  • Publication number: 20240064549
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support inter-user equipment (UE) cross-link interference (CLI) reduction. For example, a first UE may receive sidelink signaling from one or more other UEs and may generate measurement information associated with inter-UE cross link interference between the first UE and the one or more other UEs based on the sidelink signaling. Further, the first UE may transmit, to a network entity, an inter-UE cross link interference report that includes information indicative of a first set of one or more UEs from among the one or more other UEs, where each UE of the first set of one or more UEs is associated with respective measurement information of the measurement information that satisfies a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240064540
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may receive a control message indicating a set of interference measurement resources (IMRs) for reference signal transmission associated with radio link monitoring or beam failure monitoring. The first UE may receive, from a second UE via the set of IMRs, reference signals associated with radio link monitoring or beam failure monitoring based on the control message. The first UE may transmit, in response to receiving the reference signals, a beam failure report associated with the radio link monitoring or the beam failure monitoring based on one or more measurements of the one or more reference signals. In some examples, the beam failure report may indicate that beam failure is associated with cross-link interference (CLI) from the second UE.

  • Patent number: 11909691
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for reducing the overhead associated with reporting feedback, such as hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration message from a base station indicating that the UE is to request resources for transmitting negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback for a downlink transmission. If the UE fails to receive or decode the downlink transmission, the UE may request resources from the base station on which to transmit the NACK feedback for the downlink transmission. Because the UE may be configured to request resources on which to transmit the NACK feedback, the UE may avoid transmitting HARQ feedback for every downlink transmission from the base station. Thus, the base station may avoid allocating resources for HARQ feedback from the UE for every downlink transmission, and the overhead of reporting HARQ feedback is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11910416
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The DCI may include one or more of an indication of a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states related to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), one or more receive beams associated with the set of TCI states, or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheme. The UE may decode the DCI and may determine a temporal period associated with the indication of the set of TCI states. The UE may receive, based on the temporal period, the PDSCH according to one or more of the set of TCI states, the one or more receive beams associated with the set of TCI states, the PDSCH scheme, or one or more default receive beams.

  • Patent number: 11910371
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may allow a base station and user equipment (UE) to be in agreement on spatial quasi co-location (QCL) assumptions for transmission in certain scenarios. The techniques may be used, for example, to determine QCL assumptions for downlink transmissions sent in an initial control resource set (CORESET) on an initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) where dedicated signaling of such assumptions may be lacking. In some cases, the techniques may involve a UE determining a beam to use for monitoring for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission on the initial CORESET in the initial downlink BWP that lacks dedicated signaling of QCL information and monitoring for the PDCCH on the initial CORESET in the initial BWP using the determined beam. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11909491
    Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration indicating whether a beam switching gap is expected at a first symbol position within a subframe of a physical channel for the UE, the first symbol position having a first cyclic prefix length that is longer than a second cyclic prefix length of a second symbol position within the subframe of the physical channel for the UE. The UE may determine whether a transmission includes a missing symbol for the beam switching gap based on the configuration and the symbol position of a symbol where a beam switch is scheduled.

    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to mitigating interference between user equipment (UE) based on sensing signals from serving network nodes. In some aspects, a signal metric of a downlink transmission from a victim serving network node that serves a victim UE can be measured, and an uplink transmission can be transmitted or refrained from transmitting to a serving network node that serves the aggressor UE based on comparing the signal metric to a threshold related to inter-UE cross link interference. In other aspects, a signal metric of a downlink control information (DCI) from an aggressor network node that schedules uplink transmission for an aggressor UE can be measured and a downlink transmission can be received or refrained from receiving from a serving network node that serves the victim UE based on comparing the signal metric to a threshold related to inter-UE cross link interference.
