Title: Interference estimation for resource availability determination

Description:
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for interference estimation for resource availability determination. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). 
     A wireless network may include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs). A UE may communicate with a BS via the downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP), a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP), a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, or the like. 
     The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. NR, which may also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim. 
     Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. 
     It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G). 
       FIG. 1  is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network  100 , in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless network  100  may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and/or an LTE network, among other examples. The wireless network  100  may include a number of base stations  110  (shown as BS  110   a , BS  110   b , BS  110   c , and BS  110   d ) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, a Node B, a gNB, a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP), or the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and/or a BS subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. 
     A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). ABS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. ABS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In the example shown in  FIG. 1 , a BS  110   a  may be a macro BS for a macro cell  102   a , a BS  110   b  may be a pico BS for a pico cell  102   b , and a BS  110   c  may be a femto BS for a femto cell  102   c . A BS may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” may be used interchangeably herein. 
     In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network  100  through various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network. 
     Wireless network  100  may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown in  FIG. 1 , a relay BS  110   d  may communicate with macro BS  110   a  and a UE  120   d  in order to facilitate communication between BS  110   a  and UE  120   d . A relay BS may also be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay, or the like. 
     In some aspects, the wireless network  100  may include one or more non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments in which a non-terrestrial wireless communication device may include a UE (referred to herein, interchangeably, as a “non-terrestrial UE”), a BS (referred to herein, interchangeably, as a “non-terrestrial BS” and “non-terrestrial base station”), a relay station (referred to herein, interchangeably, as a “non-terrestrial relay station”), and/or the like. As used herein, an NTN may refer to a network for which access is facilitated by a non-terrestrial UE, non-terrestrial BS, a non-terrestrial relay station, and/or the like. 
     The wireless network  100  may include any number of non-terrestrial wireless communication devices. A non-terrestrial wireless communication device may include a satellite, a manned aircraft system, an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platform, and/or the like. A satellite may include a low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite, a medium-earth orbit (MEO) satellite, a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite, a high elliptical orbit (HEO) satellite, and/or the like. A manned aircraft system may include an airplane, helicopter, a dirigible, and/or the like. A UAS platform may include a high-altitude platform station (HAPS), and may include a balloon, a dirigible, an airplane, and/or the like. A non-terrestrial wireless communication device may be part of an NTN that is separate from the wireless network  100 . Alternatively, an NTN may be part of the wireless network  100 . Satellites may communicate directly and/or indirectly with other entities in wireless network  100  using satellite communication. The other entities may include UEs (e.g., terrestrial UEs and/or non-terrestrial UEs), other satellites in the one or more NTN deployments, other types of BSs (e.g., stationary and/or ground-based BSs), relay stations, one or more components and/or devices included in a core network of wireless network  100 , and/or the like. 
     Wireless network  100  may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, or the like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in wireless network  100 . For example, macro BSs may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts). 
     A network controller  130  may couple to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller  130  may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul. For example, in some aspects, the wireless network  100  may be, include, or be included in a wireless backhaul network, sometimes referred to as an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network. In an IAB network, at least one base station (e.g., base station  110 ) may be an anchor base station that communicates with a core network via a wired backhaul link, such as a fiber connection. An anchor base station may also be referred to as an IAB donor (or IAB-donor), a central entity, a central unit, and/or the like. An IAB network may include one or more non-anchor base stations, sometimes referred to as relay base stations or IAB nodes (or IAB-nodes). The non-anchor base station may communicate directly with or indirectly with (e.g., via one or more non-anchor base stations) the anchor base station via one or more backhaul links to form a backhaul path to the core network for carrying backhaul traffic. Backhaul links may be wireless links. Anchor base station(s) and/or non-anchor base station(s) may communicate with one or more UEs (e.g., UE  120 ) via access links, which may be wireless links for carrying access traffic. 
     In some aspects, a radio access network that includes an IAB network may utilize millimeter wave technology and/or directional communications (e.g., beamforming, precoding and/or the like) for communications between base stations and/or UEs (e.g., between two base stations, between two UEs, and/or between a base station and a UE). For example, wireless backhaul links between base stations may use millimeter waves to carry information and/or may be directed toward a target base station using beamforming, precoding, and/or the like. Similarly, wireless access links between a UE and a base station may use millimeter waves and/or may be directed toward a target wireless node (e.g., a UE and/or a base station). In this way, inter-link interference may be reduced. 
     UEs  120  (e.g.,  120   a ,  120   b ,  120   c ) may be dispersed throughout wireless network  100 , and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, or the like. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium. 
     Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and/or location tags, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a customer premises equipment (CPE). UE  120  may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE  120 , such as processor components and/or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled. 
     In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed. 
     In some aspects, two or more UEs  120  (e.g., shown as UE  120   a  and UE  120   e ) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station  110  as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs  120  may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol or a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In this case, the UE  120  may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station  110 . 
     Devices of wireless network  100  may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided based on frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of wireless network  100  may communicate using an operating band having a first frequency range (FR1), which may span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and/or may communicate using an operating band having a second frequency range (FR2), which may span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is often referred to as a “millimeter wave” band despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band. Thus, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is contemplated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges. 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 1  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to  FIG. 1 . 
       FIG. 2  is a diagram illustrating an example  200  of a base station  110  in communication with a UE  120  in a wireless network  100 , in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Base station  110  may be equipped with T antennas  234   a  through  234   t , and UE  120  may be equipped with R antennas  252   a  through  252   r , where in general T≥1 and R≥1. 
     At base station  110 , a transmit processor  220  may receive data from a data source  212  for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor  220  may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor  220  may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor  230  may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs)  232   a  through  232   t . Each modulator  232  may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator  232  may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators  232   a  through  232   t  may be transmitted via T antennas  234   a  through  234   t , respectively. 
     At UE  120 , antennas  252   a  through  252   r  may receive the downlink signals from base station  110  and/or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs)  254   a  through  254   r , respectively. Each demodulator  254  may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator  254  may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector  256  may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators  254   a  through  254   r , perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor  258  may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE  120  to a data sink  260 , and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor  280 . The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a channel quality indicator (CQI) parameter, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more components of UE  120  may be included in a housing  284 . 
     Network controller  130  may include communication unit  294 , controller/processor  290 , and memory  292 . Network controller  130  may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. Network controller  130  may communicate with base station  110  via communication unit  294 . 
     Antennas (e.g., antennas  234   a  through  234   t  and/or antennas  252   a  through  252   r ) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, and/or antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include a set of coplanar antenna elements and/or a set of non-coplanar antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include antenna elements within a single housing and/or antenna elements within multiple housings. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of  FIG. 2 . 
     On the uplink, at UE  120 , a transmit processor  264  may receive and process data from a data source  262  and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from controller/processor  280 . Transmit processor  264  may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor  264  may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor  266  if applicable, further processed by modulators  254   a  through  254   r  (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM) and transmitted to base station  110 . In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD/DEMOD  254 ) of the UE  120  may be included in a modem of the UE  120 . In some aspects, the UE  120  includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s)  252 , modulators and/or demodulators  254 , MIMO detector  256 , receive processor  258 , transmit processor  264 , and/or TX MIMO processor  266 . The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor  280 ) and memory  282  to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to  FIGS. 7-8 . 
     At base station  110 , the uplink signals from UE  120  and other UEs may be received by antennas  234 , processed by demodulators  232 , detected by a MIMO detector  236  if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor  238  to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE  120 . Receive processor  238  may provide the decoded data to a data sink  239  and the decoded control information to controller/processor  240 . Base station  110  may include communication unit  244  and communicate to network controller  130  via communication unit  244 . Base station  110  may include a scheduler  246  to schedule UEs  120  for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD/DEMOD  232 ) of the base station  110  may be included in a modem of the base station  110 . In some aspects, the base station  110  includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s)  234 , modulators and/or demodulators  232 , MIMO detector  236 , receive processor  238 , transmit processor  220 , and/or TX MIMO processor  230 . The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor  240 ) and memory  242  to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to  FIGS. 7-8 . 
     Controller/processor  240  of base station  110 , controller/processor  280  of UE  120 , and/or any other component(s) of  FIG. 2  may perform one or more techniques associated with interference estimation for resource availability determination, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. In some aspects, the wireless communication device described herein is the base station  110 , is included in the base station  110 , or includes one or more components of the base station  110  shown in  FIG. 2 . In some aspects, the wireless communication device described herein is the UE  120 , is included in the UE  120 , or includes one or more components of the UE  120  shown in  FIG. 2 . For example, controller/processor  240  of base station  110 , controller/processor  280  of UE  120 , and/or any other component(s) of  FIG. 2  may perform or direct operations of, for example, process  800  of  FIG. 8 , and/or other processes as described herein. Memories  242  and  282  may store data and program codes for base station  110  and UE  120 , respectively. In some aspects, memory  242  and/or memory  282  may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the base station  110  and/or the UE  120 , may cause the one or more processors, the UE  120 , and/or the base station  110  to perform or direct operations of, for example, process  800  of  FIG. 8 , and/or other processes as described herein ein. In some aspects, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instructions, among other examples. 
     In some aspects, the first wireless communication device includes means for receiving, from a second wireless communication device, an announcement associated with a first future communication and that indicates a set of resources associated with the first future communication; or means for communicating using the set of resources based at least in part on a determination that an estimated interference that will result from a second future communication using the set of resources satisfies an interference condition. In some aspects, the means for the first wireless communication device to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of transmit processor  220 , TX MIMO processor  230 , modulator  232 , antenna  234 , demodulator  232 , MIMO detector  236 , receive processor  238 , controller/processor  240 , memory  242 , or scheduler  246 . In some aspects, the means for the first wireless communication device to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of antenna  252 , demodulator  254 , MIMO detector  256 , receive processor  258 , transmit processor  264 , TX MIMO processor  266 , modulator  254 , controller/processor  280 , or memory  282 . 
     In some aspects, the first wireless communication device includes means for determining a RSRP associated with the announcement; or means for determining that the RSRP satisfies an RSRP threshold. 
     In some aspects, the first wireless communication device includes means for receiving, from the second wireless communication device, an indication of the RSRP threshold. 
     In some aspects, the first wireless communication device includes means for receiving, from the second wireless communication device, an indication of a set of potential RSRP thresholds, wherein the set of potential RSRP thresholds correspond to a set of potential priorities associated with the second future communication; or means for determining the RSRP threshold by selecting a potential RSRP threshold of the set of potential RSRP thresholds based at least in part on a priority associated with the second future communication. 
     In some aspects, the first wireless communication device includes means for receiving, from the second wireless communication device, an indication of a set of potential RSRP thresholds, wherein the set of potential RSRP thresholds correspond to a set of potential transmission power levels associated with the second future communication; or means for determining the RSRP threshold by selecting a potential RSRP threshold of the set of potential RSRP thresholds based at least in part on a transmission power level associated with the second future communication. 
     While blocks in  FIG. 2  are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor  264 , the receive processor  258 , and/or the TX MIMO processor  266  may be performed by or under the control of controller/processor  280 . 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 2  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to  FIG. 2 . 
       FIG. 3  is a diagram illustrating an example  300  of sidelink communications, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. 
     As shown in  FIG. 3 , a first UE  305 - 1  may communicate with a second UE  305 - 2  (and one or more other UEs  305 ) via one or more sidelink channels  310 . The UEs  305 - 1  and  305 - 2  may communicate using the one or more sidelink channels  310  for P2P communications, D2D communications, V2X communications (e.g., which may include V2V communications, V2I communications, and/or the like), mesh networking, and/or the like. In some aspects, the UEs  305  (e.g., UE  305 - 1  and/or UE  305 - 2 ) may correspond to one or more other UEs described elsewhere herein, such as UE  120 . In some aspects, the one or more sidelink channels  310  may use a PC5 interface and/or may operate in a high frequency band (e.g., the 5.9 GHz band). Additionally, or alternatively, the UEs  305  may synchronize timing of transmission time intervals (TTIs) (e.g., frames, subframes, slots, symbols, and/or the like) using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) timing. 
     As further shown in  FIG. 3 , the one or more sidelink channels  310  may include a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH)  315 , a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH)  320 , and/or a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH)  325 . The PSCCH  315  may be used to communicate control information, similar to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and/or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) used for cellular communications with a base station  110  via an access link or an access channel. The PSSCH  320  may be used to communicate data, similar to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and/or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) used for cellular communications with a base station  110  via an access link or an access channel. For example, the PSCCH  315  may carry sidelink control information (SCI)  330 , which may indicate various control information used for sidelink communications, such as one or more resources (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, spatial resources, and/or the like) where a transport block (TB)  335  may be carried on the PSSCH  320 . The TB  335  may include data. The PSFCH  325  may be used to communicate sidelink feedback  340 , such as hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) feedback (e.g., acknowledgement or negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information), transmit power control (TPC), a scheduling request (SR), and/or the like. 
     In some aspects, the one or more sidelink channels  310  may use resource pools. For example, a scheduling assignment (e.g., included in SCI  330 ) may be transmitted in sub-channels using specific resource blocks (RBs) across time. In some aspects, data transmissions (e.g., on the PSSCH  320 ) associated with a scheduling assignment may occupy adjacent RBs in the same subframe as the scheduling assignment (e.g., using frequency division multiplexing). In some aspects, a scheduling assignment and associated data transmissions are not transmitted on adjacent RBs. 
     In some aspects, a UE  305  may operate using a transmission mode where resource selection and/or scheduling is performed by the UE  305  (e.g., rather than a base station  110 ). In some aspects, the UE  305  may perform resource selection and/or scheduling by sensing channel availability for transmissions. For example, the UE  305  may measure a RSSI parameter (e.g., a sidelink-RSSI (S-RSSI) parameter) associated with various sidelink channels, may measure a RSRP parameter (e.g., a PSSCH-RSRP parameter) associated with various sidelink channels, may measure a RSRQ parameter (e.g., a PSSCH-RSRQ parameter) associated with various sidelink channels, and/or the like, and may select a channel for transmission of a sidelink communication based at least in part on the measurement(s). 
     Additionally, or alternatively, the UE  305  may perform resource selection and/or scheduling using SCI  330  received in the PSCCH  315 , which may indicate occupied resources, channel parameters, and/or the like. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE  305  may perform resource selection and/or scheduling by determining a channel busy rate (CBR) associated with various sidelink channels, which may be used for rate control (e.g., by indicating a maximum number of resource blocks that the UE  305  can use for a particular set of subframes). 
     In the transmission mode where resource selection and/or scheduling is performed by a UE  305 , the UE  305  may generate sidelink grants, and may transmit the grants in SCI  330 . A sidelink grant may indicate, for example, one or more parameters (e.g., transmission parameters) to be used for an upcoming sidelink transmission, such as one or more resource blocks to be used for the upcoming sidelink transmission on the PSSCH  320  (e.g., for TBs  335 ), one or more subframes to be used for the upcoming sidelink transmission, an MCS to be used for the upcoming sidelink transmission, and/or the like. In some aspects, a UE  305  may generate a sidelink grant that indicates one or more parameters for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), such as a periodicity of a sidelink transmission. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE  305  may generate a sidelink grant for event-driven scheduling, such as for an on-demand sidelink message. 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 3  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG. 3 . 
       FIG. 4  is a diagram illustrating an example  400  of sidelink communications and access link communications, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. 
     As shown in  FIG. 4 , a transmitter (Tx)/receiver (Rx) UE  405  and an Rx/Tx UE  410  may communicate with one another via a sidelink, as described above in connection with  FIG. 3 . As further shown, in some sidelink modes, a base station  110  may communicate with the Tx/Rx UE  405  via a first access link. Additionally, or alternatively, in some sidelink modes, the base station  110  may communicate with the Rx/Tx UE  410  via a second access link. The Tx/Rx UE  405  and/or the Rx/Tx UE  410  may correspond to one or more UEs described elsewhere herein, such as the UE  120  of  FIG. 1 . Thus, a direct link between UEs  120  (e.g., via a PC5 interface) may be referred to as a sidelink, and a direct link between a base station  110  and a UE  120  (e.g., via a Uu interface) may be referred to as an access link. Sidelink communications may be transmitted via the sidelink, and access link communications may be transmitted via the access link. An access link communication may be either a downlink communication (from a base station  110  to a UE  120 ) or an uplink communication (from a UE  120  to a base station  110 ). 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 4  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG. 4 . 
       FIG. 5  is a diagram illustrating an example  500  of communications in a network, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown, a first wireless communication device (WCD  1 ), a second wireless communication device (WCD  2 ), a third wireless communication device (WCD  3 ), and a fourth wireless communication device (WCD  4 ) may communicate in a network. The network may be any type of network in which devices may communicate with other devices using beamforming techniques. For example, the network may be a millimeter wave network. In some cases, the network may be a sidelink network and/or an IAB network, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more of the WCDs may be, include, or be included in a UE, a base station, and/or an IAB node. 
     The WCD  1  may be scheduled to transmit a first future communication to WCD  4  using a beam  510 . The beam  510  may include an expanding coverage area (e.g., beam width) indicated by the area inside the two dashed arrows in  FIG. 5 . A future communication is a communication that is to occur at some time in the future. Other WCDs may be scheduled to transmit and/or receive future communications using beams within the coverage area of the beam  510 . 
     For example, as indicated in  FIG. 5 , the WCD  2  may intend to receive a second future communication. The WCD  2  and/or the device that is transmitting that second future communication to the WCD  2  may be configured to select resources to mitigate and/or minimize interference between the first and second future communications. To facilitate avoidance of interference, WCDs may transmit announcements that indicate future communications. In some aspects, announcements may include transmission (Tx) announcements (shown in  FIG. 5  as “TxA”) that indicate a future transmission of a communication and/or reception (Rx) announcements (shown in  FIG. 6  as “RxA”) that indicate a future reception of a communication. TxAs and RxAs may indicate the resources that will be used for the future communication. 
     For example, a transmission announcement may indicate a set of resources reserved for a future transmission of a communication. In some cases, a transmission announcement may be transmitted using a beam to be used to transmit the transmission that is indicated by the transmission announcement. In some cases, the transmission announcement may be transmitted using a beam that is wider than the beam to be used to transmit the transmission indicated by the transmission announcement. In this case, the transmission announcement may be used to facilitate preventing a WCD within the coverage area from using resources, in a direction overlapped by the coverage area, that overlap resources used by the WCD  1  to transmit the future communication. In some cases, the transmission announcement may be transmitted as part of SCI. A nearby WCD can receive the transmission announcement and, in response to receiving the transmission announcement, can select resources and/or beams that do not overlap those indicated in the announcement. 
     For example, as shown in  FIG. 5 , the WCD  2  may intend, at least initially, to transmit and/or receive a communication using the beam  520 , which may have a coverage area that overlaps the coverage area of the beam  510 . The WCD  2  may receive the transmission announcement and, in response to receiving the transmission announcement, may avoid communicating on the beam  520  (as indicated by the “X” over the beam  520 ). In some cases, the WCD  2  may avoid communicating using resources indicated in the transmission announcement. 
     In some cases, the WCD  2  may provide a resource recommendation to another WCD (e.g., WCD  3 ) that is based at least in part on the transmission announcement. For example, as shown in  FIG. 5 , the WCD  3  may be receiving using a beam  530  that is directed away from the beam  510  on which the transmission announcement is transmitted. As such, the WCD  3  may not receive the transmission announcement. However, the WCD  2  may transmit a resource recommendation to the WCD  3  that indicates the resource information provided in the transmission announcement and/or that suggests resources for the WCD  3  to use that avoid interference with the future communication. 
     In some cases, to facilitate reception of relevant transmission announcements, a WCD (e.g., WCD  2 ) may monitor for transmission announcements using a beam that the WCD intends to use to transmit or receive a communication. In some cases, to further facilitate avoidance of interference, a WCD that intends to receive a communication may monitor for transmission announcements. Similarly, a WCD that intends to transmit a communication may monitor for reception announcements. 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 5  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG. 5 . 
       FIG. 6  is a diagram illustrating an example  600  of communications in a network, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown, a first wireless communication device (WCD  1 ), a second wireless communication device (WCD  2 ), a third wireless communication device (WCD  3 ), and a fourth wireless communication device (WCD  4 ) may communicate in a network. The network may be any type of network in which devices may communicate with other devices using beamforming techniques. For example, the network may be a millimeter wave network. In some cases, the network may be a sidelink network and/or an IAB network, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more of the WCDs may be, include, or be included in a UE, a base station, and/or an IAB node. In some cases, the WCDs may be the WCDs depicted in  FIG. 5 . 
     The WCD  2  may be scheduled to receive a first future communication from WCD  4  using a beam  610 . The beam  610  may include an expanding coverage area (e.g., beam width) indicated by the area inside the two dashed arrows in  FIG. 6 . Other WCDs may be scheduled to transmit and/or receive future communications using beams within the coverage area of the beam  610 . 
     For example, as indicated in  FIG. 6 , the WCD  1  may intend to transmit a second future communication. The WCD  1  and/or the device that is receiving that second future communication from the WCD  1  may be configured to select resources to mitigate and/or minimize interference between the first and second future communications. To facilitate avoidance of interference, WCDs may transmit announcements that indicate future communications. In some aspects, for example, a reception announcement (shown as “RxA”) may indicate a set of resources reserved for a future reception of a communication. In some cases, a reception announcement may be received using a beam to be used to receive the communication that is indicated by the reception announcement. In some cases, the reception announcement may be transmitted using a beam that is wider than the beam to be used to receive the communication indicated by the reception announcement. In this case, the reception announcement may be used to facilitate preventing a WCD within the coverage area from using resources, in a direction overlapped by the coverage area, that overlap resources used by the WCD  2  to receive the future communication. In some cases, the reception announcement may be transmitted as part of a PSFCH or similar channel. A nearby WCD can receive the reception announcement and, in response to receiving the reception announcement, can select resources and/or beams that do not overlap those indicated in the announcement. 
     For example, as shown in  FIG. 6 , the WCD  1  may intend, at least initially, to transmit and/or receive a communication using the beam  620 , which may have a coverage area that overlaps the coverage area of the beam  610 . The WCD  1  may receive the reception announcement and, in response to receiving the reception announcement, may avoid communicating on the beam  620  (as indicated by the “X” over the beam  620 ). In some cases, the WCD  1  may avoid communicating using resources indicated in the reception announcement. 
     In some cases, the WCD  1  may provide a resource recommendation to another WCD (e.g., WCD  3 ) that is based at least in part on the reception announcement. For example, as shown in  FIG. 6 , the WCD  3  may be receiving using a beam  630  that is directed away from the beam  610  on which the reception announcement is transmitted. As such, the WCD  3  may not receive the reception announcement. However, the WCD  1  may transmit a resource recommendation to the WCD  3  that indicates the resource information provided in the reception announcement and/or that suggests resources for the WCD  3  to use that avoid interference with the future communication. In some cases, to facilitate reception of relevant reception announcements, a WCD (e.g., WCD  1 ) may monitor for reception announcements using a beam that the WCD intends to use to transmit or receive a communication. 
     In some cases, a transmission announcement and/or reception announcement may indicate a future resource reservation. The WCD  1  may select, based on the announcement, a set of resources for a future communication that are different than the set of resources indicated by the future resource reservation. In this way, the WCD  1  may be able to minimize interference between the future communication indicated in the announcement and a future communication the WCD  1  is scheduled to perform. However, it may be the case that the WCD  1  could use the one or more resources indicated in the announcement effectively because the use of those resources will be likely to cause interference that does not exceed an interference tolerance (e.g., interference condition). In that case, avoiding using the one or more resources may result in inefficient resource consumption and/or reduced network performance. 
     Aspects of the techniques and apparatuses described herein may provide for interference measurement for resource availability determination. For example, in some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive an announcement from another wireless communication device associated with a first future communication. The wireless communication device may determine an estimated interference on the first future communication by a second future communication between the wireless communication devices. The wireless communication device may determine that the estimated interference satisfies an interference condition. For example, in some aspects, an estimated interference that satisfies the interference condition is an amount of interference that has been determined to be acceptable for a communication, communication type, and/or channel. Based at least in part on determining that the estimated interference satisfies an interference condition, the wireless communication device may use one or more resources for the second future communication that are also to be used for the first future communication. In this way, some aspects described herein may facilitate more efficient use of network resources. 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 6  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG. 6 . 
       FIG. 7  is a diagram illustrating an example  700  associated with interference estimation for resource availability determination, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown, a first WCD  705 , a second WCD  710 , and a third WCD  715  may communicate in a network. The network may be any type of network in which devices may communicate with other devices using beamforming techniques. For example, the network may be a millimeter wave network. In some cases, the network may be a sidelink network and/or an IAB network, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more of the WCDs  705 ,  710 , and  715  may be, include, or be included in a UE, a base station, and/or an IAB node. 
     As shown by reference number  720 , the second WCD  710  may transmit, and the first WCD  705  may receive, an announcement associated with a first future communication. The announcement may include a transmission announcement or a reception announcement. In some aspects, the announcement may indicate a set of resources associated with the first future communication. In some aspects, the first WCD  705  may monitor for announcements using a beam and, for example, the announcement may be received using that beam. In some aspects, the WCD  705  may monitor for announcements using a beam or beam that are to be used for the first future communication. 
     As shown by reference number  725 , The WCD  705  may determine an estimated interference associated with the first future communication and a second future communication that the WCD  705  is scheduled to perform. In some aspects, the WCD  705  may determine the estimated interference based at least in part on one or more transmission parameters associated with the second future communication, one or more transmission parameters indicated in the announcement, one or more channel characteristics associated with a channel on which the announcement is received, and/or one or more channel characteristics associated with a channel on which the first future communication and/or the second future communication are scheduled to be transmitted and/or received. 
     For example, in some aspects, the WCD  705  may determine the estimated interference by determining an RSRP associated with the announcement. For example, the WCD  705  may determine the RSRP of the radio signal carrying the announcement. In some aspects, the RSRP may be considered to be the estimated interference, as it may be used as a proxy for interference. 
     As shown by reference number  730 , the WCD  705  may determine that the estimated interference satisfies an interference condition. The interference condition may be a condition that, if satisfied, may be used to determine that the first future communication and the second future communication will not interfere with one another to a degree that would make one of the communications unreliable, inefficient or otherwise undesirable. For example, in some aspects, an estimated interference that satisfies the interference condition is an amount of interference that has been determined to be acceptable. 
     In some aspects, the interference condition may include an RSRP threshold, and the WCD  705  may determine that the estimated interference condition is satisfied by determining that the RSRP satisfies an RSRP threshold. In some aspects, the RSRP threshold may be specified in a wireless communication standard. In some aspects, the RSRP threshold may be based at least upon a priority associated with the first future communication. The announcement may indicate the priority associated with the first future communication. In some aspects, the priority associated with the first future communication may be specified in a wireless communication standard. In some aspects, the RSRP threshold may be based at least upon a priority associated with the second future communication. 
     The RSRP threshold may be based at least upon a rank associated with the first future communication. The announcement may indicate the rank associated with the first future communication. In some aspects, the rank associated with the first future communication may be specified in a wireless communication standard. In some aspects, the RSRP threshold may be based at least upon a rank associated with the second future communication. 
     In some aspects, the WCD  710  may transmit, and the WCD  705  may receive, an indication of the RSRP threshold. The indication of the RSRP threshold may be carried in the announcement. In some aspects, the RSRP threshold may include a maximum RSRP. In some aspects, the RSRP threshold may include a minimum RSRP. In some aspects, the WCD  710  may transmit, and the WCD  705  may receive an indication of a set of potential RSRP thresholds. The set of potential RSRP thresholds may correspond to a set of potential priorities and/or transmission power levels associated with the second future communication. The WCD  705  may determine the RSRP threshold by selecting a potential RSRP threshold of the set of potential RSRP thresholds. The WCD  705  may select the RSRP threshold from the set of potential RSRP thresholds based at least in part on a priority associated with the second future communication. In some aspects, the set of potential RSRP thresholds may be specified in a wireless communication standard. 
     As shown by reference number  735 , the WCD  705  and the WCD  715  may communicate with one another using the set of resources based at least in part on the determination that the estimated interference that will result from a second future communication (e.g., the communication indicated by reference number  735 ) using the set of resources satisfies an interference condition. 
     As indicated above,  FIG. 7  is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG. 7 . 
       FIG. 8  is a diagram illustrating an example process  800  performed, for example, by a first wireless communication device, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Example process  800  is an example where the first wireless communication device (e.g., first wireless communication device  705 , apparatus  900 ) performs operations associated with interference estimation for resource availability determination. 
     As shown in  FIG. 8 , in some aspects, process  800  may include receiving, from a second wireless communication device, an announcement associated with a first future communication and that indicates a set of resources associated with the first future communication (block  810 ). For example, the first wireless communication device (e.g., using reception component  902 , depicted in  FIG. 2 ) may receive, from a second wireless communication device, an announcement associated with a first future communication and that indicates a set of resources associated with the first future communication, as described above. 
     As further shown in  FIG. 8 , in some aspects, process  800  may include communicating using the set of resources based at least in part on a determination that an estimated interference that will result from a second future communication using the set of resources satisfies an interference condition (block  820 ). For example, the first wireless communication device (e.g., using reception component  902  and/or transmission component  904 , depicted in  FIG. 9 ) may communicate using the set of resources based at least in part on a determination that an estimated interference that will result from a second future communication using the set of resources satisfies an interference condition, as described above. 
     Process  800  may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and/or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein. 
     In a first aspect, receiving the announcement comprises receiving the announcement using a beam, and wherein communicating comprises communicating using the beam. 
     In a second aspect, alone or in combination with the first aspect, process  800  includes determining an RSRP associated with the announcement, and determining that the RSRP satisfies an RSRP threshold, wherein the determination that the estimated interference satisfies the interference condition is based at least in part on determining that the RSRP satisfies the RSRP threshold. 
     In a third aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the RSRP threshold is specified in a wireless communication standard. 
     In a fourth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through third aspects, the RSRP threshold is based at least upon a priority associated with the first future communication. 
     In a fifth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fourth aspects, the announcement indicates the priority associated with the first future communication. 
     In a sixth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fifth aspects, the priority associated with the first future communication is specified in a wireless communication standard. 
     In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through sixth aspects, the RSRP threshold is based at least upon a priority associated with the second future communication. 
     In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through seventh aspects, the RSRP threshold is based at least upon a rank associated with the first future communication. 
     In a ninth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through eighth aspects, the announcement indicates the rank associated with the first future communication. 
     In a tenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through ninth aspects, the rank associated with the first future communication is specified in a wireless communication standard.
