  • Publication number: 20230246775
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A configuration for a reference signal used to determine a non-linear behavior of transmission components at a transmitting device may be determined. The configuration for the reference signal may be determined based on signaling transmitted by the transmitting device, signaling transmitted by a device that receives the reference signal, or both. Additionally, or alternatively, the configuration for the reference signal may be determined based on a configuration of other signals transmitted by the transmitting device prior to or concurrently with the transmission of the reference signal. The determined configuration may be used to generate and transmit the reference signal or to determine a configuration of a received reference signal. In both cases, a non-linear response of transmission components at the transmitting device may be determined based on the reference signal.

  • Publication number: 20230247465
    Abstract: A victim user equipment (UE) may experience cross-link interference (CLI) from a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission from an aggressor UE or self-interference (SI) from a PUSCH transmission from a transmitter of the victim UE. The present disclosure provides for configuration of measurement resources and a CLI report for mitigation of CLI. A base station may transmit a configuration of the measurement resources including channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resources and a configuration of a CLI report. The CSI-IM resources match PUSCH symbols or demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbols of an aggressor UE. The victim UE measures a CLI or a SI on the CSI-IM resources. The victim UE reports the CLI or the SI to the base station according to the configuration of the CLI report. The base station may schedule transmissions to mitigate the CLI or the SI.

  • Patent number: 11696313
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for identifying, from a resource pool allocated for sidelink communications between UEs, a first number of resources for transmissions from the first UE to a second UE based on a set of one or more parameters shared between the first UE and the second UE and identifying, from the resource pool, a second number of resources for transmissions from the second UE to the first UE based on the shared set of one or more parameters. The first UE may communicate with the second UE using the first and the second number of resources and avoid using the remaining available resources for power saving. For example, the first UE and the second UE may avoid sidelink communications on time slots on which no subchannels belong to either the first subset or second number of the resources.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a first node (e.g., a UE or a BS) performs a channel response measurement on a reference signal for positioning (e.g., UL reference signal such as SRS for positioning, or a DL PRS). The first node determines, for each of a plurality of peaks detected within the channel response measurement, peak-specific information comprising at least peak magnitude data that is based on a peak magnitude relative to a reference value. The first node reports the peak-specific information for the plurality of peaks to a second node (e.g., a BS, UE, or LMF). The second node receives the peak-specific information, and determines a positioning estimate for a UE based on the peak-specific information.
