Description

Technical Field

[0001] All aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication in general, and more particularly to techniques, apparatus and methods for providing capability information for beam prediction of user equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of services, including voice, text, messaging, video, data, and / or other services. Services may include unicast, multicast, and / or broadcast services, etc. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access radio access technologies (RATs) capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time-domain resources, frequency-domain resources, spatial-domain resources, and / or device transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access RATs 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.

[0003] The aforementioned Multiple Access RATs have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different wireless communication devices to communicate at the city, national, regional, or global level. An example telecommunications standard is New Radio (NR). NR (also known as 5G) is part of the continuous evolution of mobile broadband announced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR (and other mobile broadband evolutions beyond NR) can be designed to better support the Internet of Things (IoT) and reduced-capacity device deployments, industrial connectivity, millimeter-wave (mmWave) expansion, licensed and unlicensed spectrum access, non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments, sidelinks and other device-to-device direct communication technologies (e.g., cellular vehicle-to-everything (CV2X) communications), massive MIMO, decomposed network architectures and network topology expansion, multi-subscriber implementations, high-precision positioning and / or radio frequency (RF) sensing, and more. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, further improvements to NR can be implemented, and other radio access technologies (such as 6G) can be introduced to further advance mobile broadband evolution.

[0027] Various aspects of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, aspects of this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific aspect illustrated or described with reference to the drawings or otherwise presented in this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, various combinations or numbers of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or a method of practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover apparatuses having structures and / or functionalities other than those available for practicing the various aspects of this disclosure set forth herein, or methods of practice using those other structures and / or functionalities. Any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0028] Various methods, operations, apparatuses, and techniques will now be presented with reference to them. These methods, operations, apparatuses, and techniques will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various boxes, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, or algorithms (collectively, “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the system as a whole.

[0029] User equipment (UE) may transmit capability information indicating the number of Channel State Information (CSI) Reference Signal (CSI-RSI) ports or active CSI-RS resources configured at the UE. Network nodes may receive the capability information and may not expect the UE to have more CSI-RS ports or active CSI-RS resources than indicated in the capability information. Non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS resources may be active during the duration of the time interval described below. For aperiodic CSI-RS, NZP CSI-RS may be active from the end of a scheduled Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) communication including a request and to the end of a scheduled Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) communication including reports associated with aperiodic CSI-RS. For semi-persistent CSI-RS, NZP CSI-RS may be active from the end of an activation command application and to the end of a deactivation command application. For periodic CSI-RS, NZP CSI-RS can be active, starting when periodic CSI-RS is configured by higher-level signaling and ending when the periodic CSI-RS configuration is released. This is possible if the CSI-RS resource is referenced by one or more CSI report settings. N Then, the CSI-RS resource and the CSI-RS ports within the CSI-RS resource can be counted. N Second-rate.

[0030] In the first example, UE capability information can be used maxTotalResourcesForOneFreqRange-r16 The indicator shows the maximum total number of resources within a time slot. maxTotalResourcesForOneFreqRange- The r16 indicator can indicate the maximum total number of component carrier measurements configured within a single frequency range for use in Layer 1 (L1) Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurements, L1 Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) measurements, path loss measurements, beam fault detection (BFD), radio link management (RLM) and / or beam-identified synchronization signal block (SSB) resources, CSI-RS resources, or CSI interference measurement (CSI-IM) resources. maxNumberResWithinSlotAcrossCC-OneFR-r16 The indicator can indicate the maximum total number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources configured to perform all component carrier measurements across a single frequency range within a time slot for L1 RSRP measurements, L1 SINR measurements, path loss measurements, BFD, RLM, and / or beam identification. maxNumberResAcrossCC-OneFR-r16 The indicator can indicate the maximum total number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources configured across a single frequency range for L1 RSRP measurements, L1 SINR measurements, path loss measurements, BFD, RLM, and / or beam identification.

[0031] In the second example, UE capability information can be used maxTotalResourcesForAcrossFreqRange-r16 The indicator shows the maximum total number of resources within a time slot. maxTotalResourcesForAcrossFreqRange-r16 The indicator can indicate the maximum total number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources configured to be measured across all frequency ranges within a time slot for L1 RSRP measurements, L1 SINR measurements, path loss measurements, BFD, RLM, and / or beam identification. maxNumberResWithinSlotAcrossCC-AcrossFR-r16 The indicator can indicate the maximum total number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources configured to be measured across all frequency ranges within a time slot for L1 RSRP measurements, L1 SINR measurements, path loss measurements, BFD, RLM, and / or beam identification. maxNumberResAcrossCC-AcrossFR-r16 The indicator can indicate the maximum total number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources configured across all frequency ranges for L1 RSRP measurements, L1 SINR measurements, path loss measurements, BFD, RLM, and / or beam identification.

[0032] When configuring SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources for beam management, path loss measurement, BFD, RLM, and / or beam identification across a single frequency range, network nodes can use configuration information and one or more other indicators (such as...) beamManagementSSB-CSI-RS indicator, maxNumberCSI-RS-BFD indicator, maxNumberSSB-BFD Indicators and / or maxNumberCSI-RS-SSB-CBD (Indicator). The reference slot duration can be the shortest slot duration defined for the reporting frequency range supported by the UE. For reference signals configured for new beam identification, the reference signal can always be counted, regardless of beam failure events. maxNumberResWithinSlotAcrossCC-AcrossFR-r16 The indicator can count only the reference signal in the active bandwidth portion (BWP), while maxNumberResAcrossCC-AcrossFR- r16 The indicator can count all reference signals in the configured reference signal set (e.g., in active and inactive BWPs). Reference signals “configured for measurement” can be counted over the duration of the reference signal time slot in which the corresponding reference signal is transmitted. In one example, if a single resource is used for one or more BFD or RLM procedures, the reference signal can be counted once. In another example, if a single resource is used for one or more new beam identification measurements, path loss reference signal measurements, or L1 RSRP measurements, the value can be incremented by one (1). In yet another example, if a single resource is used for L1 SINR, the value is referenced by one or more CSI report settings. N times (of which the number of reports equals) ssb-Index-SINR-r16 Indicator or cri-SINR-r16 In the case of an indicator, the value can be increased. N .

[0033] The computing resource capacity available to the UE for performing capability reporting can be indicated by the maximum number of SSBs, CSI-RS, or CSI-IMs to be "configured for measurement" for identifying L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, path loss, BFD, RLM, and / or new beam identifiers (and for performing Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration) within a time slot. In some examples, multiple references made by BFD or RLM are counted as a single reference, multiple references made by new beam identifiers, path loss, or L1 RSRP are additionally counted as a single reference, and references used by L1 SINR are counted as a single reference. N One resource was counted separately. N However, in the context of beam prediction, UE computational resources may be limited by one or more factors. The first factor may be related to the number of set B beams to be measured in a time slot. Set B beams must be actually measured to derive beam prediction results. Set B beams may be at least partially based on SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM. The second factor may be related to the number of set A beams to be predicted within a time slot. Set A beams do not need to be actually measured, but may still consume computational complexity to derive associated prediction results. Set A beams may be at least partially based on SSB or CSI-RS and / or virtual resources that are not actually transmitted. Therefore, the UE and / or network node may not be configured to accurately calculate the UE computational resource capabilities used for UE-side beam prediction. For example, regarding set B beams, the UE may need to use set B beams to calculate at least L1 RSRP or L1 SINR resources. However, the UE and / or network node may not be able to identify whether these resources are counted separately or whether the counts of these resources are combined with the counts of other resources. Regarding the A-beam set, the UE and / or network node may not be able to identify whether virtual resources should be counted together with SSB and CSI-RS resources, or whether virtual resources should be counted separately from SSB and CSI-RS resources.

[0034] Various aspects relate to wireless communication as a whole. Some aspects more specifically relate to conveying capability information for UE beam prediction. In some aspects, the UE may transmit, and the network node may receive, capability information associated with the number of active resources that can be simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction. The capability information may include a first component and a second component, the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot. In some examples, the first number of active resources includes the number of SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or CSI-IM resources within the time slot to be measured and used to derive the following: predicting L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or a first set of other SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or virtual resources, and the second number of active resources includes the number of active SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or virtual resources within the time slot that are not to be measured or monitored and will be used to derive the following: predicting L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or a first set of resources within the time slot. Capability information may indicate the number of times to count a first number of resources for UE beam prediction and / or the number of times to count a second number of resources for UE beam prediction. A network node may generate configuration information associated with one or more measurement resources, at least in part, based on the capability information. The network node may send, and the UE may receive, the configuration information associated with one or more measurement resources, and the UE may use one or more measurement resources to perform beam prediction.

[0035] Specific aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented to achieve one or more of the following potential advantages. In some examples, by transmitting capability information, the described techniques can be used to indicate the number of resources used for UE beam prediction. For example, the described techniques can be used to indicate computational resource capabilities for UE beam prediction based on a first number and a second number of active resources. In some examples, by transmitting capability information, the described techniques can be used to indicate the number of active resources within a time slot. For example, the described techniques can be used to indicate a first number of active resources to be measured and used to derive predicted resources with respect to another set of virtual resources; and a second number of active resources not to be measured but used to derive predicted resources within a time slot. In some examples, by transmitting capability information, the described techniques can be used to indicate the number of times to count each resource associated with the first number of active resources and each resource associated with the second number of active resources for UE beam prediction. For example, the described techniques can be used to indicate whether a measured resource is to be counted once or multiple times, and / or can be used to indicate whether a predicted resource is to be counted once or multiple times. In some examples, by performing beam prediction at least in part based on capability information, the described techniques can be used to increase the likelihood that the UE will perform beam prediction using the correct number of measurement and prediction resources. The advantages of these examples, and so on, will be described in more detail below.

[0036] Multiple access radio access technology (RAT) has been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables wireless communication devices to communicate at the city, enterprise, national, regional, or global level. For example, 5G New Radio (NR) is part of the continuous mobile broadband evolution announced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). 5G NR supports a variety of technologies and use cases, including enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), massive machine-type communication (mMTC), millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, beamforming, network slicing, edge computing, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and management, and network function virtualization (NFV).

[0037] With increasing demand for broadband access and the evolution of technologies supported by wireless communication networks, further technological improvements can be adopted in or implemented for 5G NR or future RATs (such as 6G) to further advance the evolution of wireless communication for a variety of existing and new use cases and applications. These technological improvements can be associated with new frequency band extensions, licensed and unlicensed spectrum access, overlapping spectrum use, small cell deployments, non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments, decomposed network architectures and network topology extensions, device aggregation, advanced duplex communication, sidelinks and other device-to-device direct communication, IoT (including passive or ambient IoT) networks, reduced-capacity (RedCap) UE functionality, industrial connectivity, multi-subscriber implementations, high-precision positioning, radio frequency (RF) sensing and / or artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI / ML), and more. Such technological improvements can support use cases such as wireless backhaul, wireless data centers, extended reality (XR) and metaverse applications, meta-services for supporting vehicle connectivity, holographic and mixed reality communications, autonomous and collaborative robots, vehicle platooning and collaborative manipulation, sensor networks, posture monitoring, brain-computer interfaces, digital twin applications, asset management, and general coverage applications using off-ground and / or aerial platforms, etc. The methods, operations, apparatuses, and techniques described herein can implement one or more of the foregoing technologies and / or support one or more of the foregoing use cases.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communication network 100 according to the present disclosure. The wireless communication network 100 may be a 5G (or NR) network or a 6G network, or may include elements of a 5G (or NR) network or a 6G network, etc. The wireless communication network 100 may include a plurality of network nodes 110, shown as network node (NN) 110a, network node 110b, network node 110c, and network node 110d. Network nodes 110 may support communication with a plurality of UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e).

[0039] Network nodes 110 and UEs 120 of wireless communication network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, frequency bands, carriers, and / or channels according to frequency or wavelength. For example, devices of wireless communication network 100 can communicate using one or more operating frequency bands. In some aspects, multiple wireless networks 100 can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless communication network 100 can support a specific radio access technology (RAT) (which may also be referred to as an air interface) and can operate on one or more carrier frequencies in one or more frequency ranges. Examples of RATs include 4G RAT, 5G / NR RAT, and / or 6G RAT, etc. In some examples, when multiple RATs are deployed in a given geographical area, each RAT in that geographical area can operate on a different frequency to avoid interference with each other.

[0040] Various operating frequency bands have been defined as frequency ranges designated FR1 (410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), FR2 (24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz), FR3 (7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz), FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz to 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz to 300 GHz). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, in some documents and articles, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, in some documents and articles, FR2 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “millimeter wave” band, but this is different from the Very High Frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz to 300 GHz) identified as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as the mid-band frequencies, including FR3. Frequency bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 or FR2 characteristics, thereby effectively extending the characteristics of FR1 or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. Therefore, "below 6 GHz" (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, within FR1, and / or included in mid-band frequencies. Similarly, the term "millimeter wave" (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies included in mid-band frequencies, within FR2, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, or FR5, and / or within the EHF band. Higher frequency bands can extend 5G NR operation, 6G operation, and / or other RATs above 52.6 GHz. For example, each of FR4a, FR4-1, FR4, and FR5 falls within the EHF band. In some examples, wireless communication network 100 can implement dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS), where multiple RATs (e.g., 4G / LTE and 5G / NR) are implemented within a single frequency band using dynamic bandwidth allocation (e.g., based on user demand). It is conceivable that the frequencies included in these operating frequency bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1 and / or FR5) can be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0041] Network node 110 may include one or more devices, components, or systems that enable communication between UE 120 and one or more devices, components, or systems of wireless communication network 100. Network node 110 may be, may include, or may also be referred to as an NR network node, 5G network node, 6G network node, node B, eNB, gNB, access point (AP), transmit / receive point (TRP), mobility element, core, network entity, network element, network equipment, and / or another type of device, component, or system included in a radio access network (RAN).

[0042] Network node 110 may be implemented as a single physical node (e.g., a single physical structure) or as two or more physical nodes (e.g., two or more different physical structures). For example, network node 110 may be a device or system implementing a portion of a radio protocol stack, a device or system implementing a complete radio protocol stack (such as a complete gNB protocol stack), or a collection of devices or systems collectively implementing a complete radio protocol stack. For example, and as shown, network node 110 may be an aggregated network node (with an aggregated architecture), meaning that network node 110 can implement a complete radio protocol stack physically and logically integrated within a single node (e.g., a single physical structure) in the wireless communication network 100. For example, aggregated network node 110 may consist of a single standalone base station or a single TRP that uses a complete radio protocol stack to implement or facilitate communication between UE 120 and the core network of wireless communication network 100.

[0043] Alternatively, and also as shown in the figure, network node 110 can be a decomposed network node (sometimes referred to as a decomposed base station), meaning that network node 110 can realize a radio protocol stack that is physically distributed and / or logically distributed among two or more nodes in the same or different geographic locations. For example, a decomposed network node may have a decomposed architecture. In some deployments, decomposed network node 110 may be used in integrated access and backhaul (IAB) networks, in open radio access networks (O-RAN) (such as network configurations compliant with the O-RAN Alliance), or in virtualized radio access networks (vRAN) (also referred to as cloud radio access networks (C-RAN)) to facilitate scaling by decomposing base station functionality into multiple units that can be deployed independently.

[0044] Network nodes 110 of the wireless communication network 100 may include one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), and / or one or more radio units (RUs). CUs may host one or more higher-layer control functions, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) functions, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) functions, and / or Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) functions, etc. DUs may host one or more of the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, Media Access Control (MAC) layer, and / or one or more higher physical (PHY) layers, at least in part, according to functional splits (such as functional splits defined by 3GPP). In some examples, DUs may also host one or more lower PHY layer functions, such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Inverse FFT (iFFT), beamforming, Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, and / or scheduling of resources for one or more UEs 120, etc. RUs may host RF processing functions or lower PHY layer functions, such as FFT, iFFT, beamforming, or PRACH extraction and filtering, etc., according to functional splits (such as lower-layer functional splits). In this type of architecture, each RU can be operated to handle over-the-air (OTA) communications with one or more UE 120s.

[0045] In some aspects, a single network node 110 may include a combination of one or more CUs, one or more DUs, and / or one or more RUs. Additionally or alternatively, network node 110 may include one or more near real-time (near RT) RAN Intelligent Controllers (RICs) and / or one or more non-real-time (non-RT) RICs. In some examples, CUs, DUs, and / or RUs may be implemented as virtual units, such as Virtual Central Units (VCUs), Virtual Distributed Units (VDUs), or Virtual Radio Units (VRUs), etc. Virtual units may be implemented as virtual network functions, such as those associated with cloud deployments.

[0046] Some network nodes 110 (e.g., base stations, RUs, or TRPs) can provide communication coverage for specific geographic areas. In 3GPP, the term "cell" can refer to the coverage area of ​​network node 110 or to network node 110 itself, depending on the context in which the term is used. Network node 110 can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, network node 110 can provide communication coverage for macro cells, pico cells, femto cells, or another type of cell. A macro cell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. A pico cell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. A femto cell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and can allow restricted access by UE 120 associated with that femto cell (e.g., UE 120 in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). A network node 110 used for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro network node. Network node 110 used for a picocell may be referred to as a pico network node. Network node 110 used for a femtocell may be referred to as a femto network node or a home network node. In some examples, the cell may not necessarily be stationary. For example, the geographical area of ​​the cell may be mobile based on the location of the associated mobile network node 110 (e.g., a train, satellite base station, unmanned aerial vehicle, or non-terrestrial network (NTN) network node).

[0047] The wireless communication network 100 can be a heterogeneous network, comprising different types of network nodes 110, such as macro network nodes, piconet nodes, femtonet nodes, relay network nodes, aggregation network nodes, and / or decomposition network nodes, etc. Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110a can be a macro network node for macro cell 130a, network node 110b can be a pico network node for pico cell 130b, and network node 110c can be a femto network node for femto cell 130c. Compared to other types of network nodes 110, the various types of network nodes 110 typically transmit at different power levels, serve different coverage areas, and / or have different effects on interference in the wireless communication network 100. For example, macro network nodes may have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while pico network nodes, femto network nodes, and relay network nodes may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 watts to 2 watts).

[0048] In some examples, network node 110 may be, may include, or operate as a RU, TRP, or base station communicating with one or more UEs 120 via a radio access link (which may be referred to as a "Uu" link). The radio access link may include a downlink and an uplink. A "downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication direction from network node 110 to UE 120, and an "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication direction from UE 120 to network node 110. Downlink channels may include one or more control channels and one or more data channels. Downlink control channels may be used to transmit downlink control information (DCI) (e.g., scheduling information, reference signals, and / or configuration information) from network node 110 to UE 120. Downlink data channels may be used to transmit downlink data (e.g., user data associated with UE 120) from network node 110 to UE 120. Downlink control channels may include one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCH), and downlink data channels may include one or more physical downlink shared channels (PDSCH). The uplink channel may similarly include one or more control channels and one or more data channels. The uplink control channel can be used to transmit uplink control information (UCI) from UE 120 to network node 110 (e.g., transmitting corresponding reference signals and / or feedback with one or more downlinks). The uplink data channel can be used to transmit uplink data (e.g., user data associated with UE 120) from UE 120 to network node 110. The uplink control channel may include one or more physical uplink control channels (PUCCH), and the uplink data channel may include one or more physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH). The downlink and uplink may each include a set of resources on which network node 110 and UE 120 can communicate.

[0049] Downlink and uplink resources may include time-domain resources (frames, subframes, time slots, and / or symbols), frequency-domain resources (bands, component carriers, subcarriers, resource blocks, and / or resource elements), and / or spatial-domain resources (specific transmission directions and / or beam parameters). Frequency-domain resources in some bands may be subdivided into bandwidth portions (BWPs). A BWP may be a contiguous block of frequency-domain resources allocated to one or more UEs 120 (e.g., a contiguous block of resource blocks). UEs 120 may be configured using both uplink and downlink BWPs (where the uplink and downlink BWPs may be the same BWP or different BWPs). BWPs may be dynamically configured and / or reconfigured (e.g., by sending DCI configuration to one or more UEs 120 via network node 110), meaning that BWPs may be adjusted in real-time (or near real-time) based on changing network conditions in the wireless communication network 100 and / or based on the specific requirements of one or more UEs 120. This allows for more efficient use of available frequency domain resources in the wireless communication network 100, as fewer frequency domain resources can be allocated to the BWP for UE 120 (which reduces the number of frequency domain resources that UE 120 needs to monitor), thus allowing more frequency domain resources to be distributed across multiple UE 120s. Therefore, the BWP can also assist in the implementation of such UE 120s by facilitating the configuration of smaller bandwidths for communications performed by lower-capacity UE 120s.

[0050] As described above, in some aspects, the wireless communication network 100 may be an IAB network, may include an IAB network, or may be included in an IAB network. In an IAB network, at least one network node 110 is an anchor network node communicating with a core network. The anchor network node 110 may also be referred to as an IAB donor (or "IAB donor"). The anchor network node 110 may be connected to the core network via a wired backhaul link. For example, the Ng interface of the anchor network node 110 may terminate at the core network. Additionally or alternatively, the anchor network node 110 may be connected to one or more devices in the core network that provide core access and mobility management functions (AMF). An IAB network typically also includes multiple non-anchor network nodes 110, which may also be referred to as relay network nodes or simply IAB nodes (or "IAB-nodes"). Each non-anchor network node 110 can directly communicate with the anchor network node 110 via a wireless backhaul link to access the core network, or can indirectly communicate with the anchor network node 110 via one or more other non-anchor network nodes 110 and an associated wireless backhaul link forming a backhaul path to the core network. Some anchor network nodes 110 or other non-anchor network nodes 110 can also directly communicate with one or more UEs 120 via a wireless access link carrying access services. For example, network resources used for wireless communication (such as time resources, frequency resources, and / or spatial resources) can be shared between the access link and the backhaul link.

[0051] In some examples, any network node 110 relaying communication may be referred to as a relay network node, a relay station, or simply a repeater. A repeater may receive communications from an upstream station (e.g., another network node 110 or UE 120) and transmit communications to a downstream station (e.g., UE 120 or another network node 110). In this case, the wireless communication network 100 may include or be referred to as a "multi-hop network." Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110d (e.g., a relay network node) can communicate with network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between network node 110a and UE 120d. Additionally or alternatively, UE 120 can be a relay station capable of relaying transmissions to or from other UE 120s, or can operate as such a relay station. UE 120 relaying communication can be referred to as a UE repeater or relay UE, etc.

[0052] UE 120 may be physically distributed throughout the wireless communication network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may be, may include, an access terminal, another terminal, a mobile station, or a subscriber unit, or may be included in an access terminal, another terminal, a mobile station, or a subscriber unit. UE 120 may be, or may include, a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet device, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband and / or smart jewelry (such as a smart ring or smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device and / or a satellite radio), an extended reality (XR) device, a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter or sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) device (such as a Global Positioning System device or another type of positioning device), a UE function of a network node, and / or any other suitable device or function that can communicate via a wireless medium, or may be coupled to them.

[0053] UE 120 and / or network node 110 may include one or more chips, system-on-a-chip (SoC), chipsets, packages, or devices that individually or collectively constitute or include a processing system. The processing system includes processor (or “processing”) circuitry in the form of one or more processors, microprocessors, processing units (such as central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), neural processing units (NPUs), and / or digital signal processors (DSPs)), processing blocks, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic devices (PLDs) (such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)), or other discrete gate or transistor logic components or circuits (all of which are generally referred to herein individually as “processors” or collectively as “processors” or “processor circuitry”). One or more of these processors may be individually or collectively configured to perform the various functions or operations described herein. A group of processors that can be configured or configured to perform a set of functions may include a first processor that can be configured or configured to perform a first function in the set, and a second processor that can be configured or configured to perform a second function in the set, or may include the entire group of processors that are configured or configured to perform the set of functions.

[0054] The processing system may also include memory circuitry in the form of one or more memory devices, memory blocks, memory elements, or other discrete gate or transistor logic components or circuits, each of which may include tangible storage media such as random access memory (RAM) or read-only memory (ROM) or combinations thereof (all of which are generally referred to herein individually as "memory" or collectively as "memory" or "memory circuitry"). One or more of these memories may be coupled to one or more processors in the processor (e.g., operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, or electrically coupled) and may store processor-executable code (such as software) individually or collectively, which, when executed by one or more processors in the processor, may configure one or more processors in the processor to perform the various functions or operations described herein. Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, one or more processors in the processor may be pre-configured to perform the various functions or operations described herein without being configured by software. The processing system may also include or be coupled to one or more modems (such as Wi-Fi (e.g., IEEE compliant) modems or cellular (e.g., 3GPP 4G LTE, 5G, or 6G compliant) modems). In some embodiments, one or more processors of the processing system include or implement one or more modems among the modems. The processing system may also include, or be coupled to, multiple radio components (collectively, “radio components”), multiple RF chains, or multiple transceivers, each of which may in turn be coupled to one or more antennas among multiple antennas. In some embodiments, one or more processors of the processing system include or implement one or more of the radio components, RF chains, or transceivers. UE 120 may be included or may be contained in a housing that houses components associated with UE 120, including the processing system.

[0055] Some UEs 120 may be considered Machine Type Communication (MTC) UEs, Evolved or Enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) UEs, Further Enhanced eMTC (feMTC) UEs or Enhanced feMTC (efeMTC) UEs, or further evolutions thereof, all of which may be collectively referred to as "MTC UEs". MTC UEs may be, may include, or may be included in or coupled with the following: robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, remote devices, sensors, instruments, monitors, and / or location tags. Some UEs 120 may be considered IoT devices and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) devices. IoT UEs or NB-IoT devices may be, may include, or may be included in or coupled with the following: industrial machines, appliances, refrigerators, doorbell camera devices, home automation devices, and / or lighting fixtures, etc. Some UEs 120 may be considered customer premises equipment, which may include telecommunications equipment installed at a customer location (such as a home or office) to enable access to a service provider’s network (such as being included in or communicating with the wireless communication network 100).

[0056] Some UEs 120 can be categorized according to different categories associated with varying levels of complexity and / or capabilities. UEs 120 in the first category facilitate large-scale IoT within the wireless communication network 100 and offer lower complexity and / or lower cost compared to UEs 120 in the second category. UEs 120 in the second category may include mission-critical IoT devices, legacy UEs, baseline UEs, high-level UEs, advanced UEs, full-capability UEs, and / or premium UEs capable of ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), and / or precise positioning, etc., within the wireless communication network 100. UEs 120 in the third category may have intermediate-level complexity and / or capabilities (e.g., capabilities between UEs 120 in the first category and UEs 120 in the second category). UEs 120 in the third category may be referred to as reduced-capability UEs (“RedCap UEs”), intermediate-level UEs, NR lightweight UEs, and / or NR simplified UEs, etc. RedCap UEs bridge the gap in capabilities and complexity between NB-IoT devices and / or eMTC UEs and mission-critical IoT devices and / or premium UEs. RedCap UEs can include, for example, wearable devices, IoT devices, industrial sensors, and / or cameras associated with limited bandwidth, power capacity, and / or transmission range. RedCap UEs can support healthcare environments, building automation, power distribution, process automation, transportation and logistics, and / or smart city deployments, among others.

[0057] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) can communicate directly with each other using sidelink communication (e.g., without communicating through a network node 110 acting as an intermediary). As an example, UE 120a can send data, control information, or other signaling directly to UE 120e as sidelink communication. This contrasts with, for example, UE 120a first sending data to network node 110 in UL communication, and then that network node sending data to UE 120e in DL communication. In various examples, UE 120 can use peer-to-peer (P2P) communication protocols, device-to-device (D2D) communication protocols, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication protocols (which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, and / or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols), and / or mesh network communication protocols to send and receive sidelink communication. In some deployments and configurations, network node 110 may schedule and / or allocate resources for sidelink communication between UEs 120 in the wireless communication network 100. In some other deployments and configurations, UE 120 (instead of network node 110) may perform or cooperate with or negotiate with one or more other UEs to perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations for sidelink communication.

[0058] In various examples, in addition to half-duplex operation, some network nodes and UEs in the wireless communication network 100, including network node 110 and UE 120, can also be configured for full-duplex operation. Network node 110 or UE 120 operating in half-duplex mode can perform only one of transmission or reception during a specific time resource period (such as a specific time slot, symbol, or other time period). Half-duplex operation may involve time division duplex (TDD), where the DL transmission of network node 110 and the UL transmission of UE 120 do not occur in the same time resource (i.e., the transmissions do not overlap in time). In contrast, network node 110 or UE 120 operating in full-duplex mode can transmit and receive communications concurrently (e.g., within the same time resource). By operating in full-duplex mode, network node 110 and / or UE 120 can generally increase the capacity of the network and radio access links. In some examples, full-duplex operation may involve frequency division duplex (FDD), in which network node 110 performs DL transmission in a first frequency band or on a first component carrier, and UE 120 performs transmission in a second frequency band or on a second component carrier, the second frequency band or the second component carrier being different from the first frequency band or the first component carrier, respectively. In some examples, full-duplex operation may be enabled for UE 120 but not for network node 110. For example, UE 120 may simultaneously transmit UL to the first network node 110 and receive DL transmissions from the second network node 110 in the same time resources. In some other examples, full-duplex operation may be enabled for network node 110 but not for UE 120. For example, network node 110 may simultaneously transmit DL to the first UE 120 and receive UL transmissions from the second UE 120 in the same time resources. In some other examples, full-duplex operation may be enabled for both network node 110 and UE 120.

[0059] In some examples, UE 120 and network node 110 can perform MIMO communication. "MIMO" generally refers to the simultaneous transmission or reception of multiple signals (such as multiple layers or multiple data streams) using the same time and frequency resources. MIMO technology typically utilizes multipath propagation. MIMO can be implemented using various spatial processing or spatial multiplexing operations. In some examples, MIMO can support simultaneous transmission to multiple receivers, which is called multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). Some radio access technologies (RATs) can employ advanced MIMO techniques such as mTRP operation (including redundant transmission or reception on multiple TRPs), reciprocity in the time or frequency domain, single-frequency network (SFN) transmission, or noncoherent joint transmission (NC-JT).

[0060] In some aspects, UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may transmit capability information associated with the number of active resources capable of being simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction, wherein the capability information includes a first component and a second component, the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot; receive configuration information associated with one or more measurement resources based at least in part on transmitting the capability information; and perform beam prediction using one or more measurement resources. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0061] In some aspects, network node 110 may include communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, communication manager 150 may receive capability information associated with the number of active resources capable of being simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction, wherein the capability information includes a first component and a second component, the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot; and may transmit configuration information associated with one or more measurement resources based at least in part on the received capability information. Additionally or alternatively, communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0062] As indicated above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 1 The examples described are different.

[0063] Figure 2 This is an illustration of an example network node 110 communicating with an example UE 120 in a wireless network according to this disclosure.

[0064] like Figure 2As shown, network node 110 may include a data source 212, a transmit processor 214, a transmit (TX) MIMO processor 216, a set of modems 232 (shown as 232a to 232t, where t≥1), a set of antennas 234 (shown as 234a to 234v, where v≥1), a MIMO detector 236, a receive processor 238, a data sink 239, a controller / processor 240, a memory 242, a communication unit 244, a scheduler 246, and / or a communication manager 150, etc. In some configurations, one or a combination of antennas 234, modems 232, MIMO detectors 236, receive processors 238, transmit processors 214, and / or TX MIMO processors 216 may be included in the transceiver of network node 110. The transceiver may be under the control of and used by one or more processors (such as controller / processor 240), and in some respects, may perform aspects of the methods, procedures and / or operations described herein in conjunction with processor-readable code stored in memory 242. In some respects, network node 110 may include one or more interfaces, communication components and / or other components that facilitate communication with UE 120 or another network node.

[0065] The terms “processor,” “controller,” or “controller / processor” can refer to one or more controllers and / or one or more processors. For example, references to “a / the processor,” “a / the controller / processor,” etc. (in the singular) should be understood as referring to a combination of… Figure 2 The processor described refers to any one or more processors, such as a single processor or a combination of multiple different processors. The reference to "one or more processors" should be understood as a combination of references. Figure 2 Any one or more processors described herein. For example, one or more processors of network node 110 may include transmit processor 214, TX MIMO processor 216, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, and / or controller / processor 240. Similarly, one or more processors of UE 120 may include MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, and / or controller / processor 280.

[0066] In some aspects, a single processor can perform all operations described as being performed by one or more processors. In some aspects, a first set of one or more processors can perform a first operation described as being performed by that one or more processors, and a second set of one or more processors can perform a second operation described as being performed by that one or more processors. The first set of processors and the second set of processors can be the same set of processors or can be different sets of processors. The reference to "one or more memories" should be understood to refer to any one or more memories of the corresponding device, such as combined... Figure 2 The memory described. For example, an operation described as being performed by one or more memories can be performed by the same subset of the one or more memories or by different subsets of the one or more memories.

[0067] For downlink communication from network node 110 to UE 120, transmitting processor 214 may receive data (“downlink data”) intended for use by UE 120 (or a set of UEs including UE 120) from data source 212 (such as a data pipeline or data queue). In some examples, transmitting processor 214 may select one or more MCSs for UE 120 based on one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) received from UE 120. Network node 110 may process the data (e.g., including encoding the data) based on the MCS selected for UE 120 for transmission to UE 120 on the downlink, thereby generating data symbols. Transmitting processor 214 may process system information (e.g., semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and / or control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and / or control symbols. The transmitting processor 214 can generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signal (CRS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS), or CSI-RS) and / or synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)).

[0068] The TX MIMO processor 216 can perform space processing (e.g., pre-decoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols where applicable, and can output a set of symbol streams (e.g., TA set of output symbol streams is provided to modem 232. For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a corresponding modulator component (shown as MOD) of modem 232. Each modem 232 may use the corresponding modulator component to process (e.g., modulate) the corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further use the corresponding modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a time-domain downlink signal. Modems 232a to 232t may transmit the set of downlink signals (e.g., [missing information]) together via a set of corresponding antennas 234. T (One downlink signal).

[0069] Downlink signals may include DCI communication, MAC control element (MAC-CE) communication, RRC communication, downlink reference signals, or another type of downlink communication. Downlink signals may be transmitted on the PDCCH, PDSCH, and / or on another downlink channel. Downlink signals may carry one or more transport blocks (TBs) of data. A TB may be a data unit transmitted via the air interface in the wireless communication network 100. A data stream (e.g., from data source 212) may be encoded into multiple TBs for transmission via the air interface. The number of TBs used to carry data associated with a particular data stream may be associated with a TB size shared by multiple TBs. The TB size may be based on the radio channel conditions of the air interface, the MCS used to encode the data, downlink resources allocated for transmitting data, and / or other parameters, or otherwise associated with them. Generally, a larger TB size allows for a larger amount of data to be transmitted in a single transmission, reducing signaling overhead. However, a larger TB size may be more prone to transmission and / or reception errors than a smaller TB size, but such errors can be mitigated through more robust error correction techniques.

[0070] For uplink communication from UE 120 to network node 110, the uplink signal from UE 120 may be received by antenna 234, processed by modem 232 (e.g., demodulator component of modem 232, shown as DEMOD), detected where applicable by MIMO detector 236 (e.g., receive (Rx) MIMO processor), and / or further processed by receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and / or control information. Receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to data sink 239 (which may be a data pipeline, data queue, and / or another type of data sink) and provide the decoded control information to processors such as controller / processor 240.

[0071] Network node 110 may use scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink or uplink communication. In some aspects, scheduler 246 may use DCI to dynamically schedule DL transmissions to and / or UL transmissions from UE 120. In some examples, scheduler 246 may allocate repetitive time-domain and / or frequency-domain resources that UE 120 may use for transmitting and / or receiving communication with RRC configuration (e.g., semi-static configuration), for example, to perform semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) or to configure configuration grant (CG) for UE 120.

[0072] One or more of the following may be included in the RF chain of network node 110: transmit processor 214, TX MIMO processor 216, modem 232, antenna 234, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, and / or controller / processor 240. The RF chain may include one or more filters, mixers, oscillators, amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and / or other devices for converting analog signals (such as those used for transmission or reception via an air interface) to digital signals (such as those used for processing by one or more processors of network node 110). In some aspects, the RF chain may be a transceiver of network node 110, or may be included in such a transceiver.

[0073] In some examples, network node 110 may use communication unit 244 to communicate with the core network and / or other network nodes. Communication unit 244 may support wired and / or wireless communication protocols and / or connections, such as Ethernet, fiber optic, Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), and / or wired or wireless backhaul, etc. Network node 110 may use communication unit 244 to send and / or receive data associated with UE 120, or to execute network control signaling, etc. Communication unit 244 may include transceivers and / or interfaces, such as network interfaces.

[0074] UE 120 may include a collection of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r, where r ≥ 1), a collection of modems 254 (shown as modems 254a to 254u, where u ≥ 1), a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a data sink 260, a data source 262, a transmit processor 264, a TX MIMO processor 266, a controller / processor 280, a memory 282, and / or a communication manager 140, etc. One or more components of UE 120 may be included in housing 284. In some aspects, one or a combination of antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, or TX MIMO processor 266 may be included in a transceiver included in UE 120. The transceiver may be under the control of and used by one or more processors (such as controller / processor 280), and in some respects, may perform aspects of the methods, procedures, or operations described herein in conjunction with processor-readable code stored in memory 282. In some respects, UE 120 may include another interface, another communication component, and / or another component that facilitates communication with network node 110 and / or another UE 120.

[0075] For downlink communication from network node 110 to UE 120, the set of antennas 252 can receive downlink communication or signals from network node 110, and can receive the set of downlink signals (e.g., R Each received signal is provided to a set of modems 254. For example, each received signal may be provided to a corresponding demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of modem 254. Each modem 254 may use the corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each modem 254 may use the corresponding demodulator component to further demodulate or process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 may obtain the received symbols from the set of modems 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols where applicable, and may provide the detected symbols. Receiver processor 258 may process (e.g., decode) the detected symbols, may provide the decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260 (which may include data pipelines, data queues, and / or applications executed on UE 120), and may provide the decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280.

[0076] For uplink communication from UE 120 to network node 110, the transmitting processor 264 may receive and process data (“uplink data”) from data source 262 (such as data pipelines, data queues, and / or applications running on UE 120) and control information from controller / processor 280. The control information may include one or more parameters, feedback, one or more signal measurements, and / or other types of control information. In some aspects, the receiving processor 258 and / or controller / processor 280 may determine one or more parameters related to the transmission of uplink communication for received signals (such as those received from network node 110 or another UE). One or more parameters may include RSRP parameters, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameters, Reference Signal Receive Quality (RSRQ) parameters, Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) parameters, or Transmit Power Control (TPC) parameters, etc. The control information may include indications of RSRP parameters, RSSI parameters, RSRQ parameters, CQI parameters, TPC parameters, and / or other parameters. Control information can facilitate parameter selection and / or scheduling for UE 120 by network node 110.

[0077] Transmit processor 264 can generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals, such as uplink DMRS, uplink sounding reference signal (SRS), and / or another type of reference signal. Symbols from transmit processor 264 can be pre-decoded by TX MIMO processor 266 where applicable, and further processed by an assembly of modems 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM). TX MIMO processor 266 can (where applicable) perform spatial processing (e.g., pre-decoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide an output symbol stream set (e.g., ...) to the assembly of modems 254. U Each output symbol stream may be provided to a corresponding modulator component (shown as MOD) of modem 254. Each modem 254 may use the corresponding modulator component to process (e.g., modulate) the corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 254 may further use the corresponding modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain an uplink signal.

[0078] Modems 254a to 254u can transmit uplink signal sets (e.g., via a set of corresponding antennas 252) R One uplink signal or UUplink signals may include UCI communication, MAC-CE communication, RRC communication, or another type of uplink communication. Uplink signals may be transmitted on PUSCH, PUCCH, and / or another type of uplink channel. Uplink signals may carry one or more TBs of data. Sidelink data and control transmission (i.e., transmission directly between two or more UEs 120) may typically use techniques similar to those described for uplink data and control transmission, and may use sidelink-specific channels such as the Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH), Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH), and / or Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH).

[0079] One or more antennas in the set of antennas 252 or the set of antennas 234 may include one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, or one or more antenna arrays, etc., or may be included in one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, or one or more antenna arrays, etc. Antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, or with one or more transmitting or receiving components (such as...) Figure 2 An antenna module is a combination of one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more components. As used herein, "antenna" can mean one or more antennas, one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more collections of antenna elements, or one or more antenna arrays. "Antenna panel" can mean a group of antennas (such as antenna elements) arranged in an array or panel that can facilitate beamforming by manipulating the parameters of that group of antennas. "Antenna module" can mean a circuit that includes one or more antennas, and may also include one or more other components (such as filters, amplifiers, or processors) associated with integrating the antenna module into a wireless communication device.

[0080] In some examples, each antenna element of antenna 234 or antenna 252 may include one or more sub-elements for radiating or receiving radio frequency signals. For example, a single antenna element may include a first sub-element cross-polarized with a second sub-element, which can be used to independently transmit cross-polarized signals. Antenna elements may include patch antennas, dipole antennas, and / or other types of antennas arranged in a linear pattern, a two-dimensional pattern, or another pattern. The spacing between antenna elements can allow signals with a desired wavelength transmitted individually by the antenna elements to interact or interfere (e.g., to form a desired beam) in various directions. For example, given a desired wavelength or frequency range, the spacing may provide a quarter wavelength, half a wavelength, or another fraction of the wavelength between adjacent antenna elements to allow desired constructive and destructive interference modes of signals transmitted by individual antenna elements within that desired range.

[0081] The amplitude and / or phase of signals transmitted via antenna elements and / or sub-elements can be modulated and (e.g., by manipulating phase shifts, phase offsets, and / or amplitudes) shifted relative to each other to generate one or more beams; this is known as beamforming. The term "beam" can refer to the directional transmission of a wireless signal toward a receiving device or otherwise in a desired direction. "Beam" can also generally refer to the direction associated with such directional signal transmission, the set of directional resources associated with the signal transmission (e.g., angle of arrival, horizontal direction, and / or vertical direction), and / or a set of parameters indicating one or more aspects of the directional signal, the direction associated with the signal, and / or the set of directional resources associated with the signal. In some implementations, antenna elements can be individually selected or deselected for the directional transmission of a signal (or multiple signals) by controlling the amplitude of one or more corresponding amplifiers and / or the phase of the signal to form one or more beams. The shape of the beam (such as amplitude, width, and / or the presence of sidelobes) and / or the direction of the beam (such as the angle of the beam relative to the surface of the antenna array) can be dynamically controlled by modifying the phase shifts, phase offsets, and / or amplitudes of multiple signals relative to each other.

[0082] Different UEs 120 or network nodes 110 may include different numbers of antenna elements. For example, UE 120 may include a single antenna element, two antenna elements, four antenna elements, eight antenna elements, or different numbers of antenna elements. As another example, network node 110 may include eight antenna elements, 24 antenna elements, 64 antenna elements, 128 antenna elements, or different numbers of antenna elements. Generally speaking, a larger number of antenna elements provides increased control over the parameters used for beamforming compared to a smaller number of antenna elements, while a smaller number of antenna elements may be less complex to implement and can use less power. Multiple antenna elements can support multi-layer transmission, in which the same time and frequency resources are used to utilize spatial multiplexing to transmit a first layer of communication (which may include a first data stream) and a second layer of communication (which may include a second data stream).

[0083] Although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are illustrated as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component, or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0084] Figure 3 This is an illustration of an example decomposed base station architecture 300 according to the present disclosure. One or more components of the example decomposed base station architecture 300 may be, may include, or may be included in one or more network nodes (such as one or more network nodes 110). The decomposed base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310, which may communicate directly with the core network 320 via a backhaul link, or may communicate indirectly with the core network 320 via one or more decomposed control units (such as non-RT RIC 350 and / or near-RT RIC 370 associated with a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) framework 360 (e.g., via an E2 link)). The CU 310 may communicate with one or more DU 330s via a corresponding midhaul link (such as via an F1 interface). Each DU 330 may communicate with one or more RU 340s via a corresponding fronthaul link. Each RU 340 may communicate with one or more UE 120s via a corresponding RF access link. In some deployments, a UE 120 may be served simultaneously by multiple RU 340s.

[0085] Each component in the components of the decomposed base station architecture 300 (including CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, near-RT RIC 370, non-RT RIC 350, and SMO frame 360) may include one or more interfaces or may be coupled to one or more interfaces for receiving or transmitting signals, such as data or information, via wired or wireless transmission media.

[0086] In some respects, the CU 310 can be logically divided 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 310 can be deployed to communicate with one or more DU 330s for network control and signaling, as needed. Each DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions for controlling the operation of one or more RU 340s. For example, the DU 330 may host various layers, such as the RLC layer, MAC layer, or one or more PHY layers (such as one or more high PHY layers or one or more low PHY layers). Each layer (which may also be referred to as a module) can be implemented using an interface for signaling to other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 330, or for signaling to control functions hosted by the CU 310. Each RU 340 may implement lower-layer functionality. In some respects, the real-time and non-real-time aspects of communication with the control plane and user plane of the RU 340 can be controlled by the corresponding DU 330.

[0087] The SMO framework 360 supports RAN deployment and provisioning for both non-virtualized and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 360 supports the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which can be managed via operation and maintenance interfaces such as the O1 interface. For virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 360 can interact with cloud computing platforms such as the Open Cloud (O-Cloud) platform 390 to perform network element lifecycle management (such as instantiating virtualized network elements) via cloud computing platform interfaces such as the O2 interface. Virtualized network elements may include, but are not limited to, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, non-RT RIC 350, and / or near-RT RIC 370. In some aspects, the SMO framework 360 can communicate with hardware aspects of the 4G RAN, 5G NR RAN, and / or 6G RAN (such as the Open eNB (O-eNB) 380) via the O1 interface. Additionally or alternatively, the SMO framework 360 can communicate directly with each of one or more RUs 340 via the corresponding O1 interface. In some deployments, this configuration enables each DU 330 and CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture.

[0088] The non-RT RIC 350 may include or implement logical functions that enable non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, including artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) workflows for model training and updates, and / or policy-based guidance of applications and / or features in the near-RT RIC 370. The non-RT RIC 350 may be coupled to or communicate with the near-RT RIC 370, such as via an A1 interface. The near-RT RIC 370 may include or implement logical functions that enable near real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via an interface, such as an E2 interface, through data collection and actions, connecting one or more CU 310s, one or more DU 330s, and / or O-eNBs to the near-RT RIC 370.

[0089] In some aspects, to generate AI / ML models to be deployed in the near-RT RIC 370, the non-RT RIC 350 may receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server. This information can be utilized by the near-RT RIC 370 and can be received from non-network data sources or network functions at the SMO framework 360 or the non-RT RIC 350. In some examples, the non-RT RIC 350 or near-RT RIC 370 may modulate RAN behavior or performance. For example, the non-RT RIC 350 may monitor long-term trends and patterns in performance and may employ AI / ML models to perform corrective actions via the SMO framework 360 (such as reconfiguration via the O1 interface) or via the creation of RAN management policies (such as A1 interface policies).

[0090] As indicated above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 3 The examples described are different.

[0091] Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 Network node 110, its controller / processor 240, UE 120, UE 120's controller / processor 280, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, or any other component may implement one or more technologies or perform one or more operations associated with conveying capability information for UE beam prediction, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, network node 110's controller / processor 240, UE 120's controller / processor 280, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, or any other component may implement one or more technologies or perform one or more operations associated with conveying capability information for UE beam prediction, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. Figure 2 Any other component, CU 310, DU 330, or RU 340 may execute or instruct, for example Figure 9 The process 900 Figure 10The operation of process 1000 or other processes as described herein (alone or in combination with one or more other processors). Memory 242 may store data and program code for network node 110, CU 310, DU 330, or RU 340. Memory 282 may store data and program code for UE 120. In some examples, memory 242 or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instruction sets (e.g., code or program code) for wireless communication. Memory 242 may include one or more memories, such as a single memory or multiple different memories (of the same or different types). Memory 282 may include one or more memories, such as a single memory or multiple different memories (of the same or different types). For example, the instruction set may be made to be executed by one or more processors of network node 110, UE 120, CU 310, DU 330, or RU 340 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, transformation, or interpretation). Figure 9 The process 900 Figure 10 The process 1000 or other processes as described herein. In some examples, the execution instructions may include run instructions, transform instructions, compile instructions and / or interpret instructions, etc.

[0092] In some aspects, UE 120 includes components for transmitting capability information associated with the number of active resources capable of being simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction, wherein the capability information includes a first component and a second component, the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot; components for receiving configuration information associated with one or more measurement resources based at least in part on the transmitted capability information; and / or components for performing beam prediction using one or more measurement resources. Components for UE 120 to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of a communication manager 140, an antenna 252, a modem 254, a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a transmit processor 264, a TX MIMO processor 266, a controller / processor 280, or a memory 282.

[0093] In some aspects, network node 110 includes components for receiving capability information associated with the number of active resources capable of being simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction, wherein the capability information includes a first component and a second component, the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot; and / or components for transmitting configuration information associated with one or more measurement resources based at least in part on the received capability information. Components for enabling network node 110 to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of a communication manager 150, a transmit processor 220, a TX MIMO processor 230, a modem 232, an antenna 234, a MIMO detector 236, a receive processor 238, a controller / processor 240, a memory 242, or a scheduler 246.

[0094] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating example 400 of a physical channel and reference signal in a wireless network according to this disclosure. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the downlink channel and downlink reference signal can carry information from network node 110 to UE 120, and the uplink channel and uplink reference signal can carry information from UE 120 to network node 110.

[0095] As shown in the figure, downlink channels may include a PDCCH carrying downlink control information (DCI), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) carrying downlink data, or a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) carrying system information, among other examples. In some aspects, PDSCH communication may be scheduled by PDCCH communication. As further shown, uplink channels may include a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying uplink control information (UCI), a PUSCH carrying uplink data, or a physical random access channel (PRACH) used for initial network access, among other examples. In some aspects, UE 120 may send acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback (e.g., ACK / NACK feedback or ACK / NACK information) in the UCI on the PUCCH and / or PUSCH.

[0096] As further illustrated, downlink reference signals may include SSB, CSI-RS, demodulation reference signal (DMRS), positioning reference signal (PRS), or phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), etc. Also as shown, uplink reference signals may include SRS, DMRS, or PTRS, etc.

[0097] The SSB can carry information for initial network acquisition and synchronization, such as the primary synchronization signal (PSS), secondary synchronization signal (SSS), PBCH, and PBCH DMRS. The SSB is sometimes referred to as the synchronization signal / PBCH (SS / PBCH) block. In some respects, network node 110 can transmit multiple SSBs on multiple corresponding beams, and the SSBs can be used for beam selection.

[0098] CSI-RS can carry information for downlink channel estimation (e.g., downlink CSI acquisition), which can be used for scheduling, link adaptation, or beam management, etc. Network node 110 can configure a set of CSI-RS for UE 120, and UE 120 can measure this configured set of CSI-RS. Based at least in part on these measurements, UE 120 can perform channel estimation and report channel estimation parameters to network node 110 (e.g., in a CSI report), such as Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Pre-decoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), Layer Indicator (LI), Rank Indicator (RI), or RSRP, etc. Network node 110 can use the CSI report to select transmission parameters for downlink communication to UE 120, such as the number of transmission layers (e.g., rank), pre-decoding matrix (e.g., pre-decoder), modulation and decoding scheme (MCS), or refine the downlink beam (e.g., using a beam refinement process or beam management process), etc.

[0099] DMRS can carry information used to estimate radio channels for demodulating associated physical channels (e.g., PDCCH, PDSCH, PBCH, PUCCH, or PUSCH). The design and mapping of DMRS can be specific to the physical channels it is used to estimate. DMRS is UE-specific, can be beamformed, can be confined to scheduled resources (e.g., not transmitted over broadband), and can be transmitted only when necessary. As shown, DMRS is used for both downlink and uplink communication.

[0100] PTRS can carry information for compensating oscillator phase noise. Typically, phase noise increases with increasing oscillator carrier frequency. Therefore, PTRS can be used at high carrier frequencies (such as millimeter-wave frequencies) to mitigate phase noise. PTRS can be used to track the phase of the local oscillator and to achieve suppression of phase noise and common phase error (CPE). As shown, PTRS is used for both downlink communication (e.g., on PDSCH) and uplink communication (e.g., on PUSCH).

[0101] The PRS may carry information for improving the Observed Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA) positioning performance of the UE 120 by performing timing or ranging measurements based on signals transmitted by network node 110. For example, the PRS may be a pseudo-random quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) sequence mapped diagonally with frequency and time offsets to avoid conflicts with cell-specific reference signals and control channels (e.g., PDCCH). Generally, the PRS may be designed to improve the detectability of the UE 120, which may need to detect downlink signals from multiple neighboring network nodes to perform OTDOA-based positioning. Therefore, the UE 120 may receive PRS from multiple cells (e.g., a reference cell and one or more neighboring cells) and may report the Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) based on the OTDA measurements associated with the PRS received from the multiple cells. In some aspects, network node 110 may then calculate the positioning of the UE 120 based on the RSTD measurements reported by the UE 120.

[0102] The SRS can carry information for uplink channel estimation, which can be used for scheduling, link adaptation, pre-decoder selection, or beam management, etc. Network node 110 can configure one or more SRS resource sets for UE 120, and UE 120 can transmit SRS on the configured SRS resource sets. The SRS resource sets can have configurable uses, such as uplink CSI acquisition, downlink CSI acquisition for reciprocity-based operation, uplink beam management, etc. Network node 110 can measure the SRS, perform channel estimation at least in part based on these measurements, and use the SRS measurements to configure communication with UE 120.

[0103] As indicated above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 4 The examples described are different.

[0104] Figure 5 This is an illustration of example 500 of capability information for UE beam prediction according to this disclosure.

[0105] As shown by reference numeral 505, UE 120 can transmit, and network node 110 can receive, capability information associated with the number of active resources that can be simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction. The capability information may include at least one of a first component (e.g., for set B beams) or a second component (e.g., for set A beams), the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot. The first number of active resources may include the number of SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or CSI-IM resources within the time slot to be measured and used to derive: the first few resources of another set of SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or virtual resources for predicting L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or virtual resources. Additionally or alternatively, the second number of active resources may include the number of active SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or virtual resources within the time slot that are not to be measured or monitored and will be used to derive: the first few resources of another set of SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or virtual resources for predicting L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or virtual resources within the time slot. K A virtual resource can be defined at least in part based on the strength of the corresponding L1 RSRP or L1 SINR. A virtual resource may be a resource that is not actually sent by network node 110, but includes a resource identifier (ID) that can be referenced by UE 120 when reporting the predicted characteristics of the virtual resource.

[0106] In some aspects, resources (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources) of a first number of resources (and / or indicated in the first component) may be considered active within the time slot, based on the transmission of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM within the time slot. In some aspects, resources (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS, or dummy resources) of a second number of resources (and / or indicated in the second component) may be considered active within the time slot, based on the resource being configured as a predicted target resource by one or more CSI reporting settings (e.g., as a set A beam relative to each of the respective CSI reporting settings in the respective CSI reporting settings) and based on whether the associated CSI reporting setting is periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. If the associated CSI reporting setting is periodic, the SSB, CSI-RS, or dummy resource may be considered active, starting when the periodic CSI reporting setting is configured with RRC and ending when the periodic CSI reporting setting is released. If the associated CSI reporting setting is semi-persistent (SP), the SSB, CSI-RS, or virtual resource can be considered active from the end of the application of the command that activates the associated SP CSI reporting and the end of the application of the command that deactivates the associated SP CSI reporting. If the associated CSI reporting setting is non-periodic, the SSB, CSI-RS, or virtual resource can be considered active from the end of the PDCCH containing the request that triggers the associated AP CSI reporting and the end of the PUSCH containing the schedule of the associated AP CSI reporting.

[0107] Resources can be counted once or multiple times within a time slot. Resources in the first quantity of resources can be configured as measurement resources (e.g., as a set of B beams relative to each corresponding CSI report setting in the respective CSI report settings) by one or more CSI report settings. In the first example, if resources in the first quantity of resources (e.g., SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or CSI-IM resources) need to be measured for use... N If at least one of the following different types of measurements (e.g., including L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, channel impulse response (CIR), angle of arrival (AOA), or angle of departure (AoD)) is used, then the resource can be counted at least in the time slots in which it is considered active (as described above). NFor L1 RSRP, if an L1 RSRP measurement is associated with multiple CSI reporting settings (which can be similarly applied to CIR / AoA / AoD), the resource can be counted as a single count. For L1 SINR, if an L1 SINR measurement is associated with multiple CSI reporting settings, the resource can be counted as a single count, provided that the paired channel measurement ratio (CMR) and / or interference measurement ratio (IMR) are the same. Alternatively, if there is an SSB or CSI-RS resource paired with the L1 SINR measurement in a time slot associated with one or more CSI reporting settings, the resource can be counted as a single count. M If there are multiple different CMRs or IMRs, then the resources can be counted. M The associated CSI report settings (for reporting beam prediction results of set A) can be configured or indicated individually to determine which measurement type to consider. This can further restrict the network from configuring or indicating the measurement types supported by the UE based solely on individual UE capability reports. In the second example, the resources of the first number of resources (e.g., SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or CSI-IM resources) can always be counted once (counted once). Regardless of what type of measurement (including at least one of L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, CIR, AoA, or AoD) the considered SSB or CSI-RS resource requires, the resource is counted once only in the time slot where it is considered active. For example, UE 120 may only preferably use L1 RSRP as an artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) input (AI / ML), and the network may not be able to control which measurement type UE 120 uses. In one example, in the CSI reporting settings used to report the prediction results of set A beams, network node 110 may only configure which SSBs or CSI-RS resources should be used as set B beams, but may not indicate to UE 120 which measurement to consider.

[0108] Resources in the second quantity of resources can be configured as prediction target resources (e.g., as a set A beam relative to each of the respective CSI report settings in the respective CSI report settings). In the first example, if resources in the second quantity of resources (e.g., SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or virtual resources) are predicted for use... N Different types of measurements (e.g., including L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or front) K If at least one of the resources is present, then the resource can be counted at least once in the time slot where it is considered an activity (as described above). NFor L1 RSRP, if an L1 RSRP prediction is associated with multiple CSI reporting settings (which may be further conditioned on multiple CSI reporting settings that share the same measurement resource and / or the target prediction resource), the resource can be counted once. Alternatively, if an L1 RSRP prediction is associated with multiple CSI reporting settings (which may be further conditioned on multiple CSI reporting settings that do not share the same measurement resource and / or the target prediction resource), the resource can be counted once. N For L1 SINR, a resource can be counted once if the paired CMR / IMR is the same and the L1 SINR measurement is associated with multiple CSI report settings (which may be further conditioned on multiple CSI report settings that share the same measurement resource and / or prediction target resource). Alternatively, even if the resource is paired with the same CMR / IMR, the resource can be counted if the L1 SINR prediction is associated with multiple CSI report settings (which may be further conditioned on multiple CSI report settings that do not share the same measurement resource and / or prediction target resource). N Next. If there is an SSB or CSI-RS resource paired with the L1 SINR measurement in the time slot associated with one or more CSI reporting settings. M If there are multiple different CMRs / IMRs, then the resources can be counted. M Next. For the previous K For the prediction of a resource, if the resource is defined according to L1 RSRP, then the resource can be counted against L1 RSRP and can follow the rules for L1 RSRP described above. If it is based on L1 SINR strength or previous... K If a resource is defined as a resource, then the resource can be counted against L1 SINR and can follow the rules described above for L1 SINR. The forecast type can be based at least in part on the report quantity indicator configured by the associated CSI report settings. In the second example, the resources of the second number of resources (e.g., SSB resources, CSI-RS resources, or virtual resources) can always be counted once (only once). Regardless of what type of forecast (e.g., L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or previous) is required for the resource under consideration. K (Each resource is counted only once in the time slot where it is considered active).

[0109] In some aspects, resources included in the second number of resources (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS, or virtual resources) can be configured or designated as forecast target resources associated with CSI reporting settings, and forecast target resources can be further associated with multiple timeframes (e.g., past, present, or future timeframes). In the first example, resources can be counted once, regardless of the number of such timeframes. In the second example, resources associated with forecast targets...N At a corresponding time, resources can be counted. N Second-rate.

[0110] In some aspects, UE 120 can report the total number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources "configured for measurement" for beam measurement and beam prediction within a time slot. In the first example, UE 120 can report the joint maximum number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources "configured for measurement" across L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, path loss, BFD, RLM, beam identifier, AoA, AoD, and / or CIR (which may be collectively referred to as regular beam management) within a time slot, and may optionally report beam prediction measurement resources used for beam prediction. In some aspects, multiple counts in beam prediction for set B beams can be considered. For L1 RSRP, path loss, or new beam identifier, if a resource is used for L1 RSRP, path loss, or new beam identifier, the resource can be counted once, even if such measurement is associated with multiple CSI reporting settings (whether for regular beam management or beam prediction). For L1 SINR, as long as the resource is... N Each CSI report setting references resources that can be appended to the count. N Next. Choose another location, as long as resources and... M Each different CMR or IMR pairing (across conventional beam management and beam prediction) can be counted. M For BFD or RLM, a resource can be additionally counted once. For AoA, AoD, or CIR, a resource can be additionally counted once for AoA (and similarly for AoD or CIR). In some other respects, single-count beam prediction can be used for ensemble B-beams. Resources can be considered for L1 RSRP measurements and are jointly counted once across other L1 RSRP, path loss, or new beam measurements. Alternatively, resources can be considered for a separate type of measurement and are counted only once (in addition to other types of measurements). For L1 SINR, as long as the resource is... N Each CSI report setting references resources that can be appended to the count. N Next. Choose another location, as long as resources and... M Each different CMR or IMR pairing (across conventional beam management and beam prediction) can be counted. M For BFD or RLM, the resource can be additionally counted once. For AoA, AoD, or CIR, the resource can be additionally counted once for AoA (similarly, for AoD or CIR). In the second example, UE 120 can report activities that do not require actual measurement or monitoring within the time slot but are to be processed for export. KThe total number of SSBs, CSI-RS, or virtual resources for the predicted L1 RSRP, L1 SINR (for beam prediction only), or LSI-RS of each resource. Resources counted in the second example are not mixed or shared with resources counted in the first example. UE 120 can report the joint maximum number of resources across SSBs, CSI-RS, or virtual resources, and can further report individual numbers for SSBs, CSI-RS, and virtual resources. Network node 110 guarantees that neither capability is violated. In some aspects, the reporting of the maximum number of resources as described in the first and second examples can be associated with a single component carrier within a single frequency range. In some other aspects, the reporting of the maximum number of resources as described in the first and second examples can be associated with all component carriers across multiple component carriers within a single frequency range. In some other aspects, the reporting of the maximum number of resources as described in the first and second examples can be associated with all component carriers across multiple frequency ranges.

[0111] In one example, the UE may have the capability of eight SSBs, CSI-RS, or CSI-IMs for a maximum number of “configured as measurement” resources per “timeslot”. Eight counts may exist during the latter half of the timeslot, and another eight counts may exist during the first half of the next timeslot. In this example, the UE 120 may need to prepare sixteen “configured as measurement” resources for that equivalent timeslot. This can be applied to both set B beams and set A beams. In some aspects, the count of active resources within a timeslot (“per timeslot”) can be defined based on an average across multiple timeslots (e.g., using one or more system frames or subframes). This average can be applied individually to different timeslot formats and / or different beam sets (e.g., set A beams and set B beams). In some aspects, this can be applied individually to different timeslots and / or different duplex formats (e.g., frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD)). For example, this average may be applied only to downlink time slots during a longer window period, and UE 120 may report individual capabilities based on the percentage range of downlink symbols in the dynamic TDD format, and / or UE 120 may report separate capabilities for FDD and TDD systems. This may not apply to resources included in a second number of resources (e.g., set A beam). For example, set A beam may be considered active regardless of whether the time slot is a downlink or uplink time slot.

[0112] In some respects, the number of active resources that can be active simultaneously within a time slot can be the maximum number of active resources that can be configured for RRC. For example, UE 120 may send capability information indicating the ability to configure SSBs, CSI-RS, or virtual resources for beam prediction purposes using RRC. The first component (e.g., for set B beams) may indicate the number of RRC-configured SSBs, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources to be measured and used to derive the following: prediction of L1 RSRP, L1SINR, or other parameters for another set of SSBs, CSI-RS, or virtual resources. K One resource. The second component (e.g., for ensemble A beam) may indicate that actual measurement or monitoring is not required (when considered active) but is to be processed to derive predicted L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or pre-L1 RSRP. K The number of RRC configuration SSBs, CSI-RS, or virtual resources for each resource (when considered active). In the first example, UE 120 can report the total number of RRC configuration SSBs, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources across regular beam management and beam prediction. In the first example, UE 120 can report the joint maximum number of RRC configuration SSBs, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources for measurements used for L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, path loss, BFD, RLM, new beam identifier, AoA, AoD, or CIR, and optionally for beam prediction measurement resources. In the second example, UE 120 can report resources that do not require actual measurement or monitoring (when considered active) but are not processed to derive predicted L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or pre-L1 SINR. K The total number of SSBs, CSI-RSs, or virtual resources configured for each resource (used only for beam prediction). In some respects, the resource counts used in the first example will not be mixed or shared with the resource counts used in the second example. In some respects, UE 120 can report the joint maximum number across SSBs, CSI-RSs, and virtual resources, and can additionally report the individual numbers for SSBs, CSI-RSs, and virtual resources. Network node 110 guarantees that neither capability is violated.

[0113] As shown by reference numeral 510 in the accompanying drawings, network node 110 can transmit, and UE 120 can receive, configuration information associated with one or more measurement resources. The configuration information may be based at least in part on capability information. For example, the configuration information may be based at least in part on a first number of active resources to be measured within a time slot and a second number of active resources not to be measured within a time slot.

[0114] As shown by reference numeral 515 in the accompanying figure, UE 120 may use one or more measurement resources to perform beam prediction. For example, UE 120 may use one or more measurement resources and perform beam prediction based on a first number of active resources to be measured within a time slot and a second number of active resources not to be measured within a time slot.

[0115] As indicated above, Figure 5 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 5 The examples described are different.

[0116] Figures 6A to 6B These are examples 600 and 605 illustrating active resources for UE beam prediction according to this disclosure.

[0117] like Figure 6A As shown by reference numeral 610, UE 120 can identify one or more time slots that are "active" and "configured for measurement" in the periodic CSI-RS (P-CSI-RS) resource. One or more time slots may be associated with a set of B beams used for transmission (Tx) (e.g., via the periodic (P) CSI-RS resource). As shown by reference numeral 615, UE 120 can detect a DCI that triggers an aperiodic (AP) CSI report. As shown by reference numeral 620, one or more time slots that are "active" in the virtual resource may follow the DCI. As shown by reference numeral 625, UE 120 can transmit a PUSCH carrying an AP CSI report.

[0118] In some aspects, resources (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources) of a first number of resources (and / or indicated in the first component) may be considered active within the time slot, based on the transmission of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM within the time slot. In some aspects, resources (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS, or dummy resources) of a second number of resources (and / or indicated in the second component) may be considered active within the time slot, based on the resource being configured as a predicted target resource by one or more CSI reporting settings (e.g., as a set A beam relative to each of the respective CSI reporting settings in the respective CSI reporting settings) and based on whether the associated CSI reporting setting is periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. If the associated CSI reporting setting is periodic, the SSB, CSI-RS, or dummy resource may be considered active, starting when the periodic CSI reporting setting is configured with RRC and ending when the periodic CSI reporting setting is released. If the associated CSI reporting setting is semi-persistent (SP), the SSB, CSI-RS, or virtual resource can be considered active from the end of the application of the command that activates the associated SP CSI report and the end of the application of the command that deactivates the associated SP CSI report. As shown by reference numeral 620, if the associated CSI reporting setting is non-periodic, the SSB, CSI-RS, or virtual resource is considered active from the end of the PDCCH containing the request that triggers the associated AP CSI report and the end of the PUSCH containing the schedule of the associated AP CSI report.

[0119] In some aspects, such as Figure 6B As shown, UE 120 can communicate using set A beam 630 (via virtual resources) and set B beam 635 (via P-CSI-RS resources). UE 120 can receive associated CSI report settings 640. The associated CSI report settings can indicate the associated measurement resource 645 for set B beam 635. Additionally or alternatively, the associated CSI report settings 640 can indicate one or more associated prediction target resources 650 for set A beam 630. As indicated by reference numeral 655, UE 120 can report predicted L1 RSRP triggered by AP CSI reports, which can be associated with the associated CSI report settings.

[0120] As indicated above, Figures 6A to 6B This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figures 6A to 6B The descriptions are different.

[0121] Figures 7A to 7BThese are illustrations of examples 700 and 705 illustrating the counting of active resources for UE beam prediction according to this disclosure.

[0122] like Figure 7A As shown, the resources in the second quantity (such as combined) Figure 5 The described resource can be configured as a prediction target resource (e.g., as a set A beam relative to each of the respective CSI report settings in the respective CSI report settings). In the first example, if a resource in the second number of resources (e.g., SSB resource, CSI-RS resource, or virtual resource) is predicted for use N Different types of measurements (e.g., including L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or front) K If at least one of the resources is present, then the resource can be counted at least once in the time slot where it is considered an activity (as described above). N For L1 RSRP, in one example, if an L1 RSRP prediction is associated with multiple CSI reporting settings (such as CSI reporting setting 710, CSI reporting setting 715, and CSI reporting setting 720), the resource can be counted once. This can be further conditional on multiple CSI reporting settings that share the same measurement resource and / or the target resource for prediction. Alternatively, if an L1 RSRP prediction is associated with multiple CSI reporting settings (such as CSI reporting setting 710, CSI reporting setting 715, and CSI reporting setting 720), the resource can be counted once. N This can be further conditional on multiple CSI reports that do not share the same measurement resources and / or forecast target resources.

[0123] like Figure 7B As shown, in some aspects, resources included in the second number of resources (e.g., associated with set A beam 725 (via virtual resources)) can be configured or indicated as prediction target resources associated with CSI reporting settings, and prediction target resources can be further associated with multiple time periods (e.g., past, present, or future time periods). As indicated by reference numeral 730, in the first example, resources can be counted once, regardless of the number of such time periods. In the second example, for resources associated with prediction targets... N At a corresponding time, resources can be counted. N Second-rate.

[0124] As indicated above, Figures 7A to 7B This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figures 7A to 7B The examples described are different.

[0125] Figure 8 These are illustrations of examples 800 and 805 of the capability report for beam management according to this disclosure.

[0126] UE 120 may report the total number of SSB, CSI-RS, or CSI-IM resources "configured for measurement" for beam measurement and beam prediction within a time slot. Resources may include one or more resources for regular beam management 810, a set of B beams for beam prediction input 815, and joint resources 820 including at least a portion of the resources for regular beam management 810 and the set of B beams for beam prediction input 815. As shown in Example 800, UE 120 may report the maximum joint number of joint resources "configured for measurement" across L1RSRP, L1 SINR, path loss, BFD, RLM, beam identifier, AoA, AoD, and / or CIR (which may be collectively referred to as regular beam management) within a time slot, and may optionally report beam prediction measurement resources for beam prediction. In some aspects, multiple counts in beam prediction for set B beams may be considered. For L1 RSRP, path loss, or new beam identification, if a resource is used for L1 RSRP, path loss, or new beam identification, the resource can be counted once, even if such measurements are associated with multiple CSI reporting settings (whether for regular beam management or beam prediction). For L1 SINR, as long as the resource is used for L1 RSRP, path loss, or new beam identification, the resource can be counted once. N Each CSI report setting references resources that can be appended to the count. N Next. Choose another location, as long as resources and... M Each different CMR or IMR pairing (across conventional beam management and beam prediction) can be counted. M For BFD or RLM, a resource can be additionally counted once. For AoA, AoD, or CIR, a resource can be additionally counted once for AoA (and similarly for AoD or CIR). In some other respects, single-count beam prediction can be used for ensemble B-beams. Resources can be considered for L1 RSRP measurements and are jointly counted once across other L1 RSRP, path loss, or new beam measurements. Alternatively, resources can be considered for a separate type of measurement and are counted only once (in addition to other types of measurements). For L1 SINR, as long as the resource is... N Each CSI report setting references resources that can be appended to the count. N Next. Choose another location, as long as resources and... M Each different CMR or IMR pairing (across conventional beam management and beam prediction) can be counted. M For BFD or RLM, a resource can be additionally counted once. For AoA, AoD, or CIR, a resource can be additionally counted once for AoA (and similarly for AoD or CIR).

[0127] As shown in Example 805, UE 120 can report the total number of SSBs, CSI-RS, or virtual resources active within a time slot that do not require actual measurement or monitoring within the time slot but are processed to derive the preceding data. K The predicted L1 RSRP and L1 SINR for each resource (for beam prediction only). The resources counted in the second example are not mixed or shared with those counted in the first example. As shown by reference numeral 825, UE 120 can report the joint maximum number of resources across SSBs, CSI-RS, or virtual resources, and can further report individual numbers for SSBs, CSI-RS, and virtual resources. Network node 110 guarantees that neither capability is violated. In some aspects, the reporting of the maximum number of resources as described in the first and second examples can be associated with a single component carrier within a single frequency range. In some other aspects, the reporting of the maximum number of resources as described in the first and second examples can be associated with all component carriers across multiple component carriers within a single frequency range. In some other aspects, the reporting of the maximum number of resources as described in the first and second examples can be associated with all component carriers across multiple component carriers across multiple frequency ranges.

[0128] As indicated above, Figure 8 This is provided as an example. Other examples are available with reference to [the relevant information]. Figure 8 The examples described are different.

[0129] Figure 9 This is a diagram illustrating an example process 900 performed, for example, at a UE or a device of a UE, according to this disclosure. Example process 900 is an example in which a device or UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with capability information for UE beam prediction.

[0130] like Figure 9 As shown, in some aspects, process 900 may include: transmitting capability information associated with the number of active resources capable of being simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction, wherein the capability information includes a first component and a second component, the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot (box 910). For example, the UE (e.g., using...) Figure 11 The transmitting component 1104 and / or communication manager 1106 depicted herein can transmit capability information associated with the number of active resources that can be simultaneously active within a time slot for UE beam prediction, wherein the capability information includes a first component and a second component, the first component indicating a first number of active resources to be measured within the time slot, and the second component indicating a second number of active resources not to be measured within the time slot, as described above.

[0132] like Figure 9 As further shown, in some aspects, process 900 may include: performing beam prediction using one or more measurement resources (box 930). For example, the UE (e.g., using...) Figure 11 The communication manager 1106 depicted above can perform beam prediction using one or more measurement resources.

[0133] Process 900 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.
