FREQUENCY DOMAIN RESOURCE ALLOCATION TECHNIQUES FOR FULL DUPLEX COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a downlink (DL) resource allocation feature in a wireless communication system, configured to address an issue that may arise in a sub-band full-duplex (SBFD) carrier (also sometimes called a flexible duplex carrier). For example, on an SBFD carrier, a slot may have a format where an uplink (UL) portion of the carrier is between two DL portions of the carrier. In a case where a scheduler operating in a New Radio (NR) network utilizes DL resource allocation of a particular type, it may arise that a portion of the DL allocation falls in the UL portion of the carrier. Accordingly, a scheduled entity may add the UL portion of the carrier to a set of resources that are indicated as not available for DL transmission. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
