## Abstract

Techniques are described for configuring resources for remote interference mitigation (RIM). An example method includes configuring a first sequence for a reference signal (RS) in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a first type of status information. The method also includes configuring a second sequence for the RS in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a second type of status information, where the RS is transmitted in response to determining an interference and based on the configured first sequence or second sequence.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wireless communication method, comprising:
configuring a first sequence for a reference signal (RS) in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a first type of status information,
wherein the first type of status information indicates that enough interference mitigation operation is performed;
configuring a second sequence for the RS in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a second type of status information,
wherein the second type of status information indicates that not enough interference mitigation operation is performed;
configuring for the RS the following repetition related information:
a number of times the RS is repeatedly transmitted,
wherein the number of times the RS is repeatedly transmitted is equal to a number of downlink-uplink (DL-UL) switching periods; and
transmitting the RS based on the configured first sequence or second sequence and based on the repetition related information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first type of status information indicates no further actions needed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the second type of status information indicates further actions needed.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first sequence or the second sequence are configured by a base station.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the RS is a remote interference mitigation (RIM) RS.

### Claim 6

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor, configured to implement a method, comprising:
configure a first sequence for a reference signal (RS) in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a first type of status information,
wherein the first type of status information indicates that enough interference mitigation operation is performed;
configure a second sequence for the RS in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a second type of status information,
wherein the second type of status information indicates that not enough interference mitigation operation is performed;
configure for the RS the following repetition related information:
a number of times the RS is repeatedly transmitted,
wherein the number of times the RS is repeatedly transmitted is equal to a number of downlink-uplink (DL-UL) switching periods; and
transmit the RS based on the configured first sequence or second sequence and based on the repetition related information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the first type of status information indicates no further actions needed.

The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the second type of status information indicates further actions needed.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the first sequence or the second sequence are configured by a base station.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the RS is a remote interference mitigation (RIM) RS.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method, comprising:
configuring a first sequence for a reference signal (RS) in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a first type of status information,
wherein the first type of status information indicates that enough interference mitigation operation is performed;
configuring a second sequence for the RS in response to determining that the RS includes information indicative of a second type of status information,
wherein the second type of status information indicates that not enough interference mitigation operation is performed;
configuring for the RS the following repetition related information:
a number of times the RS is repeatedly transmitted,
wherein the number of times the RS is repeatedly transmitted is equal to a number of downlink-uplink (DL-UL) switching periods; and
transmitting the RS based on the configured first sequence or second sequence and based on the repetition related information.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable program storage medium of claim 11, wherein the first type of status information indicates no further actions needed.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable program storage medium of claim 11, wherein the second type of status information indicates further actions needed.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable program storage medium of claim 11, wherein the first sequence or the second sequence are configured by a base station.
