Abstract
Techniques pertaining to subband full duplex (SBFD) user equipment (UE) reporting hard constraints on full-duplex scheduling to network nodes are described. Such techniques include establishing full-duplex communication between a UE and a network node such that the UE is able to transmit data to the network node and receive data from the network node simultaneously in time. The techniques further include reporting by the UE to the network node one or more hard constraints on a full-duplex scheduling of communication resources that is performed by the network node for the UE during the full-duplex communication.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- establishing, at least via a user equipment (UE) full-duplex communication between the UE and a network node such that the UE is able to transmit data to the network node and receive data from the network node simultaneously in time;
- and
- reporting by the UE to the network node one or more hard constraints on a full-duplex scheduling of communication resources that is performed by the network node for the UE during the full-duplex communication,
- wherein the reporting includes reporting one or more minimum self-interference guardband configuration options for separating an uplink bandwidth allocation of a carrier for data transmission by the UE from a downlink bandwidth allocation of the carrier for data reception by the UE, and
- wherein parameters of each minimum self-interference guardband configuration options include a size of a minimum self-interference guardband.
An apparatus implementable in a network as a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with one or more network nodes of the network;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations comprising:
- establishing full-duplex communication between the UE and the network node such that the UE is able to transmit data to the network node and receive data from the network node simultaneously in time;
- and
- reporting to the network node one or more hard constraints on a full-duplex scheduling of communication resources that is performed by the network node for the UE during the full-duplex communication,
- wherein the reporting includes reporting one or more minimum self-interference guardband configuration options for separating an uplink bandwidth allocation of a carrier for data transmission by the UE from a downlink bandwidth allocation of the carrier for data reception by the UE, and
- wherein parameters of each minimum self-interference guardband configuration options include a size of a minimum self-interference guardband and a starting position of the minimum self-interference guardband.
