    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for data channel mapping type and demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) configuration to enable a physical layer (L1) crosslink interference (CLI) measurement and reporting. Some embodiments are direct to a method of operating a base station (BS), where the method can include generating, by the BS, a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), determining, by the BS, a position of the DM-RS in a first transmission slot, transmitting, by the BS, the DM-RS to a UE based on the determined position in the first transmission slot, processing, by the BS, a crosslink interference (CLI) measurement fed back based on the DM-RS, wherein the CLI measurement fed back is in a channel state information (CSI) report, and performing, by the BS, a CLI mitigation based on the CLI measurement.

    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: Embodiments of a system and method for random access and scheduling request for new radio things sidelink are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a nUE (network user equipment) schedules a RA (random access) resource in a control channel. The nUE decodes a TAS (transmitter resource acquisition and sounding) payload, received from a wUE (wearable user equipment) in a PRB (physical resource block) addressed to a RA-ID (random access identifier) associated with the nUE. The nUE encodes, in response to decoding the TAS payload, a RAS (receiver resource acknowledgement and sounding) payload in the PRB. The nUE decodes initial access content received via a data channel from the wUE, the initial access content including a pro posed temp ID (temporary identifier) for addressing the wUE. The nUE encode, in response to the initial access content, an ACK (acknowledgement), addressed to the wUE, to accept initial access of the wUE.

    Abstract: Examples provide a mobile communication system, a mobile device, user equipment, a network node, a NodeB, circuits, apparatuses, methods, machine readable media and computer programs for mobile device, user equipment, network nodes, NodeBs. An apparatus (10) for a user equipment, UE (100), configured to communicate in a mobile communication system (400) comprises one or more interfaces (12) configured to communicate within the mobile communication system (400). The apparatus (10) comprises a control module (14) configured to control the one or more interfaces (12). Then control module (14) is configured to process reference signal configuration information received by the one or more interfaces (12). The reference signal configuration information comprises information on a reference signal radio configuration information resource, the reference signal radio resource specifying at least one reference signal from a group of two or more reference signals. The two or more reference signals differ in at least one element of the group of a time-frequency resource, a sequence, and a cyclic shift. The control module (14) is configured to enable measurements based on the at least one reference signal.
