REMOTE INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

A method, base station (BS), user equipment (UE), apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication are provided. An aggressor BS may cause a remote interference condition for a victim BS, and the victim BS may transmit a reference signal to the aggressor BS to enable a remote interference management (RIM) operation to be performed. However, the aggressor BS may be unable to identify the victim BS based at least in part on the reference signal, and may fail to transmit a reference signal as a response. Further, when the aggressor BS does transmit a reference signal, the victim BS may be unable to identify the aggressor BS. This may reduce an effectiveness of RIM operations. In some aspects, BSs may transmit reciprocal reference signals including identification information to enable effective RIM operations.
