Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide reception assisted access and interference management for a communication network.
Claims19
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- identify a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) configuration message received from a first cell, the CSI-IM configuration message for configuration with resources for interference measurement;
- perform interference measurement using an intended reception beam for the first cell to measure a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmitted by a second cell on at least some of the resources;
- determine, based on the interference measurement, a physical cell identifier (PCI) associated with an interfering signal that could interfere with reception of a desired signal on a resource using the intended reception beam;
- process a report configuration for configuration with a report quantity information element that includes:
- a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) index and a reference signal received power (RSRP) from channel measurement resource (CMR) and interference measurement resource (IMR) index associated with the second cell;
- a channel state information resource indicator (CRI) and an RSRP from CMR and IMR index associated with the second cell;
- an SSB index and a signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR) from CMR and IMR index associated with the second cell;
- or
- a CRI and an SINR from CMR and IMR index associated with the second cell;
- and
- generate a report with the PCI for transmission to the first cell to identify a source of potential interference.
