Communication configurations using assisting information for changing conditions in wireless networks
Aspects for predicting communication configurations for a wireless node are provided. Assisting information is measured or assessed at a first wireless node. The assisting information may include clutter and blocker measurements, self-interference measurements, and various beam, frequency, and modulation-related measurements. A control node may determine a communication configuration based on the assisting information. The communication configuration may be predicted for use at a subsequent time period. The first wireless node may receive and approve the configuration. The first wireless node may use the communication configuration in a subsequent communication with a second wireless node. The communication configuration may include, for example, whether the first wireless node will communicate using a full-duplex or half-duplex configuration and the TX/RX beam configuration for the node.

16. The control node of claim 9 , wherein the communication configuration comprises a duplex mode for the communication of at least one of the first wireless node or a second wireless node.
17. A first wireless node, comprising:
means for receiving assisting information from a second wireless node over a wireless channel having certain channel conditions; and
means for determining a communication configuration to accommodate future communications with the second wireless node over the wireless channel when the certain channel conditions have changed, wherein the communication configuration is determined for use at a subsequent time period based on the assisting information.
18. The first wireless node of claim 17 , further comprising means for requesting a change of duplex mode or transmitter and receiver (TX/RX) beam configuration to be used in future slots when communicating with the second wireless node using the communication configuration.
