Abstract

Systems, devices, and techniques for measuring and reporting cross-link interference (CLI) are described. A described technique includes determining, by a first wireless device, whether to perform a CLI measurement; determining a quantity of activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states associated with a second wireless device; performing the CLI measurement based on the quantity of activated TCI states; and transmitting a CLI report in response to the CLI measurement.

Claims (29)

1. A method comprising:

determining whether to perform a cross-link interference (CLI) measurement;

determining a quantity of activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states associated with a wireless device is one, wherein the wireless device is a user equipment (UE) that is configured to receive data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), or both;

performing the CLI measurement based on the quantity of activated TCI states, wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises measuring a CLI signal based on an assumption that a TCI state for the CLI signal is the same as an activated TCI state for a PDCCH for the wireless device; and

transmitting a CLI report in response to the CLI measurement.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises measuring a CLI signal based on an assumption that a TCI state for the CLI signal is the same as an activated TCI state for a UE-specific PDSCH transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises using a same receive (Rx) beam for a PDSCH reception and the CLI measurement.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP) of a sounding reference signal (SRS), measuring a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a channel, or both.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP) of a sounding reference signal (SRS), and measuring a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a channel.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises using a TCI state for the CLI measurement that is the same as a TCI state used for a previous PDSCH reception.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CLI report provides information associated with a direction in which the CLI signal is measured.

8. An apparatus comprising one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:

determining whether to perform a cross-link interference (CLI) measurement;

determining a quantity of activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states associated with a user equipment (UE) is one, wherein the UE is a user equipment (UE) that is configured to receive data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), or both;

performing the CLI measurement based on the quantity of activated TCI states, wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises measuring a CLI signal based on an assumption that a TCI state for the CLI signal is the same as an activated TCI state for a PDCCH for the UE; and

transmitting a CLI report in response to the CLI measurement.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein based at least on determining that the quantity of activated TCI states is determined to be more than one, performing the CLI measurement comprises measuring a CLI signal based on an assumption that the CLI signal has a TCI state that is being used for a UE-specific PDSCH transmission.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the UE-specific PDSCH transmission is on a same slot or symbol as the CLI signal.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the TCI state that is used for the UE-specific PDSCH transmission is an active TCI state that is indicated by a network via a downlink control information (DCI) command.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the TCI state that is used for the UE-specific PDSCH transmission is an active TCI that is indicated by a network via a downlink control information (DCI) command associated with a previous PDSCH transmission.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein determining the quantity of activated TCI states comprises determining whether the quantity of activated TCI states for a UE-specific PDSCH transmission is greater than one.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises making a measurement based on an assumption that a CLI signal to be measured has a same TCI state with a TCI state being used for a PDCCH for the UE.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises using a TCI state for a CLI signal to be measured that is the same as a TCI state used for a PDCCH reception in the same slot or symbol as the CLI signal.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the TCI state used for the PDCCH reception is indicated via a downlink control information (DCI) command.

17. The apparatus of claim 8 , the operations comprising:

selecting an activated TCI state for performing the CLI measurement; and

indicating the selected activated TCI state in the CLI report.

18. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises measuring a CLI signal based on an assumption that a TCI state for the CLI signal is the same as an activated TCI state for a UE-specific PDSCH transmission.

19. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein performing the CLI measurement comprises using a same receive (Rx) beam for a PDSCH reception and the CLI measurement.
