  • Patent number: 11902816
    Abstract: In a wireless network, a base station may configure a victim user equipment (UE) experiencing interference with a periodic measurement resource using Layer 3 (L3) signaling, and the UE may report cross-link interference (CLI) measurements to the base station using L3 messages. However, using L3 signaling to configure interference measurement and reporting may result in an inflexible interference measurement configuration and a long latency to report CLI and/or self-interference feedback. Furthermore, although Layer 1 and/or Layer 2 (L1/L2) CLI reporting may be more suitable to track and adapt to dynamic changes in interference conditions, L1/L2 signaling increases control signaling and CLI management overhead at the base station. Accordingly, some aspects described herein relate to an adaptive L3 CLI measurement and reporting framework, where L3 messages may include one or more adaptive fields to support flexibility in configuring CLI measurement and/or CLI reporting parameters.

  • Patent number: 11881905
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for channel and interference measurement. A method for operating user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a channel measurement resource (CMR) and N interference measurement resources (IMRs) and configuration information for a channel state information (CSI) reporting. The CSI reporting configuration information indicates a selection of a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The method further includes receiving reference signals associated with the CMR and the N IMRs, measuring the reference signals for calculating the CSI reporting, and transmitting the CSI reporting. The CSI reporting includes M SINRs each associated with an interference hypothesis. N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The CMR is a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a non-zero power channel state information reference signal (NZP CSI-RS). The N IMRs are NZP CSI-RSs.

  • Patent number: 11876714
    Abstract: A method for congestion control in a data communication protocol employing acknowledged communication may include measuring a flight size. A transmission rate may be measured. A trend of the flight size may be determined. A trend of the transmission rate may be determined, and the trend may be derived from a transmission rate gradient calculation, in which either the transmission rate measurements or the transmission rate gradient calculations or both may be filtered to reduce their temporal variability. Whether there is a congestion may be detected according to the determined trend of the transmission rate and the trend of the flight size. Upon detection of the congestion, a change may be made from a current congestion control state to a new congestion control state. Data may be transmitted while respecting a maximum amount of unacknowledged data which the transmitting node may transmit. An apparatus is also disclosed.
