Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently configuring user equipment (UE) for cross-link interference measurement and reporting, particularly due to limitations in UE processing capabilities and the latency associated with higher layer signaling.

Innovation Solution

The described techniques involve configuring a UE for cross-link interference measurement and reporting based on its processing capabilities, where the UE transmits control signaling indicating its processing capability, receives configuration signaling from the network, and generates and reports cross-link interference measurements accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If higher layer signaling is used for UE configuration, then configuration can be provided, but latency is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovelatencyVSAvoidsignaling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential configuration parameters from higher layer signaling and places them directly in the downlink control information (DCI) message. This allows the most time-critical configuration elements to be transmitted with lower latency while maintaining the ability to provide more detailed configuration through higher layer signaling when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The configuration information is segmented into two parts: essential parameters included in the DCI message for low-latency delivery, and supplementary parameters provided through higher layer signaling. This segmentation allows the system to balance between latency reduction and comprehensive configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If UE processing capability is not considered, then configuration can be simplified, but measurement and reporting accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference measurement accuracyVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring the configuration parameters specifically to each UE's processing capability. The network entity configures the UE based on its reported capability level, providing optimized parameters that match the UE's actual processing abilities, thereby improving measurement accuracy without imposing excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes configuration parameters based on the UE's processing capability. The UE reports its capability, and the network adjusts the configuration parameters accordingly, allowing the same system to adapt to different UE capabilities and maintain optimal measurement accuracy across diverse devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If cross-link interference measurement is implemented, then network reliability is improved, but UE processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork operation reliabilityVSAvoidUE processing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial action by configuring the UE to perform cross-link interference measurement only to the extent of its processing capability. The UE reports its capability, and the network configures appropriate measurement parameters that achieve sufficient reliability without demanding more processing power than the UE can provide.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit control signaling indicating a processing capability of the UE for cross-link interference measurement and reporting. The UE may receive, in response to the control signaling indicating the processing capability, control signaling indicating a configuration of the UE for the cross-link interference measurement and reporting. The UE may transmit, to a network entity, a message indicating a cross-link interference measurement generated by the UE according to the configuration.
