A disclosure of the present specification provides a method for performing measurements. The method may performed by a user equipment (UE) comprise: performing, by the UE, measurements; based on that (i) the measurements are for measuring a cross link interference (CLI) and (ii) that the measurements are performed on a sounding reference signal (SRS) from a neighboring UE in a neighboring cell, adjusting a time error between a downlink reference timing in a serving cell and a SRS arrival timing from the neighboring UE. The adjustment is performed based on offset.

In a particular implementation, a method of wireless communication includes detecting, at a user equipment (UE) associated with a first base station, one or more interfering beams generated by a second base station. The second base station is a neighboring base station of the first base station. The method also includes transmitting, from the UE to the first base station, an interference identification message indicating the one or more interfering beams. The method further includes receiving, from the first base station, a scheduling message indicating a set of beams of the second base station that are scheduled for use in upcoming transmissions.

A network node (300), a wireless device (304) and methods therein, for handling interference in a wireless network where a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, scheme is employed to control transmissions. The network node (300) determines whether a first wireless device (302) is compatible with a second wireless device (304) at a serving network node (300) so that uplink signals transmitted (3:1A, 3:2A) from the wireless devices (302, 304) are spatially separable at the serving network node (300). An LBT-related message is then transmitted (3:4A) to the first wireless device (302), which message indicates that the wireless devices (302, 304) are compatible or incompatible at the serving network node (300). The second wireless device (304) is then able to detect (3:4A), i.e. overhear, the LBT-related message and use it as a basis for deciding (3:5) whether to perform a transmission or not. The second wireless device (304) can thus decide to transmit when the compatibility information indicates that the wireless devices (302, 304) are compatible, or refrain from transmission when the compatibility information indicates that the wireless devices (302, 304) are incompatible.

Disclosed are techniques related to wireless communication system in which a network node is allowed to puncture a reference signal (RS) to deliver high priority data (e.g., URLLC data) to a user equipment (UE) that is not currently being served by the network node. In an aspect, the RS comprises a puncturable subset and an unpuncturable subset. In an aspect, the puncturable subset comprises resources of the RS that are allowed to be punctured, and the unpuncturable subset comprises resources of the RS that are prohibited from being punctured. In an aspect, the network node transmits the RS such that unpuncturable subset indicates whether or not the puncturable subset of the RS has or has not been punctured.

An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may receive a parent knowledge message, the parent knowledge message indicating whether a parent IAB node of the child IAB node has received an optional signaling message, determining to transition between first resources and second resources at a transition time, the first resources being associated with use of a mobile termination of the child IAB node, the second resources being associated with use of the distributed unit of the child IAB node, and determine a number of guard symbols provided by the parent IAB node at the transition time based on whether the parent knowledge message indicates that the parent IAB node has received the optional signaling message.

A small cell communication system is disclosed in which an apparatus (e.g. a central controller) controls allocation of frequency resources in the cells. The apparatus obtains respective information (e.g. RSRP) representing a quality of communication at each user equipment (UE) in the cells; determines, based on the received information, whether a corresponding UE is a subject of interference and, when the corresponding UE is a subject of interference, identifies at least one aggressor causing the interference to that UE. In each cell, the UEs served by that cell are grouped such that UEs having a common aggressor (or common aggressors) are grouped into respective group(s), and any UEs not subject to interference are grouped into another group. The apparatus allocates at least one frequency for each UE based on the respective group into which that UE has been grouped.

Disclosed is a method for transmitting and receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, in a method for reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, a plurality of BWPs are configured for the UE, and the plurality of BWPs include an activated first BWP and an inactivated second BWP, wherein the method may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, information related to CSI for the second BWP on the first BWP; receiving a reference signal from the base station on the second BWP; performing a measurement on the basis of the reference signal; and transmitting, to the base station, CSI obtained on the basis of the measurement on the first BWP.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to reducing user equipment (UE)-to-UE cross-link interference are provided. A user equipment (UE) may receive from a base station (BS), a time-division-duplexing (TDD) pattern. The UE may establish a guard band on uplink resources from resources specified in the TDD pattern. Alternatively, the UE may reduce power to uplink resources from the resources specified in the TDD pattern. The UE transmits the resources using a carrier and as specified in the TDD pattern.

A method performed by a network node (160) is provided. The method comprises the network node determining (700) a configuration for a demodulation reference signal, DMRS, wherein the DMRS comprises a pattern using common resource elements of at least two of the plurality of radio access technologies and receiving or transmitting (720) a data transmission based on the determined configuration for the demodulation reference signal.

Various solutions for handling multiple active configurations of configured grant with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may determine whether multiple active configurations of a configured grant corresponding to a bandwidth part of a serving cell are configured. The apparatus may apply a restriction on an initial transmission of a transport block (TB) in an event that the multiple active configurations of the configured grant are configured. The apparatus may perform the initial transmission of the TB according to the restriction.
