  • Patent number: 11956182
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring multi-beam full-duplex communication that allows a device (e.g., user equipment (UE) or base station) to contemporaneously perform both uplink and downlink communication over the same frequency band. Because of the full duplex communication capability provided by the present disclosure, the NR system may achieve reduced latency and improved spectrum and resource efficiency, thereby accommodating a growing demands for the wireless communication. The full duplex communication capability may be achieved by implementing downlink control information (DCI) format that specifies to the UE the beam assignments for contemporaneous transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx).

  • Publication number: 20240114500
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network entity may implement a subband full duplex communication scheme. For a half duplex UE, each slot may be configured as either a downlink slot or an uplink slot. A half duplex UE may be scheduled with a transmission in a conflicting (e.g., opposite) direction with respect to the configured slot direction for the UE. The UE may determine whether to communicate a scheduled transmission in a conflicting direction of the configured slot direction in accordance with a conflict resolution scheme. A UE may receive scheduling information for a second transmission that is scheduled for the same direction as the slot in addition to the transmission scheduled for the opposite direction as the slot. The UE may apply the conflict resolution scheme to determine which transmission to communicate.
