Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may adjust a transmission parameter, associated with an uplink transmission from the UE, such that a phase for the uplink transmission is continuous across symbols of the uplink transmission. Adjusting the transmission parameter includes at least one of: rate-matching, puncturing, or power scaling one or more of the symbols within the uplink transmission, modifying at least one of a modulation and coding scheme or a power associated with a downlink transmission to the UE, or a combination thereof. The UE may further transmit, to a base station, the uplink transmission based at least in part on adjusting the transmission parameter. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (53)

1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:

adjust a transmission parameter associated with an uplink transmission from the UE, wherein a phase for the uplink transmission is continuous across symbols of the uplink transmission, wherein adjusting the transmission parameter includes at least one of:

rate-matching, puncturing, or power scaling one or more of the symbols within the uplink transmission,

modifying at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a power associated with a downlink transmission to the UE, or

a combination thereof; and

transmit, to a base station, the uplink transmission based at least in part on adjusting the transmission parameter, wherein the uplink transmission includes at least one first symbol associated with a full duplex mode of the UE and at least one second symbol associated with a half duplex mode of the UE.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the uplink transmission includes a message on a physical uplink shared channel, a physical uplink control channel, a random access channel, or a sounding reference signal resource.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted based at least in part on a setting stored in the memory.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted based at least in part on receiving a message from the base station.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the message includes a configuration for rate-matching or puncturing at least one symbol in the uplink transmission.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted by rate-matching or puncturing all symbols within the uplink transmission.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein rate-matching or puncturing is not performed for any symbols within the uplink transmission.

8. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted by rate-matching at least one symbol within symbols scheduled by the base station for the uplink transmission, and wherein rate-matching the at least one symbol comprises not mapping the uplink transmission to the at least one symbol when the at least one symbol overlaps with a reference signal from the base station.

9. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted by power scaling at least one symbol within the uplink transmission.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein power scaling the at least one symbol within the uplink transmission comprises increasing a power associated with the at least one symbol.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein power scaling the at least one symbol within the uplink transmission comprises decreasing a power associated with the at least one symbol.

12. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the uplink transmission is associated with the full duplex mode of the UE.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the UE, when in the full duplex mode, transmits and receives, in a same frequency bandwidth, concurrently.

14. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the UE, when in the full duplex mode, transmits a first set of symbols and receives a second set of symbols, in a same frequency bandwidth, wherein the first set of symbols and the second set of symbols are separated in time by less than a threshold.

15. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the UE, when in the full duplex mode, transmits a first set of symbols in a first frequency bandwidth and, concurrently, receives a second set of symbols in a second frequency bandwidth, wherein the first frequency bandwidth and the second frequency bandwidth are separated in frequency by less than a threshold.

16. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted such that a transmit power associated with the at least one first symbol is equal to a transmit power associated with the at least one second symbol.

17. A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a message that triggers the UE to adjust a transmission parameter associated with an uplink transmission from the UE, wherein a phase of the uplink transmission is continuous across symbols of the uplink transmission, wherein adjusting the transmission parameter includes at least one of:

rate-matching, puncturing, or power scaling one or more of the symbols within the uplink transmission,

modifying at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a power associated with a downlink transmission to the UE, or

a combination thereof; and

receive, from the UE, the uplink transmission based at least in part on transmitting the message, wherein the uplink transmission includes at least one first symbol associated with a full duplex mode of the UE and at least one second symbol associated with a half duplex mode of the UE.

18. The base station of claim 17 , wherein the message includes a configuration for rate-matching or puncturing at least one symbol in the uplink transmission.

19. The base station of claim 17 , wherein all symbols within the uplink transmission are rate-matched or punctured.

20. The base station of claim 17 , wherein no symbols within the uplink transmission are rate-matched or punctured.

21. The base station of claim 17 , wherein at least one symbol within the uplink transmission is power scaled.

22. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

adjusting a transmission parameter associated with an uplink transmission from the UE, wherein a phase for the uplink transmission is continuous across symbols of the uplink transmission, wherein adjusting the transmission parameter includes at least one of:

rate-matching, puncturing, or power scaling one or more of the symbols within the uplink transmission,

modifying at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a power associated with a downlink transmission to the UE, or

a combination thereof; and

transmitting, to a base station, the uplink transmission based at least in part on adjusting the transmission parameter, wherein the uplink transmission includes at least one first symbol associated with a full duplex mode of the UE and at least one second symbol associated with a half duplex mode of the UE.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the uplink transmission includes a message on a physical uplink shared channel, a physical uplink control channel, a random access channel, or a sounding reference signal resource.

24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted based at least in part on a setting stored in a memory of the UE.

25. The method of claim 22 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted based at least in part on receiving a message from the base station.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the message includes a configuration for rate-matching or puncturing at least one symbol in the uplink transmission.

27. The method of claim 22 , wherein the transmission parameter is adjusted by rate-matching or puncturing all symbols within the uplink transmission.
