Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit control signaling indicating a processing capability of the UE for cross-link interference measurement and reporting. The UE may receive, in response to the control signaling indicating the processing capability, control signaling indicating a configuration of the UE for the cross-link interference measurement and reporting. The UE may transmit, to a network entity, a message indicating a cross-link interference measurement generated by the UE according to the configuration.
