Downlink muting for inter-user-equipment cross link interference measurements

A network node for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the network node to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information indicating one or more UE-to-UE cross link interference (CLI) measurement resources, within at least one downlink sub-band in one or more sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) symbols, and indicating a resource element (RE)-level or resource block (RB)-level downlink muting pattern associated with the one or more UE-to-UE CLI measurement resources;
• and
• receive, from the UE, a measurement report including results of one or more UE-to-UE CLI measurements associated with the one or more UE-to-UE CLI measurement resources.

A UE for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the UE to:
• receive, from a network node, configuration information indicating one or more UE-to-UE cross link interference (CLI) measurement resources in one or more symbols;
• perform one or more UE-to-UE CLI measurements in the one or more UE-to-UE CLI measurement resources, wherein downlink timing is used for the one or more UE-to-UE CLI measurements, and wherein downlink communications are not muted in one or more other symbols that immediately precede the one or more symbols;
• and
• transmit, to the network node, a measurement report including results of the one or more UE-to-UE CLI measurements.
