  • Publication number: 20240146465
    Abstract: A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, a first indication to disable hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for a number of instances of a multicast transport block (TB). The method also includes receiving, from the base station, a second indication identifying a value of the number of instances of the multicast TB. The method further includes receiving, from the base station, one or more instances of the multicast TB. The method still further includes determining, based on the one or more received instances, whether the multicast TB is recoverable. The method further includes selectively transmitting, to the base station, HARQ feedback after all instances of the multicast TB have been transmitted by the base station based on the determination of whether the multicast TB is recoverable.

  • Publication number: 20240147270
    Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) receives a configuration of a channel state information (CSI) report from a base station. The configuration includes an indication of a sounding reference signal (SRS) or uplink demodulation reference signal (DMRS) transmitted from a second UE as an interference measurement resource (IMR). The base station configures the second UE to transmit the SRS or the uplink DMRS on the IMR. The first UE measures the IMR to determine a cross-link interference of the second UE to the first UE. The UE transmits the CSI report. The CSI report includes at least one channel characteristic that takes into account the cross-link interference of the second UE. The CSI report may include information for a plurality of CSI-RS resource indicators (CRIs), each CRI associated with a same channel measurement resource (CMR) and a different IMR corresponding to a different second UE.
