- SBFD subband non-overlapping full duplex
- TDD dynamic/flexible time division duplex
- Figure 1(a) shows an example of the operation of a base station (also called gNB) and terminals (UE: User Equipment) (e.g., UE#1 and UE#2) in the same cell in an SBFD scenario.
- UE User Equipment
- the base station performs SBFD operation and the terminals perform half-duplex operation.
- Figure 1(b) shows an example of subband allocation in SBFD.
- the vertical axis represents frequency
- the horizontal axis represents time.
- "UL” represents uplink transmission
- "DL” represents downlink transmission.
- resources that are not used in each device e.g., gNB, UE#1, and UE#2 are shown with dotted lines.
- a frequency resource (frequency band) is divided into multiple subbands (also called bands, RB sets, subbands, or sub-BWPs (Bandwidth parts)), and transmission in different directions is supported on a subband-by-subband basis.
- a base station can transmit and receive simultaneously on the uplink and downlink (e.g., SBFD operation), and a terminal can transmit and receive on either the uplink or downlink in a given time resource (e.g., half-duplex operation).
- UE#1 communicates with the base station on the uplink
- UE#2 communicates with the base station on the downlink.
- Figure 2(a) shows an example of the operation of different base stations (e.g., gNB1 and gNB2) and terminals (e.g., UE#1 and UE#2) in a dynamic/flexible TDD scenario.
- the base stations and terminals perform half-duplex operation, and the transmission directions may be different for different base stations.
- Figure 2(b) shows an example of resource allocation in dynamic/flexible TDD.
- UE#1 performs DL reception from gNB1
- UE#2 performs UL transmission to gNB2.
- various interferences may occur. For example, self-interference at the base station or cross-link interference (CLI) between terminals (UE-to-UE) may occur. Self-interference at the base station and CLI between terminals greatly deteriorate reception characteristics, so countermeasures are required.
- One of the countermeasures is, for example, a method of avoiding allocation of terminals with strong interference by scheduling at the base station.
- the base station cannot directly measure the CLI between terminals, a method is expected in which the terminal measures the CLI between terminals and reports it to the base station.
- SRS-RSRP Sounding Reference Signal
- RSRP Reference Signal Received Power
- CLI-RSSI Received Signal Strength Indicator
- SRS-RSRP/CLI-RSSI is a Layer 3 (L3) based measurement and reporting of CLI between terminals, and will be supported in Release 16.
- SRS-RSRP is a measurement of the received power of SRS transmitted by a terminal from other terminals.
- CLI-RSSI is a measurement of the linear average of the total received power on the resources (e.g., also called “measurement resources") that the terminal is configured to measure.
- the measurement resource may also be called, for example, the measurement time resource or the measurement bandwidth (or measurement frequency bandwidth).
- FIG 3 shows an example of Layer 3-based CLI-RSSI.
- the terminal measuring Layer 3-based CLI-RSSI (UE#1 in Figure 3) measures the total received power of the CLI-RSSI resource (or measurement resource) specified by the base station, and reports the CLI-RSSI based on the measured total received power. For example, one terminal (UE#2 in Figure 3) transmits a UL signal, and the other terminal (UE#1 in Figure 3) measures the CLI-RSSI and reports it to the base station (gNB1 in Figure 3).
- Victim UE refers to the UE that receives interference
- Aggressor UE refers to the terminal that causes interference.
- FIG. 4 shows an example of CLI between terminals in an SBFD scenario.
- CLI between terminals can occur when different terminals (e.g., UE#1 and UE#2) communicate with a base station in different directions.
- UE#1 communicates with a gNB in downlink (DL) communication
- UE#2 communicates with a gNB in the same time resource (e.g., symbol or slot).
- CLI from UE#2 to UE#1 can occur between UE#1 and UE#2.
- FIG. 4(a) when DL and UL are assigned to adjacent subbands (e.g., subband#0 and subband#1, or subband#2 and subband#1), the reception characteristics of DL may be degraded due to non-uniform interference leakage from UL (e.g., non-uniform CLI leakage).
- FIG. 4(b) shows an example of non-uniform CLI leakage in subbands where DL and UL are adjacent (e.g., subband#0 and subband#1).
- Non-uniform CLI leakage may be classified into three parts of in-band emission, for example, "general”, “carrier leakage", and "IQ image”. In this way, CLI (CLI leakage) between terminals may be non-uniformly distributed in the frequency domain (hereinafter also referred to as "CLI distribution").
- FIG. 5 shows an example of CLI between terminals in a dynamic/flexible TDD scenario.
- CLI between terminals can occur when different base stations (e.g., gNB1 and gNB2) communicate with terminals (e.g., UE#1 and UE#2) connected to each base station in different directions.
- UE#1 performs downlink (DL) communication with gNB1
- UE#2 performs uplink (UL) communication with gNB2 in the same time resource (e.g., symbol or slot).
- DL downlink
- UL uplink
- CLI from UE#2 to UE#1 can occur between UE#1 and UE#2.
- Figure 5(a) when different directions (DL and UL) are assigned to UE#1 and UE#2 in the same time resource, the reception characteristics of DL can be degraded due to uneven interference leakage from UL.
- Figure 5(b) shows an example of non-uniform CLI leakage in a dynamic/flexible TDD scenario.
- the CLI between terminals depends on the transmission power of the interfering terminal, or the positional relationship between the interfered terminal and the interfering terminal.
- SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI are measurement values of interference between terminals measured by the terminal, and are therefore effective for SBFD scenarios and Dynamic/flexible TDD scenarios.
- the reported CLI measurement value is useful for scheduling in the base station.
- the base station can perform scheduling that does not assign terminals with large reported CLI measurement values (e.g., terminals with large interference) to the same time.
- the base station can perform scheduling that does not assign terminals with small reported CLI measurement values (e.g., terminals with small interference) to the same time.
- Release 16 supports Layer 3-based terminal-to-terminal CLI measurement and reporting, but Layer 1 (L1) or Layer 2 (L2)-based terminal-to-terminal CLI measurement and reporting is also under consideration.
- Layer 1 (L1)-based reporting method is the Channel State Information (CSI) report.
- CSI Channel State Information
- a terminal measures values such as channel quality information (e.g., CQI: Channel Quality Information), transmission rank, and L1-RSRP using at least one of the CSI-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) transmitted from the base station to the terminal, and reports a report including the measured values to the base station.
- CQI Channel Quality Information
- SSB Synchronization Signal Block
- the base station configures the time domain behavior of the report (e.g., reporting periodically, quasi-periodically, or aperiodically), the report configuration that sets the values to be reported, and the resource configuration that includes information on the resources to be measured (e.g., measurement resources) for the terminal that is making the measurements.
- the time domain behavior of the report e.g., reporting periodically, quasi-periodically, or aperiodically
- the report configuration that sets the values to be reported
- the resource configuration that includes information on the resources to be measured (e.g., measurement resources) for the terminal that is making the measurements.
- the terminal quantizes the measurement value and configures (or stores or places) it in the Report field.
- Each report number that identifies multiple reports to be reported is linked to a Report field.
- an Uplink Control Information (UCI) bit string corresponds to multiple report numbers reported by the terminal.
- UCI Uplink Control Information
- Figure 6 shows an example of the configuration of the Report field of L1-RSRP.
- the Report field may include a "resource ID (e.g., Resource (CSI-RS or SSB) ID)” that identifies the resource to be measured, a “quantized measurement value (e.g., quantized RSRP or quantized differential RSRP)” that corresponds to the resource to be measured, and a “Capability Index” that identifies the capability corresponding to the resource to be measured.
- the number of measurements (or resources) reported in each Report field is up to four, and they may be arranged in descending order in the Report field.
- the quantized differential RSRP indicates a quantized value of the difference between the RSRP of each resource and the maximum RSRP. For example, 7 bits may be assigned to the quantized RSRP and 4 bits to the quantized differential RSRP as the quantization bit number of the L1-RSRP measurement value.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an example of measuring and reporting CLI-RSSI according to one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the terminal performs CLI-RSSI measurement and reporting using multiple measurement blocks obtained by dividing a measurement resource in the frequency domain (e.g., a CLI measurement band, also referred to as measurement bandwidth).
- a measurement resource in the frequency domain e.g., a CLI measurement band, also referred to as measurement bandwidth.
- FIG. 7(a) shows an example of existing CLI-RSSI measurement and reporting without using measurement blocks (e.g., CLI reporting and measurement supported in Release 16)
- FIG. 7(b) shows an example of CLI-RSSI measurement and reporting when using measurement blocks according to one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure
- FIG. 7(c) shows an example of non-uniform CLI spillover (or CLI distribution) and its relationship to measurement blocks.
- one CLI-RSSI is measured in the CLI measurement band in the frequency direction (e.g., a subband area) and reported to the base station. Therefore, in the CLI-RSSI measurement and reporting as shown in Figure 7(a), it is difficult to report to the base station, for example, the detailed distribution of non-uniform CLI leakage in the CLI measurement band as shown in Figure 7(c).
- the base station in CLI-RSSI measurement and reporting using multiple measurement blocks, sets multiple measurement blocks in the terminal, which are obtained by dividing the CLI measurement band into multiple blocks in the frequency direction.
- the terminal measures the CLI-RSSI for each measurement block.
- the terminal for example, determines a CLI-RSSI report based on the CLI-RSSI for each measurement block, and reports it to the base station.
- a CLI-RSSI relating to general in-band emission can be reported in one measurement block, and a CLI-RSSI relating to carrier leakage or IQ image can be reported in another measurement block.
- the terminal can report a detailed distribution of non-uniform CLI leakage to the base station.
- the base station can perform scheduling, such as modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or resource allocation (e.g., DL allocation), depending on the distribution of non-uniform CLI leakage.
- MCS modulation and coding scheme

- the transmitting unit 208 performs transmission processing such as D/A conversion, up-conversion, or amplification on the signal input from the encoding/modulation unit 207, and transmits the radio signal obtained by the transmission processing from the antenna to the base station 100.

- the CLI-RSSI report e.g., configures the resource configuration and the report configuration
- the terminal 200 measures the CLI-RSSI based on the configured CLI-RSSI resource configuration (e.g., including information about the measurement block) (S104). For example, the terminal 200 may measure the CLI-RSSI for each measurement block within the CLI-RSSI measurement resource.
- the configured CLI-RSSI resource configuration e.g., including information about the measurement block
- the terminal 200 may measure the CLI-RSSI for each measurement block within the CLI-RSSI measurement resource.
- the terminal 200 generates a CLI-RSSI report field (e.g., a UCI bit string) based on the configured CLI-RSSI report configuration (S105) and transmits the CLI-RSSI report to the base station 100 (S106).
- a CLI-RSSI report field e.g., a UCI bit string
- the base station 100 may perform scheduling for the terminal 200 based on, for example, a CLI-RSSI report transmitted from the terminal 200 (not shown).
- the above describes an example of operation of the base station 100 and the terminal 200.
- CLI-RSSI report e.g., a reporting method or configuration method
- CLI-RSSI report based on CSI report As an example, a CLI-RSSI report based on a CSI report in an SBFD scenario will be described. Note that the following description is also applicable to a dynamic/flexible TDD scenario.
- Figure 13 shows an example of a CLI-RSSI report based on a CSI report.
- FIG. 13(a) shows the status of terminal 200 (e.g., UE#1 and UE#2) and base station 100 (e.g., gNB), and FIG. 13(b) shows an example of resource allocation in SBFD.
- subband#0 and subband#2 are downlink (DL) subbands
- subband#1 is an uplink (UL) subband.
- UE#2 transmits a UL signal in subband#1.
- UE#1 also measures the CLI (e.g., CLI-RSSI) between the terminals.
- CLI e.g., CLI-RSSI
- UE#1 may measure the CLI leakage in the DL subband (subband#0) due to UL transmission of UE#2 in the UL subband (subband#1) by CLI-RSSI.
- UE#1 reports a CLI-RSSI report based on the CLI-RSSI measurement results to the base station.
- UE#1 may report a CLI-RSSI report based on the CLI-RSSI measurement results measured in subband#0 (DL subband) to base station 100 in subband#1 (UL subband).
- the report configuration and resource configuration in the CLI-RSSI report can be reused as is.
- the report configuration is a setting related to the report of the terminal 200 that measures the CLI-RSSI
- the resource configuration is a setting related to the CLI-RSSI resource to be measured (e.g., the symbol or resource block to be measured).
- the report field of the uplink control information (UCI) bit string generation function in the CLI-RSSI report needs to be modified.
- a report field that takes into account uneven CLI leakage distribution can be a useful report for scheduling to the base station 100.
- the Report field may be configured by the CLI-RSSI (measured values) of a prescribed number (e.g., m) of measurement blocks among a plurality (e.g., k) of measurement blocks obtained by dividing the CLI measurement band.
- the Report field may be configured by the CLI-RSSI of the upper (or lower) m measurement blocks.
- Figure 14 shows an example of the Report field configuration for configuration method 1.
- the terminal 200 measures the CLI-RSSI for each of multiple (e.g., k) measurement blocks, quantizes the m CLI-RSSIs arranged in descending (or ascending) order, and configures them in the Report field.
- the Report field may store the CLI-RSSIs (e.g., quantized values) of a specified number m of measurement blocks in descending or ascending order.
- the CLI-RSSI does not have to be sorted in ascending or descending order, and the top (or bottom) m CLI-RSSIs may be sorted in the order of the measurement blocks in the frequency direction and stored in the Report field.
- the top m CLI-RSSI values with the strongest interference and the measurement blocks corresponding to each CLI-RSSI value may be configured in descending order in the Report field.
- the bottom m CLI-RSSI values with weak interference and the measurement blocks corresponding to each CLI-RSSI value may be arranged in ascending order in the Report field.
- the Report field may also include at least the CLI values of the measurement blocks corresponding to the DL/UL subbands or the edges of the DL/UL.
- Quantization may also define, for example, an n1-bit quantization table (n1: the number of bits in the table obtained from the range and step size) and an n2-bit quantization difference table (n2: the number of bits in the table obtained from the range and step size).
- the terminal 200 may convert from the measurement value to the quantization value, for example, using the quantization table and the quantization difference table.
- m which indicates the number of CLI-RSSIs reported in the Report field, may be defined in a specification (e.g., a standard), may be set in the terminal 200 by higher layer signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling), or may be set (or notified) to the terminal 200 by downlink control information (e.g., downlink control information (DCI)).
- RRC Radio Resource Control
- DCI downlink control information
- m may be defined, for example, as a function of the payload size "n" of the uplink control information (UCI) bits reported to the base station 100.
- m and n may differ depending on, for example, whether the uplink shared channel (PUSCH: Physical Uplink Shared Channel) or the uplink control channel (PUCCH: Physical Uplink Control Channel) is used for transmission.
- PUSCH Physical Uplink Shared Channel
- PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel
- the Report field of configuration method 1 may store an average value of the CLI-RSSI values for each of multiple measurement blocks (e.g., an average CLI-RSSI value).
- the average CLI-RSSI value may be, for example, the average value of the CLI-RSSI values of the remaining measurement blocks that are different from the m CLI-RSSIs stored in the Report field, or the average value of the CLI-RSSI values of all measurement blocks, or may be calculated from the average value of the top or bottom X CLI-RSSI values (X is greater than m).
- the first to fourth columns (e.g., #1 to #4) of the Report field shown in FIG. 14 may store information (e.g., Measurement block ID) that identifies the measurement blocks corresponding to the top m CLI-RSSI values.
- the fifth to eighth columns (e.g., #5 to #8) of the Report field shown in FIG. 14 may store quantized values of the CLI-RSSI values corresponding to each of Measurement block IDs #1 to #4.
- a quantized CLI-RSSI value (quantized RSSI) obtained by quantizing the measurement value using a quantization table may be stored as a report value corresponding to the CLI-RSSI value corresponding to Measurement block IDs #1 (e.g., the largest CLI-RSSI value).
- FIG. 14 may store quantized values of the CLI-RSSI values corresponding to each of Measurement block IDs #1 to #4.
- a quantized CLI-RSSI value quantized RSSI obtained by quantizing the measurement value using a quantization table
- a quantized differential CLI-RSSI value obtained by quantizing the difference between the measurement value and the CLI-RSSI value of Measurement block ID #1 using a quantization differential table may be stored as a report value corresponding to the CLI-RSSI value corresponding to Measurement block IDs #2 to #4.
- the ninth column (e.g., #9) of the Report field shown in FIG. 14 may store, for example, a quantized value of the average CLI-RSSI (in the example of FIG. 14, the average CLI-RSSI value of the remaining measurement blocks that is different from the top four CLI-RSSIs). Note that in configuration method 1, the average CLI-RSSI value does not need to be included in the Report field.
- the terminal 200 reports the CLI-RSSI of m measurement blocks out of multiple measurement blocks to the base station 100 using the Report field. This allows the terminal 200 to report to the base station 100 a detailed distribution of non-uniform CLI leakage within the CLI measurement band on a measurement block basis.
- the base station 100 can appropriately perform scheduling for the terminal 200 (e.g., determining MCS and DL allocation) by taking into account the detailed distribution of uneven CLI leakage within the CLI measurement band.
- the base station 100 can identify frequency regions in the CLI measurement band where interference is strong, and can schedule to not allocate signals to those frequency regions. Also, for example, by reporting the bottom m CLI-RSSIs in ascending order, the base station 100 can identify frequency regions in the CLI measurement band where interference is weak, and can schedule to allocate signals to those frequency regions.
- Scheduling that reduces interference between terminals in this way can reduce degradation of the reception characteristics at terminal 200.
- the terminal 200 reports the average CLI-RSSI in the Report field. This allows the base station 100 to identify the approximate interference level in the remaining frequency ranges of the CLI measurement band that are not reported in the Report field. For example, if the top m CLI-RSSI values reported in descending order are large and the average CLI-RSSI value is also large (e.g., greater than a threshold), scheduling is possible that does not allocate signals to frequency ranges that are not reported in the Report field.
- configuration method 1 by setting (e.g., limiting) the number of CLI-RSSIs constituting the Report field to m, it is possible to reduce the number of UCI bits and the number of reports to the base station 100.
- the reason that the number of reports can be reduced is that the number of UCI bits is limited, and when reporting all CLI-RSSIs, the terminal 200 may transmit UCI (e.g., including reports) to the base station 100 multiple times, but by limiting the number of CLI-RSSIs to be reported to m, the number of reports to the base station 100 can be reduced.
- the Report field may be configured with information in a bitmap format corresponding to each of a plurality of (eg, k) measurement blocks into which the CLI measurement band is divided.
- the base station 100 divides the CLI measurement band into multiple threshold sections in the frequency direction. At least one threshold for the measured value of the CLI-RSSI may be set in each of the multiple threshold sections. Furthermore, each threshold section may include at least one measurement block.
- the terminal 200 determines a CLI-RSSI report that includes, for example, information in a bitmap format indicating the comparison result between the measured CLI-RSSI value for each of a plurality of measurement blocks and a threshold. For example, the terminal 200 compares the threshold set for each threshold interval with the CLI-RSSI value in the measurement block within each threshold interval, and determines a one-bit value indicating the comparison result for each measurement block. For example, if the CLI-RSSI value is equal to or less than the threshold, '0' may be set, and if the CLI-RSSI value is greater than the threshold, '1' may be set.
- multiple thresholds may be set in one threshold interval. This allows the terminal 200 to obtain a comparison result of multiple bits for each measurement block. For example, if two thresholds are set in one threshold interval, the measurement value of CLI-RSSI is expressed in two bits.
- the threshold set for each threshold interval may be defined in the specifications (or standards), may be set in the terminal 200 by notification by the base station 100 (e.g., higher layer signaling or dynamic notification), or may be determined by the terminal 200.
- the average CLI-RSSI value of all measurement blocks within the threshold interval, or an offset from the average CLI-RSSI value may be set as the threshold.
- the offset value may be defined in the specifications, or may be set in the terminal 200 by the base station 100.
- the terminal 200 may report the threshold to the base station 100.
- the number of threshold intervals in the CLI measurement band and the size of the threshold interval may be determined by the terminal 200.
- the terminal 200 may report information about the threshold interval (including, for example, the number of threshold intervals and the size of the threshold interval (or the number of measurement blocks included in the threshold interval)) to the base station 100.
- the terminal 200 reports information regarding the CLI-RSSI of all measurement blocks (e.g., information indicating whether it is greater than a threshold value) to the base station 100 via the Report field. This allows the terminal 200 to report to the base station 100 a detailed distribution of non-uniform CLI leakage within the CLI measurement band on a measurement block basis.
- the base station 100 can appropriately schedule the terminal 200 (e.g., determine the MCS and DL allocation) while taking into account the detailed distribution of the non-uniform CLI leakage within the CLI measurement band. Scheduling that reduces such interference between terminals can reduce the deterioration of the reception characteristics at the terminal 200.
- configuration method 2 by reporting the CLI-RSSI value in bitmap format, it is possible to reduce the number of UCI bits and the number of reports to the base station 100.
- the reason that the number of reports can be reduced is that the number of UCI bits is limited, and when reporting all CLI-RSSI, the terminal 200 may transmit UCI (including reports, for example) to the base station 100 multiple times, but by reporting the CLI-RSSI value in bitmap format, it is possible to reduce the number of UCI bits and the number of reports to the base station 100.
- configuration method 2 by setting multiple threshold intervals in the frequency direction, it is possible to set thresholds according to the characteristics of the non-uniform CLI distribution (e.g., general, carrier leakage, and IQ image), and the terminal 200 can report a Report field suitable for the non-uniform CLI distribution.
- characteristics of the non-uniform CLI distribution e.g., general, carrier leakage, and IQ image
- ⁇ Configuration method 2-1> the Report field reports bitmap-format information (eg, '0' or '1') for all measurement blocks.
- Figure 15 shows an example of a Report field for configuration method 2-1.
- terminal 200 compares the CLI-RSSI values (measured values) of all (e.g., k) measurement blocks within the CLI measurement band with the thresholds of each threshold interval.
- terminal 200 compares the CLI-RSSI values of measurement blocks 1 to 3 with the threshold of threshold interval 1 (threshold 1), and compares the CLI-RSSI values of the remaining measurement blocks 4 to k with the threshold of threshold interval 2 (threshold 2).
- the terminal 200 stores '0' in the Report field if the CLI-RSSI value is less than or equal to the threshold, and stores '1' in the Report field if the CLI-RSSI value is greater than the threshold.
- the CLI-RSSI value is reported in bitmap format (0 or 1) in the Report field, so that only one bit is required per measurement block, and the number of UCI bits can be reduced compared to when the CLI-RSSI value (e.g., quantized value) is reported.
- the number of measurement blocks (the value of k in FIG. 15) increases, so the number of bits used for reporting per measurement block is reduced, so the number of UCI bits and the number of reports to the base station 100 can be reduced.
- ⁇ Configuration method 2-2> the CLI-RSSI value is reported using "part 1" and "part 2" of the CLI report.
- the terminal 200 may determine, for example, CLI report part 1 including information in a bitmap format indicating a comparison result between the CLI-RSSI measurement value of each of a plurality of measurement blocks and a threshold, and CLI report part 2 including the CLI-RSSI measurement value of a prescribed number of measurement blocks among the plurality of measurement blocks.
- Figure 16 shows an example of a Report field for configuration method 2-2.
- the terminal 200 may report part 1 and part 2 of the CLI report on the same PUSCH. Reporting of the CLI report using the PUSCH may be applied, for example, when the CLI report setting is an aperiodic CLI report or a semi-persistent CLI report.
- terminal 200 may report CLI report part 1 on PUCCH. Reporting of a CLI report using PUCCH may be applied, for example, when the CLI report setting is periodic CLI report or semi-persistent CLI report.
- CLI Report Part 1 and CLI Report Part 2 are not limited to the above-mentioned examples and may be other channels.
- CLI report settings e.g., periodic CLI report, aperiodic CLI report, and semi-persistent CLI report
- the channels used are not limited to the above-mentioned examples.
- the terminal 200 may encode parts 1 and 2 of the CLI report separately and transmit CLI report part 2 after transmitting CLI report part 1. This allows the base station 100 to determine the data size of CLI report part 2, for example, based on CLI report part 1, and therefore to variably set the data size of CLI report part 2.
- terminal 200 compares the CLI-RSSI value of the measurement block in each threshold interval with the threshold set for each threshold interval. Then, as shown in FIG. 16(b), CLI report part 1 may be configured with bitmap information (e.g., 0 or 1) corresponding to the comparison result between the CLI-RSSI value of the measurement block and the threshold, similar to configuration method 2-1.
- bitmap information e.g., 0 or 1
- CLI report part 2 may be composed of quantized values (e.g., quantized CLI-RSSI values and quantized differential CLI-RSSI values) of all measurement blocks whose CLI-RSSI values exceed a threshold among the measurement blocks reported by CLI report part 1, or, as in configuration method 1, quantized values of the top m CLI-RSSI values (e.g., quantized CLI-RSSI values and quantized differential CLI-RSSI values).
- quantized values e.g., quantized CLI-RSSI values and quantized differential CLI-RSSI values
- the terminal 200 can reduce the number of reports by reporting CLI report part 1 and not reporting CLI report part 2.
- the terminal 200 can report to the base station 100 a CLI value with a large quantization granularity that cannot be reported in the CLI report part 1 by reporting both the CLI report part 1 and the report part 2.
- This allows the base station 100 to perform scheduling (e.g., determining DL allocation resources and MCS) based on, for example, the detailed CLI-RSSI value reported by the CLI report part 2.
- threshold intervals are set within the CLI measurement band, but the number of threshold intervals is not limited to two, and three or more may be set. Alternatively, there may be only one threshold interval within the CLI measurement band.
- one threshold may be set in one threshold interval, and multiple thresholds may be set in other threshold intervals.
- bitmap-formatted information about all measurement blocks within the CLI measurement band was reported, but this is not limited thereto, and bitmap-formatted information about some of the measurement blocks within the CLI measurement band may also be reported.
- the Report field information about measurement blocks corresponding to some of the frequency bands in the CLI measurement band may be reported, or information about measurement blocks at intervals of a specified number may be reported.
- the Report field may be configured by the interference model number and the average value of the CLI-RSSI.
- the interference model number is, for example, a number that identifies an interference model that models the expected distribution of CLI (or CLI leakage distribution) in the CLI measurement band.
- Figure 17 shows an example of the Report field configuration for configuration method 3.
- the base station 100 sets information related to multiple interference models in the terminal 200.
- the setting of multiple interference models may be defined by a specification (e.g., a standard), may be set in the terminal 200 by higher layer signaling, or may be set (or notified) to the terminal 200 by downlink control information.
- the terminal 200 compares the CLI distribution (e.g., interference distribution) obtained from the measured CLI-RSSI values of each of multiple measurement blocks within the CLI measurement band with the set interference model, and identifies the interference model number of the interference model that corresponds to the CLI distribution (e.g., the closest interference model).
- the CLI distribution e.g., interference distribution
- the terminal 200 calculates, for example, the average value of the CLI-RSSI values (average CLI-RSSI value) for each measurement block in the CLI measurement band.
- the terminal 200 reports a CLI-RSSI report including the identified interference model number and the average CLI-RSSI value to the base station 100.
- N interference models e.g., interference models 0 to N-1
- Terminal 200 calculates the CLI distribution (CLI leakage) in the CLI measurement band, for example, based on the CLI-RSSI values of all measurement blocks in the CLI measurement band.
- Terminal 200 compares the calculated CLI distribution with the N interference models, and selects the interference model that is closest to the CLI distribution (interference model 1 in FIG. 17(a)).
- the terminal 200 quantizes the average value of the CLI-RSSI values of all measurement blocks to obtain a quantized average CLI-RSSI value.
- the terminal 200 constructs (or stores) the selected interference model number (e.g., the first column (#1)) and the quantized average CLI-RSSI value (e.g., the second column (#2)) in the Report field and reports it to the base station 100.
- the selected interference model number e.g., the first column (#1)
- the quantized average CLI-RSSI value e.g., the second column (#2)
- Base station 100 identifies (or estimates) the CLI distribution in terminal 200 based on the interference model number and the quantized average CLI-RSSI value included in the report reported by terminal 200.
- the terminal 200 reports information about the interference model corresponding to the CLI distribution in the CLI measurement band to the base station 100 through the Report field. This allows the terminal 200 to report to the base station 100 a detailed distribution of non-uniform CLI leakage within the CLI measurement band.
- Base station 100 can appropriately schedule terminal 200 (e.g., determine MCS and DL allocation) based on, for example, an interference model corresponding to the CLI distribution in the reported CLI measurement band and the average CLI-RSSI value, taking into account the detailed distribution of non-uniform CLI leakage in the CLI measurement band. Scheduling that reduces such interference between terminals can reduce degradation of reception characteristics in terminal 200.
- the terminal 200 reports an interference model number instead of the measured value of CLI-RSSI, which makes it possible to reduce the number of UCI bits and the number of reports to the base station 100.
- the base station 100 identifies the overall power of the CLI distribution. This allows the base station 100 to adjust the CLI distribution according to the interference model in accordance with the average CLI-RSSI value, thereby improving the estimation accuracy of the CLI distribution.
- the terminal 200 determines a CLI-RSSI report based on the measured CLI-RSSI value for each of a plurality of measurement blocks obtained by dividing the CLI measurement band (measurement resource) in the frequency domain, and transmits the CLI-RSSI report to the base station 100.
- the terminal 200 can appropriately report the CLI between terminals (uneven CLI distribution) to the base station 100.
- the base station 100 can appropriately perform scheduling (for example, setting MCS or allocating DL resources) for the terminal 200 according to the reported CLI value and the frequency position (for example, the position of the measurement block) corresponding to the reported CLI.

- NR use cases/deployment scenarios may include enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine type communication (mMTC), which have diverse requirements in terms of data rate, latency, and coverage.
- eMBB enhanced mobile broadband
- URLLC ultra-reliable low-latency communications
- mMTC massive machine type communication
- eMBB is expected to support peak data rates (20 Gbps in the downlink and 10 Gbps in the uplink) and effective (user-experienced) data rates that are about three times higher than the data rates offered by IMT-Advanced.
- URLLC stricter requirements are imposed on ultra-low latency (0.5 ms for user plane latency in UL and DL, respectively) and high reliability (1-10-5 within 1 ms).
- mMTC may require preferably high connection density (1,000,000 devices/km 2 in urban environments), wide coverage in adverse environments, and extremely long battery life (15 years) for low-cost devices.
- OFDM numerology e.g., subcarrier spacing, OFDM symbol length, cyclic prefix (CP) length, number of symbols per scheduling interval
- OFDM numerology e.g., subcarrier spacing, OFDM symbol length, cyclic prefix (CP) length, number of symbols per scheduling interval
- low latency services may preferably require a shorter symbol length (and therefore a larger subcarrier spacing) and/or fewer symbols per scheduling interval (also called TTI) than mMTC services.
- deployment scenarios with large channel delay spreads may preferably require a longer CP length than scenarios with short delay spreads.
- Subcarrier spacing may be optimized accordingly to maintain similar CP overhead.
- NR may support one or more subcarrier spacing values. Correspondingly, subcarrier spacings of 15 kHz, 30 kHz, 60 kHz... are currently considered.
- a resource grid of subcarriers and OFDM symbols is defined for the uplink and downlink, respectively.
- Each element of the resource grid is called a resource element and is identified based on a frequency index in the frequency domain and a symbol position in the time domain (see 3GPP TS 38.211 v15.6.0).
- Figure 19 shows the functional separation between NG-RAN and 5GC.
- the logical nodes of NG-RAN are gNB or ng-eNB.
- 5GC has logical nodes AMF, UPF, and SMF.
- gNBs and ng-eNBs host the following main functions: - Radio Resource Management functions such as Radio Bearer Control, Radio Admission Control, Connection Mobility Control, dynamic allocation (scheduling) of resources to UEs in both uplink and downlink; - IP header compression, encryption and integrity protection of the data; - Selection of an AMF at UE attach time when routing to an AMF cannot be determined from information provided by the UE; - Routing of user plane data towards the UPF; - Routing of control plane information towards the AMF; - Setting up and tearing down connections; - scheduling and transmission of paging messages; Scheduling and transmission of system broadcast information (AMF or Operation, Admission, Maintenance (OAM) origin); - configuration of measurements and measurement reporting for mobility and scheduling; - Transport level packet marking in the uplink; - Session management; - Support for network slicing; - Management of QoS flows and mapping to data radio bearers; - Support for UEs in RRC_INACTIVE state; - NAS

- Figure 20 shows some of the interactions between the UE, gNB, and AMF (5GC entities) when the UE transitions from RRC_IDLE to RRC_CONNECTED, NAS part (see TS 38.300 v15.6.0).
- RRC is a higher layer signaling (protocol) used for UE and gNB configuration.
- the AMF prepares UE context data (which includes, for example, PDU session context, security keys, UE Radio Capability, UE Security Capabilities, etc.) and sends it to the gNB with an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST.
- the gNB then activates AS security together with the UE. This is done by the gNB sending a SecurityModeCommand message to the UE and the UE responding with a SecurityModeComplete message to the gNB.
- the gNB then sends an RRCReconfiguration message to the UE, and upon receiving an RRCReconfigurationComplete from the UE, the gNB performs reconfiguration to set up Signaling Radio Bearer 2 (SRB2) and Data Radio Bearer (DRB). For signaling-only connections, the RRCReconfiguration steps are omitted, since SRB2 and DRB are not set up. Finally, the gNB notifies the AMF that the setup procedure is complete with an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE.
- SRB2 Signaling Radio Bearer 2
- DRB Data Radio Bearer
- a 5th Generation Core (5GC) entity e.g., AMF, SMF, etc.
- a control circuit that, during operation, establishes a Next Generation (NG) connection with a gNodeB
- a transmitter that, during operation, transmits an initial context setup message to the gNodeB via the NG connection such that a signaling radio bearer between the gNodeB and a user equipment (UE) is set up.
- the gNodeB transmits Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling including a resource allocation configuration information element (IE) to the UE via the signaling radio bearer.
- RRC Radio Resource Control
- IE resource allocation configuration information element
- Figure 21 shows some of the use cases for 5G NR.
- the 3rd generation partnership project new radio (3GPP NR) considers three use cases that were envisioned by IMT-2020 to support a wide variety of services and applications.
- the first phase of specifications for enhanced mobile-broadband (eMBB) has been completed.
- Current and future work includes standardization for ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC), in addition to expanding support for eMBB.
- Figure 21 shows some examples of envisioned usage scenarios for IMT beyond 2020 (see, for example, ITU-R M.2083 Figure 2).
- the URLLC use cases have stringent requirements for performance such as throughput, latency, and availability. It is envisioned as one of the enabling technologies for future applications such as wireless control of industrial or manufacturing processes, remote medical surgery, automation of power transmission and distribution in smart grids, and road safety.
- URLLC's ultra-high reliability is supported by identifying technologies that meet the requirements set by TR 38.913.
- key requirements include a target user plane latency of 0.5 ms for UL (uplink) and 0.5 ms for DL (downlink).
- the overall URLLC requirement for a single packet transmission is a block error rate (BLER) of 1E-5 for a packet size of 32 bytes with a user plane latency of 1 ms.
- BLER block error rate
- NR URLLC can be improved in many possible ways.
- Current room for reliability improvement includes defining a separate CQI table for URLLC, more compact DCI formats, PDCCH repetition, etc.
- this room can be expanded to achieve ultra-high reliability as NR becomes more stable and more developed (with respect to the key requirements of NR URLLC).
- Specific use cases for NR URLLC in Release 15 include Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR), e-health, e-safety, and mission-critical applications.
- AR/VR Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality
- e-health e-safety
- mission-critical applications mission-critical applications.
- the technology enhancements targeted by NR URLLC aim to improve latency and reliability.
- Technology enhancements for improving latency include configurable numerology, non-slot-based scheduling with flexible mapping, grant-free (configured grant) uplink, slot-level repetition in data channel, and pre-emption in downlink.
- Pre-emption means that a transmission for which resources have already been allocated is stopped and the already allocated resources are used for other transmissions with lower latency/higher priority requirements that are requested later. Thus, a transmission that was already allowed is preempted by a later transmission. Pre-emption is applicable regardless of the specific service type. For example, a transmission of service type A (URLLC) may be preempted by a transmission of service type B (eMBB, etc.).
- Technology enhancements for improving reliability include a dedicated CQI/MCS table for a target BLER of 1E-5.
- the mMTC (massive machine type communication) use case is characterized by a very large number of connected devices transmitting relatively small amounts of data that are typically not sensitive to latency.
- the devices are required to be low cost and have very long battery life. From an NR perspective, utilizing very narrow bandwidth portions is one solution that saves power from the UE's perspective and allows for long battery life.
- the scope of reliability improvement in NR is expected to be broader.
- One of the key requirements for all cases, e.g. for URLLC and mMTC, is high or ultra-high reliability.
- Several mechanisms can improve reliability from a radio perspective and a network perspective.
- these areas include compact control channel information, data channel/control channel repetition, and diversity in frequency, time, and/or spatial domains. These areas are generally applicable to reliability improvement regardless of the specific communication scenario.
- NR URLLC For NR URLLC, further use cases with more demanding requirements are envisaged, such as factory automation, transportation and power distribution.
- the demanding requirements are high reliability (up to 10-6 level of reliability), high availability, packet size up to 256 bytes, time synchronization up to a few ⁇ s (depending on the use case, the value can be 1 ⁇ s or a few ⁇ s depending on the frequency range and low latency of around 0.5 ms to 1 ms (e.g. 0.5 ms latency at the targeted user plane).
- minislot refers to a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) that contains fewer symbols than a slot (a slot comprises 14 symbols).
- TTI Transmission Time Interval
- QoS Quality of Service
- the 5G Quality of Service (QoS) model is based on QoS flows and supports both QoS flows that require a guaranteed flow bit rate (GBR QoS flows) and QoS flows that do not require a guaranteed flow bit rate (non-GBR QoS flows).
- GRR QoS flows Guarantee flow bit rate
- non-GBR QoS flows QoS flows that do not require a guaranteed flow bit rate
- QoS flows are the finest granularity of QoS partitioning in a PDU session.
- QoS flows are identified within a PDU session by a QoS Flow ID (QFI) carried in the encapsulation header over the NG-U interface.
- QFI QoS Flow ID
- 5GC For each UE, 5GC establishes one or more PDU sessions. For each UE, the NG-RAN establishes at least one Data Radio Bearer (DRB) for the PDU session, e.g. as shown above with reference to Figure 20. Additional DRBs for the QoS flows of the PDU session can be configured later (when it is up to the NG-RAN).
- the NG-RAN maps packets belonging to different PDU sessions to different DRBs.
- the NAS level packet filters in the UE and 5GC associate UL and DL packets with QoS flows, whereas the AS level mapping rules in the UE and NG-RAN associate UL and DL QoS flows with DRBs.
