Interference aware transceiver design for heterogeneous numerology systems

A method for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

• determining interference information associated with downlink (DL) transmission from a base station (BS) to a second UE, wherein a narrow guard band (GB) or lack of a GB is present to separate a first resource block (RB) used for DL transmission from the BS to the first UE using a first numerology and a second RB used for DL transmission from the BS to the second UE using a second numerology, the interference information indicating DL interference on an RB associated with a higher frequency than the first RB;
• and
• taking one or more actions based, at least in part, on the interference information.

A method for wireless communication by a base station (BS), comprising:

• determining presence of a narrow guard band (GB) or lack of a GB to separate a first resource block (RB) used for uplink (UL) transmission from a first user equipment (UE) to the BS using a first numerology and a second RB used for UL transmission from a second UE to the BS using a second numerology;
• and
• in response to the determination, transmitting to the first UE, interference information associated with the UL transmission from the second UE to the BS comprising an indication of UL interference on an RB associated with a higher frequency than the first RB.

A method for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving interference information associated with an uplink (UL) transmission from a second UE to a base station (BS), wherein a narrow guard band (GB) or lack of a GB is present to separate a first resource block (RB) used for UL transmission from the first UE to the BS using a first numerology and a second RB used for UL transmission from the second UE to the BS using a second numerology, the interference information indicating UL interference on an RB associated with a higher frequency than the first RB;
• and
• transmitting uplink data to the BS based, at least in part, on the interference information.
