Abstract

A configuration for a first wireless device to provide, to a second wireless device, assistance information for a SIM configuration. The apparatus transmits, to a second wireless device, assistance information for a SIM configuration for the first wireless device and including resource information of the first wireless device for a SIM procedure. The apparatus receives, from the second wireless device, the SIM configuration.

Claims (82)

1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

transmit, to a second wireless device, assistance information for determining a self-interference measurement (SIM) configuration, at the second wireless device, for the first wireless device, the assistance information comprising self-interference measured by the first wireless device, the assistance information further comprising resource information for a SIM procedure associated with the first wireless device; and

receive, from the second wireless device, the SIM configuration for the first wireless device.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver coupled to the at least one processor.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

perform a SIM based on the SIM configuration received from the second wireless device.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is a user equipment (UE) and the second wireless device is a base station.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node and the second wireless device is a parent IAB node or a central unit in an IAB network.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the assistance information for the SIM configuration indicates a SIM purpose.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the assistance information indicates that the SIM purpose is one or more of:

an exhaustive search of all beams,

a beam refinement,

a clutter echo measurement, or

a null forming measurement.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the assistance information further indicates the resource information for at least one of a transmission beam sweep, or a reception beam sweep.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the resource information comprises one or more of:

a number of transmission beams,

a number of reception beams,

a repetition indication,

an amount of antenna panels at the first wireless device,

an amount of beam groups at the first wireless device,

a number of beams in an antenna panel at the first wireless device, or

a number of beams in a beam group at the first wireless device.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the assistance information for the SIM configuration indicates beam candidate information.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the beam candidate information includes one or more of:

at least one transmission and reception beam pair candidate,

at least one transmission beam candidate, or

at least one reception beam candidate.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the assistance information for the SIM configuration indicates information that relates to full duplex operation.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the information indicates one or more of:

at least one beam that does not support a full duplex transmission mode,

at least one beam that does not support a transmission direction for full duplex transmissions,

at least one beam that does not support a reception direction for the full duplex transmissions,

information about a transmission or a reception beam of the second wireless device, or

at least one beam that is not suitable for downlink or uplink transmissions in a full duplex mode based on an unreported channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from the second wireless device.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the SIM configuration is based on the assistance information provided to the second wireless device.

15. A method of wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:

transmitting, to a second wireless device, assistance information for determining a self-interference measurement (SIM) configuration, at the second wireless device, for the first wireless device, wherein the assistance information comprises self-interference measured by the first wireless device, the assistance information further including resource information for a SIM procedure associated with the first wireless device; and

receiving, from the second wireless device, the SIM configuration for the first wireless device.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

performing a SIM based on the SIM configuration received from the second wireless device.

17. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

receive, from a second wireless device, assistance information for determining a self-interference measurement (SIM) configuration, at the first wireless device, for the second wireless device, wherein the assistance information comprises self-interference measured by the second wireless device, the assistance information further includes resource information for a SIM procedure associated with the second wireless device; and

configure the second wireless device with the SIM configuration.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising a transceiver coupled to the at least one processor.

19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the SIM configuration is based on the assistance information received from the second wireless device.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the first wireless device is a base station and the second wireless device is a user equipment (UE).

21. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the second wireless device is an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node and the first wireless device is a parent IAB node or a central unit in an IAB network.

22. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the assistance information for the SIM configuration indicates a SIM purpose.

23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the assistance information indicates that the SIM purpose is one or more of:

an exhaustive search,

a beam refinement,

a clutter echo measurement, or

a null forming measurement.

24. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the assistance information further indicates the resource information for at least one of a transmission beam sweep, or a reception beam sweep.

25. The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the resource information comprises one or more of:

a number of transmission beams,

a number of reception beams,

a repetition indication,

an amount of antenna panels at the second wireless device,

an amount of beam groups at the second wireless device,

a number of beams in an antenna panel at the second wireless device, or

a number of beams in a beam group at the second wireless device.

26. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the assistance information for the SIM configuration indicates beam candidate information.

27. The apparatus of claim 26 , wherein the beam candidate information includes one or more of:

at least one transmission and reception beam pair candidate,

at least one transmission beam candidate, or

at least one reception beam candidate.

28. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the assistance information for the SIM configuration indicates information that relates to full duplex operation.
