Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for identifying an aggressor device or an aggressor beam of an aggressor device. The embodiments further mitigate the impact of the identified aggressor device or the identified aggressor beam of the aggressor device.

Claims (46)

1. A method of mitigating an aggressor device, comprising:

identifying the aggressor device based at least in part on an original crosslink interference (CLI) measurement report from a victim device;

transmitting a CLI Reference Signal (CLI-RS) refinement request message to the aggressor device, wherein the CLI-RS refinement request message comprises an identifier for the aggressor device;

receiving a CLI-RS refinement response message from the aggressor device, wherein the CLI-RS refinement response message comprises an indication that the CLI-RS refinement request message was accepted by the aggressor device; and

transmitting an updated CLI measurement configuration to the victim device based at least in part on the CLI-RS refinement response message.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting an original CLI measurement configuration to the victim device; and

receiving the original CLI measurement report from the victim device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an updated CLI measurement report from the victim device; and

identifying an aggressor beam of the aggressor device based at least in part on the updated CLI measurement report.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CLI-RS refinement response message comprises a CLI-RS transmission configuration for the aggressor device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aggressor device is a user equipment (UE) or a Next Generation NodeB (gNB).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the victim device is a user equipment (UE) or a Next Generation NodeB (gNB).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CLI-RS refinement request message comprises a transmission information type for the aggressor device.

8. A base station, comprising:

radio front end circuitry; and

processing circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry and configured to:

identify an aggressor device based at least in part on an original crosslink interference (CLI) measurement report from a victim device;

transmit, via the radio front end circuitry, a CLI Reference Signal (CLI-RS) refinement request message to the aggressor device, wherein the CLI-RS refinement request message comprises an identifier for the aggressor device;

receive, via the radio front end circuitry, a CLI-RS refinement response message from the aggressor device, wherein the CLI-RS refinement response message comprises an indication that the CLI-RS refinement request message was accepted by the aggressor device; and

transmit, via the radio front end circuitry, an updated CLI measurement configuration to the victim device based at least in part on the CLI-RS refinement response message.

9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

transmit, via the radio front end circuitry, an original CLI measurement configuration to the victim device; and

receive, via the radio front end circuitry, the original CLI measurement report from the victim device.

10. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

receive, via the radio front end circuitry, an updated CLI measurement report from the victim device; and

identify an aggressor beam associated with the aggressor device based at least in part on the updated CLI measurement report.

11. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the CLI-RS refinement response message comprises a CLI-RS transmission configuration for the aggressor device.

12. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the aggressor device is a user equipment (UE) or a Next Generation NodeB (gNB).

13. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the victim device is a user equipment (UE) or a Next Generation NodeB (gNB).

14. The base station of claim 8 , wherein the CLI-RS refinement request message comprises a transmission information type for the aggressor device.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

identifying an aggressor device based at least in part on an original crosslink interference (CLI) measurement report from a victim device;

transmitting a CLI Reference Signal (CLI-RS) refinement request message to the aggressor device, wherein the CLI-RS refinement request message comprises an identifier for the aggressor device;

receiving a CLI-RS refinement response message from the aggressor device, wherein the CLI-RS refinement response message comprises an indication that the CLI-RS refinement request message was accepted by the aggressor device; and

transmitting an updated CLI measurement configuration to the victim device based at least in part on the CLI-RS refinement response message.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting an original CLI measurement configuration to the victim device; and

receiving the original CLI measurement report from the victim device.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an updated CLI measurement report from the victim device; and

identifying an aggressor beam of the aggressor device based at least in part on the updated CLI measurement report.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the CLI-RS refinement response message comprises a CLI-RS transmission configuration for the aggressor device.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the aggressor device is a user equipment (UE) or a Next Generation NodeB (gNB), and the victim device is a user equipment (UE) or a Next Generation NodeB (gNB).

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the CLI-RS refinement request message comprises a transmission information type for the aggressor device.
