Channel metric reporting

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:
• receive a capability indicator identifying an interference pattern monitoring capability;
• transmit, based at least in part on the reception of the capability indicator, a request to monitor for a set of interference patterns;
• and
• receive, as a response to the request, a report regarding the set of interference patterns, wherein the set of interference patterns is identifiable based at least in part on a punctured demodulation reference signal.

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

• transmitting a capability indicator identifying an interference pattern monitoring capability;
• receiving, based at least in part on transmitting the capability indicator, a request to monitor for a set of interference patterns;
• and
• transmitting, as a response to the request, a report regarding the set of interference patterns, wherein the set of interference patterns is identifiable based at least in part on a punctured demodulation reference signal.
