Self interference and cross link interference management of bidirectional smart repeaters

An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive, from a control node, a measurement configuration to measure interference, the measurement configuration comprising a first measurement occasion and a second measurement occasion;
• measure interference at the first wireless device based on the measurement configuration, wherein the first wireless device communicates with a second wireless device via a relay node that relays transmissions between the first wireless device and the second wireless device;
• measure the interference at the first wireless device, based on the second measurement occasion, while the relay node is deactivated, wherein the interference while the relay node is deactivated comprises an interference signal directly received by the first wireless device;
• and
• report the interference at the first wireless device to the control node.

A method of wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:

• receiving, from a control node, a measurement configuration to measure interference, the measurement configuration comprising a first measurement occasion and a second measurement occasion;
• measuring interference at the first wireless device based on the measurement configuration, wherein the first wireless device communicates with a second wireless device via a relay node that relays transmissions between the first wireless device and the second wireless device;
• measuring the interference at the first wireless device, based on the second measurement occasion, while the relay node is deactivated, wherein the interference while the relay node is deactivated comprises an interference signal directly received by the first wireless device;
• and
• reporting the interference at the first wireless device to the control node.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a control node, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• transmit, to a first wireless device, a measurement configuration to measure interference, the measurement configuration comprising a first measurement occasion and a second measurement occasion;
• transmit, to the first wireless device, an indication to adjust a reception timing to measure the interference based on the first measurement occasion, wherein the indication to adjust the reception timing comprises a timing reference or a window, wherein the indication accounts for a propagation delay of a forwarded interference signal;
• and
• receive, from the first wireless device, a report of measured interference at the first wireless device based on the measurement configuration, wherein part of the measured interference under the first measurement occasion is based at least on transmissions forwarded by a relay node.
