US 12,772,293 B2 · Directional collision handling for non-cell-defining synchronization signal block

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. Some aspects generally relate to reducing interference in a user equipment (UE) with respect to non-cell defining synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (NCD-SSB) communications. Some aspects more specifically relate to configuring the UE to mitigate interference caused by collisions between the NCD-SSB and a cell-defining SSB (CD-SSB). Some aspects more specifically relate to configuring the UE to mitigate interference and/or other issues that might occur when at least a portion of the NCD-SSB is received during one or more downlink slots or symbols and one or more uplink slots or symbols.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one memory;
and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory, the at least one processor operable to cause the UE to:
receive a first configuration for operating in a time division duplexing (TDD) band having one or more downlink (DL) slots or DL symbols and one or more uplink (UL) slots or UL symbols;
and
receive a second configuration for reception of a non-cell-defining (NCD) synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB) (NCD-SSB) and directional collision handling associated with the NCD-SSB.

3 more elements

An apparatus of wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

at least one memory;
and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory, the at least one processor operable to cause the network node to:
transmit a first configuration for operating in a time division duplexing (TDD) band having one or more downlink (DL) slots or DL symbols and one or more uplink (UL) slots or UL symbols;
and
transmit a second configuration for directional collision handling for non-cell-defining (NCD) synchronization signal block (SSB) (NCD-SSB).
