Description

SENSING INTERFERENCE REPORTS

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for transmitting and/or receiving sensing interference reports.

BACKGROUND

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, and/or the like) . Examples of such multiple-access technologies 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, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE) . LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) .

A wireless network may include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs) . A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station (BS) via the downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP) , a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP) , a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, and/or the like.

The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. New Radio (NR) , which may also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) . NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL) , using CP-OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) ) on the uplink (UL) , as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.

Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, and/or the like (collectively referred to as “elements” ) . These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) , aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G) .

Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network, an LTE network, and/or the like. The wireless network 100 may include a number of base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, a Node B, a gNB, a 5G node B (NB) , an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP) , and/or the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and/or a BS subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG) ) . A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In the example shown in Fig. 1, a BS 110a may be a macro BS for a macro cell 102a, a BS 110b may be a pico BS for a pico cell 102b, and a BS 110c may be a femto BS for a femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB” , “base station” , “NR BS” , “gNB” , “TRP” , “AP” , “node B” , “5G NB” , and “cell” may be used interchangeably herein.

In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces such as a direct physical connection, a virtual network, and/or the like using any suitable transport network.

Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS) . A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown in Fig. 1, a relay BS 110d may communicate with macro BS 110a and a UE 120d in order to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS may also be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay, and/or the like.

Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, and/or the like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts) .

A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul.

UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be dispersed throughout wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, and/or the like. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone) , a personal digital assistant (PDA) , a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet) ) , an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio) , a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, and/or the like, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device) , or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) . UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components, memory components, and/or the like. In some aspects, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, electrically coupled, and/or the like.

In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, and/or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, and/or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another) . For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, and/or the like) , a mesh network, and/or the like. In this case, the UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

Devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided based on frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, and/or the like. For example, devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using an operating band having a first frequency range (FR1) , which may span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and/or may communicate using an operating band having a second frequency range (FR2) , which may span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is often referred to as a “millimeter wave” band 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. Thus, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz) . Similarly, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz) . It is contemplated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

As indicated above, Fig. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 in communication with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a through 252r, where in general T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

At base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from a data source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS (s) selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI) and/or the like) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, and/or the like) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) , a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) , and/or the like) and synchronization signals (e.g., the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS) ) . A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a through 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM and/or the like) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232a through 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a through 234t, respectively.

At UE 120, antennas 252a through 252r may receive the downlink signals from base station 110 and/or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a through 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM and/or the like) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a through 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term "controller/processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP) , received signal strength indicator (RSSI) , reference signal received quality (RSRQ) , channel quality indicator (CQI) , and/or the like. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller/processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, and/or the like) from controller/processor 280. Transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, and/or the like) , and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna (s) 252, modulators and/or demodulators 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and/or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to Figs. 4-7.

At base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs may be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators 232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller/processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate to network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule UEs 120 for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some aspects, the base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna (s) 234, modulators and/or demodulators 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and/or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein, for example, as described with reference to Figs. 4-7.

Controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280 of UE 120, and/or any other component (s) of Fig. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with transmitting and/or receiving sensing interference reports, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280 of UE 120, and/or any other component (s) of Fig. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 600 of Fig. 6, process 700 of Fig. 7, and/or other processes as described herein.

Memories

242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and/or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code, program code, and/or the like) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, interpreting, and/or the like) by one or more processors of the base station 110 and/or the UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and/or the base station 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, process 600 of Fig. 6, process 700 of Fig. 7, and/or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, interpreting the instructions, and/or the like.

In some aspects, UE 120 may include means for receiving one or more reference signals associated with a sensing signal, means for transmitting a sensing interference report that indicates one or more parameters for reducing interference for the sensing signal, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of UE 120 described in connection with Fig. 2, such as controller/processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and/or the like.

In some aspects, base station 110 may include means for transmitting one or more reference signals associated with a sensing signal, means for receiving a sensing interference report that indicates one or more parameters for reducing interference for the sensing signal, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of base station 110 described in connection with Fig. 2, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, and/or the like.

While blocks in Fig. 2 are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of controller/processor 280.

As indicated above, Fig. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 2.

Some wireless networks may use nodes, such as base stations, to jointly perform sensing services and communication services (e.g., joint SensComm services) . The sensing services may include object detection that may be used, for example, to improve the communication services or to improve other services. For example, a UE that receives a sensing signal may use the sensing signal to detect objects for services such as assisted driving and/or steering of a vehicle (e.g., to avoid collisions) .

Jointly performing sensing services and communication services may support a synergistic design of communications systems and sensing systems (e.g., radio detection and ranging (radar) , object detection, and/or the like) that may use a common spectrum and/or common components. However, sensing signals and communication signals may have different characteristics, which may cause difficulty for managing interference between the sensing signals and the communication signals. For example, communication signals may use OFDM waveforms and sensing signals may use impulsive signals, frequency-modulated continuous waveforms (FMCW) , phase-modulated continuous waveforms (PMCW) , and/or the like.

Differences in characteristics of sensing services and communication services may cause difficulty for managing interference between the sensing signals and the communication signals and/or to maintain integrity of the sensing service and/or the communication service. For example, precoding for a communication signal may be adjusted slot-by-slot to improve a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) . Sensing services may be improved by maintaining a constant precoding for transmissions of sensing signals over multiple slots. For example, maintaining a constant precoding for multiple slots may improve resolution of object detection. In some examples, only signals having a same precoding may be coherently used for Doppler estimation, and coherent Doppler estimation may require sensing signals transmitted for a duration that is longer than a slot of the communication signals.

Using time division multiplexing (TDM) and/or frequency division multiplexing (FDM) to transmit the communication signals and the sensing signals may reduce interference between the communication signals and the sensing signals. However, using TDM may lower Doppler resolution of the one or more sensing signals and may cause scheduling restrictions for the one or more communication signals (e.g., to avoid simultaneous transmissions) . Similarly, using FDM may cause scheduling restrictions for the one or more communication signals (e.g., to avoid using same or related frequencies) and/or may degrade range resolution of the one or more sensing signals.

Although using space division duplexing (SDM) may cause difficulty for managing interference between the sensing signals and the communication signals and/or to maintain integrity of the sensing service and/or the communication service, using SDM may allow a transmitting node to be spatially selective, to transmit the one or more communication signals and the one or more sensing signals using different beams to reduce interference without lowering Doppler resolution of the one or more sensing signals, degrading range resolution, and/or introducing scheduling restrictions as described when using FDM or SDM.

Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of SDM sensing signals and communication signals, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 3, a base station may transmit signals for reception by a first UE, a second UE, and/or the like. The base station, the first UE, and the second UE may be part of a wireless network.

As shown by reference number 305, the base station may transmit one or more sensing signals for reception by the first UE. The sensing signal may be used to detect an object based at least in part on the one or more signals interacting with the object between transmission of the one or more signals by the base station and reception of the one or more signals by the first UE. For example, the object may cause reflection, refraction, a Doppler effect, and/or the like to the one or more signals.

As shown by reference number 310, the base station may transmit one or more communication signals to the second UE. For example, the base station may transmit one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communications, physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communications, reference signals, and/or the like.

As shown by reference number 315, the one or more sensing signals may cause interference with the one or more communication signals and/or the one or more communication signals may cause interference with the one or more sensing signals.

As indicated above, Fig. 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 3.

As described above, a node (e.g., a base station) that jointly performs sensing services and communication services using SDM may provide advantages over TDM and FDM, such as improved Doppler resolution, range resolution, and scheduling. However, a node using SDM may have difficulty managing interference between sensing signals and communication signals based at least in part on, for example, different characteristics of the sensing signals and the communication signals.

As described herein, a UE that uses a sensing service (e.g., a sensing UE) , based at least in part on sensing signals from a base station, may provide a report that indicates how interference from a communication signal may be reduced and/or avoided. For example, the UE may be configured with a measurement resource (e.g., a sensing measurement resource (SMR) ) that is associated with a sensing beam (e.g., an active or already determined sensing beam) . Additionally and/or alternatively, the UE may be configured with an interference measurement resource (e.g., a sensing interference measurement resource (SIMR) ) that is associated with a communication signal (e.g., a non-precoded communication signal) . In some aspects, the UE may use the sensing interference resource to measure one or more reference signals as an interference reference and/or may use the sensing resource to measure one or more reference signals associated with a sensing signal. The UE may use the measurements to generate an interference report for transmission to the base station.

The interference report may include one or more indications of how the base station may reduce and/or avoid interference from the communication signal. For example, the interference report may indicate a modulation order, a request for spatial parameters and/or power parameters for preferred spatial interference directions (e.g., associated with the communication signal) and/or spatial interference directions to be avoided.

Based at least in part on the UE transmitting a report based at least in part on reference signals associated with a sensing signal, the base station may have information to select one or more parameters for transmitting a communication signal to reduce interference, from the communication signal, for the sensing signal. This may allow the base station to use SDM for sensing services and communication services with improved Doppler resolution, range resolution, and scheduling when compared to FDM or TDM.

For example, the UE may use the SIMR as an interference reference signal (e.g., to define the interference reference signal) and/or may use the SMR as a sensing reference signal (e.g., to define the sensing reference signal) .

In some aspects, the sensing interference report may indicate to avoid one or more spatial directions of a communication signal that may cause interference with the sensing signal, a preferred spatial direction for the communication signal, one or more power parameters to use for the communication signal, a modulation order to use for the communication signal, and/or the like. In some aspects, the sensing interference report may provide the indications using one or more precoders in a predetermined and/or configured codebook or identification of a set of beams (e.g., based at least in part on a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) , a beam index (e.g., an SSB index, a CSI resource indicator (CRI) , and/or the like) , and/or the like) . For example, the sensing interference report may provide an indication of a most preferred spatial interference direction, an indication of a least preferred spatial interference direction (e.g., associated with a communication signal) , an indication that all spatial interference directions (e.g., identified in the SIMR) are acceptable, an indication that none of the spatial interference directions are acceptable, and/or the like.

In some aspects, the UE may be configured (e.g., via configuration information, the SMR, the SIMR, and/or the like) to indicate only one of the most preferred spatial interference direction or the least preferred spatial interference direction. In some aspects, the UE may be configured to indicate both of the most preferred spatial interference direction and the least preferred spatial interference direction. The UE be configured to indicate which spatial interference direction is most preferred and which is least preferred based at least in part on formatting of the indication (e.g., locations or orders within the indication of identifications associated with the most preferred spatial interference direction and the least preferred spatial interference direction) , one or more explicit indications of which spatial interference direction is most preferred and which is least preferred, and/or the like. In some aspects, the UE may be configured to indicate that all spatial interference directions are acceptable or unacceptable based at least in part on indicating all spatial interference directions or no spatial interference directions (e.g., using a PMI, a beam index, and/or the like) .

In some aspects, the sensing interference report may indicate a PMI that is based at least in part on at least one restricted rank index, explicit CSI feedback, and/or the like.

In some aspects, the explicit CSI feedback may include CSI (e.g., between the base station and the UE) that is based at least in part on the SMR, CSI that is based at least in part on the SIMR, and/or the like.

As shown by reference number 430, the UE may transmit, and the base station may receive, the sensing interference report. In some aspects the UE may transmit the sensing interference report using one or more of a MAC CE, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) message, a CSI report, an enhanced CSI report, and/or the like.

For example, the base station may transmit the communication signals, to an additional UE, based at least in part on the one or more parameters for reducing interference for the sensing signal, as indicated in the sensing interference report.

Based at least in part on the UE transmitting the sensing interference report, the base station may have information to select one or more parameters for transmitting a communication signal to reduce interference, from the communication signal, for the sensing signal, which may allow the base station to use SDM for sensing services and communication services with improved Doppler resolution, range resolution, and scheduling when compared to FDM or TDM. In some aspects, the improved scheduling may conserve network resources that may otherwise have been wasted to avoid conflicting frequencies and/or transmission times (e.g., symbols, slots, and/or the like) between sensing signals and communication signals.
