A method for wireless communication at a base station, comprising: selecting a first slot format index, SFI, for communications with a first user equipment, UE, via a first carrier and a second SFI for communications with a second UE via a second carrier, wherein the first SFI and the second SFI are selected based at least in part on a compatibility for measuring, at one or more of the first UE or the second UE, interference between the first UE and the second UE; configuring a first slot format at the first UE with the first SFI and a second slot format at the second UE with the second SFI; and receiving a measurement report for one or more of the first UE or the second UE, the measurement report indicating one or more interference measurements according to the first SFI or the second SFI, wherein: a first symbol of each of the first SFI and the second SFI are configured to be downlink symbols with each of the first UE and the second UE receiving information from the base station during the first symbol; a second symbol of the first UE is configured for uplink transmissions from the first UE and the second UE is configured for downlink receptions during the second symbol; and the second UE is configured, by the base station, to measure interference from concurrent transmissions from the first UE and the base station during the second symbol relative to a baseline case of downlink reception from the base station alone during the first symbol. selecting a first slot format index, SFI, for communications with a first user equipment, UE, via a first carrier and a second SFI for communications with a second UE via a second carrier, wherein the first SFI and the second SFI are selected based at least in part on a compatibility for measuring, at one or more of the first UE or the second UE, interference between the first UE and the second UE; configuring a first slot format at the first UE with the first SFI and a second slot format at the second UE with the second SFI; and receiving a measurement report for one or more of the first UE or the second UE, the measurement report indicating one or more interference measurements according to the first SFI or the second SFI, wherein: a first symbol of each of the first SFI and the second SFI are configured to be downlink symbols with each of the first UE and the second UE receiving information from the base station during the first symbol; a second symbol of the first UE is configured for uplink transmissions from the first UE and the second UE is configured for downlink receptions during the second symbol; and the second UE is configured, by the base station, to measure interference from concurrent transmissions from the first UE and the base station during the second symbol relative to a baseline case of downlink reception from the base station alone during the first symbol. a first symbol of each of the first SFI and the second SFI are configured to be downlink symbols with each of the first UE and the second UE receiving information from the base station during the first symbol; a second symbol of the first UE is configured for uplink transmissions from the first UE and the second UE is configured for downlink receptions during the second symbol; and the second UE is configured, by the base station, to measure interference from concurrent transmissions from the first UE and the base station during the second symbol relative to a baseline case of downlink reception from the base station alone during the first symbol.
