  • Publication number: 20240251271
    Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for a wireless system implementing mechanisms to transmit a measurement report using physical layer (L1) carrying a sounding reference signal (SRS) reference signal received power (SRS-RSRP) measurement to provide an indication of cross link interference (CLI) between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE. The first UE can determine a channel state information (CSI) configuration received from the base station; and configure, based on the CSI configuration, a channel measurement resource (CMR) to include a SRS received from the second UE. The first UE can measure the SRS to obtain a SRS-RSRP measurement, generate a measurement report having the SRS-RSRP measurement, and transmit the measurement report to the base station using L1.

  • Publication number: 20240250422
    Abstract: A circuit path (115) conveys energy from a feed source (120) to an antenna element (110). An intermediate structure (125) is disposed in the circuit path (115) between the feed source (120) and the antenna element (110). The intermediate structure (125) modifies a phase of first wireless signals (191) such as signals emitted in a first direction from the antenna element (110) towards the feed source (120). The intermediate structure (125) may modify a phase of a reflection of the first wireless signals emitted in a second direction toward the antenna, the second direction opposite the first direction. Modifying the phase of the emitted and reflected wireless signal provides an overall stronger output signal from the antenna. For example, the phase modified reflected wireless signal combines with an original transmitted wireless signal from the antenna to produce a strong output signal with across a wide bandwidth.
