    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for conveying remote interference management information via a reference signal. For example, an interference management method may include receiving, at a first device, an interference signal from a second device. At the first device, a reference signal is generated, including mitigation information for remote interference management. The first device may transmit the reference signal to the second device. The method may further include receiving, at the first device, a mitigation response signal indicative of a level of mitigation undertaken by the second device based on the mitigation information that the first device transmitted.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for use in a wireless network for random access channel (RACH) resource coordination. Some embodiments are directed to an apparatus in an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) network. The apparatus includes processor circuitry and radio front circuitry. The radio front end circuitry can be configured to receive random access channel (RACH) resource configuration for communicating with a parent node and a child node. The processor circuitry can be configured to determine, based on the RACH resource configuration, a first RACH resource for communicating, in a half-duplex mode, with the parent node. The processor circuitry can be further configured to determine, based on the RACH resource configuration, a second RACH resource for communicating, in the half-duplex mode, with the child node, where the second RACH resource is orthogonal to the first RACH resource.

    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods of configuring received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements to determine crosslink interferences (CLI). For instance, a user equipment (UE) can receive, using radio front-end circuitry, a RSSI resource configuration for CLI measurement from a base station in a 5G network. The UE can then measure a RSSI of one or more received signals based at least in part on the RSSI resource configuration. The UE can then perform one or more CLI measurements based at least in part on the measured RSSI. The RSSI resource configuration includes an identifier information element (IE), one or more slot-level indication IEs, one or more symbol-level indication IEs, one or more physical resource block (PRB)-level indication IEs, one or more resource element (RE) pattern indication IEs, and one or more receive beam indication IEs.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments verifying legitimate victim-aggressor pairs in remote interference management operation. In an embodiment, a first even report is generated by a victim base station based detection of an atmospheric duct and it transmits a victim reference signal with the first event report. The first event report includes an ID of the victim base station. An aggressor base station is triggered to begin monitoring for transmission of the victim reference signal. The aggressor base station sends a second event report if it detects the victim reference signal. The central entity tries to verify that the victim and aggressor are legitimate. If the verification passes, then the central entity sends a message to the aggressor to start of remote interference mitigation. If verification fails, the remote interference mitigation is not triggered and the victim reference signal is ignored.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for measuring and/or reporting UE-to-UE crosslink interference (CLI). In some embodiments, a communication network may use transmission reception points (TRPs) to facilitate communications for user equipment (UE). A first TRP may command a first UE to transmit a crosslink interference reference signal (CLI-RS) according to a particular time behavior. A second TRP may command a second UE to measure UE-to-UE CLI using the CLI-RS and the time behavior. The second UE may then report the measured CLI indicating a level of interference caused by the first UE.
