Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may receive information indicating a reference signal resource associated with detecting cross-link interference associated with transmitting a random access channel (RACH) message on full duplex resources. The first UE may transmit a RACH message on a selected RACH occasion, wherein the selected RACH occasion is selected based at least in part on whether a reference signal transmitted by a neighbor UE of the first UE has been detected in association with the selected RACH occasion. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (63)

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

receiving, from a network node, remaining minimum system information indicating:

an association, between a time and frequency resource and a spatial configuration, associated with a reference signal resource associated with detecting cross-link interference associated with transmitting a random access channel (RACH) message on full duplex resources, and

a full-duplex RACH occasion corresponding to the association;

transmitting the RACH message on the full-duplex RACH occasion in a frequency division multiplex (FDM) mode when the first UE does not detect a reference signal, associated with a synchronization signal block or a channel state information reference signal beam, on the reference signal resource that overlaps in time with the full-duplex RACH occasion; and

transmitting the RACH message on a second RACH occasion in the FDM mode, different from the full-duplex RACH occasion, when the first UE detects the reference signal that overlaps in time with the full-duplex RACH occasion.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the full-duplex RACH occasion overlaps with a resource for a downlink communication of a neighbor UE to the network node.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting the full-duplex RACH occasion based at least in part on the first UE having received no reference signal associated with the synchronization signal block.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the reference signal,

wherein the RACH message is transmitted on the full-duplex RACH occasion.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RACH message is associated with initial access.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal resource is for a sounding reference signal.

7. A method of wireless communication performed by a network node, comprising:

transmitting, to a set of first user equipments (UEs) and based at least in part on an initial access procedure to be performed by a second UE of a set of second UEs that are in communication with the network node, configuration information comprising an uplink reference signal configuration indicating:

a sequence of a periodic uplink reference signal,

parameters for transmission of the periodic uplink reference signal, and

a reference signal resource associated with detecting cross-link interference associated with transmitting a random access channel (RACH) message on full duplex resources, wherein the cross-link interference is between the RACH message and downlink communications of the set of first UEs;

transmitting, to the set of second UEs, remaining minimum system information indicating:

an association, between a time and frequence resource and a spatial resource, associated with the reference signal resource, and

a full-duplex RACH occasion corresponding to the association;

receiving, from the second UE and on the reference signal resource, the RACH message on the full-duplex RACH occasion in a frequency division multiplex (FDM) mode when the first UE does not detect a reference signal associated with a synchronization signal block or a channel state information reference signal beam that overlaps in time with the full-duplex RACH occasion; and

receiving the RACH message on a second RACH occasion in the FDM mode, different from the full-duplex RACH occasion, when the first UE detects the reference signal that overlaps in time with the full-duplex RACH occasion.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the downlink communications are associated with a threshold priority level.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the reference signal resource comprises a same set of resources for each of the set of first UEs.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the reference signal resource occurs every predefined number of slots.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein reference signals configured for another UE of the set of first UEs is associated with a same sequence that is the sequence of the periodic uplink reference signal.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

selecting the set of first UEs based at least in part on at least one of:

the downlink communications being associated with a threshold priority level, the set of first UEs being associated with the downlink communications, or location information associated with the set of first UEs.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein a RACH occasion associated with the RACH message overlaps with a downlink communication resource of the set of first UEs in at least one of: frequency, or spatial configuration.

14. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

performing an initial access operation with the second UE based at least in part on the RACH message.

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

receiving, from a network node and based at least in part on the first UE being associated with a downlink communication that has a threshold priority level, configuration information comprising an uplink reference signal configuration indicating:

a sequence of a periodic uplink reference signal,

parameters for transmission of the periodic uplink reference signal, and

a reference signal resource associated with detecting cross-link interference on a downlink communication of the first UE, wherein the cross-link interference is associated with transmission, by a neighbor UE, of a random access channel (RACH) message on full duplex resources;

transmitting a RACH message on a full-duplex RACH occasion in a frequency division multiplex (FDM) mode when the first UE does not detect a reference signal associated with a synchronization signal block or a channel state information reference signal beam that overlaps in time with the full-duplex RACH occasion; and

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