    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: In NR networks with dynamic TDD operation, two types of cross-link interference (CLI) arise: UE-to-UE and TRP-to-TRP. UE-to-UE CLI measurement and reporting can assist the network in managing CLI. The problem is that, for a cell to be able to measure the CLI reference signal transmitted by UEs in another neighboring cell, the cell needs to know what CLI-RS transmission resources assigned to the UEs in the neighboring cells. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for the exchange of such information between cells. In some embodiments, for example, a gNB sends a request message to a neighboring gNB and the neighboring gNB sends back a response message that includes TDD DL/UL Configurations of its cells and a list of the resources assigned to its UEs for transmission of UE-to-UE CLI reference signal.

    Abstract: An approach is described for a method for a base station in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication or a new radio (NR) system that includes the following steps. The method includes determining base initial seeds and a time parameter. The method further includes generating actual initial seeds based on the base initial seeds and the time parameter; generating a Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequence based on one of the actual initial seeds; and generating a remote interference management reference signal (RIM-RS) sequence based on the PN sequence. The method further includes transmitting the RIM-RS sequence to a remote base station.

    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.
