  • TECHNIQUES FOR MITIGATING INTER-NETWORK NODE INTERFERENCE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
    Publication number: 20240040388
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to mitigating interference between network nodes operating in full duplex (FD). In some aspects, a victim network node can indicate, to an aggressor network node, a capability to cancel interference from the aggressor network node, receive one or more uplink signals from a device along with one or more downlink signals from the aggressor network node in a same time period, and cancel, based on the capability, the one or more downlink signals received from the aggressor network node from the one or more uplink signals received from the device. In other aspects, the victim network node can indicate certain uplink resources to the aggressor network node, which can avoid transmitting downlink communications over the indicated uplink resources.

  • UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR FRAMEWORK FOR PHYSICAL CHANNELS
    Publication number: 20240040584
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a base station may transmit control information to a user equipment (UE) indicating a pair of joint transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The UE may use one of the TCI states for receiving or transmitting one or more uplink or downlink messages, and another TCI state for receiving or transmitting a repetition of the one or more messages. In some examples, the base station may transmit separate indications of multiple pairs of TCI states. The UE may use one of the pairs of TCI states for uplink repetitions, and may use another pair of TCI states for downlink repetitions. The UE may indicate the joint or separate TCI states via DCI signaling. In some examples, the UE may update or activate TCI state pairs, and may perform beam forming procedures using the TCI state pair or pairs.

  • Full duplex beam failure detection and uplink resources determination for transmitting recovery request
    Patent number: 11889359
    Abstract: When a beam failure is detected, appropriate actions may be taken to recover the connection. A beam failure recovery request may be sent by a user equipment (UE) apparatus to initiate the recovery of the connection. The UE detects a beam failure for at least one active downlink and uplink beam pair for full duplex communication with a secondary cell (SCell). The UE transmits a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) for the SCell to a base station using an uplink resource of the SCell or a primary cell (PCell) based on a layer 1 signal to interference and noise ratio (L1-SINR) measurement for the at least one active downlink and uplink beam pair of the SCell.
