which or resources It can be in resource set 410 and resources Different resources 415. For example, UE 115-b may select the same resource 415 from resource set 410 as an interference component of multiple different signal resources. The resource 415 selected by UE 115-b to be included in the interference resource set 425-b may be referred to as an "interference" resource.

[0103] For example, UE 115-b may select resources 415-a, 415-b, and 415-c to be included in resource set 425-a. According to the techniques described herein, for a first signaling resource (e.g., resource 415-a) in resource set 425-a, UE 115-b may select a first interfering resource (e.g., resource 415-d) to be included in resource set 425-b. Similarly, UE 115-b may select an interfering resource (e.g., resource 415-e) for each remaining signaling resource (e.g., resources 415-b and 415-c) in resource set 425-a to be included in resource set 425-b. As an example, UE 115-b may select the same resource 415-e for resources 415-b and 415-c in resource set 425-a to be included in resource set 425-b. Therefore, UE 115-b can dynamically select signal and interference resource pairs for channel measurements from a single resource set 410 (e.g., a single CMR set).

[0104] In some cases, interference resources in resource set 425-b and corresponding signal resources in resource set 425-a can form resource pair 430. For example, resource 415-e can be selected for inclusion in resource set 425-b for use with corresponding resource 425-c in resource set 415-a, and therefore resources 415-c and 415-e can be part of resource pair 430 (e.g., a signal and interference resource pair). UE 115-b can be selected from resource set 410. There are two resource pairs 430, where one resource in each resource pair 430 corresponds to a signal component used for channel measurement, and the other resource in the resource pair corresponds to an interference component used for channel measurement. The resource 415 within the resource pair 430 may be referred to as the corresponding resource (e.g., the corresponding signal resource, the corresponding interference resource).

[0105] In some cases, the content 440 of report 420 may include indications of resource sets 425-a and 425-b, resource pairs 430, resources 415 in the resource sets, or any combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the content 440 of report 420 may include one or more channel metrics 435 (e.g., channel characteristic metrics, CSI measurements) associated with resource pairs 430, resources 415, or both. For example, one or more channel metrics 435 may include L1-RSRP measurements associated with one or more resources 415 in resource set 425-a, one or more resources 415 in resource set 425-b, one or more resource pairs in resource pairs 430, or any combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, one or more channel metrics 435 may include L1-SINR, CQI, or both associated with one or more resource pairs in resource pair 430, wherein the signal components (e.g., signal strength) of L1-SINR, CQI, or both may be identified (e.g., measured) based on the signal resources in resource pair 430 (e.g., resource 415 in resource set 425-a of resource pair 430), and the interference components (e.g., interference strength) of L1-SINR, CQI, or both may be identified based on the interference resources in resource pair 430 (e.g., resource 415 in resource set 425-b of resource pair 430).

[0106] In some cases, UE 115-b may use one or more reporting schemes or reporting message formats to reduce reporting overhead associated with report 420 (e.g., processing overhead and channel overhead at UE 115-b). For example, a first reporting scheme may include UE 115-b selecting multiple (e.g., different) resources 415 to include in resource set 425-a, and selecting a single resource 415 to include in resource set 425-b (e.g., selecting the same interference resource for each signal resource in resource set 425-a). Using the same interference resource for each resource pair in resource pair 430 can improve the processing overhead associated with channel measurements at UE 115-b, thereby correspondingly improving the battery life of UE 115-b. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115-b may improve channel overhead based on signaling information in the content 440 of report 420 related to the single interference resource selected for each resource pair 430.

[0107] The second reporting scheme may include UE 115-b reporting (e.g., included in content 440 of report 420) differential channel metrics (e.g., differential values) associated with the interfering resource. For example, UE 115-b may measure a channel metric value for resource 415 in interfering resource set 425-b. UE 115-b may report the channel metric value for the interfering resource as a differential value relative to the channel metric of a paired signaling resource (e.g., the corresponding resource 415 in resource set 425-a). For example, UE 115-b may report an interfering channel metric (e.g., L1-RSRP, CQI, or another channel metric) for resource 415 in resource set 425-b (e.g., resource 415-e). According to the second reporting scheme, UE 115-b can report the interference channel metric as a difference (e.g., L1-RSRP, CQI, or another channel metric) between the interference channel metric and the signal channel metric (e.g., L1-RSRP, CQI, or another channel metric) for the corresponding resource 415 (e.g., resource 415-c) in resource set 425-a. The device receiving report 420 (such as network entity 105-c) can determine the channel metric for the signal resource (e.g., resource 415-c) and can determine the channel metric for the corresponding interference resource (e.g., resource 415-e) based on the determined channel metric for the signal resource and the difference between the channel metric and the corresponding interference resource. In some cases, UE 115-b may use 2 or 3 bits to report the differential channel metric. Additionally or alternatively, the first quantization step size, first quantization range, or both (e.g., which may be predefined or configured by network entity 105-c) associated with the differential channel metric may differ from the second quantization step size, second quantization range, or both associated with the L1-RSRP report (e.g., differential L1-RSRP report) for the signaling resource (e.g., resource 415 in resource set 425-a). For example, UE 115-b can improve the overhead associated with report 420 by reducing the granularity of the differential values ​​used to report the channel metric for the interference resource compared to the differential values ​​used to report the channel metric for the signaling resource.

[0108] In some cases, the content 440 of report 420 may include a ranking of resource pairs 430. In some examples (e.g., if L1-RSRP or L1-SINR is not addressed for resource pairs 430), the ranking may be based on the order (e.g., rising, falling) of derived channel metrics (e.g., L1-SINR, CQI, or both) associated with each resource pair 430. Additionally or alternatively, the ranking may be based on the order of one or more other preferences (e.g., one or more UE-autonomous preferences) of UE 115-b associated with resource pairs 430. For example, one or more other preferences may be associated with using a relatively wide receive beam at UE 115-b to achieve energy savings, such that in report 420, resource pairs 430 corresponding to relatively wide receive beams may be ranked higher than resource pairs 430 corresponding to relatively narrow receive beams.

[0109] In some cases, such reporting schemes, rankings, or both may be used for CSI reports, MAC-CE reports, RRC reports, user plane data reports, or any combination of these or other message types (e.g., for time beam prediction or for data collection, as described herein).

[0110] In some cases, network entity 105-c may indicate one or more selection parameters to UE 115-b, wherein UE 115-b may select resource 415 from resource set 410 for resource set 425-a, resource set 425-b, or both, based on the selection parameters. As an example, a first selection parameter may include a threshold strength difference between a signal channel metric for a signaling resource and an interference channel metric for a corresponding interfering resource. For example, based on the first selection parameter, UE 115-b may select resource 415-e to be included in resource set 425-b for pairing with resource 415-b based on the difference between the interference channel metric of resource 415-e and the signal channel metric of resource 415-b satisfying (e.g., greater than) the threshold strength difference. For example, the first selection parameter may configure the L1-RSRP for signaling resource 415 and the L1-RSRP for corresponding interfering resource 415. The threshold strength difference in decibels (dB). UE 115-b can select the corresponding interference resource 415 from the resource set 410 that satisfies the threshold strength difference for signal resource 415.

[0111] As another example, the second selection parameter may include a threshold strength value for a channel metric associated with the signal component and the corresponding interference component. For example, based on the second selection parameter, UE 115-b may select resource 415-d to be included in resource set 425-b to pair with resource 415-a based on the channel metric (e.g., derived L1-SINR) of resource pair 430, which includes signal resource 415-a and interference resource 415-d, satisfying (e.g., stronger than) the threshold strength value. For example, the second selection parameter may be configured for an L1-SINR value determined for resource pair 430. The threshold strength value in dB. UE 115-b can select the corresponding interference resource 415 from the resource set 410, forming resource pairs 430 that satisfy the threshold strength value, for signal resource 415. Additionally or alternatively, network entity 105-c can configure any other selection parameters for UE 115-b. In some cases, UE 115-b can determine or store one or more selection parameters (e.g., independently of network entity 105-c).

[0112] In some cases, UE 115-b may indicate to network entity 105-c one or more reserved bits (e.g., reserved positions) associated with the selection of resource 415 for a resource set. For example, UE 115-b may determine that one or more selection parameters for selecting a corresponding interference resource 415 have not been met for a signal resource 415 in resource set 425-a. In such an example, the content 440 of report 420 may include one or more reserved bits that may indicate that, based on the determined failure to meet one or more selection parameters, the signal resource 415 in resource set 425-a is unpaired (e.g., does not have a corresponding resource 415 in resource set 425-b). For example, for a signal resource 415 selected from resource set 410, UE 115-b may fail to determine from resource set 410 an interference resource 415 that meets one or more selection parameters. In some such examples, UE 115-b may avoid reporting information related to the selected signal resource 415 in report 420. In some other examples of this kind, UE 115-b may report signaling information associated with the selected signaling resource 415 (e.g., a subset of information, such as the RSRP value of signaling resource 415), and may include one or more bits indicating reserved bit values ​​to signal that the selected signaling resource 415 is not paired with the corresponding interfering resource 415. In some cases, UE 115-b may avoid including interference-based channel metrics for the selected signaling resource 415 in report 420.

[0113] In some cases, network entity 105-c may configure (e.g., indicate in a configuration message or signaling) the content 440 of report 420. For example, network entity 105-c may configure the content 440 via reporting settings (e.g., CSI reporting settings). The reporting settings associated with a request for report 420 may indicate resource sets, resource pairs 430, one or more channel metrics 435, other information as described herein, or any configuration thereof, to be included in the content 440 of report 420. Additionally or alternatively, some or all of the information to be included in the content 440 of report 420 may be configured by reporting settings associated with aperiodic (AP) reporting settings (e.g., AP CSI reporting settings) (e.g., CCSI-AssociatedReportConfigInfo), or indicated by MAC-CE activating semi-persistent (SP) reporting (e.g., SP CSI reporting). Additionally or alternatively, some or all of the information to be included in the content 440 of report 420 may be predefined (e.g., predefined at UE 115-b).

[0114] In some examples, network entity 105-c may configure content 440 of report 420 to indicate resource pairs 430 (e.g., selected signal and interference resource pairs). Additionally or alternatively, network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to include channel metrics (e.g., L1-RSRP, L1-SINR) associated with resource 415 of resource set 425-a, resource set 425-b, or both. Additionally or alternatively, network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to include channel metrics for resource 415 or resource pair 430 that satisfy (e.g., greater than) a channel metric value threshold, or to include a number of threshold values ​​associated with resource 415 or resource pair 430. N Channel metrics (e.g., Highest channel metric The strongest channel metric, or some other Channel metric), where N It can be predefined or included in the report settings.

[0115] As another example, network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to include spatial beam prediction, temporal beam prediction, or both, as described herein. In some cases (e.g., if UE 115-b considers temporal prediction), network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to indicate one or more future temporal timings associated with one or more resource pairs 430 (e.g., predicted resource pairs). In some cases (e.g., if spatial prediction is considered), network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to include one or more additional measurement resources associated with identifying prediction results.

[0116] As yet another example, network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to include information associated with a channel metric or one or more selection parameters. For example, network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to include a quantization step size, quantization range, or both associated with reporting one or more channel metrics (e.g., using differential values), as described herein. Additionally or alternatively, network entity 105-c may configure content 440 to include a threshold strength difference, a threshold strength value, or some combination of these or other selection parameters used to select resource pair 430, as described herein.

[0117] UE 115-b may send report 420 to network entity 105-c. In some cases, UE 115-b may send report 420 periodically or on a schedule. In other cases, UE 115-b may send report 420 on trigger or as needed (e.g., dynamic signaling supporting report 420). Network entity 105-c (or another network entity 105) and UE 115-b may communicate based on interference-based channel information indicated in report 420. For example, in some cases, network entity 105-c, UE 115-b, or both may select one or more beams 405 for communication (e.g., downlink transmit beam, downlink receive beam, uplink transmit beam, uplink receive beam, sidelink beam) based on report 420.

[0118] Figure 5 Examples of a prediction scheme 500 based on interference reporting using CMR sets, supported by one or more aspects of this disclosure, are shown. In some cases, Figure 5 All aspects can be achieved Figures 1 to 4 These aspects or are achieved through these aspects. For example, Figure 5 Network entities 105 (e.g., network entity 105-d and network entity 105-e) are shown, which can be as described herein with respect to... Figures 1 to 4 An example of the described network entity 105. Additionally, Figure 5 Resource sets 510 (e.g., resource sets 510-a and 510-b) and 515 (e.g., resource sets 515-a and 515-b) are shown, which can be respectively as described herein with respect to Figure 4 Examples of resource sets 410 and 415 are described. Network entities 105-d and 105-e may support temporal beam prediction, spatial beam prediction, or both at UE 115 (not shown).

[0119] Prediction scheme 500 may include one or more of time prediction 525 (e.g., time beam prediction) and spatial prediction 520 (e.g., space beam prediction). In some cases, prediction scheme 500 may include a joint spatial and time prediction scheme 505. UE 115 (e.g., as described herein with respect to...) Figure 4 The described UE 115-b) may determine one or more of time prediction 525 and spatial prediction 520 as part of a joint spatial and time prediction scheme 505. In some cases, UE 115 may determine one or more of spatial prediction 520 and time prediction 525 based on AI or ML models. In some cases, network entity 105-d and network entity 105-e may be the same or different network entity 105.

[0120] UE 115 may send reports that include or are based on one or more measurements or predictions (e.g., such as this article relative to...). Figure 4 The report described herein (420). For example, as described herein, UE 115 may determine the content of the report based on one or more channel measurements of resource 515 (e.g., as described herein relative to...). Figure 4 (Described content 440). UE 115 may report direct measurements of actual resource 515 (e.g., measurements of signaling transmitted via resource 515, such as SSB, CSI-RS, or other signaling), predictive measurements of virtual resource 515, or some combination thereof. For example, according to the techniques described herein, UE 115 may select one or more resources 515 from resource set 510-b to include in the set of signaling resources (e.g., such as those described herein relative to...). Figure 4 The resource set 425-a is described, and one or more resources 515 are selected from resource set 510-b to be included in the corresponding set of interfering resources (e.g., such as those described herein relative to...). Figure 4 The resource set 425-b is described. In some cases, resource 515 in resource set 510-a, resource set 510-b, or both can be a virtual resource.

[0121] In some cases (e.g., if UE 115 performs time beam prediction), the reported content may be associated with one or more time predictions 525. For example, at a first time-domain timing 530, UE 115 may measure resources in resource set 510-b (e.g., first time and frequency resources). UE 115 may predict one or more channel metrics for future time-domain timings based on one or more measurements at the first time-domain timing 530. For example, UE 115 may receive a signal at the first time-domain timing 530 via a first communication beam (e.g., a first downlink transmit beam, a first downlink receive beam, or a first downlink beam pair) and may predict one or more channel metrics for the same communication beam at subsequent timings (e.g., corresponding to time prediction 525). In some cases, this prediction may be based on an AI or ML model. For example, UE 115 may input the measured channel metrics and timing information into a trained model (e.g., a neural network or other model), and the model may output predicted channel metrics for future timings. UE 115 may send a report including or based on the predicted channel metrics. For example, the report may include indications of one or more time forecasts.

[0122] Additionally or alternatively (e.g., if UE 115 performs spatial beam prediction), the reported content may be associated with one or more spatial predictions 520. Spatial prediction 520 may use one or more channel metrics for a first beam 535-a to predict one or more channel metrics for a second, different beam 535-b. For example, UE 115 may measure signaling transmitted via resource 515 (e.g., resource 515-a) in resource set 510-a, where resource 515-a in resource set 510-a may correspond to the first beam 535-a (e.g., the signaling may be transmitted via the first beam 535-a). Beam 535-a may be associated with one or more first spatial transmission filters, which may be different from one or more second spatial transmission filters associated with the second beam 535-b. To support spatial prediction 520, UE 115 may predict one or more channel metrics for a second beam 535-b (e.g., corresponding to resource 515-b in resource set 510-b) based on one or more channel metrics measured for a first beam 535-a (e.g., corresponding to resource 515-a in resource set 510-a). In some cases, this prediction may be based on an AI or ML model. For example, UE 115 may input the channel metrics and spatial information of the measurements corresponding to the first beam 535-a into a trained model (e.g., a neural network or other model), and the model may output predicted channel metrics for the second beam 535-b corresponding to different spatial information. In some cases, the second beam 535-b may be relatively narrower than the first beam 535-a, relatively wider than the first beam 535-a, correspond to a different direction than the first beam 535-a, or some combination thereof.

[0123] In some cases, the report may include information relating to both the spatial prediction 520 and the temporal prediction 525 according to the joint spatial prediction scheme 505. For example, the report may include a temporal prediction 525 corresponding to a first resource 515 and a spatial prediction 520 corresponding to a second resource 515. In another example, the report may include both a temporal prediction 525 and a spatial prediction 520 for resource 515. In yet another example, the report may include a temporal prediction 525 for spatial prediction 520, and vice versa, such that the predictions are based on measurements of different resources 515 in both the temporal and spatial domains.

[0124] Figure 6 An example of a process flow 600 for interference-based reporting using a CMR set, supported by one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. In some cases, Figure 6 All aspects can be achieved Figures 1 to 5 These aspects or are achieved through these aspects. For example, Figure 6Network entity 105-f and UE 115-c are shown, which can be respectively as described in this article relative to... Figures 1 to 5 Examples of network entity 105 and UE 115 described. UE 115-c may perform interference-based measurements based on a set of CRMs (e.g., a single CMR set) and report channel information (e.g., CSI) to network entity 105-f.

[0125] In the following description of process flow 600, operations may be performed in a different order than those shown, or other operations may be added to or removed from process flow 600. For example, some operations may be omitted from process flow 600, some operations may be performed in a different order or at different times, or other operations may be added to process flow 600. Although UE 115-c and network entity 105-f are shown as performing operations of process flow 600, some aspects of some operations may also be performed by one or more other wireless devices or network devices.

[0126] At position 605, network entity 105-f can send report configuration to UE 115-c. As described herein, the report configuration can configure various aspects of the channel measurement reports performed by UE 115-c. For example, the report configuration can configure the content of the reports to be sent by UE 115-c to network entity 105-f (e.g., such as those described herein relative to...). Figure 4 The content of report 420 described is 440). In some cases, the configured report can be a CSI report, MAC-CE, RRC message, or user plane data message. In some cases, the report configuration can be an example or component of RRC message, MAC-CE, downlink control information (DCI) message, or some combination thereof.

[0127] At 610, network entity 105-f may send a report request to UE 115-c. In some cases, the report request may request a report that can be configured at least in part by the report configuration (e.g., such as those described herein relative to...). Figure 4 The report described is 420. In some cases, report configuration may be included in the report request. Additionally or alternatively, report configuration or report request may direct one or more resources in a set of resources (e.g., such as those mentioned above relative to this document). Figure 4 The resources in the described resource set 410 (resource 415) can be one or more CMR sets (e.g., and not from an IMR set). That is, network entity 105-f can indicate the CMR set to UE 115-c for UE 115-c to use for channel and interference measurements. The report request can request a single report or multiple report transmissions (e.g., based on report periodicity, semi-persistent reporting, one or more report triggers, or any combination thereof).

[0128] At 615, and as this article relates to... Figure 4 As described, UE 115-c can select one or more resources from a resource set (e.g., a CMR set) to associate with channel measurements. For example, UE 115-c can select one or more resources from the resource set to include in a signal resource set (e.g., such as those described herein relative to...). Figure 4 The resource set described is 425-a), wherein each resource in the signal resource set may be different from every other resource in the signal resource set. Additionally or alternatively, UE115-c may select a corresponding second resource in the resource set (e.g., the CMR set) for a first resource in the signal resource set to include it in the interference resource set (e.g., such as those described herein relative to...). Figure 4 The resource set described is 425-b).

[0129] The first and second resources can form resource pairs (e.g., such as those mentioned in this article relative to...). Figure 4 The described resource pair 430). The first resource and the second resource can be different resources in a resource set (e.g., a single CMR set). In some cases, the UE 115-c can select resources based on one or more selection parameters (e.g., indicated to the UE 115-c or configured at the UE 115-c).

[0130] At 620, and as described herein, UE 115-c may obtain one or more channel metrics associated with resources in a signal resource set, resources in an interference resource set, resource pairs, or any combination thereof. For example, UE 115-c may perform channel measurements to determine one or more RSRPs (e.g., L1-RSRPs), CQIs, SINRs (e.g., L1-SINRSs), or any combination thereof associated with selected resources. In some cases, UE 115-c may perform one or more predictions, including temporal predictions (e.g., temporal beam prediction), spatial predictions (e.g., spatial beam prediction), or both, wherein these predictions may be based on a signal resource set, an interference resource set, another resource set, or any combination thereof.

[0131] At 625, UE 115-c may send a report including content based on the selected resources. For example, this content may be generated by UE 115-c based on a report configuration received at 605, a report request received at 610, or both. As an example, the report content may indicate one or more resources in a signaling resource set, one or more resources in an interfering resource set, one or more resource pairs, one or more channel metrics associated with the signaling resource set and the interfering resource set, other channel measurement information, or any combination thereof.

[0132] In some cases, the content of a report can be modified according to a scheme or configuration indicated by the report configuration, report request, pre-configured configuration, or any combination thereof. For example, the content of a report can follow one or more schemes to reduce the signaling overhead associated with the report.

[0133] Figure 7 A block diagram 700 of a device 705 supporting interference-based reporting using CMR sets according to one or more aspects of this disclosure is shown. Device 705 may be an example of various aspects of UE 115 as described herein. Device 705 may include a receiver 710, a transmitter 715, and a communication manager 720.

Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0134] Receiver 710 may provide components for receiving information (such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof) associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels related to interference-based reporting using CMR sets). The information may be delivered to other components of device 705. Receiver 710 may utilize a single antenna or a collection of antennas.

[0135] Transmitter 715 may provide components for transmitting signals generated by other components of device 705. For example, transmitter 715 may transmit information (such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof) associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels related to interference-based reporting using CMR sets). In some examples, transmitter 715 may be co-located with receiver 710 in a transceiver module. Transmitter 715 may utilize a single antenna or a collection of multiple antennas.

[0136] The communication manager 720, receiver 710, transmitter 715, or various combinations thereof, or various components thereof, may be examples of components used to perform various aspects of interference-based reporting using CMR sets as described herein. For example, the communication manager 720, receiver 710, transmitter 715, or various combinations thereof, or components thereof, may be able to perform one or more of the functions described herein.

[0137] In some examples, the communication manager 720, receiver 710, transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in hardware (e.g., in communication management circuitry). The hardware may include at least one of the following: a processor, digital signal processor (DSP), central processing unit (CPU), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, microcontroller, discrete gate or transistor logic device, discrete hardware component, or any combination thereof, configured as or otherwise individually or collectively to support components for performing the functions described herein. In some examples, at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to said at least one processor may be configured to perform one or more of the functions described herein (e.g., instructions stored in at least one memory are executed individually or collectively by one or more processors).

[0138] Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 720, receiver 710, transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in code (e.g., as communication management software or firmware) executed by at least one processor. If implemented in code executed by at least one processor, the functionality of the communication manager 720, receiver 710, transmitter 715, or various combinations or components thereof may be performed by any combination of a general-purpose processor, DSP, CPU, ASIC, FPGA, microcontroller, or these or other programmable logic devices (e.g., configured as or otherwise individually or collectively to support components for performing the functions described in this disclosure).

[0139] In some examples, the communication manager 720 may be configured to use or otherwise cooperate with the receiver 710, transmitter 715, or both to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, acquiring, monitoring, outputting, transmitting). For example, the communication manager 720 may receive information from the receiver 710, transmit information to the transmitter 715, or be integrated in combination with the receiver 710, transmitter 715, or both to acquire information, output information, or perform various other operations as described herein.

[0140] The communication manager 720 may support wireless communication according to examples disclosed herein. For example, the communication manager 720 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support components for receiving signaling indicating a set of multiple resources associated with a single CMR set, the set of multiple resources including one or more SSB resources, one or more NZP-CSI-RS resources, or any combination thereof. The communication manager 720 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support components for: selecting a first resource from the set of multiple resources for channel measurement, and selecting a second resource from the set of multiple resources for interference measurement, the first resource being different from the second resource. The communication manager 720 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support components for transmitting reports based on a first measurement of the first resource corresponding to a signal component of the channel metric and a second measurement of the second resource corresponding to an interference component of the channel metric.

[0141] By including or configuring a communication manager 720 according to examples as described herein, device 705 (e.g., controlling receiver 710, transmitter 715, communication manager 720, or combinations thereof, or at least one processor otherwise coupled to them) can support techniques for more efficient utilization of communication resources. For example, the techniques described herein can support processor improvements in processing overhead associated with interference-based reporting. For instance, based on dynamically determining signal and interference resource pairs from a CMR set, device 705 can reduce the number of measurements performed on resources used for reporting (e.g., for CSI reporting). Additionally or alternatively, device 705 can reduce processing overhead associated with channel measurements based on selecting the same interference resource for multiple signal and interference resource pairs, reduce processing overhead associated with report generation based on using one or more parameters to select resources for signal and interference resource pairs, or both. Processors can improve processing overhead and reduce the number of processing resources used for interference-based reporting according to the techniques described herein.

[0155] Figure 10A diagram of a system 1000 including device 1005 supporting interference-based reporting using CMR sets, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. Device 1005 may be an example of device 705, device 805, or UE 115 as described herein, or may include components thereof. Device 1005 may communicate with one or more network entities 105, one or more UEs 115, or any combination thereof (e.g., wirelessly).

[0156] I / O controller 1010 manages the input and output signals of device 1005. I / O controller 1010 can also manage peripheral devices not integrated into device 1005. In some cases, I / O controller 1010 may represent a physical connection or port to an external peripheral device.

In some cases, the I / O controller 1010 may be implemented as part of one or more processors, such as at least one processor 1040. In some cases, a user may interact with the device 1005 via the I / O controller 1010 or via hardware components controlled by the I / O controller 1010.

At least one memory 1030 may store computer-readable, computer-executable code 1035, including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor 1040, cause device 1005 to perform the various functions described herein. Code 1035 may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, such as system memory or another type of memory. In some cases, code 1035 may not be directly executable by at least one processor 1040, but may enable a computer (e.g., when compiled and executed) to perform the functions described herein.

In some other cases, the memory controller may be integrated into at least one processor 1040. At least one processor 1040 may be configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in memory (e.g., at least one memory 1030) to cause device 1005 to perform various functions (e.g., functions or tasks supporting interference-based reporting using a CMR set). For example, device 1005 or components of device 1005 may include at least one processor 1040 and at least one memory 1030 coupled to or coupled to at least one processor 1040, wherein at least one processor 1040 and at least one memory 1030 are configured to perform the various functions described herein. In some examples, at least one processor 1040 may include multiple processors, and at least one memory 1030 may include multiple memories. One or more of a plurality of processors may be coupled to one or more of a plurality of memories, which may be configured individually or collectively to perform the various functions described herein. In some examples, at least one processor 1040 may be a component of a processing system, which may refer to a machine (such as a series of machines), circuitry (including, for example, one or both of processor circuitry (which may include at least one processor 1040) and memory circuitry (which may include at least one memory 1030)) or system of components that receive or receive input and process the input to produce, generate or obtain a set of outputs. The processing system may be configured to perform one or more of the functions described herein. Thus, at least one processor 1040 or a processing system including at least one processor 1040 may be configured, configurable, or operable to cause device 1005 to perform one or more of the functions described herein. Furthermore, as described herein, “configured to,” “configurable to,” and “operable to” are used interchangeably and may be associated with the ability to perform one or more of the functions described herein when executing code stored in at least one memory 1030 or otherwise.

[0160] The communication manager 1020 may support wireless communication according to examples disclosed herein. For example, the communication manager 1020 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support components for receiving signaling indicating a set of multiple resources associated with a single CMR set, the set of multiple resources including one or more SSB resources, one or more NZP-CSI-RS resources, or any combination thereof. The communication manager 1020 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support components for: selecting a first resource from the set of multiple resources for channel measurement, and selecting a second resource from the set of multiple resources for interference measurement, the first resource being different from the second resource. The communication manager 1020 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support components for transmitting reports based on a first measurement of the first resource corresponding to a signal component of the channel metric and a second measurement of the second resource corresponding to an interference component of the channel metric.

[0161] By including or configuring a communication manager 1020 according to examples as described herein, device 1005 can support techniques for reducing latency and efficiently utilizing communication resources. For example, the techniques described herein can enable device 1005 (e.g., UE 115) to select resources from a single CMR set for channel and interference measurements (e.g., without receiving indication of CMR-IMR pairs to be used for channel measurements). Such techniques can improve channel overhead (e.g., reduce signaling associated with CMR-IMR pairs) and UE flexibility when determining resources to be measured and reported. In some examples, device 1005 (e.g., UE 115) can improve the latency of determining beam pairs for communication based on selecting channel and interference resource pairs from a single CMR set.

[0162] In some examples, the communication manager 1020 may be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, monitoring, transmitting) using a transceiver 1015, one or more antennas 1025, or any combination thereof, or otherwise cooperating with them. Although the communication manager 1020 is illustrated as a separate component, in some examples, one or more functions described with reference to the communication manager 1020 may be supported by or executed by at least one processor 1040, at least one memory 1030, code 1035, or any combination thereof. For example, code 1035 may include instructions that can be executed by at least one processor 1040 to cause device 1005 to perform various aspects of interference-based reporting using CMR sets as described herein, or at least one processor 1040 and at least one memory 1030 may be otherwise configured to perform or support such operations individually or jointly.

When implemented using software executed by a processor, the functionality can be stored as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium or transmitted using one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Other examples and specific implementations are within the scope of this disclosure and the appended claims. For example, due to the nature of software, the functionality described herein can be implemented using software executed by a processor, hardware, firmware, hardwiring, or any combination of these.

[0205] As used herein, including in claims, the article “a” preceding a noun is open-ended and is understood to refer to “at least one” or “one or more” of those nouns. Therefore, the terms “a,” “at least one,” “one or more,” and “at least one of one or more” are interchangeable. For example, where a claim enumerates “components” performing one or more functions, each of the individual functions may be performed by a single component or by any combination of multiple components.

Subsequent references to a component introduced with the article “a” using the terms “the” or “the” can refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, a component introduced with the article “a” can be understood to mean “one or more components,” and subsequent reference to “the component” in a claim can be understood as equivalent to referring to “at least one of the one or more components.” Similarly, subsequent references to a component introduced with the terms “the” or “the” as “one or more components” can refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, reference to "the one or more components" in the subsequent claims can be understood as equivalent to reference to "at least one of the one or more components".

[0206] The term "determine" encompasses a variety of actions, and therefore, "determine" can include calculation, computation, processing, derivation, investigation, lookup (such as by searching in a table, database, or other data structure), identification, and similar actions.

[0207] In the accompanying drawings, similar components or features may have the same reference numerals. Furthermore, various components of the same type can be distinguished by adding a dash after the reference numeral and a second reference numeral to differentiate them. If only the first reference numeral is used in the description, the description can be applied to any of the similar components having the same first reference numeral, regardless of the second or other subsequent reference numerals.

[0208] The description herein, illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an example configuration and does not represent all achievable examples or those within the scope of the claims. The term "example" as used herein means "serving as an example, instance, or illustration," not "preferred" or "advantageous over other examples." The detailed description includes specific details used to provide an understanding of the described techniques. However, these techniques can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring the concept of the described examples.
