[0002] The following relates to wireless communications, including techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations.BACKGROUND

[0003] Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE- Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communications system may include one or more base stations, each supporting wireless communication for communication devices, which may be known as user equipment (UE).SUMMARY

[0057] In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may report interference to a network entity to enable the network entity to schedule the UE in such a way that mitigates or avoids the interference. However, a delay may exist between a first time at which the UE measures and reports the interference and a second time at which the network entity uses the interference measurements in scheduling of the UE, such that interference experienced by the UE may vary between the first time and the second time. That is, the interference reported by the UE at the first time may not be the same as interference experienced by the UE at the second time, such that scheduling of the UE by the network entity based on the reported interference does not effectively mitigate or avoid the interference, reducing system performance. As such, the UE may report predicted interference for future resources to enable advance resource allocation techniques at the network entity and enable the network entity to use enhanced link adaption algorithms. However, in some cases, the predicted interference may vary significantly (e.g., variation may exceed a threshold) across sub-bands, beams, slots, or any combination thereof, while in some other cases, the predicted interference may not vary significantly (e.g., variation may not exceed the threshold) across the subbands, the beams, the slots, or any combination thereof. Thus, a payload of an interference report indicating the predicted interference may vary depending on whether there is significant variation in the predicted interference or insignificant variation in the predicted interference. As such, in some cases, the network entity may configure the UE to report interference predicted on a large window of future resources, however, thismay result in increased high overhead. Conversely, the network entity may configure the UE to report interference predicted on a small window of future resources (e.g., or a single future resources), however, this may not allow the network entity to perform advanced link adaption techniques (e.g., the report may be insufficient). As such, in some cases, the UE may transmit multiple interference reports indicating the predicted interference. However, transmitting multiple interference reports may increase complexity and increase latency.

[0058] Accordingly, techniques described herein may enable the UE to report predicted interference via a single interference report by adjusting or updating a payload size of the interference report, a payload structure of the interference report, or both. For example, in some cases, the network entity may configure the UE to report predicted interference using a single interference report with a fixed payload size. As such, the UE may autonomously update the payload size, the payload structure, a quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, and may transmit an indication of the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, the update quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, to the network entity. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may transmit an interference report in accordance with the fixed payload size and the network entity may update the payload size, the payload structure, the quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, based on the predicted interference (e.g., in the first interference report). That is, the network entity may transmit an indication of the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, the update quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, to the UE. Additionally, or alternatively, if the fixed payload size is not sufficient to report the predicted interference, the UE may transmit an interference report including a first portion of the predicted interference using the fixed payload size and transmit a control message including a second portion of the predicted interference according to an updated payload size.

[0059] Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may modify a structure of the interference report. For example, in some cases, the network entity may configure the UE to report predicted interference using a single interference report with a fixed payload size and, if the fixed payload size includes more fields than needed to report predicted interference for a quantity of future resources, the UE may report NULL onfields with no predicted interference. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may vary encoding, quantization, or both, of the predicted interference based on the quantity of future resources. Additionally, or alternatively, the network entity may configure the UE with multiple reporting resources, where each reporting resource is associated with a different payload size, a different structure, or both. As such, the UE may select a report resource from the multiple reporting resources based on the predicted interference. In some cases, the UE may report predicted interference for each time interval (e.g., slot, symbol), each frequency interval (e.g., sub-band, resource block (RB)), each spatial resource (e.g., beam), or any combination thereof. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may group future resources and report predicted interference for each group of future resources.

[0060] Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Aspects of the disclosure are then described in the context of interference report payloads, a timing diagram, and a process flow. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations.

[0061] FIG. 1 shows an example of a wireless communications system 100 that supports techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 100 may include one or more devices, such as one or more network devices (e.g., network entities 105), one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE- Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a New Radio (NR) network, or a network operating in accordance with other systems and radio technologies, including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0062] The network entities 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system 100 and may include devices in different forms or having different capabilities. In various examples, a network entity 105 may be referred to as a network element, a mobility element, a radio access network (RAN) node, or network equipment, among other nomenclature. In some examples, networkentities 105 and UEs 115 may wirelessly communicate via communication link(s) 125 (e.g., a radio frequency (RF) access link). For example, a network entity 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area) over which the UEs 115 and the network entity 105 may establish the communication link(s) 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which a network entity 105 and a UE 115 may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0063] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout a coverage area 110 of the wireless communications system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of supporting communications with various types of devices in the wireless communications system 100 (e.g., other wireless communication devices, including UEs 115 or network entities 105), as shown in FIG. 1.

[0064] As described herein, a node of the wireless communications system 100, which may be referred to as a network node, or a wireless node, may be a network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), a UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, a node may be a UE 115. As another example, a node may be a network entity 105. As another example, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second node or a third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a network entity 105. In yet other aspects of this example, the first, second, and third nodes may be different relative to these examples. Similarly, reference to a UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like may include disclosure of the UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like being a node. For example, disclosure that a UE 115 is configured to receive information from a network entity 105 also discloses that a first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0065] In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with a core network 130, or with one another, or both. For example, network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130 via backhaul communication link(s) 120 (e.g., in accordance with an SI, N2, N3, or other interface protocol). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with one another via backhaul communication link(s) 120 (e.g., in accordance with an X2, Xn, or other interface protocol) either directly (e.g., directly between network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with one another via a midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., in accordance with a midhaul interface protocol) or a fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., in accordance with a fronthaul interface protocol), or any combination thereof. The backhaul communication link(s) 120, midhaul communication links 162, or fronthaul communication links 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g., an electrical link, an optical fiber link) or one or more wireless links (e.g., a radio link, a wireless optical link), among other examples or various combinations thereof. A UE 115 may communicate with the core network 130 via a communication link 155.

[0066] One or more of the network entities 105 or network equipment described herein may include or may be referred to as a base station 140 (e.g., a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an NR base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB), a 5GNB, a next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology). In some examples, a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, standalone) base station architecture, which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within one network entity (e.g., a network entity 105 or a single RAN node, such as a base station 140).

[0067] In some examples, a network entity 105 may be implemented in a disaggregated architecture (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture), which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among multiple network entities (e.g., network entities 105), such as an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, an open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or avirtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, a network entity 105 may include one or more of a central unit (CU), such as a CU 160, a distributed unit (DU), such as a DU 165, a radio unit (RU), such as an RU 170, a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), such as an RIC 175 (e.g., a Near-Real Time RIC (Near-RT RIC), a Non-Real Time RIC (Non-RT RIC)), a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) system, such as an SMO system 180, or any combination thereof. An RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, a remote radio head (RRH), a remote radio unit (RRU), or a transmission reception point (TRP). One or more components of the network entities 105 in a disaggregated RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of the network entities 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more of the network entities 105 of a disaggregated RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., a virtual CU (VCU), a virtual DU (VDU), a virtual RU (VRU)).

[0068] The split of functionality between a CU 160, a DU 165, and an RU 170 is flexible and may support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, or any combinations thereof) are performed at a CU 160, a DU 165, or an RU 170. For example, a functional split of a protocol stack may be employed between a CU 160 and a DU 165 such that the CU 160 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack and the DU 165 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. In some examples, the CU 160 may host upper protocol layer (e.g., layer 3 (L3), layer 2 (L2)) functionality and signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC), service data adaption protocol (SDAP), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)). The CU 160 (e.g., one or more CUs) may be connected to a DU 165 (e.g., one or more DUs) or an RU 170 (e.g., one or more RUs), or some combination thereof, and the DUs 165, RUs 170, or both may host lower protocol layers, such as layer 1 (LI) (e.g., physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and may each be at least partially controlled by the CU 160. Additionally, or alternatively, a functional split of the protocol stack may be employed between a DU 165 and an RU 170 such that the DU 165 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack and the RU 170 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. The DU 165 may support one or multiple different cells (e.g., via one ormultiple different RUs, such as an RU 170). In some cases, a functional split between a CU 160 and a DU 165 or between a DU 165 and an RU 170 may be within a protocol layer (e.g., some functions for a protocol layer may be performed by one of a CU 160, a DU 165, or an RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer are performed by a different one of the CU 160, the DU 165, or the RU 170). A CU 160 may be functionally split further into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. A CU 160 may be connected to a DU 165 via a midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., Fl, Fl-c, Fl-u), and a DU 165 may be connected to an RU 170 via a fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, a midhaul communication link 162 or a fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented in accordance with an interface (e.g., a channel) between layers of a protocol stack supported by respective network entities (e.g., one or more of the network entities 105) that are in communication via such communication links.

[0069] In some wireless communications systems (e.g., the wireless communications system 100), infrastructure and spectral resources for radio access may support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to a core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more of the network entities 105 (e.g., network entities 105 or IAB node(s) 104) may be partially controlled by each other. The IAB node(s) 104 may be referred to as a donor entity or an IAB donor. A DU 165 or an RU 170 may be partially controlled by a CU 160 associated with a network entity 105 or base station 140 (such as a donor network entity or a donor base station). The one or more donor entities (e.g., IAB donors) may be in communication with one or more additional devices (e.g., IAB node(s) 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication link(s) 120). IAB node(s) 104 may include an IAB mobile termination (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by one or more DUs (e.g., DUs 165) of a coupled IAB donor. An IAB-MT may be equipped with an independent set of antennas for relay of communications with UEs 115 or may share the same antennas (e.g., of an RU 170) of IAB node(s) 104 used for access via the DU 165 of the IAB node(s) 104 (e.g., referred to as virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, the IAB node(s) 104 may include one or more DUs (e.g., DUs 165) that support communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node(s) 104, UEs 115) within the relay chain orconfiguration of the access network (e.g., downstream). In such cases, one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture (e.g., the IAB node(s) 104 or components of the IAB node(s) 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0070] In the case of the techniques described herein applied in the context of a disaggregated RAN architecture, one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture may be configured to support test as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by a UE 115 or a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may additionally, or alternatively, be performed by one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture (e.g., components such as an IAB node, a DU 165, a CU 160, an RU 170, an RIC 175, an SMO system 180).

[0071] A UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (loT) device, an Internet of Everything (loE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, vehicles, or meters, among other examples.

[0072] The UEs 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as UEs 115 that may sometimes operate as relays, as well as the network entities 105 and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0073] The UEs 115 and the network entities 105 may wirelessly communicate with one another via the communication link(s) 125 (e.g., one or more access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined PHY layer structure for supporting the communication link(s) 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication link(s)125 may include a portion of an RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) that is operated according to one or more PHY layer channels for a given RAT (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each PHY layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system 100 may support communication with a UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers. Communication between a network entity 105 and other devices may refer to communication between the devices and any portion (e.g., entity, sub-entity) of a network entity 105. For example, the terms “transmitting,” “receiving,” or “communicating,” when referring to a network entity 105, may refer to any portion of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, a CU 160, a DU 165, a RU 170) of a RAN communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities, such as one or more of the network entities 105).

[0074] Signal waveforms transmitted via a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may refer to resources of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, in which case the symbol period and subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The quantity of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), such that a relatively higher quantity of resource elements (e.g., in a transmission duration) and a relatively higher order of a modulation scheme may correspond to a relatively higher rate of communication. A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of an RF spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., a spatial layer, a beam), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE 115.

[0075] The time intervals for the network entities 105 or the UEs 115 may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of Ts= l / (A / mflx■ Ay) seconds, for which fmaxmay represent a supported subcarrier spacing, and Nf may represent a supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0076] Each frame may include multiple consecutively-numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a quantity of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable quantity of slots, and the quantity of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a quantity of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems, such as the wireless communications system 100, a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., Ay) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation.

[0077] A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., a quantity of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally, or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0078] Physical channels may be multiplexed for communication using a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed for signaling via a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a set ofsymbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to an amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to UEs 115 (e.g., one or more UEs) or may include UE-specific search space sets for sending control information to a UE 115 (e.g., a specific UE).

[0079] In some examples, a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170) may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving coverage area, such as the coverage area 110. In some examples, coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) associated with different technologies may overlap, but the coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) may be supported by the same network entity (e.g., a network entity 105). In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas, such as a coverage area 110, associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities (e.g., the network entities 105). The wireless communications system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the network entities 105 support communications for coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) using the same or different RATs.

[0080] The wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). The UEs 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more services such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The termsultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0081] In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured to support communicating directly with other UEs (e.g., one or more of the UEs 115) via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link, such as a D2D communication link 135 (e.g., in accordance with a peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocol). In some examples, one or more UEs 115 of a group that are performing D2D communications may be within the coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communications being configured by (e.g., scheduled by) the network entity 105. In some examples, one or more UEs 115 of such a group may be outside the coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 or may be otherwise unable to or not configured to receive transmissions from a network entity 105. In some examples, groups of the UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications may support a one-to- many (1 :M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to one or more of the UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, a network entity 105 may facilitate the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In some other examples, D2D communications may be carried out between the UEs 115 without an involvement of a network entity 105.

[0082] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs 115 served by the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140) associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to IP services 150 for one or more network operators. The IP services 150 may include access to the Internet,Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service.

[0083] The wireless communications system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, which may be in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, which may be referred to as clusters, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs 115 located indoors. Communications using UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than one hundred kilometers) compared to communications using the smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0084] The wireless communications system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) RAT, or NR technology using an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. While operating using unlicensed RF spectrum bands, devices such as the network entities 105 and the UEs 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations using unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating using a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples.

[0085] A network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170) or a UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a network entity 105 or a UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as anantenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a network entity 105 may be located at diverse geographic locations. A network entity 105 may include an antenna array with a set of rows and columns of antenna ports that the network entity 105 may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE 115. Likewise, a UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally, or alternatively, an antenna panel may support RF beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port.

[0086] Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating along particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation).

[0087] In some cases, the wireless communications system 200 may support UE 115 reporting of predicted interference via a single interference report via adjustment or updating of a payload size of the interference report, a payload structure of the interference report, or both. For example, in some cases, the network entity 105 may configure the UE 115 to report predicted interference using a single interference report with a fixed payload size. As such, the UE 115 may autonomously update the payload size, the payload structure, a quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, and may transmit an indication of the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, the update quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, to the network entity 105. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE115 may transmit an interference report using the fixed payload size and the network entity 105 may update the payload size, the payload structure, the quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, based on the predicted interference (e.g., in the first interference report). That is, the network entity 105 may transmit an indication of the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, the update quantity of future resources to report on, or any combination thereof, to the UE 115. Additionally, or alternatively, if the fixed payload size is not sufficient to report the predicted interference, the UE 115 may transmit an interference report including a first portion of the predicted interference using the fixed payload size and transmit a control message including a second portion of the predicted interference.

[0088] Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115 may modify a structure of the interference report. For example, in some cases, the network entity 105 may configure the UE 115 to report predicted interference using a single interference report with a fixed payload size and, if the fixed payload size includes more fields than needed to report predicted interference for a quantity of future resources, the UE 115 may report NULL on fields with no predicted interference. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115 may vary encoding, quantization, or both, of the predicted interference based on the quantity of future resources. Additionally, or alternatively, the network entity 105 may configure the UE 115 with multiple reporting resources, where each reporting resource is associated with a different payload size, a different structure, or both. As such, the UE 115 may select a report resource from the multiple reporting resources based on the predicted interference. In some cases, the UE 115 may report predicted interference for each time interval (e.g., slot, symbol), each frequency interval (e.g., sub-band, RB), each spatial resource (e.g., beam), or any combination thereof. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115 may group future resources and report predicted interference for each group of future resources.

[0089] FIG. 2 shows an example of a wireless communications system 200 that supports techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the wireless communications system 200 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100. For example, the wireless communications system 200 may include one or more UEs 115 (e.g., a UE 115-a) andone or more network entities 105 (e.g., a network entity 105-a), which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.

[0090] In some wireless communications systems, such as the wireless communications system 200, variations in interference experienced by a UE 115, such as the UE 115-a, a network entity 105, such as the network entity 105-a, or both, may impact performance of the wireless communications system 200 (e.g., a 5G system). As such, to support interference mitigation, the UE 115-a may report measured interference to the network entity 105-a to enable the network entity 105-a to schedule the UE 115-a in such a way that mitigates or avoids the interference. However, a delay may exist between a first time at which the UE 115-a measures and reports the interference and a second time at which the network entity 105-a schedules the UE 115-a based on the reported interference, such that interference experienced by the UE 115-a may vary between the first time and the second time. That is, the interference reported by the UE 115-a at the first time may not be the same as interference experienced by the UE 115-a at the second time (e.g., may not be accurate at the second time, the interference may change), such that scheduling of the UE 115-a by the network entity 105-a does not effectively mitigate or avoid the interference, reducing system performance.

[0091] As such, the UE 115-a may report predicted interference for future resources 215 to enable advance resource allocation techniques at the network entity 105-a and enable the network entity 105-a to use enhanced link adaption algorithms. That is, one or more parameters (e.g., configuration parameters) at neighbor network entities 105 may impact temporal, frequency, spatial, or any combination thereof, correlation of interference (e.g., inter-cell interference) observed by the UE 115-a. For example, interference experienced (e.g., observed) by the UE 115-a and variations in the interference may be based on scheduling behavior of the network entities 105, such as scheduling type (e.g., proportional fair, round robin), quantity of active UEs 115, traffic type at the neighbor network entities 105, resource utilization (e.g., loading), beam management, channel variations (e.g., between interfering network entities 105 and the UE 115-a), or any combination thereof. As such, the UE 115-a (e.g., and / or network entity 105-a) may observe interference (e.g., interference patterns) on previous resources, such that the UE 115-a (e.g., and / or network entity 105-a) may predict interference on future resources 215, enabling advances scheduling techniques. In somecases (e.g., due to interference patterns observed at the UE 115-a being based on many factors), the UE 115-a may utilize a machine learning model (e.g., artificial intelligence) to predict interference for the future resources 215. That is, the machine learning model may learn interference pattern variations from previous resources to enable interference prediction for the future resources 215.

[0092] In some cases, the wireless communications system 200 may implement one or more enhancements at the UE 115-a, the network entity 105-a, or both, based on the predicted interference (e.g., from the machine learning model). For example, a scheduler (e.g., link adaption) at the network entity 105-a may perform scheduler enhancements, such that the scheduler may exclude resources predicted (e.g., anticipated) with high interference (e.g., a threshold level of interference) from a resource allocation, may perform modulation and coding scheme (MCS) adaption or rank adaption based on the predicted interference, or both, which may increase system throughput and energy saving at the network entity 105-a. Additionally, or alternatively, a radio frequency (e.g., digital) front end at the UE 115-a may perform front end enhancement, such that the radio frequency front end may perform automatic gain control (AGC) gain state prediction based on the predicted interference, may activate or deactivate additional reception blocks (e.g., front end linearization, additional filters, etc.) based on the predicted interference, or both. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115-a may perform Demback enhancements, such that the UE 115-a may perform autocorrelation matrix, Rnn, prediction (e.g., smoothing) for advances receivers based on the predicted interference, may select one or more receiver algorithms based on the predicted interference (e.g., signal to noise ratio (SINR)), or both. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115-a may perform channel state feedback (CSF) enhancements, sch that the UE 115-a may reduce overhead associated with interference measurement resources based on the predicted interference, may adjust channel state information (CSI) prediction and compression (e.g., as well as channel prediction) based on the predicted interference, or both. Such enhancements at the UE 115-a may result in improved reliability and power saving at the UE 115-a.

[0093] In some cases, interference variation may be greater than channel variations (e.g., especially for beamformed channels). As such, predicting the autocorrelation matrix, Rnn, to enable advanced scheduling techniques and advance reference signaldesigns schemes may increase (e.g., enhance) overall throughput and latency of the wireless communications system 200. Additionally, interference reporting from the UE 115-a to the network entity 105-a enables advanced resource allocation strategies at the network entity 105-a and enables enhanced link adaption algorithms. For example, the network entity 105-a may schedule the UE 115-a and adapt MCS and rank of transmissions based on the predicted interference. That is, the network entity 105-a may adapt the MCS to the predicted interference (e.g., to increase user perceived throughput (UPT) gains compared to conventional scheduling techniques) and may avoid scheduling the UE 115-a on resources expected to have high interference (e.g., interference above a threshold).

[0094] To enable advanced scheduling and link adaption strategies, as described above, the UE 115-a may report predicted interference on multiple future resources 215 (e.g., slots, sub-bands, beams). However, in some cases, the predicted interference may vary significantly (e.g., exceed a threshold variance) across sub-bands, beams, slots, or any combination thereof, while in some other cases, the predicted interference may not vary significantly (e.g., may fail to exceed a threshold variance) across the sub-bands, the beams, the slots, or any combination thereof. Thus, a payload of an interference report 210 indicating the predicted interference may vary depending on whether there is significant variation in the predicted interference or insignificant variation in the predicted interference (e.g., and an environment of the UE 115-a). As such, in some cases (e.g., to enable advanced link adaption techniques for significant variation), the network entity 105-a may configure the UE 115-a to report interference predicted on a large window of future resources 215, however, this may result in increased high overhead. Conversely (e.g., to reduce signaling overhead), the network entity 105-a may configure the UE 115-a to report interference predicted on a small window of future resources 215 (e.g., or a single future resource 215), regardless of interference variations, however, this may not allow the network entity 105-a to perform advanced link adaption techniques (e.g., the report may be insufficient for significant variations in predicted interference). As such, in some cases, the UE 115-a may transmit multiple interference reports 210 indicating the predicted interference to enable adaption of the payload of the interference report 210. However, transmitting multiple interference reports 210 may increase complexity and increase latency.

[0095] Accordingly, techniques described herein may enable the UE 115-a to report predicted interference via a single interference report 210 by adjusting or updating a payload size of the interference report 210, a payload structure of the interference report 210, or both, to reduce reporting overhead, reduce complexity, reduce latency, and support efficient interference prediction reporting to enable advanced link adaption techniques. For example, the UE 115-a may receive a control message 205-a indicating for (e.g., configuring) the UE 115-a to report predicted interference via a single interference report 210 (e.g., CSI report) with a fixed payload size (e.g., and a fixed payload structure). Additionally, in some cases, the control message 205-a may indicate a set of future resources 215 (e.g., future physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources) for the UE 115-a to report predicted interference on. As such, the UE 115-a may autonomously update a payload size of the interference report 210, a structure of the interference report 210, or both, based on the predicted interference (e.g., variations in interference fluctuations) to enable adapted (e.g., intelligent) scheduling and link adaption by the network entity 105-a.

[0096] That is, the UE 115-a may transmit an interference report 210-a, with the fixed payload size, indicating predicted interference for a pre-configured quantity of future resources 215. For example, the pre-configured quantity of future resources 215 may be three future resources 215, such that the UE 115-a may transmit the interference report 210-a indicating predicted interference for a future resource 215-a, a future resource 215-b, and a future resource 215-c. Additionally, the UE 115-a may transmit, to the network entity 105-a, a control message 205-b (e.g., medium access controlcontrol element (MAC-CE)) indicating an updated payload size, an updated payload structure, or both. The updated payload structure may indicate an updated quantity of future resources 215 for which interference is reported, as well as one or more parameters associated with the predicted interference reporting (e.g., quantization, coding, grouping of future resources 215). Thus, the UE 115-a may transmit an interference report 210-b according to the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, or both, indicating predicted interference for a future resource 215-d, a future resource 215-e, and a future resource 215-f.

[0097] In some cases, the UE 115-a may continue to update the payload size, the payload structure, or both, after each pre-configured quantity of future resources 215(e.g., based on the predicted interference reported in the interference report 210-b). For example, the UE 115-a may transmit an additional control message 205 after the interference report 210-b updating the payload size, the payload structure, or both, a second time, and may transmit an additional interference report 210 according to the newly updated payload size, the newly updated payload structure, or both, indicating predicted interference for a future resource 215-g, a future resource 215-h, and a future resource 215-i (e.g., not depicted). In some other cases, the UE 115-a may determine not to update the payload size, the payload structure, or both, after transmitting the interference report 210-b (e.g., based on the predicted interference reported in the interference report 210-b), such that the UE 115-a transmits an additional interference report indicating predicted interference for the future resource 215-g, the future resource 215-h, and the future resource 215-i according to the same payload size, the same payload structure, or both, associated with the interference report 210-b.

[0098] Additionally, or alternatively, the network entity 105-a may indicate updates in payload size, payload structure, or both, to the UE 115-a based on predicted interference. For example, the UE 115-a may receive a control message 205-a indicating for the UE 115-a to report predicted interference via a single interference report 210 (e.g., CSI report) with a fixed payload size (e.g., and a fixed payload structure).Additionally, in some cases, the control message 205-a may indicate a set of future resources 215 for which the UE 115-a is to report predicted interference, such as the future resource 215-a, the future resource 215-b, the future resource 215-c, and the future resource 215-d. As such, the UE 115-a may transmit an interference report 210-a indicating predicted interference for the future resource 215-a, the future resource 215- b, the future resource 215-c, and the future resource 215-d according to the fixed payload size. Additionally, the network entity 105-a may transmit a control message 205-c indicating an updated payload size, an updated payload structure, or both, based on the predicted interference reported in the interference report 210-a (e.g., network entity 105-a observance of the predicted interference), such that the UE 115-a may transmit an interference report 210-b indicating predicted interference for the future resource 215-e, the future resource 215-f, the future resource 215-g, and the future resource 215-h according to the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, or both. In such cases, the UE 115-a may report the predicted interference for the futureresource 215-e, the future resource 215-f, the future resource 215-g, and the future resource 215-h based on the control message 205-c indicating the UE 115-a is to report predicted interference for four future resources 215.

[0099] In some cases, the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, or both, indicated to the UE 115-a via the control message 205-b may be based on a recommendation or request from the UE 115-a. That is, UE 115-a may transmit a control message 205-b (e.g., MAC-CE) requesting the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, or both, such that the control message 205-c may include an acknowledgement, or confirmation, of the updated payload size, the updated payload structure, or both.

[0100] Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115-a may receive a control message 205-a indicating for the UE 115-a to report predicted interference for a set of future resources 215 via a single interference report 210 (e.g., CSI report) with a fixed payload size (e.g., and a fixed payload structure) and, if the fixed payload size is not large enough to transmit the predicted interference for the set of future resources 215, the UE 115-a may report remaining predicted interference using an additional control message 205. That is, for example, the UE 115-a may receive a control message 205-a indicating for the UE 115-a to report predicted interference for the future resource 215-a, the future resource 215-b, the future resource 215-c, the future resource 215-d, and the future resource 215-e using a single interference report 210 with a fixed payload size. However, the fixed payload size may not be large enough to report the predicted interference (e.g., report sufficient representation of predicted interference fluctuations) for the future resource 215-a, the future resource 215-b, the future resource 215-c, the future resource 215-d, and the future resource 215-e. As such, the UE 115-a may transmit an interference report 210-a indicating predicted interference for the future resource 215-a, the future resource 215-b, and the future resource 215-c according to the fixed payload size, and may transmit a control message 205-b indicating predicted interference for the future resource 215-d and the future resource 215-e according to an updated payload size. In another example, the UE 115-a may be configured to report predicted interference on 10 future resources 215 using an interference report 210 (e.g., uplink control information (UCI)), such that interference predictions on additionalfuture resources 215 may be reported by the UE 115-a via a control message 205 (e.g., MAC-CE).

[0101] Though described in the context of predicted interference (e.g., predicted interference information), this is not to be regarded as a limitation of the present disclosure. In this regard, predicted interference may further be classified in terms of predicted interference power, predicted SINK, predicted autocorrelation matrix (e.g., 7?nn), or the like thereof.

[0102] FIG. 3 shows examples of interference report payloads 300 (e.g., an interference report payload 300-a, an interference report payload 300-b, and an interference report payload 300-c) that supports techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the interference report payloads 300 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the wireless communications system 200, or both. For example, the interference report payloads 300 may be implemented by one or more UEs 115 and one or more network entities 105, which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.

[0103] As described previously, in some cases, a UE 115 may adjust or update a payload structure of an interference report to enable the UE 115 to report predicted interference for one or more future resources via a single interference report. For example, the UE 115 may receive a control message indicating for the UE 115 to report predicted interference 315 via a single interference report with (e.g., conditioned to) a fixed payload size. As such, the UE 115 may measure predicted interference 315 for the one or more future resources and report the predicted interference 315 via the single interference report with the fixed payload size, where the UE 115 may adjust a payload structure of the interference report based on a quantity of the one or more future resources. As such, the UE 115 may indicate, via the interference report (e.g., in the payload), the quantity of the one or more future resources with predicted interference 315. That is, the interference report may include a resource indication 305 indicating the quantity of the one or more future resources, an identifier (ID) 305 associated with each future resource of the one or more future resources, and predicted interference 315 associated with each ID 310.

[0104] In some cases, the fixed payload size may be associated with reporting interference for a threshold quantity of future resources (e.g., the fixed payload size may be associated with a default payload structure that may be adjusted by the UE 115). For example, the fixed payload size may be associated with (e.g., support) reporting predicted interference 315 for four future resources. As such, in some cases, the UE 115 may transmit the interference report payload 300-a indicating predicted interference 315 for four future resources (e.g., the UE 115 may predict 4 variations in the predicted interference 315 and thus utilizes all fields in the interference report payload 300-a). In such cases, the interference report payload 300-a may indicate, via a resource indication 305-a, that the interference report payload 300-a indicates predicted interference 315 for four future resources, including a first future resource indicated by an ID 310-a, a second future resource indicated by an ID 310-b, a third future resource indicated by an ID 310-c, and a fourth future resource indicated by an ID 310-d. Additionally, the interference report payload 300-a may indicate predicted interference 315-a associated with the ID 310-a (e.g., the first future resource), predicted interference 315-b associated with the ID 310-b (e.g., the second future resource), predicted interference 315-c associated with the ID 310-c (e.g., the third future resource), and predicted interference 315-d associated with the ID 310-d (e.g., the fourth future resource).

[0105] In some cases, the fixed payload size may be larger than a quantity of the one or more future resources with predicted interference 315. That is, the threshold quantity of future resources associated with the fixed payload size may be greater than the quantity of the one or more future resources reported by the UE 115. As such, in some cases, one or more fields (e.g., CSI fields) associated with the fixed payload size may not be used by the UE 115 and the UE 115 may input (e.g., report) an indication of no predicted interference 315, such as an indication of NULL 320, in each field with no predicted interference (e.g., each unused field). For example, the fixed payload size may be associated with reporting predicted interference 315 for four future resources (e.g., may include multiple fields for reporting predicted interference for the four future resources) and the UE 115 may transmit the interference report payload 300-b indicating predicted interference 315 for two future resources (e.g., the UE 115 may predict 2 variations in the predicted interference 315 and thus utilizes a portion of the fields in the interference report payload 300-b). In such cases, the interference reportpayload 300-b may indicate, via a resource indication 305-b, that the interference report payload 300-b indicates predicted interference 305for two future resources, including a fifth future resource indicated by an ID 310-e, and a fifth future resource indicated by an ID 310-f. Additionally, the interference report payload 300-b may indicate predicted interference 315-e associated with the ID 310-e (e.g., the fourth future resource) and predicted interference 315-f associated with the ID 310-f (e.g., the fifth future resource). Further, the UE 115 may input a NULL 320-a, a NULL 320-b, a NULL 320-c, and a NULL 320-d in four fields not used by the UE 115 (e.g., fields without an ID 310 or interference 315).

[0106] In some cases, the fixed payload size may be larger than a quantity of the one or more future resources with predicted interference 315, such that the UE 115 may modify (e.g., adjust or update) an encoding, a quantization, or both, of the predicted interference 315 based on a quantity of the one or more future resources. In other words, the UE 115 may modify a quantity of bits used to report predicted interference 315 for each future resource of the one or more future resources. For example, the fixed payload size may be associated with reporting predicted interference 315 for four future resources (e.g., a quantity of bits in each field of the fixed payload is based on reporting predicted interference 315 for four future resources) and the UE 115 may transmit the interference report payload 300-c indicating predicted interference 315 for two future resources (e.g., the UE 115 may predict 2 variations in the predicted interference 315), such that the UE 115 modifies an encoding, a quantization, or both, of the predicted interference 315 for the two future resources. In such cases, the interference report payload 300-c may indicate, via a resource indication 305-c, that the interference report payload 300-c indicates predicted interference 315 for two future resources, including a seventh future resource indicated by an ID 310-g, and an eighth future resource indicated by an ID 310-h. Additionally, the interference report payload 300-c may indicate predicted interference 315-g associated with the ID 310-g (e.g., the seventh future resource) and predicted interference 315-h associated with the ID 310-h (e.g., the eight future resource), where a quantity of bits used to report the predicted interference 315-g and a quantity of bits used to report the predicted interference 315-h is increased (e.g., doubled) based on the UE 115 reporting predicted interference 315 for two future resources (e.g., instead of four future resources).

[0107] In some cases, a mapping between an encoding, a quantization, or both, of predicted interference and a quantity of future resources associated with the predicted interference 315 may be pre-configured at the UE 115 (e.g., based on one or more standardized rules). Additionally, or alternatively, the mapping between the encoding, the quantization, or both, of the predicted interference 315 and the quantity of future resources associated with the predicted interference 315 may be indicated by the network entity 105. That is, the network entity 105 may transmit a control message (e.g., RRC, MAC-CE, DCI) indicating the mapping between the encoding, the quantization, or both, of the predicted interference 315 and the quantity of future resources associated with the predicted interference.

[0108] Though described in the context of reporting predicted interference 315 for a quantity of one or future resources less than a threshold quantity of future resources associated with a fixed payload size, this is not to be regarded as a limitation of the present disclosure. In this regard, the UE 115 may decrease a quantity of bit a quantity of bits used to report predicted interference 315 for each future resource of the one or more future resources based on the quantity of one or future resources being greater than the threshold quantity of future resources associated with the fixed payload size.

[0109] FIG. 4 shows an example of a wireless communications system 400 that supports techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the wireless communications system 400 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the wireless communications system 200, the interference report payloads 300, or any combination thereof. For example, the wireless communications system 400 may include one or more UEs 115 (e.g., a UE 115-b) and one or more network entities 105 (e.g., a network entity 105-b), which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.

[0110] In some cases, to enable a UE 115, such as the UE 115-b, to report predicted interference for one or more future resources via a single interference report 410, a network entity 105, such as the network entity 105-b, may configure the UE 115 with multiple uplink reporting resources 415 (e.g., PUCCH resources), where each of the multiple uplink reporting resources 415 is associated with a different payload size, a different payload structure, or both. For example, the network entity 105-b maytransmit, to the UE 115-b, a control message 405 (e.g., MAC-CE, RRC, DCI) indicating (e.g., assigning) multiple uplink reporting resources 415, including an uplink reporting resource 415-a, an uplink reporting resource 415-b, and an uplink reporting resource 415-c, for the UE 115-b to report predicted interference. In such cases, each of the uplink reporting resource 415-a, the uplink reporting resource 415-b, and the uplink reporting resource 415-c may be associated with a different payload size, a different payload structure, or both. For example, the uplink reporting resource 415-a may be associated with a first payload size, the uplink reporting resource 415-b may be associated with a second payload size, and the uplink reporting resource 415-c may be associated with a third payload size, where the first payload size is smaller than the third payload size, which is smaller than the second payload size.[OHl] Thus, the UE 115-b may predict interference (e.g., measure predicted interference, generate predicted interference, determine predicted interference) on one or more future resources and may determine a payload size associated with (e.g., needed) reporting the predicted interference based on the predicted interference (e.g., based on fluctuations in the predicted interference). Thus, the UE 115-b may select one of the uplink reporting resource 415-a, the uplink reporting resource 415-b, and the uplink reporting resource 415-c based on the determined payload size (e.g., predicted interference payload). In other words, the UE 115-b may compare the determined payload size to the first payload size, the second payload size, and the third payload size to determine which uplink reporting resource 415 to use to transmit an indication of the predicted interference (e.g., interference report). Thus, the UE 115-b may report the predicted interference via the selected uplink reporting resource 415 (e.g., having a payload size that meets the determine payload).

[0112] FIG. 5 shows an example of a timing diagram 500 that supports techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the timing diagram 500 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the wireless communications system 200, the interference report payloads 300, the wireless communications system 400, or any combination thereof. For example, the timing diagram 500 may include one or more UEs 115 and one or morenetwork entities 105, which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.

[0113] In some cases, to enable a UE 115 to report predicted interference for one or more future resources via a single interference report, the UE 115 may report predicted interference on a group-based basis. That is, the UE 115 may report predicted interference on grouped resources to reduce reporting overhead. For example, the UE 115 may measure (e.g., generate, determine) predicted interference 505 over multiple time resources (e.g., slots, symbols), multiple frequency resources (e.g., sub-bands, resource blocks), multiple spatial resources (e.g., beams), or any combination thereof, and may divide the predicted interference into groups 515. That is, the UE 115 may divide the time resources, the frequency resources, the spatial resources, or any combination thereof, into multiple groups 515 based on the predicted interference.

[0114] As such, the UE 115 may report a quantity of groups 515 (e.g., predicted interference groups) and predicted interference associated with each group 515. In such cases, the UE 115 may report a starting resource (e.g., starting slot 510, starting subband, starting beam) and a length (e.g., in quantity of slots, sub-bands, beams) or ending resource associated with each group 515 (e.g., each group of resources). Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115 may report the predicted interference associated with each group in terms of a mean predicted interference. That is, the UE 115 may predict interference associated with each resource (e.g., time, frequency, spatial) in a group 515 and may average the predicted interference across the resources in the group 515 to determine the mean predicted interference for the group 515. In some examples, the UE 115 may group resources, such that predicted interference associated with each resource in a group 515 is within a threshold tolerance of a mean predicted interference for the group 515.

[0115] For example, as depicted in FIG.5, the UE 115 may determine predicted interference 505 over multiple slots (e.g., time resources) and may divide the predicted interference 505 into 5 groups (e.g., based on variations in the predicted interference 505), including a group 515-a, a group 515-b, a group 515-c, a group 515-d, and a group 515-d. As such, the UE 115 may report a starting slot 510 and a length (e.g., in a quantity of slots) or ending slot associated with each group 515, as well as a subset of the predicted interference 505 associated with each group 515. For example, the UE 115may transmit an indication of a starting slot 510-a and a length of 10 slots associated with the group 515-a, a starting slot 510-b and a length of 11 slots associated with the group 515-b, a starting slot 510-c and a length of 16 slots associated with the group 515- c, a starting slot 510-d and a length of 9 slots associated with the group 515-d, and a starting slot 510-e and a length of 11 slots associated with the group 515-e. Additionally, the UE 115 may transmit an indication of predicted interference 505-a associated with the group 515-a, predicted interference 505-b associated with the group 515-b, predicted interference 505-c associated with the group 515-c, predicted interference 505-d associated with the group 515-d, and predicted interference 505-e associated with the group 515-e.

[0116] Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115 may report predicted interference 505 for each time resource, each frequency resource, each spatial resource, or any combination thereof.

[0117] FIG. 6 shows an example of a process flow 600 that supports techniques for reporting predicted interference to enable advanced link adaptations in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the process flow 600 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the wireless communications system 200, the interference report payloads 300, the wireless communications system 400, the timing diagram 500, or any combination thereof. For example, the process flow 600 may include one or more UEs 115 (e.g., a UE 115-c) and one or more network entities 105 (e.g., a network entity 105-c), which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.

[0118] At 605, the UE 115-c may receive, from the network entity 105-c, a first control message that indicates the UE is to report predicted interference for a set of resources (e.g., future resources) via a single interference report. In some cases, the first control message may indicate a first payload size (e.g., quantity of bits), a first payload structure (e.g., quantity of fields, a first quantity of resources for which to report predicted interference, encoding, quantization, etc.), or any combination thereof. In some cases, the first payload size may be associated with a first quantity of bits for reporting predicted interference.

[0119] At 610, the UE 115-c may predict interference (e.g., measure predicted interference) associated with the set of resources based on receiving the first control message.

[0120] In some cases, at 615, the UE 115-c may transmit a first interference report indicating the predicted interference in accordance with the first payload size, the first payload structure, or both. In some cases, the first interference report may include a request to update the first payload size to a second payload size, the first payload structure to a second payload structure, or both.

[0121] In some cases, at 620, the UE 115-c may receive, from the network entity 105-c, a second control message (e.g., MAC-CE message, RRC message, DCI message) indicating the second payload size, the second payload structure (e.g., a second quantity of the set of resources), or both, based at least in part on transmitting the first interference report. That is, the network entity 105-c may update the first payload size to the second payload size, the first payload structure to the second payload structure, or both, based on the predicted interference indicated in the first interference report. In some cases, the network entity 105-c may transmit the second control message based on the request included in the first interference report.

[0122] At 625, the UE 115-c may determine a payload size of a second interference report, a payload structure of a second interference report, or both, based on the predicted interference. For example, in some cases, the UE 115-c may update (e.g., autonomously) the first payload size to a third payload size, the first payload structure to a third payload structure, or both, based on the predicted interference. In some cases, the UE 115-c may update the first payload structure to the third payload structure based on a first quantity of resources associated with the first payload size relative to a second quantity of resources associated with the predicted interference (e.g., a second quantity of the set of resources). In some cases, the UE 115-c may input NULL into a subset of fields based on the first quantity of resources associated with the first payload size exceeding the second quantity of resources associated with the predicted interference. In some other cases, the UE 115-c may adjust a quantity of bits (e.g., from the first quantity of bits) for reporting the predicted interference for each resource of the set of resources based on the first quantity of the resources relative to the second quantity resources.

[0123] In some cases, the UE 115-c may update the first payload size to a third payload size, the first payload structure to a third payload structure, or both, based on selecting a reporting resource from multiple reporting resources configured for the UE 115-c, where the selected reporting resource is associated with the third payload structure, the third payload size, or both.

[0124] Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 115-c may update the first payload size to the second payload size, the first payload structure to the second payload structure, or both, based on the second control message.

[0125] In some cases, the UE 115-c may determine to transmit a first subset of the predicted interference in the second interference report and a second subset of the predicted interference in a fourth control message. Thus, the UE 115-a may update the first payload size to the second payload size, the first payload structure to the second payload structure, or both, for the fourth control message.

[0261] Although aspects of an LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, or NR system may be described for purposes of example, and LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, or NR terminology may be used in much of the description, the techniques described herein are applicable beyond LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, or NR networks. For example, the described techniques may be applicable to various other wireless communications systems such as Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, Flash-OFDM, as well as other systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0262] Information and signals described herein may be represented using any of a variety of different technologies and techniques. For example, data, instructions, commands, information, signals, bits, symbols, and chips that may be referenced throughout the description may be represented by voltages, currents, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or particles, optical fields or particles, or any combination thereof.

[0263] The various illustrative blocks and components described in connection with the disclosure herein may be implemented or performed using a general-purpose processor, a DSP, an ASIC, a CPU, a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural processing unit (NPU), an FPGA or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described herein. A general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor but, in the alternative, the processor may be any processor, controller, microcontroller, or state machine. A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices (e.g., a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, multiple microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with a DSP core,or any other such configuration). Any functions or operations described herein as being capable of being performed by a processor may be performed by multiple processors that, individually or collectively, are capable of performing the described functions or operations.

[0264] The functions described herein may be implemented using hardware, software executed by a processor, firmware, or any combination thereof. If implemented using software executed by a processor, the functions may be stored as or transmitted using one or more instructions or code of a computer-readable medium. Other examples and implementations are within the scope of the disclosure and appended claims. For example, due to the nature of software, functions described herein may be implemented using software executed by a processor, hardware, firmware, hardwiring, or combinations of any of these. Features implementing functions may also be physically located at various positions, including being distributed such that portions of functions are implemented at different physical locations.

[0265] Computer-readable media includes both non-transitory computer storage media and communication media including any medium that facilitates transfer of a computer program from one location to another. A non-transitory storage medium may be any available medium that may be accessed by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, non-transitory computer-readable media may include RAM, ROM, electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), flash memory, compact disk (CD) ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other non-transitory medium that may be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of instructions or data structures and that may be accessed by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer or a general-purpose or special-purpose processor. Also, any connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. For example, if the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL), or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave, then the coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave are included in the definition of computer-readable medium. Disk and disc, as used herein, include CD, laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc (DVD), floppy disk, and Blu-ray disc. Disks mayreproduce data magnetically, and discs may reproduce data optically using lasers. Combinations of the above are also included within the scope of computer-readable media. Any functions or operations described herein as being capable of being performed by a memory may be performed by multiple memories that, individually or collectively, are capable of performing the described functions or operations.

[0266] As used herein, including in the claims, “or” as used in a list of items (e.g., a list of items prefaced by a phrase such as “at least one of’ or “one or more of’) indicates an inclusive list such that, for example, a list of at least one of A, B, or C means A or B or C or AB or AC or BC or ABC (i.e., A and B and C). Also, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall not be construed as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an example step that is described as “based on condition A” may be based on both a condition A and a condition B without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall be construed in the same manner as the phrase “based at least in part on.”

[0267] As used herein, including in the claims, the article “a” before a noun is open- ended and understood to refer to “at least one” of those nouns or “one or more” of those nouns. Thus, the terms “a,” “at least one,” “one or more,” and “at least one of one or more” may be interchangeable. For example, if a claim recites “a component” that performs one or more functions, each of the individual functions may be performed by a single component or by any combination of multiple components. Thus, the term “a component” having characteristics or performing functions may refer to “at least one of one or more components” having a particular characteristic or performing a particular function. Subsequent reference to a component introduced with the article “a” using the terms “the” or “said” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, a component introduced with the article “a” may be understood to mean “one or more components,” and referring to “the component” subsequently in the claims may be understood to be equivalent to referring to “at least one of the one or more components.” Similarly, subsequent reference to a component introduced as “one or more components” using the terms “the” or “said” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, referring to “the one or more components” subsequently in the claims may be understood to be equivalent to referring to “at least one of the one or more components.”

[0268] The term “determine” or “determining” encompasses a variety of actions and, therefore, “determining” can include calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (such as via looking up in a table, a database, or another data structure), ascertaining, and the like. Also, “determining” can include receiving (e.g., receiving information), accessing (e.g., accessing data stored in memory), and the like. Also, “determining” can include resolving, obtaining, selecting, choosing, establishing, and other such similar actions.

[0269] In the appended figures, similar components or features may have the same reference label. Further, various components of the same type may be distinguished by following the reference label by a dash and a second label that distinguishes among the similar components. If just the first reference label is used in the specification, the description is applicable to any one of the similar components having the same first reference label irrespective of the second reference label or other subsequent reference label.

[0270] The description set forth herein, in connection with the appended drawings, describes example configurations and does not represent all the examples that may be implemented or that are within the scope of the claims. The term “example” used herein means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration” and not “preferred” or “advantageous over other examples.” The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing an understanding of the described techniques. These techniques, however, may be practiced without these specific details. In some figures, known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the described examples.

[0271] The description herein is provided to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make or use the disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosure will be apparent to a person having ordinary skill in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Thus, the disclosure is not limited to the examples and designs described herein but is to be accorded the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
