Time-interleaving of code block groups in full-duplex mode

A scheduling entity configured to communication in a wireless communication network, the scheduling entity, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the scheduling entity is configured to:
• schedule a downlink transmission to a scheduled entity of a transport block comprising a plurality of code block groups (CBGs);
• time-interleave the plurality of CBGs of the transport block generated using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) over a plurality of symbols allocated for the downlink transmission based on at least a first set of CBGs of the plurality of CBGs at least partially overlapping in time with an uplink transmission from the scheduled entity during full-duplex mode operations;
• and
• transmit the downlink transmission comprising the plurality of CBGs of the transport block to the scheduled entity via the transceiver.

A scheduled entity configured for communication in a wireless communication network, the scheduled entity comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the scheduled entity is configured to:
• receive scheduling information for a downlink transmission of a transport block comprising a plurality of code block groups (CBGs) from a scheduling entity via the transceiver, wherein the scheduling information indicates a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) associated with the transport block;
• and
• receive the downlink transmission comprising the plurality of CBGs of the transport block from the scheduling entity via the transceiver, wherein the plurality of CBGs are time-interleaved over a plurality of symbols allocated for the downlink transmission based on at least a first set of CBGs of the plurality of CBGs at least partially overlapping in time with an uplink transmission from the scheduled entity during full-duplex mode operations.
