Abstract

In a wireless network, a base station may configure a victim user equipment (UE) experiencing interference with a periodic measurement resource using Layer 3 (L3) signaling, and the UE may report cross-link interference (CLI) measurements to the base station using L3 messages. However, using L3 signaling to configure interference measurement and reporting may result in an inflexible interference measurement configuration and a long latency to report CLI and/or self-interference feedback. Furthermore, although Layer 1 and/or Layer 2 (L1/L2) CLI reporting may be more suitable to track and adapt to dynamic changes in interference conditions, L1/L2 signaling increases control signaling and CLI management overhead at the base station. Accordingly, some aspects described herein relate to an adaptive L3 CLI measurement and reporting framework, where L3 messages may include one or more adaptive fields to support flexibility in configuring CLI measurement and/or CLI reporting parameters.

Claims (76)

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

receiving one or more Layer 3 (L3) messages that configure periodic cross-link interference (CLI) measurement resources,

wherein the one or more L3 messages include one or more adaptive CLI fields, and

wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate one or more of:

whether the periodic CLI measurement resources support measuring self-interference associated with a full-duplex communication mode,

a number of filtering processes to apply to one or more CLI measurements, or

whether to include one or more self-interference measurements in a CLI report;

obtaining the one or more CLI measurements based at least in part on the one or more adaptive CLI fields; and

transmitting the CLI report, wherein the CLI report includes the one or more CLI measurements.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate one or more receive beams to use to obtain the one or more CLI measurements.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate one or more sub-bands included in the periodic CLI measurement resources.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate whether the periodic CLI measurement resources support measuring the self-interference associated with the full-duplex communication mode.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate the number of filtering processes to apply to the one or more CLI measurement.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields include at least one field that configures multiple options for a CLI measurement parameter, and

wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a downlink Layer 2 message to select one of the multiple options configured in the at least one field for the CLI measurement parameter.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a downlink Layer 2 message to activate or deactivate a CLI measurement parameter indicated in the one or more adaptive CLI fields.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields include one or more adaptive CLI reporting fields associated with the CLI report.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI reporting fields indicate whether to report the one or more CLI measurements per receive beam or as an average over all receive beams.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI reporting fields indicate whether to include the one or more self-interference measurements in the CLI report.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI reporting fields indicate one or more events to trigger transmission of the CLI report.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting information that indicates a capability related to a maximum number of CLI measurement resource configurations supported by the UE; and

receiving a Layer 2 message that activates a subset of CLI measurement resources configured for the UE based at least in part on the capability related to the maximum number of CLI measurement resource configurations supported by the UE.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the information that indicates the capability indicates the maximum number of CLI measurement resource configurations supported by the UE.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the information that indicates the capability indicates a maximum number of active CLI measurement resources supported by the UE.

15. A method of wireless communication performed by network entity, comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), one or more Layer 3 (L3) messages that configure periodic cross-link interference (CLI) measurement resources,

wherein the one or more L3 messages include one or more adaptive CLI fields, and

wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate one or more of:

whether the periodic CLI measurement resources support measuring self-interference associated with a full-duplex communication mode,

a number of filtering processes to apply to one or more CLI measurements, or

whether to include one or more self-interference measurements in a CLI report; and

receiving, from the UE, one or more L3 messages carrying the CLI report, wherein the CLI report includes the one or more CLI measurements, and wherein the one or more CLI measurements are based at least in part on the one or more adaptive CLI fields.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate one or more receive beams that the UE is to use to obtain the one or more CLI measurements.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate one or more sub-bands included in the periodic CLI measurement resources.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate whether the periodic CLI measurement resources support measuring the self-interference associated with the full-duplex communication mode.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields indicate the number of filtering processes that the UE is to apply to the one or more CLI measurement.

20. The method of claim 15 ,

wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields include at least one field that configures multiple options for a CLI measurement parameter, and

wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting, to the UE, a downlink Layer 2 message to select one of the multiple options configured in the at least one field for the CLI measurement parameter.

21. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a downlink Layer 2 message to activate or deactivate a CLI measurement parameter indicated in the one or more adaptive CLI fields.

22. The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI fields include one or more adaptive CLI reporting fields associated with the CLI report.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI reporting fields indicate whether to report the one or more CLI measurements per receive beam or as an average over all receive beams.

24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the one or more adaptive CLI reporting fields indicate whether the UE is to include the one or more self-interference measurements in the CLI report.
