Title: Methods and apparatus for base station signaling for interference estimation

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and more particularly, to apparatuses and methods for base station signaling for interference estimation. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communication networks are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be multiple-access systems capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems 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, and single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems. 
     These multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. For example, a fifth generation (5G) wireless communications technology (which may be referred to as new radio (NR)) is envisaged to expand and support diverse usage scenarios and applications with respect to current mobile network generations. In an aspect, 5G communications technology may include: enhanced mobile broadband addressing human-centric use cases for access to multimedia content, services and data; ultra-reliable-low latency communications (URLLC) with certain specifications for latency and reliability; and massive machine type communications, which may allow a very large number of connected devices and transmission of a relatively low volume of non-delay-sensitive information. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, however, further improvements in NR communications technology and beyond may be desired. 
     In a wireless communication network, a base station (BS) may transmit downlink (DL) information to a user equipment (UE) in a cell of the BS. Neighboring BSs may also transmit information to other UEs. However, transmission from the neighboring BSs may cause interference to the UE in the cell of the BS when the UE is receiving the DL information from the BS. The interference may lead to loss of information, delay, and/or other deleterious effects. Therefore, improvements in reducing the impacts of the interference may be desirable.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The detailed description set forth below in connection with the appended drawings is intended as a description of various configurations and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the concepts described herein may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring such concepts. 
     Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methods will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. 
     By way of example, an element, or any portion of an element, or any combination of elements may be implemented as a “processing system” that includes one or more processors. Examples of processors include microprocessors, microcontrollers, graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), application processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processors, systems on a chip (SoC), baseband processors, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), state machines, gated logic, discrete hardware circuits, and other suitable hardware configured to perform the various functionality described throughout this disclosure. One or more processors in the processing system may execute software. Software shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software components, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, functions, etc., whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or otherwise. 
     Accordingly, in one or more example embodiments, the functions described may be implemented in hardware, software, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software, the functions may be stored on or encoded as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable media includes computer storage media. Storage media may be any available media that may be accessed by a computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media may comprise a random-access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage, other magnetic storage devices, combinations of the aforementioned types of computer-readable media, or any other medium that may be used to store computer executable code in the form of instructions or data structures that may be accessed by a computer. 
     In some aspects, slot structures may be flexible in a communication network. Examples of flexible slot structures include mini-slots and ultra-reliable-low latency communications (URLLC). Short bursts of transmission within a regular enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) slot may start at arbitrary symbol locations. Unscheduled uplink transmissions without a grant may be allowed. The network may implement highly adaptive reference signal patterns (e.g., demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and/or channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) patterns may depend on the number of antenna ports, delay tolerance, doppler spread, etc.). Further, the network may implement beam-based transmissions (e.g., interference fluctuates with beam changes, including beam refinements, dynamic switching among multiple possible broadband over power lines (BPLs), etc.). As a result, a user equipment (UE) in the network may experience dynamic bursty inter-cell interference. The interference may vary in the symbol time scale. However, conventional interference measurement framework may be insufficient because the framework only provides measurements on a relatively large time scale (e.g., larger than a symbol). 
     In one aspect of the present disclosure, a UE may receive information relating to interference caused by one or more neighboring base stations (BSs). Such information may be transmitted to the UE by the serving BS, or the one or more neighboring BSs. The UE may receive information from the serving BS, and decode the information based on an interference power profile derived from the information relating to the interference. 
       FIG.  1    is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communications system and an access network  100 . The wireless communications system (also referred to as a wireless wide area network (WWAN)) includes at least one BS  105 , UEs  110 , an Evolved Packet Core (EPC)  160 , and a 5G Core (5GC)  190 . The BS  105  may include macro cells (high power cellular base station) and/or small cells (low power cellular base station). The macro cells include base stations. The small cells include femtocells, picocells, and microcells. In one implementation, the UE  110  may include a communication component  222  configured to communicate with the BS  105  via a cellular network, a Wi-Fi network, or other wireless and wired networks. The UE  110  may include an estimation component  224  configured to estimate or predict an interference power profile caused by the transmission of a neighboring BS. The UE  110  may include a decoding component  226  configured to decode data and/or control information based on the interference power profile. In some implementations, the communication component  222 , the estimation component  224 , and/or the decoding component  226  may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. In some implementations, the BS  105  may include a communication component  322  configured to communicate with the UE  110 . In some implementations, the communication component  322  may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. 
     A BS  105  configured for 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) (collectively referred to as Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) may interface with the EPC  160  through backhaul links interfaces  132  (e.g., S1, X2, Internet Protocol (IP), or flex interfaces). A BS  105  configured for 5G NR (collectively referred to as Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN)) may interface with 5GC  190  through backhaul links interfaces  134  (e.g., S1, X2, Internet Protocol (IP), or flex interface). In addition to other functions, the BS  105  may perform one or more of the following functions: transfer of user data, radio channel ciphering and deciphering, integrity protection, header compression, mobility control functions (e.g., handover, dual connectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection setup and release, load balancing, distribution for non-access stratum (NAS) messages, NAS node selection, synchronization, radio access network (RAN) sharing, multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), subscriber and equipment trace, RAN information management (RIM), paging, positioning, and delivery of warning messages. The BS  105  may communicate directly or indirectly (e.g., through the EPC  160  or 5GC  190 ) with each other over the backhaul links interfaces  134 . The backhaul links  132 ,  134  may be wired or wireless. 
     The BS  105  may wirelessly communicate with the UEs  110 . Each of the BS  105  may provide communication coverage for a respective geographic coverage area  130 . There may be overlapping geographic coverage areas  130 . For example, the small cell  105 ′ may have a coverage area  130 ′ that overlaps the coverage area  130  of one or more macro BS  105 . A network that includes both small cell and macro cells may be known as a heterogeneous network. A heterogeneous network may also include Home Evolved Node Bs (eNBs) (HeNBs), which may provide service to a restricted group known as a closed subscriber group (CSG). The communication links  120  between the BS  105  and the UEs  110  may include uplink (UL) (also referred to as reverse link) transmissions from a UE  110  to a BS  105  and/or downlink (DL) (also referred to as forward link) transmissions from a BS  105  to a UE  110 . The communication links  120  may use multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, and/or transmit diversity. The communication links may be through one or more carriers. The BS  105 /UEs  110  may use spectrum up to Y MHz (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 100, 400, etc. MHz) bandwidth per carrier allocated in a carrier aggregation of up to a total of Y x  MHz (x component carriers) used for transmission in each direction. The carriers may or may not be adjacent to each other. Allocation of carriers may be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL (e.g., more or less carriers may be allocated for DL than for UL). The component carriers may include a primary component carrier and one or more secondary component carriers. A primary component carrier may be referred to as a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary component carrier may be referred to as a secondary cell (SCell). 
     Certain UEs  110  may communicate with each other using device-to-device (D2D) communication link  158 . The D2D communication link  158  may use the DL/UL WWAN spectrum. The D2D communication link  158  may use one or more sidelink channels, such as a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH), a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). D2D communication may be through a variety of wireless D2D communications systems, such as for example, FlashLinQ, WiMedia, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard, LTE, or NR. 
     The wireless communications system may further include a Wi-Fi access point (AP)  150  in communication with Wi-Fi stations (STAs)  152  via communication links  154  in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum. When communicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the STAs  152 /AP  150  may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating in order to determine whether the channel is available. 
     The small cell  105 ′ may operate in a licensed and/or an unlicensed frequency spectrum. When operating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the small cell  105 ′ may employ NR and use the same 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum as used by the Wi-Fi AP  150 . The small cell  105 ′, employing NR in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, may boost coverage to and/or increase capacity of the access network. 
     A BS  105 , whether a small cell  105 ′ or a large cell (e.g., macro base station), may include an eNB, gNodeB (gNB), or other type of base station. Some base stations, such as gNB  180  may operate in one or more frequency bands within the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdivided, based on frequency/wavelength, into various classes, bands, channels, etc. In 5G NR two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz-7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz-52.6 GHz). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” (mmW) band in documents and articles, 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. 
     With the above aspects in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, or may be within the EHF band. Communications using the mmW/near mmW radio frequency band has extremely high path loss and a short range. The mmW base station  180  may utilize beamforming  182  with the UE  110  to compensate for the path loss and short range. 
     The EPC  160  may include a Mobility Management Entity (MME)  162 , other MMES  164 , a Serving Gateway  166 , a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) Gateway  168 , a Broadcast Multicast Service Center (BM-SC)  170 , and a Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway  172 . The MME  162  may be in communication with a Home Subscriber Server (HSS)  174 . The MME  162  is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs  110  and the EPC  160 . Generally, the MME  162  provides bearer and connection management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferred through the Serving Gateway  166 , which itself is connected to the PDN Gateway  172 . The PDN Gateway  172  provides UE IP address allocation as well as other functions. The PDN Gateway  172  and the BM-SC  170  are connected to the IP Services  176 . The IP Services  176  may include the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a packet switched (PS) Streaming Service, and/or other IP services. The BM-SC  170  may provide functions for MBMS user service provisioning and delivery. The BM-SC  170  may serve as an entry point for content provider MBMS transmission, may be used to authorize and initiate MBMS Bearer Services within a public land mobile network (PLMN), and may be used to schedule MBMS transmissions. The MBMS Gateway  168  may be used to distribute MBMS traffic to the BS  105  belonging to a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) area broadcasting a particular service, and may be responsible for session management (start/stop) and for collecting eMBMS related charging information. 
     The 5GC  190  may include a Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)  192 , other AMFs  193 , a Session Management Function (SMF)  194 , and a User Plane Function (UPF)  195 . The AMF  192  may be in communication with a Unified Data Management (UDM)  196 . The AMF  192  is the control node that processes the signaling between the UEs  110  and the 5GC  190 . Generally, the AMF  192  provides QoS flow and session management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferred through the UPF  195 . The UPF  195  provides UE IP address allocation as well as other functions. The UPF  195  is connected to the IP Services  197 . The IP Services  197  may include the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a PS Streaming Service, and/or other IP services. 
     The BS  105  may also be referred to as a gNB, Node B, evolved Node B (eNB), an access point, a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, an access node, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, eNodeB (eNB), gNB, Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, a relay, a transceiver function, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a transmit reception point (TRP), or some other suitable terminology. The BS  105  provides an access point to the EPC  160  or 5GC  190  for a UE  110 . Examples of UEs  110  include a cellular phone, a smart phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a satellite radio, a global positioning system, a multimedia device, a video device, a digital audio player (e.g., MP3 player), a camera, a game console, a tablet, a smart device, a wearable device, a vehicle, an electric meter, a gas pump, a large or small kitchen appliance, a healthcare device, an implant, a sensor/actuator, a display, or any other similar functioning device. Some of the UEs  110  may be referred to as IoT devices (e.g., parking meter, gas pump, toaster, vehicles, heart monitor, etc.).

In one implementation, the UE  110  may include a communication component  222  configured to communicate with the BS  105  via a cellular network, a Wi-Fi network, or other wireless and wired networks. The UE  110  may include an estimation component  224  configured to estimate or predict an interference power profile cause by the transmission of a neighboring BS. The UE  110  may include a decoding component  226  configured to decode data and/or control information based on the interference power profile. 
     In some implementations, the UE  110  may include a variety of components, including components such as one or more processors  212  and memory  216  and transceiver  202  in communication via one or more buses  244 , which may operate in conjunction with the modem  220  and the communication component  222  to enable one or more of the functions described herein related to communicating with the BS  105 . Further, the one or more processors  212 , modem  220 , memory  216 , transceiver  202 , RF front end  288  and one or more antennas  265 , may be configured to support voice and/or data calls (simultaneously or non-simultaneously) in one or more radio access technologies. The one or more antennas  265  may include one or more antennas, antenna elements and/or antenna arrays. 
     In an aspect, the one or more processors  212  may include the modem  220  that uses one or more modem processors. The various functions related to the communication component  222 , the estimation component  224 , and/or the decoding component  226  may be included in the modem  220  and/or processors  212  and, in an aspect, may be executed by a single processor, while in other aspects, different ones of the functions may be executed by a combination of two or more different processors. For example, in an aspect, the one or more processors  212  may include any one or any combination of a modem processor, or a baseband processor, or a digital signal processor, or a transmit processor, or a receiving device processor, or a transceiver processor associated with transceiver  202 . Additionally, the modem  220  may configure the UE  110  along with the processors  212 . In other aspects, some of the features of the one or more processors  212  and/or the modem  220  associated with the communication component  222  may be performed by transceiver  202 . 
     The memory  216  may be configured to store data used and/or local versions of application  275 . Also, the memory  216  may be configured to store data used herein and/or local versions of the communication component  222 , the estimation component  224 , and/or the decoding component  226 , and/or one or more of the subcomponents being executed by at least one processor  212 . Memory  216  may include any type of computer-readable medium usable by a computer or at least one processor  212 , such as random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), tapes, magnetic discs, optical discs, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and any combination thereof.

       FIG.  4    illustrates an example of an environment for estimating or predicting inter-cell interference. In some aspects, the first BS  105   a  may be the serving cell of the UE  110 . The UE  110  may be within the first coverage area  130   a  of the first BS  105   a . Although the UE  110  may not be serviced by the second BS  105   b  and the third BS  105   c , the UE  110  may be near (e.g., within 10 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, etc.) the second coverage area  130   b  of the second BS  105   b  and/or the third coverage area  130   c  of the third BS  105   c . The UE  110  may receive DL information from the first BS  105   a  (i.e., the serving BS) while receiving interference from the second BS  105   b  and/or the third BS  105   c . For example, the UE  110  may receive DL information from the first BS  105   a  while the second BS  105   b  is transmitting two DL mini-slots and the third BS  105   c  is transmitting DL information and receiving UL information. The UE  110  may experience interferences from both the second BS  105   b  and the third BS  105   c.    
     In some aspects of the present disclosure, the first BS  105   a  (i.e., the serving BS) may communicate with the second BS  105   b  and/or the third BS  105   c  (e.g., inter-BS coordination via backhaul) to obtain information associated with the interferences the second BS  105   b  and/or the third BS  105   c  may cause to the UE  110 . For example, the second BS  105   b  and/or the third BS  105   c  may transmit information relating to scheduling granularity (e.g., mini-slot-level (with different sizes), slot-level, 2 slots, etc.), subcarrier spacing, and/or type of scheduler (e.g., proportional fair, round robin, etc.) to the first BS  105   a . Such information may affect the temporal correlation of the interference. For example, when the neighboring BSs (such as the second BS  105   b  and/or the third BS  105   c ) utilizes mini-slots with 4 symbols, the interference variations may increase as compared to utilizing the mini-slots with 1 symbol. In another example, when the neighboring BSs utilize higher subcarrier spacings, the interference variations may increase due to smaller symbol durations.

The first BS  105   a  may transmit the interference information to UEs near the edge of the first coverage area  130   a  and not to UEs away from the edge of the first coverage area  130   a . In an aspect, the first BS  105   a  may transmit the interference information to UEs within a threshold distance (e.g., 10 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, etc.) from the edge of the first coverage area  130   a.    
     In certain aspects of the present disclosure, the first BS  105   a  may broadcast the interference information to the UEs within the cell served by the first BS  105   a.    
     In other aspects of the present disclosure, the first BS  105   a  may receive UE capability reports from the UEs within the cell served by the first BS  105   a . The UE capability reports may indicate whether the UE has machine learning receiver capability. Based on the capability reports, the first BS  105   a  may transmit the interference information to the UEs having the machine learning receiver capability. The first BS  105   a  may transmit the interference information via a radio resource control (RRC) signal, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and/or downlink control information (DCI). 
     In some aspects of the present disclosure, the UE  110  may transmit a request for the interference information to the first BS  105   a . The request may be frequency range specific, carrier specific, and/or bandwidth part (BWP) specific. In response, the first BS  105   a  may transmit the interference information to the UE  110 . The first BS  105   a  may transmit the interference information to the UE  110  via a RRC signal, a MAC CE, and/or DCI. 
     In some aspects of the present disclosure, one or more of the neighboring BSs (i.e., the second BS  105   b  and/or the third BS  105   c ) may transmit the interference information to the UE  110 . 
     In certain aspects of the present disclosure, the UE  110  may estimate or predict an interference power profile (for example, using the machine learning approach) based on the interference information associated with the interference caused by the second BS  105   b  and/or the third BS  105   c . The interference power profile may include the interference power values across various frequency subbands and/or different times (slots and/or symbols). The first BS  105   a  may transmit DL information (data and/or control) to the UE  110 . The UE  110  may decode and/or demodulate the DL information based on the interference power profile.
