Methods and apparatus to facilitate duplex mode per uplink control channel resource

Abstract:

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating duplex mode per uplink control channel resource are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a user equipment includes receiving a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource configuration from a base station, the PUCCH resource configuration indicating an uplink beam for transmitting an uplink transmission. The example method also includes identifying a downlink beam paired with the uplink beam for transmitting the uplink transmission, the paired downlink beam for full-duplex reception of a downlink transmission from the base station that overlaps in time with transmission of the uplink transmission. Additionally, the example method includes performing full-duplex communication with the base station by transmitting the uplink transmission using the uplink beam while receiving the downlink transmission using the paired downlink beam.
