Abstract
Various solutions for reducing cross-link interference (CLI) in sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) communication systems are described. An apparatus may receive a configuration from a network node of a wireless network. The configuration indicates one or more SBFD slots subsequent to a DL-only slot. The apparatus may determine that UL transmissions are scheduled in a first SBFD slot of the one or more SBFD slots. Then, the apparatus may mute the UL transmissions in one or more initial symbols of the first SBFD slot following a DL-only.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of an apparatus, a configuration from a network node of a wireless network, wherein the configuration indicates one or more sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) slots subsequent to a downlink (DL) slot;
- determining, by the processor, that uplink (UL) transmissions are scheduled in a first SBFD slot of the one or more SBFD slots;
- and
- muting, by the processor, the UL transmissions in one or more initial symbols of the first SBFD slot.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver which, during operation, wirelessly communicates with a network node of a wireless network;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver such that, during operation, the processor performs operations comprising:
- receiving, via the transceiver, a configuration from the network node, wherein the configuration indicates one or more sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) slots subsequent to a downlink (DL) slot;
- determining that uplink (UL) transmissions are scheduled in a first SBFD slot of the one or more SBFD slots;
- and
- muting the UL transmissions in one or more initial symbols of the first SBFD slot.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a processor of a network node, a configuration to an apparatus, wherein the configuration indicates one or more sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) slots subsequent to a downlink (DL) slot;
- determining, by the processor, that uplink (UL) transmissions are scheduled in a first SBFD slot of the one or more SBFD slots;
- and
- muting, by the processor, DL transmissions in one or more last symbols of the DL slot.
