Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may receive a first downlink determining, based at least in part on an uplink transmission schedule for a user equipment (UE), one or more communications that are to be transmitted as a cross link interference reference signal (CLI-RS) during a time window. The BS may transmit, to the UE, an instruction to transmit the one or more communications as the CLI-RS during the time window. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (72)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station (BS), comprising:

determining that a remote interference reference signal (RI-RS) is to be transmitted;

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), an instruction to refrain from transmitting a cross link interference reference signal (CLI-RS) during a time window that comprises one or more slots and is determined based at least in part on a slot in which the RI-RS is to be transmitted and a propagation delay associated with the RI-RS;

determining, based at least in part on an uplink transmission schedule for the UE, one or more communications that are to be transmitted as the CLI-RS during another time window; and

transmitting, to the UE, another instruction to transmit the one or more communications as the CLI-RS during the other time window.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the other time window is included in an active uplink bandwidth part (BWP) of a wireless communication link between the BS and the UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the other time window is included in an initial uplink bandwidth part (BWP) of a wireless communication link between the BS and the UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the other time window includes at least a portion of at least one symbol, after a transmission of the one or more communications as the CLI-RS, that are to buffer the transmission of the one or more communications.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the other instruction to transmit the one or more communications as the CLI-RS comprises:

an instruction to transmit the one or more communications as the CLI-RS without a timing advance (TA).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more communications comprise at least one of:

a data communication,

a demodulation reference signal (DMRS),

a sounding reference signal (SRS),

a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or

a repetitive data communication.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the instruction to refrain from transmitting the CLI-RS during the time window comprises:

transmitting, based at least in part on receiving an instruction to transmit the RI-RS, the instruction to refrain from transmitting the CLI-RS during the time window.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the instruction to refrain from transmitting the CLI-RS during the time window comprises:

transmitting, based at least in part on receiving an indication that cross link interference has been detected, the instruction to refrain from transmitting the CLI-RS during the time window.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a quantity of the one or more slots included in the time window is based at least in part on a network configuration for a wireless network in which the BS is included.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time window occupies all of a frequency range, during the one or more slots, of a wireless communication link between the BS and the UE.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time window occupies a subset of frequency subcarriers, during the one or more slots, of a wireless communication link between the BS and the UE.

12. A base station (BS) for wireless communication, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the BS to:

determine that a remote interference reference signal (RI-RS) is to be transmitted;

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an instruction to refrain from transmitting a cross link interference reference signal (CLI-RS) during a time window that comprises one or more slots and is determined based at least in part on a slot in which the RI-RS is to be transmitted and a propagation delay associated with the RI-RS;

determine, based at least in part on an uplink transmission schedule for the UE, one or more communications that are to be transmitted as the CLI-RS during another time window; and

transmit, to the UE, another instruction to transmit the one or more communications as the CLI-RS during the other time window.

13. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the other time window is included in an active uplink bandwidth part (BWP) of a wireless communication link between the BS and the UE.

14. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the other time window is included in an initial uplink bandwidth part (BWP) of a wireless communication link between the BS and the UE.

15. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the other time window includes at least a portion of at least one symbol, after a transmission of the one or more communications as the CLI-RS, that are to buffer the transmission of the one or more communications.

16. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the other instruction to transmit the one or more communications as the CLI-RS comprises:

an instruction to transmit the one or more communications as the CLI-RS without a timing advance (TA).

17. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the one or more communications comprise at least one of:

a data communication,

a demodulation reference signal (DMRS),

a sounding reference signal (SRS),

a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or

a repetitive data communication.

18. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors, to cause the BS to transmit the instruction to refrain from transmitting the CLI-RS during the time window, are configured to cause the BS to:
