Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The methods, systems, and devices may enable a base station to transmit a measurement configuration for measuring interference (e.g., cross link interference (CLI)). The measurement configuration may include a measurement direction configuration for measuring the interference. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may select a measurement direction configuration for measuring interference based on the measurement configuration. The UE may measure interference based on the measurement configuration. The UE may transmit a measurement report to the base station. The measurement report may include an indication of the selected measurement direction configuration.

Claims (53)

1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving a measurement configuration for measuring cross link interference, wherein the measurement configuration indicates a first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference;

selecting between the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference and a second measurement direction configuration for receiving a downlink message based at least in part on a priority rule; and

transmitting a measurement report based at least in part on measuring the cross link interference in accordance with the measurement configuration and the priority rule.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a time period scheduled for measuring the cross link interference and scheduled for receiving the downlink message.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the priority rule prioritizes the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference over the second measurement direction configuration for measuring the downlink message.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the priority rule prioritizes the second measurement direction configuration for measuring the downlink message over the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

measuring the cross link interference and receiving the downlink message during the time period based at least in part on the priority rule.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

identifying a direction misalignment between the second measurement direction configuration for measuring the downlink message and the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference; and

refraining from measuring the cross link interference during the time period based at least in part on identifying the direction misalignment.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a measurement trigger signal, wherein measuring the cross link interference, transmitting the measurement report, or both, are based at least in part on the measurement trigger signal.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference indicates a transmission configuration indication indicating a receive beam direction for measuring the cross link interference, a quasi-colocation (QCL) configuration, or both.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration for measuring the cross link interference comprises radio resource control signaling, a medium access control-control element, or downlink control information.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration for measuring the cross link interference further comprises an updated measurement direction configuration associated with a plurality of cross link interference resource identifiers.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein measuring the cross link interference comprises:

measuring a sounding reference signal reference signal received power or a cross link interference received signal strength indicator.

12. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving a measurement configuration for measuring cross link interference;

selecting between a first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference and a second measurement direction configuration for receiving a downlink message based at least in part on a priority rule; and

transmitting a measurement report based at least in part on measuring the cross link interference in accordance with the measurement configuration and the priority rule, wherein the measurement report indicates the selected measurement direction configuration.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

aligning the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference and the second measurement direction configuration for receiving the downlink message.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

identifying an updated measurement direction configuration based at least in part on a channel condition change, wherein the first measurement direction configuration selected for measuring the cross link interference is based at least in part on the updated measurement direction configuration.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

receiving a measurement trigger signal, wherein measuring the cross link interference, transmitting the measurement report, or both, are based at least in part on the measurement trigger signal.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first measurement direction configuration selected for measuring the cross link interference indicates a transmission configuration indication indicating a receive beam direction for measuring the cross link interference, a quasi-colocation (QCL) configuration, or both.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the measurement configuration for measuring the cross link interference comprises radio resource control signaling, a medium access control-control element, or downlink control information.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein measuring the cross link interference comprises:

measuring a sounding reference signal reference signal received power or a cross link interference received signal strength indicator.

19. A method for wireless communications at a network device, comprising:

transmitting a measurement configuration to a user equipment (UE) for measuring cross link interference, wherein the measurement configuration indicates a first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference; and

receiving a measurement report indicating a measurement of the cross link interference based at least in part on the measurement configuration and a priority rule corresponding to a selection between the first measurement direction configuration for measurement the cross link interference and a second measurement direction configuration for transmitting a downlink message.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

transmitting an indication of the second measurement direction configuration for receiving the downlink message; and

transmitting an indication of the priority rule for selecting between the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference and the second measurement direction configuration for receiving the downlink message.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the priority rule prioritizes the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference over the second measurement direction configuration for measuring the downlink message.

22. The method of claim 20 , wherein the priority rule prioritizes the second measurement direction configuration for measuring the downlink message over the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference.

23. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

transmitting a measurement trigger signal, wherein receiving the measurement report is based at least in part on the measurement trigger signal.

24. The method of claim 19 , wherein the first measurement direction configuration for measuring the cross link interference indicates a transmission configuration indication indicating a receive beam direction for measuring the cross link interference, a quasi-colocation (QCL) configuration, or both.

25. The method of claim 19 , wherein the measurement configuration for measuring the cross link interference comprises radio resource control signaling, a medium access control-control element, or downlink control information.
