Scheduling over multiplexed resources under half-duplex constraint

A method for wireless communication in a network, comprising:

• identifying, at a second node in the network, a first temporal pattern of communication states for communication by a first node in the network on a first set of resources, the first node being configured for half-duplex communications;
• identifying, at the second node in a network, a second temporal pattern of communication states for communicating on the first set of resources, the second node being configured for half-duplex communications;
• determining, based on the first and second temporal patterns of communication states, a schedule for communicating with the first node on a second set of resources that are multiplexed with the first set of resources in a frequency domain, a spatial domain, or a combination thereof;
• and
• transmitting, to the first node, a grant of resources for communications via the second set of resources in accordance with the schedule.

An apparatus for wireless communication in a network, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, by a first node in the network and to a second node in the network, an indication of a first temporal pattern of communication states for communication by the first node on a first set of resources, the first node being configured for half-duplex communications;
• and
• receive, from the second node, a grant of resources for performing communications on a second set of resources that are multiplexed with the first set of resources in a frequency domain, a spatial domain, or a combination thereof.
