Original Abstract Submitted

user equipment may transmit and receive wireless signals to and from various communication networks. furthermore, user equipment may indicate usage capabilities to the various wireless communication networks to enable the user equipment to transmit and/or receive wireless signals to and from at least two different communication networks. in particular, the user equipment may indicate usage capabilities of supporting both frequency range 2 (fr2) wireless signals of a fifth generation (5g) network and 7-24 gigahertz (ghz) wireless signals of a sixth generation (6g) network in an intermediate frequency range of the user equipment. the communication network(s) may then configure and/or schedule the user equipment based on the usage capabilities to enable the user equipment to simultaneously or non-simultaneously communicate using both the fr2 wireless signals and the 7-24 ghz wireless signals while preventing interference in the intermediate frequency range of the user equipment.
