Abstract

In an embodiment, a base station (BS) receives one or more first data transmitting from at least one of one or more transmitting user equipments (UEs). The BS transmits a message including assistance parameters for performing a full-duplex data transmission, to at least one of one or more receiving UEs, wherein the parameters are associated with information of reducing an interference from the at least one of the transmitting UEs. And, the BS transmits one or more second data including the one or more first data to the at least one of the receiving UEs. Wherein, the receiving UEs and the transmitting UEs respectively include at least one of: one or more half-duplex UEs, one or more full-duplex UEs, or any combination of two or more of the half-duplex UEs and the full-duplex UEs.
