An apparatus configured to be employed in a victim transmission reception point (TRP) associated with a new radio (NR) communication system is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a memory interface and a processing circuit. In some embodiments, the processing circuit is configured to process one or more predefined interference signals respectively received from one or more interfering TRPs during a guard period of the victim TRP. In some embodiments, the guard period comprises a time period between a downlink (DL) transmission and an uplink (UL) transmission associated with a time division duplex (TDD) frame of the victim TRP. In some embodiments, the processing circuit is further configured to determine an inter-TRP interference based on the one or more predefined interference signals. In some embodiments, the inter-TRP interference comprises a measurement of a UL interference at the victim TRP from the one or more interfering TRPs.

An approach is described for a method for a base station in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication or a new radio (NR) system that includes the following steps. The method includes determining base initial seeds and a time parameter. The method further includes generating actual initial seeds based on the base initial seeds and the time parameter; generating a Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequence based on one of the actual initial seeds; and generating a remote interference management reference signal (RIM-RS) sequence based on the PN sequence. The method further includes transmitting the RIM-RS sequence to a remote base station.

Disclosed are an interference processing method, a terminal device, a network device, and a computer storage medium. The method comprises: when a terminal device is in a dual-connection mode, detecting the internal interference level when at least one sub-band on a carrier of a first cell and a second cell transmit and receive data at the same time, wherein in the dual-connection mode, the terminal device can establish a connection with the first cell and the second cell; according to the internal interference level when the sub-band and the second cell transmit and receive data at the same time, determining the usage priority of the sub-band; and reporting the sub-band and the corresponding internal interference level and usage priority to a network side, wherein the internal interference level comprises at least one of the following: whether an internal interference indication and an internal interference grade exist.

A method, base station (BS), user equipment (UE), apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication are provided. An aggressor BS may cause a remote interference condition for a victim BS, and the victim BS may transmit a reference signal to the aggressor BS to enable a remote interference management (RIM) operation to be performed. However, the aggressor BS may be unable to identify the victim BS based at least in part on the reference signal, and may fail to transmit a reference signal as a response. Further, when the aggressor BS does transmit a reference signal, the victim BS may be unable to identify the aggressor BS. This may reduce an effectiveness of RIM operations. In some aspects, BSs may transmit reciprocal reference signals including identification information to enable effective RIM operations.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for processing interference, a storage medium and an electronic device. The method includes: generating a first reference signal, and sending the first reference signal according to a first parameter set.

Described is a method of reducing uplink inter-cell interference in a cellular communications network. The method comprises identifying in a cell any user equipments (UEs) which are susceptible to interference (ISUs) from another UE, particularly another UE in a neighboring cell. The method includes identifying in said cell any UEs causing interference (ICUs) to at least one neighboring cell and, more particularly, causing interference to a UE in a neighboring cell. The identified ISUs and ICUs are combined into a priority list for frequency resource reservation or allocation in said cell. The method may include limiting the identification of ISUs and ICUs to a selected number of UEs within the cell.

The present disclosure provides a precoding processing method and apparatus for data, and a storage medium. The method includes: determining a precoding mode according to a type of a control channel, wherein the precoding mode at least includes one of: a predefined precoding mode or a feedback precoding mode; and performing precoding processing on data of the control channel according to the precoding mode.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, transmissions from a neighboring base station may interfere with downlink transmissions from a serving base station to a target user equipment (UE). To coordinate interference between the base stations (e.g., mitigate interference, stabilize interference, etc.), the serving base station may generate an interference coordination message and may transmit the message over-the-air (OTA) to one or more neighboring base stations. The message may include parameters indicating a coordination scheme for the neighboring base station(s) to use for modifying one or more scheduling decisions. The coordination scheme may be configured or dynamically selected and may include interfering beam fixation, interfering beam suppression, or interfering beam avoidance. A neighboring base station receiving the OTA interference coordination message may modify a scheduling decision to mitigate or stabilize interference when the serving base station is transmitting to the target UE.

There is disclosed a method of operating a network node in a radio access network. The method includes determining an identity associated to a second network node based on received SS/PBCH block transmission received from the second network node and based on a determined time shift of the SS/PBCH block transmission relative to a slot structure. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

A method for interference coordination comprises receiving, from a first network node, a reference signal indicating that one or more second network nodes are experiencing interference. The reference signal indicates at least one identifier for the first network node and for the second network nodes. The method further comprises preparing a remote interference management (RIM) coordination message based on the reference signal, and sending, to the first network node, the RIM coordination message to be forwarded to the second network nodes. The method provides a communication between a central aggressor network node and a central victim network node to exchange reference signal and RIM coordination information. Furthermore, the central victim network node may pass the RIM coordination message to a group of victim network nodes indicated in the RIM coordination message.
