SLOT FORMAT DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION FOR CROSS LINK INTERFERENCE MEASUREMENT RESOURCE CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18004387 titled 'SLOT FORMAT DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION FOR CROSS LINK INTERFERENCE MEASUREMENT RESOURCE CONFIGURATION

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. - A base station transmits a slot format indicator (SFI) to a first user equipment (UE) via downlink control information (DCI). - The first UE uses the SFI to determine time-domain resources for measuring cross link interference (CLI) from a second UE. - The SFI serves as an index into a slot format combination table, which can be used for uplink and downlink scheduling or exclusively for CLI measurement. - The first UE determines a set of slot formats from a slot format table based on the SFI index. - The first UE determines the symbols over which it can measure CLI based on the set of slot formats.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may transmit a slot format indicator (SFI) to a first user equipment (UE) via downlink control information (DCI) and the first UE may use the SFI to determine time-domain resources over which the first UE may measure cross link interference (CLI) arising from a transmission from a second UE. The first UE may use the SFI as an index into a slot format combination table, which may also be used for uplink and downlink scheduling or may be exclusively used for determining the time-domain resources for CLI measurement. The first UE may determine a set of slot formats from a slot format table based on a slot format combination corresponding to the SFI index and may determine over which symbols the first UE may measure CLI based on the set of slot formats.
