A method of operating a first User Equipment (UE) in a cellular communication system, wherein the method comprises:
- performing at least one measurement related to an uplink signal transmitted by a second UE to obtain measurement information representing UE-to-UE interference between the first UE and the second UE;
- and
- sending a report including the measurement information representing the UE-to-UE interference to a network node of the cellular communication system to enable interference-aware configuration of at least one transmission and/or interference suppression in the cellular communication system.
A method of operating a network device in connection with a cellular communication system, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving a report including measurement information representing User Equipment (UE)-to-UE interference between a first UE and a second UE, to enable interference-aware configuration of at least one transmission and/or interference suppression in the cellular communication system, wherein the measurement information is related to at least one measurement performed by the first UE of an uplink signal transmitted by the second UE.
A first User Equipment (UE) configured for operation in a cellular communication system, comprising:
- communication circuitry configured for communication with a network node of the cellular communication system;
- and
- processing circuitry operatively associated with the communication circuitry and configured to:
- perform at least one measurement related to an uplink signal transmitted by a second UE to obtain measurement information representing UE-to-UE interference between the first UE and the second UE;
- and
- send a report including the measurement information representing the UE-to-UE interference to the network node to enable interference-aware configuration of at least one transmission and/or interference suppression in the cellular communication system.
A network device configured for operation in connection with a cellular communication system, wherein the network device comprises:
- communication circuitry configured for direct or indirect communication with a first User Equipment (UE) or a radio network node in the cellular communication system;
- and
- processing circuitry operatively associated with the communication circuitry and configured to:
- receive a report including measurement information representing UE-to-UE interference between a first UE and a second UE, to enable interference-aware configuration of at least one transmission and/or interference suppression in the cellular communication system, wherein the measurement information is related to at least one measurement performed by the first UE of an uplink signal transmitted by the second UE.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for enabling, operation of a first User Equipment (UE) in a cellular communication system, wherein the computer program comprises instructions, which when executed by at least one processor of the first UE, cause the at least one processor to:
- initiate at least one measurement related to an uplink signal transmitted by a second UE to obtain measurement information representing UE-to-UE interference between the first UE and the second UE;
- and
- generate a report including the measurement information representing the UE-to-UE interference for transmission to a network node of the cellular communication system to enable interference-aware configuration of at least one transmission and/or interference suppression in the cellular communication system.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for enabling operation of a network device in connection with a cellular communication system, wherein the computer program comprises instructions, which when executed by at least one processor of the network device, cause the at least one processor to receive a report including measurement information representing User Equipment (UE)-to-UE interference between a first UE and a second UE, to enable interference-aware configuration of at least one transmission and/or interference suppression in the cellular communication system, wherein the measurement information is related to at least one measurement performed by the first UE of an uplink signal transmitted by the second UE.
