[0002] Cross-references to related applications

[0003] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 17 / 112,908, filed on December 4, 2020, entitled “FD MODE DEPENDENT UCIMULTIPLEXING”, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. background Technical Field

[0004] This disclosure generally relates to communication systems, and more particularly to wireless communication systems having full-duplex (FD) communication.

[0005] introduction

[0006] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources. Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, and Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems.

[0007] These multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different wireless devices to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. An example telecommunications standard is 5G New Radio (NR). 5G NR is part of the continuous evolution of mobile broadband, promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to meet new requirements associated with latency, reliability, security, scalability (e.g., with the Internet of Things (IoT), and other requirements. 5G NR includes services associated with enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). Some aspects of 5G NR can be based on the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. There is a need for further improvements to 5G NR technology. These improvements can also be applied to other multiple access technologies and telecommunications standards that adopt them.

[0008] Overview

[0009] The following provides a brief overview of one or more aspects to offer a basic understanding of such aspects. This overview is not an exhaustive summary of all conceived aspects, nor is it intended to identify the key or decisive elements of all aspects, nor to define the scope of any or all aspects. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of one or more aspects in a simplified form as an introduction to the more detailed description that follows.

[0010] In one aspect of this disclosure, a method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus are provided for a user equipment (UE). The UE multiplexes a first uplink control information transmission based on a first uplink resource and a second uplink control information transmission based on a second uplink resource that overlaps with the first uplink resource in time, wherein at least one of the first and second uplink resources is used for full-duplex communication. The UE determines whether to use the first uplink resource associated with a first beam or the second uplink resource associated with a second beam based on multiplexing rules applied to full-duplex communication. The UE uses the uplink resource determined based on the multiplexing rules to transmit the multiplexed uplink control information transmission.

[0011] In another aspect of this disclosure, a method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus at a base station are provided. The base station determines, based on multiplexing rules for full-duplex communication, an uplink beam for receiving a multiplexed uplink control information transmission associated with a first uplink beam and a second uplink control information transmission associated with a second uplink beam. At least one of the first uplink resources for the first uplink control information transmission and the second uplink resources for the second uplink control information transmission is used for full-duplex communication. The base station uses the beam determined based on the multiplexing rules to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission.

[0012] To achieve the foregoing and related objectives, these one or more aspects include the features fully described below and specifically pointed out in the claims. Certain illustrative features of these one or more aspects are set forth in detail in the following description and drawings. However, these features merely indicate a few of the various ways in which the principles of these various aspects may be employed, and this description is intended to cover all such aspects and their equivalents.

[0026] The detailed description that follows, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, is intended as a description of various configurations and is not intended to represent only the configurations in which the concepts described herein can be practiced. This detailed description includes specific details to provide a thorough understanding of the various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring such concepts.

[0027] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various apparatuses and methods. These apparatuses and methods will be described in detail below and explained in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, “elements”). These elements can be implemented using electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0028] As an example, an element, or any part of an element, or any combination of elements, may be implemented as a "processing system" including one or more processors. Examples of processors include: microprocessors, microcontrollers, graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), application processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processors, system-on-a-chip (SoCs), baseband processors, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), state machines, gated logic, discrete hardware circuits, and other suitable hardware configured to perform the various functionalities described throughout this disclosure. One or more processors in a processing system can execute software. Software should be broadly interpreted as instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subroutines, software components, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, functions, etc., whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description languages, or other terms.

[0029] Accordingly, in one or more example embodiments, the described functionality can be implemented in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software, the functionality can be stored or encoded as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable media includes computer storage media. Storage media can be any available medium accessible to a computer. By way of example and not limitation, such computer-readable media may include random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), optical disc storage, magnetic disk storage, other magnetic storage devices, combinations of computer-readable media of the types described above, or any other medium capable of being used to store computer-executable code in the form of instructions or data structures accessible to a computer.

[0030] User equipment (UE) and / or base stations can communicate in full-duplex mode, where uplink and downlink communication are exchanged during overlapping time slots in the same, partially overlapping, or separate frequency bands. The UE and base station can use one or more directional downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) beam pairs to exchange communication. In some wireless communication systems, coexisting half-duplex (HD) and full-duplex (FD) transmissions are possible. Full-duplex operation allows for the reception of DL signals in previously UL-only time slots, thereby reducing latency. Additionally, full-duplex transmission improves spectral efficiency per cell and per UE.

[0031] In some wireless communication systems, multiplexing rules exist for overlapping uplink control information (UCI) transmissions. These multiplexing rules can be applied when a UE has resources for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions or for time-overlapping PUCCH and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions. For example, if there are two overlapping UCI transmissions, one for scheduling requests (SR) and the other for mixed automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information, the multiplexing rule can instruct the UE that when the UE is provided with simultaneous HARQ-ACK channel state information (e.g., ...), simultaneous HARQ-ACK-CSI ( Meanwhile HARQ-ACK-CSI When two UCIs are multiplexed into a UCI resource carrying HARQ-ACK information, the rule can instruct the UE to multiplex the HARQ-ACK information (and / or SR) from the resource used for PUCCH transmission with the CSI report that has higher priority. In another example, if there is a single PUCCH resource (and / or SR resource) with HARQ-ACK and two PUCCH resources with CSI reports, the rule can instruct the UE to multiplex the HARQ-ACK information (and / or SR) from the resource used for PUCCH transmission with the CSI report that has higher priority. The UE can suppress the transmission of PUCCHs with lower priority CSI reports.

[0032] For example, for full-duplex operation, the UL beam associated with multiplexed UCI resources may not be paired with the DL beam used for full-duplex communication involving time-overlapping uplink transmission and downlink reception. The aspects provided herein enable UEs and base stations to resolve and / or avoid such unpaired beaming issues for UCI resources.

[0033] Figure 1This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communication system and access network 100. The wireless communication system (also known as a wireless wide area network (WWAN)) includes base station 102, UE 104, evolved packet core (EPC) 160, and another core network 190 (e.g., a 5G core (5GC)). Base station 102 may include macrocells (high-power cellular base stations) and / or small cells (low-power cellular base stations). Macrocells include base stations. Small cells include femtocells, picocells, and microcells.

[0034] Base station 102 configured for 4G LTE (collectively referred to as Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) can interface with EPC 160 via a first backhaul link 132 (e.g., S1 interface). Base station 102 configured for 5G NR (collectively referred to as Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN)) can interface with core network 190 via a second backhaul link 184. Among other functions, base station 102 can also perform one or more of the following functions: user data delivery, radio channel cryptography and cryptography decoding, integrity protection, header compression, mobility control functions (e.g., handover, dual connectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection establishment and release, load balancing, distribution of Non-Access Stratum (NAS) messages, NAS node selection, synchronization, Radio Access Network (RAN) sharing, Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), subscriber and equipment tracking, RAN Information Management (RIM), paging, location, and delivery of alarm messages. Base station 102 can communicate with each other directly or indirectly (e.g., via EPC 160 or core network 190) on third backhaul link 134 (e.g., X2 interface). First backhaul link 132, second backhaul link 184 and third backhaul link 134 can be wired or wireless.

[0035] Base station 102 can wirelessly communicate with UE 104. Each base station 102 can provide communication coverage for its respective geographical coverage area 110. Overlapping geographical coverage areas 110 may exist. For example, small cell 102' may have a coverage area 110' that overlaps with the coverage areas 110 of one or more macro base stations 102. A network that includes both small cells and macro cells may be referred to as a heterogeneous network. The heterogeneous network may also include a Home Evolved B Node (eNB) (HeNB) that can provide services to a restricted group called a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG). The communication link 120 between base station 102 and UE 104 may include uplink (UL) (also known as reverse link) transmission from UE 104 to base station 102 and / or downlink (DL) (also known as forward link) transmission from base station 102 to UE 104. The communication link 120 may use multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and / or transmit diversity. These communication links may use one or more carriers. For the total amount used for transmission in each direction, up to Yx MHz ( x Each carrier allocated in the carrier aggregation (of component carriers) can be used by base station 102 / UE 104 up to [number missing] carriers. Y A spectrum with a bandwidth of MHz (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 100, 400 MHz, etc.). These carriers may or may not be adjacent to each other. Carrier allocation may be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL (e.g., more or fewer carriers may be allocated to DL compared to UL). Component carriers may include primary component carriers and one or more secondary component carriers. The primary component carrier may be referred to as the primary cell (PCell), and the secondary component carriers may be referred to as secondary cells (SCells).

[0036] Some UEs 104 may communicate with each other using a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 158. The D2D communication link 158 may use DL / UL WWAN spectrum. The D2D communication link 158 may use one or more sidelink channels, such as the Physical Sidelink Broadcast Channel (PSBCH), Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel (PSDCH), Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH), and Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH). D2D communication can be achieved through a wide variety of wireless D2D communication systems, such as, for example, WiMedia, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, LTE, or NR.

[0037] The wireless communication system may further include a Wi-Fi access point (AP) 150 communicating with a Wi-Fi station (STA) 152 via a communication link 154, for example, in an unlicensed spectrum of 5 GHz. When communicating in unlicensed spectrum, the STA 152 / AP 150 may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) before communication to determine whether the channel is available.

[0038] Small cell 102' can operate in licensed and / or unlicensed spectrum. When operating in unlicensed spectrum, small cell 102' can employ NR and use the same unlicensed spectrum (e.g., 5 GHz, etc.) used by Wi-Fi AP 150. Small cell 102' employing NR in unlicensed spectrum can enhance access network coverage and / or increase access network capacity.

[0039] The electromagnetic spectrum is typically subdivided into various classes, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency / wavelength. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been designated as frequency ranges FR1 (410 MHz – 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz – 52.6 GHz). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as the mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. Similar naming issues sometimes arise regarding FR2, although it is different from the Very High Frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz – 300 GHz) designated as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), FR2 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “millimeter wave” band in various documents and articles.

[0040] In light of the foregoing, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, as used herein, the term "sub-6 GHz" and the like can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, within FR1, or including intermediate frequency band frequencies. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, as used herein, the term "millimeter wave" and the like can broadly refer to frequencies that can include intermediate frequency band frequencies, within FR2, or within the EHF band.

[0041] Whether it is a small cell 102' or a large cell (e.g., a macro base station), base station 102 may include and / or be referred to as an eNB, gB node (gNB), or another type of base station. Some base stations (such as gNB 180) may operate in conventional sub-6 GHz spectrum, millimeter wave frequencies, and / or near-millimeter wave frequencies to communicate with UE 104. When gNB 180 operates in millimeter wave frequencies or near-millimeter wave frequencies, gNB 180 may be referred to as a millimeter wave base station. Millimeter wave base station 180 may utilize beamforming 182 with UE 104 to compensate for path loss and short range. Base station 180 and UE 104 may each include multiple antennas, such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and / or antenna arrays, to facilitate beamforming.

[0042] Base station 180 may transmit beamformed signals to UE 104 in one or more transmission directions 182'. UE 104 may receive beamformed signals from base station 180 in one or more reception directions 182''. UE 104 may also transmit beamformed signals to base station 180 in one or more transmission directions. Base station 180 may receive beamformed signals from UE 104 in one or more reception directions. Base station 180 / UE 104 may perform beam training to determine the optimal reception and transmission directions for each of base station 180 / UE 104. The transmission and reception directions of base station 180 may be the same or different. The transmission and reception directions of UE 104 may be the same or different.

[0043] EPC 160 may include Mobility Management Entity (MME) 162, other MMEs 164, Serving Gateway 166, Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) Gateway 168, Broadcast Multicast Service Center (BM-SC) 170, and Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway 172. MME 162 may communicate with Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 174. MME 162 is the control node that handles signaling between UE 104 and EPC 160. Generally, MME 162 provides bearer and connection management. All user Internet Protocol (IP) packets are delivered through Serving Gateway 166, which is itself connected to PDN Gateway 172. PDN Gateway 172 provides UE IP address allocation and other functions. PDN Gateway 172 and BM-SC 170 are connected to IP Service 176. IP Service 176 may include the Internet, intranet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), PS streaming service, and / or other IP services. The BM-SC 170 provides functionality for MBMS user service provisioning and delivery. The BM-SC 170 can serve as an entry point for content provider MBMS transmissions, authorize and initiate MBMS bearer services within a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and schedule MBMS transmissions. The MBMS gateway 168 can be used to distribute MBMS traffic to base station 102 within a Broadcast-Specific Service Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) area, and can be responsible for session management (start / stop) and collecting eMBMS-related billing information.

[0044] The core network 190 may include Access and Mobility Management Functions (AMF) 192, other AMFs 193, Session Management Functions (SMF) 194, and User Plane Functions (UPF) 195. AMF 192 may communicate with Unified Data Management (UDM) 196. AMF 192 is the control node that handles signaling between UE 104 and the core network 190. Generally, AMF 192 provides QoS flow and session management. All user Internet Protocol (IP) packets are transmitted through UPF 195. UPF 195 provides UE IP address allocation and other functions. UPF 195 connects to IP services 197. IP services 197 may include the Internet, intranet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Packet Switched (PS) Streaming (PSS) services, and / or other IP services.

[0045] Base stations may include and / or be referred to as gNB, B-node, eNB, access point, base transceiver station, radio base station, radio transceiver, transceiver function, basic service set (BSS), extended service set (ESS), transmit / receive point (TRP), or some other suitable term. Base station 102 provides UE 104 with access to EPC 160 or core network 190. Examples of UE 104 include cellular phones, smartphones, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones, laptop devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), satellite radios, GPS devices, multimedia devices, video devices, digital audio players (e.g., MP3 players), cameras, game consoles, tablet devices, smart devices, wearable devices, vehicles, electricity meters, gas pumps, large or small kitchen appliances, healthcare devices, implants, sensors / actuators, displays, or any other similar functional devices. Some UE 104 may be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking timers, oil pumps, ovens, vehicles, heart monitors, etc.). UE 104 may also be referred to as a station, mobile station, subscriber station, mobile unit, subscriber unit, radio unit, remote unit, mobile device, radio device, wireless communication device, remote device, mobile subscriber station, access terminal, mobile terminal, radio terminal, remote terminal, handheld device, user agent, mobile client, client, or some other suitable term.

[0046] Refer again Figure 1In some aspects, UE 104 may include a UCI component 198. In some aspects, UCI component 198 may be configured to multiplex a first uplink control information transmission based on a first uplink resource and a second uplink control information transmission based on a second uplink resource that overlaps with the first uplink resource in time, at least one of the first and second uplink resources being used for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, UCI component 198 may be configured to determine whether to use the first uplink resource associated with a first beam or the second uplink resource associated with a second beam based on multiplexing rules applied to full-duplex communication. In some aspects, UCI component 198 may be configured to use the uplink resource determined based on the multiplexing rules to transmit the multiplexed uplink control information transmission. In some aspects, base station 180 may include a UCI processing component 199. In some aspects, the UCI processing component 199 may be configured to determine, based on multiplexing rules applied to full-duplex communication, an uplink beam for receiving multiplexed uplink control information transmissions for receiving first uplink control information transmissions associated with a first uplink beam and second uplink control information transmissions associated with a second uplink beam, wherein at least one of the first uplink resources for the first uplink control information transmission and the second uplink resources for the second uplink control information transmission is used for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, the UCI processing component 199 may be configured to use the beam determined based on the multiplexing rules to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmissions.

[0047] While the following description may focus on 5G NR, the concepts described herein are applicable to other similar areas such as LTE, LTE-A, CDMA, GSM, and other wireless technologies.

[0048] Figure 2A This is a diagram 200 illustrating an example of the first subframe within the 5G NR frame structure. Figure 2B Figure 230 is an example illustrating the DL channel within a 5G NR subframe. Figure 2C This is a diagram 250 illustrating an example of the second subframe within the 5G NR frame structure. Figure 2D Figure 280 illustrates an example of the UL channel within a 5G NR subframe. The 5G NR frame structure can be Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), where subframes within a specific set of subcarriers (carrier system bandwidth) are dedicated to either DL or UL; or it can be Time Division Duplex (TDD), where subframes within a specific set of subcarriers (carrier system bandwidth) are dedicated to both DL and UL. Figure 2A , 2CIn the provided example, the 5G NR frame structure is assumed to be TDD, where subframe 4 is configured with slot format 28 (mostly DL) and subframe 3 is configured with slot format 1 (all UL), where D is DL, U is UL, and F is for flexible use between DL and UL. Although subframes 3 and 4 are shown as having slot formats 1 and 28, respectively, any particular subframe can be configured with any of the various available slot formats 0-61. Slot formats 0 and 1 are all DL and all UL, respectively. Other slot formats 2-61 include a mixture of DL, UL, and flexible symbols. The UE is configured to have a slot format via the received Slot Format Indicator (SFI) (dynamically configured via DL Control Information (DCI) or semi-statically / statically configured via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling). Note that the following description also applies to 5G NR frame structures for TDD.

[0049] Other wireless communication technologies may have different frame structures and / or different channels. A frame (10 ms) can be divided into 10 equally sized subframes (1 ms). Each subframe may include one or more time slots. Subframes may also include mini-time slots, which may include 7, 4, or 2 symbols. Each time slot may include 7 or 14 symbols, depending on the time slot configuration. For time slot configuration 0, each time slot may include 14 symbols, while for time slot configuration 1, each time slot may include 7 symbols. Symbols on the DL can be Cyclic Prefix (CP) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) symbols. Symbols on the UL can be CP-OFDM symbols (for high-throughput scenarios) or Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbols (also known as Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols) (for power-constrained scenarios; limited to single-stream transmission). The number of time slots within a subframe is based on the time slot configuration and parameter design. For slot configuration 0, different parameter designs µ 0 to 4 allow 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 slots per subframe, respectively. For slot configuration 1, different parameter designs 0 to 2 allow 2, 4, and 8 slots per subframe, respectively. Correspondingly, for slot configuration 0 and parameter design µ, there are 14 symbols per slot and 2 symbols per subframe. µ Each time slot. The subcarrier spacing and symbol length / duration vary depending on the design parameters. The subcarrier spacing can be equal to 2. µ 15 kHz, where µ The parameters are designed from 0 to 4. Thus, parameter design µ=0 has a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz, while parameter design µ=4 has a subcarrier spacing of 240 kHz. Symbol length / duration is inversely correlated with subcarrier spacing. Figures 2A to 2DAn example of a slot configuration of 0 with 14 symbols per slot and a parameter design of µ=2 with 4 slots per subframe is provided. The slot duration is 0.25 ms, the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz, and the symbol duration is approximately 16.67 μs. Within the frame set, there may be one or more different bandwidth portions (BWPs) that are frequency-division multiplexed (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 2B Each BWP can have specific parameter designs.

[0050] A resource grid can be used to represent the frame structure. Each time slot includes a resource block (RB) (also known as a physical RB (PRB)) extending for 12 consecutive subcarriers. The resource grid is divided into multiple resource elements (REs). The number of bits carried by each RE depends on the modulation scheme.

[0051] like Figure 2A As explained in the text, some REs carry reference (pilot) signals (RS) for the UE. RS may include demodulation RS (DM-RS) for channel estimation at the UE (indicated as R for a particular configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) and channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). RS may also include beam measurement RS (BRS), beam refinement RS (BRRS), and phase tracking RS (PT-RS).

[0052] Figure 2BExamples of various DL channels within a subframe of a frame are explained. The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) carries the DCI within one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs) (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 CCEs), each CCE comprising 6 RE Groups (REGs), each REG comprising 12 coherent REs in the OFDM symbols of the RB. The PDCCH within a BWP may be referred to as a Control Resource Set (CORESET). The UE is configured to monitor PDCCH candidates in a PDCCH search space (e.g., a shared search space, a UE-specific search space) during PDCCH monitoring on the CORESET, where the PDCCH candidates have different DCI formats and different aggregation levels. Additional BWPs may be located at higher and / or lower frequencies spanning the channel bandwidth. The Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) may be located within symbol 2 of a specific subframe of the frame. The PSS is used by the UE 104 to determine subframe / symbol timing and physical layer identity. The Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) may be located within symbol 4 of a specific subframe of the frame. The SSS is used by the UE to determine the Physical Layer Cell Identity Group Number and radio frame timing. Based on the Physical Layer Identity and the Physical Layer Cell Identity Group Number, the UE can determine the Physical Cell Identifier (PCI). Based on the PCI, the UE can determine the location of the aforementioned DM-RS. The Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) carrying the Master Information Block (MIB) can be logically grouped with the PSS and SSS to form a Synchronization Signal (SS) / PBCH block (also known as an SS block (SSB)). The MIB provides the number of RBs in the system bandwidth and the System Frame Number (SFN). The Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carries user data, broadcast system information not transmitted via the PBCH (such as System Information Block (SIB)), and paging messages.

[0053] As in Figure 2C As explained, some REs carry DM-RS for channel estimation at the base station (indicated as R for a specific configuration, but other DM-RS configurations are possible). The UE can transmit DM-RS for the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and DM-RS for the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). The PUSCH DM-RS can be transmitted in the first or second symbol of the PUSCH. The PUCCH DM-RS can be transmitted in different configurations depending on whether a short or long PUCCH is being transmitted and on the specific PUCCH format used. The UE can transmit a probe reference signal (SRS). The SRS can be transmitted in the last symbol of a subframe. The SRS can have a comb structure, and the UE can transmit the SRS on one of the combs. The SRS can be used by the base station for channel quality estimation to enable frequency-dependent scheduling on the UL.

[0054] Figure 2DExamples of various UL channels within a subframe of a frame are explained. The PUCCH can be located as indicated in one configuration. The PUCCH carries uplink control information (UCI), such as scheduling requests, channel quality indicators (CQI), precoding matrix indicators (PMI), rank indicators (RI), and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) information (ACK / NACK (NACK)) feedback. The PUCCH carries data and may additionally be used to carry buffer status reports (BSR), power clearance reports (PHR), and / or UCI.

[0055] Figure 3 This is a block diagram showing the communication between base station 310 and UE 350 in the access network. In the DL, IP packets from EPC 160 can be provided to controller / processor 375. Controller / processor 375 implements Layer 3 and Layer 2 functionality. Layer 3 includes the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, and Layer 2 includes the Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The controller / processor 375 provides RRC layer functionality associated with broadcasting system information (e.g., MIB, SIB), RRC connection control (e.g., RRC connection paging, RRC connection establishment, RRC connection modification, and RRC connection release), inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) mobility, and measurement configuration of UE measurement reports; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression / decompression, security (cryptography, cryptographic decoding, integrity protection, integrity verification), and handover support functions; RLC layer functionality associated with upper-layer packet data unit (PDU) delivery, error correction via ARQ, concatenation, segmentation and reassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs), resegmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionality associated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing MAC SDUs onto transport blocks (TBs), demultiplexing MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction via HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel priority differentiation.

[0056] Transmit (TX) processor 316 and receive (RX) processor 370 implement Layer 1 functionality associated with various signal processing functions. Layer 1, including the physical (PHY) layer, may include error detection on the transport channel, forward error correction (FEC) decoding / decoding of the transport channel, interleaving, rate matching, mapping to the physical channel, modulation / demodulation of the physical channel, and MIMO antenna processing. TX processor 316 processes the mapping to the signal constellation based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-phase shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)). The decoded and modulated symbols can then be split into parallel streams. Each stream can then be mapped to an OFDM subcarrier, multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and subsequently combined using an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to produce a physical channel carrying a time-domain OFDM symbol stream. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded to generate multiple spatial streams. Channel estimates from channel estimator 374 can be used to determine coding and modulation schemes and for spatial processing. The channel estimates can be derived from reference signals and / or channel condition feedback transmitted by UE 350. Each spatial stream can then be provided to a different antenna 320 via a separate transmitter 318 TX. Each transmitter 318 TX can modulate an RF carrier with the corresponding spatial stream for transmission.

[0057] At UE 350, each receiver 354 RX receives signals via its respective antenna 352. Each receiver 354 RX recovers the information modulated onto the RF carrier and provides this information to the receive (RX) processor 356. The TX processor 368 and RX processor 356 implement Layer 1 functionality associated with various signal processing functions. The RX processor 356 can perform spatial processing on the information to recover any spatial stream destined for UE 350. If there are multiple spatial streams destined for UE 350, they can be combined by the RX processor 356 into a single OFDM symbol stream. The RX processor 356 then uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to transform the OFDM symbol stream from the time domain to the frequency domain. The frequency domain signal consists of a separate OFDM symbol stream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols on each subcarrier, along with the reference signal, are recovered and demodulated by determining the signal constellation points most likely to be transmitted by base station 310. These soft decisions can be based on a channel estimate calculated by channel estimator 358. These soft decisions are then decoded and deinterleaved to recover the original data and control signals transmitted by base station 310 over the physical channel. This data and control signals are then provided to controller / processor 359, which implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality.

[0058] The controller / processor 359 may be associated with a memory 360 that stores program code and data. The memory 360 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller / processor 359 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, cipher decoding, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover IP packets from the EPC 160. The controller / processor 359 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0059] Similar to the functionality described in conjunction with DL transmissions performed by base station 310, controller / processor 359 provides RRC layer functionality associated with system information (e.g., MIB, SIB) capture, RRC connection, and measurement reporting; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression / decompression and security (cryptography, cryptographic decoding, integrity protection, integrity verification); RLC layer functionality associated with upper-layer PDU transmission, error correction via ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs, resegmentation of RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionality associated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels, multiplexing MAC SDUs onto TBs, demultiplexing MAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correction via HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel priority differentiation.

[0060] The channel estimate derived by the channel estimator 358 from the reference signal or feedback transmitted by the base station 310 can be used by the TX processor 368 to select an appropriate coding and modulation scheme and to facilitate spatial processing. The spatial stream generated by the TX processor 368 can be provided to different antennas 352 via separate transmitters 354TX. Each transmitter 354TX can use the corresponding spatial stream to modulate an RF carrier for transmission.

[0061] UL transmissions are processed at base station 310 in a manner similar to that described in conjunction with the receiver function at UE 350. Each receiver 318RX receives signals via its corresponding antenna 320. Each receiver 318RX recovers the information modulated onto the RF carrier and provides that information to the RX processor 370.

[0062] The controller / processor 375 may be associated with a memory 376 that stores program code and data. The memory 376 may be referred to as a computer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller / processor 375 provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packet reassembly, cipher decoding, header decompression, and control signal processing to recover IP packets from the UE 350. IP packets from the controller / processor 375 may be provided to the EPC 160. The controller / processor 375 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0063] At least one of the TX processor 368, RX processor 356, and controller / processor 359 can be configured to perform and Figure 1 The UCI component 198 combines various aspects.

[0064] At least one of the TX processor 316, RX processor 370, and controller / processor 375 can be configured to perform operations related to... Figure 1 The UCI processing component 199 integrates various aspects.

[0065] Wireless communication systems can be configured to share available system resources and provide various telecommunications services (e.g., telephone, video, data, messaging, broadcasting, etc.) based on multiple access technologies that support communication with multiple users. Full-duplex operation (where wireless devices exchange time-overlapping uplink and downlink communications) enables more efficient use of the wireless spectrum. Full-duplex operation can include simultaneous transmission and reception in the same frequency range, partially overlapping frequency ranges, or separate frequency ranges. In some examples, the frequency range can be a mmW frequency range, such as frequency range 2 (FR2). In some examples, the frequency range can be a sub-6 GHz frequency range, such as frequency range 1 (FR1). The aspects given herein can also be applied to other frequency ranges. Full-duplex capability can be supported at the base station and / or UE. For example, a UE can transmit uplink communication from one antenna panel and receive downlink communication from another antenna panel. As another example, a base station can transmit from one antenna panel to one UE and can receive from another UE using another antenna panel. As yet another example, a base station can transmit from one antenna panel to one UE and can receive from the same UE using another antenna panel. In some examples, full-duplex communication can be conditional on beam or spatial separation or other conditions.

[0066] Full-duplex communication reduces latency. For example, full-duplex operation allows a UE to receive downlink signals in uplink time slots only, reducing downlink communication latency. Full-duplex communication improves spectral efficiency, such as per cell or per UE. Full-duplex communication enables more efficient use of radio resources.

[0067] Figures 4A-4C The various modes of full-duplex communication are explained. Full-duplex communication supports the transmission and reception of information in overlapping time bands, on the same frequency band, partially overlapping frequency bands, or on separate frequency bands. In this way, spectral efficiency can be improved compared to half-duplex communication, which supports uplink and downlink communication that transmits or receives information in one direction at a time without overlap. Due to the simultaneous Tx / Rx nature of full-duplex communication, the UE or base station may experience self-interference caused by signal leakage from its local transmitter to its local receiver. Additionally, the UE or base station may experience interference from other devices, such as transmissions from a second UE or a second base station. Such interference (e.g., self-interference or interference caused by other devices) can affect communication quality or even lead to data loss.

[0068] Figure 4A A first example of full-duplex communication 400 is shown, wherein a first base station 402a is in full-duplex communication with a first UE 404a and a second UE 406a. The first base station 402a is a full-duplex base station, while the first UE 404a and the second UE 406a can be configured as half-duplex or full-duplex UEs. The second UE 406a can transmit a first uplink signal to the first base station 402a and other base stations (such as a second base station 408a adjacent to the second UE 406a). The first base station 402a concurrently transmits downlink signals to the first UE 404a while receiving uplink signals from the second UE 406a. The base station 402a may experience self-interference from its receiving antenna, which receives some downlink signals being transmitted to the UE 404a from the receiving antenna that receives uplink signals from the UE 406a. The base station 402a may experience additional interference caused by signals from the second base station 408a. Interference may also occur at the first UE 404a based on signals from the second base station 408a and uplink signals from the second UE 406a.

[0069] Figure 4B A second example of full-duplex communication 410 is shown, wherein a first base station 402b and a first UE 404b are in full-duplex communication. In this example, the first base station 402b is a full-duplex base station, and the first UE 404b is a full-duplex UE. The first base station 402b and UE 404b can concurrently receive and transmit time-overlapping communications in the same frequency band. The base station and UE may each experience self-interference, where signals transmitted from the device are leaked to the receiver of the same device. The first UE 404b may experience additional interference based on one or more signals transmitted from a second UE 406b and / or a second base station 408b adjacent to the first UE 404b.

[0070] Figure 4C A third example of full-duplex communication 420 is shown, wherein a first UE 404c is a full-duplex UE communicating with a first base station 402c and a second base station 408c. The first base station 402c and the second base station 408c can be used as multiple transmit / receive points (multiple TRPs) for UL and DL communication with UE 404c. The second base station 408c can communicate with a second UE 406c. Figure 4C In this configuration, the first UE 404c can concurrently transmit uplink signals to the first base station 402c while receiving downlink signals from the second base station 408c. The first UE 404c may experience self-interference caused by the simultaneous transmission of the first and second signals; for example, the uplink signal may leak to the UE's receiver (e.g., be received by the UE's receiver). The first UE 404c may experience additional interference from the second UE 406c.

[0071] Full-duplex communication can occur within the same frequency band. Uplink and downlink communication can occur in different frequency subbands, the same frequency subband, or partially overlapping frequency subbands. Figure 5 A first example 500 and a second example 510 of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) resources, and a third example 520 of sub-band full-duplex resources, have been described. In IBDF, signals can be transmitted and received in overlapping times and overlapping frequencies. As shown in the first example 500, the time and frequency allocation of UL resource 502 may completely overlap with the time and frequency allocation of DL resource 504. In the second example 510, the time and frequency allocation of UL resource 512 may partially overlap with the time and frequency allocation of DL resource 514.

[0072] In contrast to Subband Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), uplink and downlink resources can overlap in time using different frequencies, as shown in the third example 520. In the third example 520, UL resource 522 is separated from DL resource 524 by a guard band 526. The guard band can be a frequency resource provided between UL resource 522 and DL resource 524, or a gap in frequency resources. Separating UL frequency resources from DL frequency resources using a guard band can help reduce self-interference. UL resources and DL resources adjacent to each other correspond to a guard band width of 0. Since the output signal (e.g., from the UE transmitter) can extend beyond the UL resource, the guard band reduces interference experienced by the UE. Subband FDD can also be referred to as “flexible duplex”.

[0073] In some wireless communication systems, multiplexing rules exist for overlapping UCI transmissions. These rules can be applied when the UE has resources for PUCCH transmissions or for time-overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions. For example, if there are two overlapping UCI transmissions, one for SR and the other for HARQ-ACK information, the multiplexing rule can instruct the UE to use resources for simultaneous HARQ-ACK channel state information (...). Meanwhile HARQ-ACK-CSI When two UCIs are multiplexed into a UCI resource carrying HARQ-ACK information, the rule can instruct the UE to multiplex the HARQ-ACK information (and / or SR) from the resource used for PUCCH transmission with the CSI report that has higher priority. In another example, if there is a single PUCCH resource (and / or SR resource) with HARQ-ACK and two PUCCH resources with CSI reports, the rule can instruct the UE to multiplex the HARQ-ACK information (and / or SR) from the resource used for PUCCH transmission with the CSI report that has lower priority. The UE can suppress the transmission of PUCCHs with lower priority CSI reports.

[0074] For example, for full-duplex operation, a UL beam associated with a multiplexed UCI resource may not be paired with a DL beam. For example, a base station may schedule a UE for half-duplex transmission or reception using a half-duplex beam, and may also schedule a UE for transmission / reception using a full-duplex beam. Resources may overlap in time, but half-duplex beams may not be paired with full-duplex beams for overlapping full-duplex transmission and reception. These beams may be unpaired because, for example, the associated self-interference between concurrent transmission and reception on the two beams cannot be eliminated or sufficiently mitigated. Half-duplex beams may be selected for half-duplex communication based on a first metric (e.g., Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)), and full-duplex beams may be selected for full-duplex communication based on a second metric (e.g., Signal-to-Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR)). Therefore, the second metric can take into account self-interference not considered in the first metric. For example, a half-duplex mode beam may be selected based on the best RSRP beam (e.g., beam 1) in a candidate beam set. Conversely, full-duplex mode beam pairs can be based on the optimal SINR beam pair with the highest signal strength, and for this optimal SINR beam pair, the transmit (Tx) beam produces small self-interference with its paired receive (Rx) beams (e.g., a beam pair including downlink beam 3 and uplink beam 5). If the first transmission is scheduled for half-duplex downlink beam 1 at a time overlapping with the second transmission, and the second transmission is scheduled for UL beam 5 from the full-duplex beam pair, then beam 5 can produce self-interference with downlink reception on beam 1. Therefore, beam 5 can be considered incompatible with beam 1 for full-duplex communication involving time-overlapping transmissions and receptions. The aspects described herein relate to methods for handling incompatible uplink and downlink beams for (various) UCI ​​resources.

[0075] Figure 6 The example communication 600 between UE 602 and base station 604 is explained. For example... Figure 6 As explained, UE 602 can, after determining the UCI transmission at 608, multiplex two pending UCI transmissions based on one or more multiplexing rules. These two pending UCI transmissions can be used for FD or HD. In some aspects, there may be one pending UCI transmission on FD resources for SR 610, and another pending UCI transmission on HD resources for ACK / NACK (PUCCH 612). In some aspects, the UE can select the resources for multiplexing multiple UCIs based on the duplex mode (e.g., HD or FD) of the individual UCIs. In one example, UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) multiplex two UCIs to FD UCI resources, regardless of the content carried in the FD UCI. In some aspects, multiplexing rules can cause the UE to multiplex multiple UCIs in a UCI resource based on the duplex mode and the content of the individual UCIs. In some aspects, UE 602 can multiplex two UCIs to FD UCI resources based on the content carried in the FD UCI.

[0076] In some respects, the UE can reset the DL / UL beam at 609. For example, in some respects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource but is associated with a DL beam different from the scheduled DL beam (e.g., a bidirectional beam pair indicated in the TCI state of the PUCCH resource configuration, such as a bidirectional beam pair indicated in scheduling information 606 previously transmitted from base station 604 to UE 602), then UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) reset the currently scheduled DL beam based on the DL beam in the TCI state for receiving scheduled DL transmissions. Similarly, the base station can adjust the DL beam used for transmitting DL transmissions based on the multiplexed UCI of the UE associated with a different DL beam in the FD resource.

[0077] In some respects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource without an explicit DL beam indication (which may be associated with a DL beam different from the scheduled DL beam), UE 602 can retrieve DL beam information in the Beam Failure Detection (BFD) or Radio Link Management (RLM) Reference Signal Configuration (RS) for use in FD communication mode. The BFD / RLM RS may include a DL beam in the Channel Measurement Resource (CMR) RS paired with a UL beam in the Self-Interference Measurement Resource (IMR) RS, which is the same as the UL beam of the multiplexed UCI resource. UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) reset the DL beam used to receive scheduled DL transmissions based on the retrieved information. Similarly, the base station can adjust the DL beam used to transmit DL transmissions based on the multiplexed UCI of the UE associated with different DL beams in the FD resource.

[0078] In some aspects, UE 602 can identify one or more candidate DL beams based on self-interference measurement (SIM) reports or beam management (BM) measurement reports. One of these candidate DL beams can be paired with a multiplexed UCI resource UL beam. UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) reset the DL beam used to receive scheduled DL transmissions based on the latest measurement and the candidate DL beams. Similarly, the base station can adjust the DL beam used to transmit DL transmissions based on the multiplexed UCI of the UE associated with different DL beams based on the latest measurement report in the FD resource.

[0079] In some aspects, if a RACH timing overlaps with the DL SSB in FD mode, UE 602 can use the SSB beam to find the DL SSB beam that pairs with the RACH timing UL beam, which is the same as the multiplexed UCI resource beam. UE 602 can reset the DL beam based on the SSB beam (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules). In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is not an FD resource, UE 602 can cancel the reception of DL transmissions. Similarly, the base station can cancel DL transmissions based on the multiplexed UCI of UEs associated with different DL beams in the FD resource.

[0080] In some aspects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a DL beam that is different from the scheduled DL beam (e.g., the scheduled beam based on scheduling information), the UE can change or reset the uplink beam used to transmit the multiplexed UCI. In some aspects, the UE 602 can find paired UL beam information in the bidirectional TCI state of the downlink control information (DCI) that schedules DL transmissions (e.g., the DCI in scheduling information 606), and the UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) reset the UL beam used for the multiplexed UCI resource to pair with the scheduled DL beam based on this information. Similarly, the base station can change the UL beam that the base station uses to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0081] In some respects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam not paired with the scheduled DL beam, UE 602 can find new UL beam information in the BFD / RLM RS configuration (e.g., a UL beam paired with the CMR RS configuration in the Interference Measurement Resource (IMR) RS configuration (which is the same as the scheduled DL beam)). UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) reset (e.g., change) the UL beam that the UE uses to transmit the multiplexed UCI resource to pair with the scheduled DL beam, based on this information. Similarly, a base station can change the UL beam that the base station uses to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0082] In some respects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam that is not paired with the scheduled DL beam, UE 602 can find, based on the SIM / BM report, one of the one or more candidate UL beams that is paired with a candidate UL beam (which is the same as the scheduled DL beam). UE 602 can, for example, based on one or more multiplexing rules, reset (e.g., change) the UL beam that the UE uses to transmit the multiplexed UCI resource to pair with the scheduled DL beam. Similarly, the base station can change the UL beam that the base station uses to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0083] In some respects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam not paired with the scheduled DL beam, and if there is a RACH timing that overlaps with the DL SSB in FD mode, then UE 602 can find a RACH preamble beam paired with the SSB beam (which is the same as the scheduled DL beam). UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) reset the UL beam used by the UE to transmit the multiplexed UCI to pair with the scheduled DL beam based on this RACH beam. Similarly, the base station can change the UL beam used by the base station to receive the multiplexed UCI.

[0084] In some respects, if the multiplexed UCI resource is not a FD resource, UE 602 can (e.g., based on one or more multiplexing rules) cancel UCI transmission or reception. Similarly, the base station can skip UCI reception.

[0085] Figure 7A This is a flowchart 700 of a wireless communication method. This method can be performed by a UE (e.g., UE 104, UE 404a / b / c, UE 406a / b / c, UE 602; device 902). This method enables the UE to multiplex UCIs, including UCIs associated with FD resources and HD resources.

[0086] In 702, the UE multiplexes the transmission of first uplink control information based on the first uplink resource and the transmission of second uplink control information based on the second uplink resource that overlaps with the first uplink resource in time, wherein at least one of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource is used for full-duplex communication. Figure 6 An example of UE602 multiplexing UCI transports (one for SR, one for HARQ ACK / NACK) is explained. For example, 702 can be... Figure 9 The reused component 942 in the middle is used to perform this.

[0087] In 704, the UE determines whether to use the first uplink resource associated with the first beam or the second uplink resource associated with the second beam based on the multiplexing rules for full-duplex communication. For example, Figure 6 UE 602 can determine whether to use full-duplex UCI resources to carry information for both full-duplex and half-duplex communication. 704 can be determined by... Figure 9 The determination component 944 performs this function. In some aspects, the UE determines the uplink resources for full-duplex communication independently of the content of the uplink control information transmission for half-duplex communication and the uplink control information transmission for full-duplex communication. In some aspects, if both the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource are used for full-duplex communication, the UE determines whether to use the first beam or the second beam based on the content of the first uplink control information transmission and the second uplink control information transmission (e.g., SR, HARQ, etc.).

[0088] In 706, the UE uses uplink resources determined based on multiplexing rules to transmit multiplexed uplink control information. As an example, if the first uplink resource is used for half-duplex communication and the second uplink resource is used for full-duplex communication, the UE can use the second beam associated with the second uplink resource to transmit multiplexed uplink control information. As another example, if the second uplink resource is used for half-duplex communication and the first uplink resource is used for full-duplex communication, the UE can use the first beam associated with the first uplink resource to transmit multiplexed uplink control information. 706 can be... Figure 9 The UCI transport component 946 in the code performs this. In one example, full-duplex communication can be used for SR, while half-duplex communication can be used for HARQ ACK / NACK, as... Figure 6 The explanation is in Chinese.

[0089] Figure 7B This is a flowchart 750 of a wireless communication method. This method can be performed by a UE (e.g., UE 104, UE 404a / b / c, UE 406a / b / c, UE 602; device 902). This method enables the UE to multiplex UCIs, which include one or more UCIs associated with FD resources.

[0090] In 752, the UE multiplexes the time-overlapping first uplink control information transmission and the second uplink control information transmission to generate a multiplexed uplink control information transmission on the multiplexed uplink control information resources associated with the uplink beam. 752 can be... Figure 9 The reused component 942 in the code performs the operation. For example, with... Figure 6 Similarly, in UE 602, the multiplexed UCI resource can be an FD resource associated with a DL beam that is different from the scheduled DL beam. In some aspects, the multiplexed UCI resource is an FD resource associated with a different UL beam that is not paired with the scheduled DL beam.

[0091] At 754, the UE receives scheduling information for receiving downlink transmissions associated with the downlink beam in full-duplex communication mode. 754 can be... Figure 9 The scheduling information receiving component 954 performs this function. For example, the scheduling information can schedule downlink beams. In some aspects, the scheduled downlink beam may be adjusted at 756 because it is not paired with an uplink beam.

[0092] In 756, the UE adjusts the reception of multiplexed uplink control information transmissions or downlink transmissions based on the uplink beam for full-duplex communication and the downlink beam not being paired. For example, a first beam may be selected for half-duplex mode based on a first metric (e.g., RSRP), and a second beam may be selected for full-duplex mode based on a second metric (e.g., SINR or SIM), wherein the second beam is selected to be paired with a third beam for full-duplex mode. The second metric may include self-interference metrics not included in the first metric. The second beam may be incompatible with the first beam based on self-interference between overlapping full-duplex communications on the first and second beams as a pair for full-duplex mode. For example, uplink transmissions on the first or second beam may cause a threshold level of self-interference to downlink reception on the other beam in full-duplex mode. In some aspects, 756 may be... Figure 9 The adjustment component 956 is used to perform this. (And...) Figure 6Similarly, in UE 602, in some aspects, the adjustment may include using a paired uplink beam, paired with a downlink beam from the scheduling information for downlink transmission, to transmit multiplexed uplink control information transmissions. In some aspects, the adjustment may include using a downlink beam, paired with an uplink beam from the multiplexed control information uplink resource configuration, from the TCI state of the multiplexed control information uplink resource configuration for uplink control information transmissions, to receive downlink transmissions. In some aspects, the adjustment may include using a paired downlink beam, rather than a downlink beam from the scheduling information for downlink transmissions, to receive downlink transmissions based on a reference signal configuration indicating beam pairing between the uplink beam and the paired downlink beam for beam fault detection or radio link management in full-duplex communication mode. The uplink beam may be the same as the uplink beam from the multiplexed control information uplink resource. In some aspects, the adjustment may include configuring a reference signal for beam pairing between a paired uplink beam and a downlink beam carrying scheduling information from a downlink transmission, based on beam fault detection or radio link management for full-duplex communication modes, to transmit multiplexed uplink control information transmissions using paired uplink beams rather than uplink beams carrying multiplexed control information uplink resources. In some aspects, the adjustment may include receiving the downlink transmission using a paired downlink beam paired with the uplink beam, rather than a downlink beam carrying scheduling information from a downlink transmission, based on SIM or BM measurements associated with the uplink beam. In such aspects, the uplink beam may be the same as the uplink beam carrying multiplexed control information uplink resources. Similarly, in some aspects, the adjustment may include transmitting multiplexed uplink control information transmissions using a paired uplink beam paired with the downlink beam, rather than an uplink beam carrying multiplexed control information uplink resources, based on SIM or BM measurements associated with the downlink beam carrying scheduling information from a downlink transmission.

The second metric may include self-interference metrics not included in the first metric. The second beam may be incompatible with the first beam based on self-interference between overlapping full-duplex communications on the first and second beams as a pair for full-duplex mode.
