  • Patent number: 12167253
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for restricting beams that may lead to inter-base station interference. For example, an implicit restriction of beams may be used by a first and second base station (e.g., a victim and aggressor base station, respectively). In such cases, the first base station may indicate a period, a subband, or both, associated with one or more scheduled uplink beams that the first base station may use for receiving uplink transmissions. The second base station may select beams that avoid interference with the uplink beam(s) of the first base station. Additionally or alternatively, an explicit restriction of beams may be signaled, where the first base station may explicitly indicate a set of downlink beams associated with the second base station that are allowed (e.g., beams that avoid interference with uplink transmissions at the first base station).
