Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, such as a user equipment (UE) may receive an allocation of a set of sensing resources and a set of cross-link interference measurement resources. The UE may identify a sensing resource of the set of sensing resources on which a sensing signal is received, and determine one or more of the set of cross-link interference measurement resources that overlap with the sensing resource. The UE may thereby measure the one or more cross-link interference measurement resources for cross-link interference based on the one or more cross-link interference measurement resources overlapping with the sensing resource.
