Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit an indication of a number of resource signals that the UE is capable of receiving via multiple component carriers during a time period, the number of resource signals based at least in part on a reference slot of a reference component carrier of the multiple component carriers. The UE may receive a configuration for measuring resource signals based at least in part on transmission of the indication. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (71)

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

transmitting an indication of a number of resource signals that the UE is capable of receiving via multiple component carriers during a time period, the number of resource signals based at least in part on a reference slot of a reference component carrier of the multiple component carriers; and

receiving a configuration for measuring resource signals based at least in part on transmission of the indication.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a numerology of the reference component carrier is different from a numerology of a non-reference component carrier of the multiple component carriers.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference component carrier is configured with a shortest slot duration of the multiple component carriers.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference slot is associated with one or more of:

a synchronization signal block resource,

a channel state information reference signal resource, or

an interference measurement resource.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on a maximum number of resource signals that the UE is capable of receiving via the multiple component carriers during the reference slot.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of resource signals includes resource signals having a starting symbol within the reference slot.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of resource signals includes resource signals having a last symbol within the reference slot.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of resource signals includes resource signals having at least one symbol within the reference slot.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on time durations of the resource signals.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on usage of the resource signals.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on one or more of:

incrementing a count of the resource signals based at least in part on usage of a resource signal for beam failure detection or for radio link management;

incrementing the count of the resource signals based at least in part on usage of the resource signal for new beam identification, for pathloss measurement, or for layer 1 reference signal received power measurement; or

incrementing the count of the resource signals based at least in part on each usage of the resource signal for layer 1 signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio measurement.

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

a memory; and

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

transmit an indication of a number of resource signals that the UE is capable of receiving via multiple component carriers during a time period, the number of resource signals based at least in part on a reference slot of a reference component carrier of the multiple component carriers; and

receive a configuration for measuring resource signals based at least in part on transmission of the indication.

13 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein a numerology of the reference component carrier is different from a numerology of a non-reference component carrier of the multiple component carriers.

14 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the reference component carrier is configured with a shortest slot duration of the multiple component carriers.

15 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the reference slot is associated with one or more of:

a synchronization signal block resource,

a channel state information reference signal resource, or

an interference measurement resource.

16 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on a maximum number of resource signals that the UE is capable of receiving via the multiple component carriers during the reference slot.

17 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the number of resource signals includes resource signals having a starting symbol within the reference slot.

18 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the number of resource signals includes resource signals having a last symbol within the reference slot.

19 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the number of resource signals includes resource signals having at least one symbol within the reference slot.

20 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on time durations of the resource signals.

21 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on usage of the resource signals.

22 . The UE of claim 21 , wherein the number of resource signals is based at least in part on one or more of:

incrementing a count of the resource signals based at least in part on usage of a resource signal for beam failure detection or for radio link management;

incrementing the count of the resource signals based at least in part on usage of the resource signal for new beam identification, for pathloss measurement, or for layer 1 reference signal received power measurement; or

incrementing the count of the resource signals based at least in part on each usage of the resource signal for layer 1 signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio measurement.

23 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

transmit an indication of a number of resource signals that the UE is capable of receiving via multiple component carriers during a time period, the number of resource signals based at least in part on a reference slot of a reference component carrier of the multiple component carriers; and

receive a configuration for measuring resource signals based at least in part on transmission of the indication.
