Summary of Agreements by Topic
9.3.1 Evaluation on NR Duplex Evolution
- Semi-Static SBFD Evaluation Results:
- Detailed evaluation results for all sub-cases moved to
Annex section of TR38.858.
- Summary of observations retained in the body of the TR
for each deployment case and scenario.
- Sub-cases with no less than 3 sources (Case 1) or 2
sources (Cases 3-2 and 4) prioritized for conclusions.
- Observations include performance impacts of antenna
configurations, BS TX power, and BS noise figure models.
- Coverage Performance for UL:
- Semi-static SBFD with PUSCH repetition type A provides UL
coverage gain of 5.41dB (FR1) and 6.92dB (FR2-1).
- Semi-static SBFD with TBoMS provides UL coverage gain of
5.09dB (FR1) and 5.72dB (FR2-1).
- BS Noise Figure Model:
- Piece-wise linear model based on total received power (P)
agreed for FR1 and FR2-1 scenarios.
- Fixed noise figure values recommended for evaluation: 5dB
(FR1) and 10dB (FR2-1).
- CLI Handling for SBFD:
- gNB-to-gNB and UE-to-UE co-channel CLI handling schemes
studied, including coordinated scheduling and spatial domain
coordination.
- Specification impacts identified for CLI handling
schemes.
- Dynamic SBFD:
- Dynamic SBFD can adapt better to UL/DL traffic loads but
may increase complexity and require additional specification efforts.
- Options for dynamic SBFD include scheduling DCI,
non-scheduling DCI, or MAC-CE for symbol indication.
9.3.2 Subband Non-Overlapping Full Duplex
- SBFD Operation:
- SBFD operation Alt 4 deemed feasible for RRC_CONNECTED
state, with specification impacts identified for SBFD-aware UEs.
- SBFD-aware UEs coexist with non-SBFD-aware UEs, including
legacy UEs.
- Random Access in SBFD Symbols:
- Random access in SBFD symbols may reduce latency and
collision probability but could introduce UE-to-UE CLI.
- Specification impacts expected for PRACH and Msg3
transmissions in SBFD symbols.
- Dynamic SBFD:
- Dynamic SBFD may increase complexity and require
additional specification impacts.
- Options for dynamic SBFD include scheduling DCI,
non-scheduling DCI, or MAC-CE.
- CLI Measurement:
- CLI measurement methods studied for inter-UE
inter-subband CLI, including RSRP/RSSI measurements within UL subband.
- Resource Allocation:
- For PRG overlapping subband boundaries, partial PRG usage
improves scheduling flexibility but may degrade channel estimation
quality.
9.3.33 Potential Enhancements on Dynamic/Flexible TDD
- CLI Handling Schemes:
- gNB-to-gNB co-channel CLI handling schemes studied,
including UL resource muting, spatial domain coordination, and power
control.
- Specification impacts identified for CLI handling
schemes.
- UE-to-UE CLI Measurement:
- L1/L2 based CLI measurement optimized for short-term
interference measurement and low latency.
- Specification impacts identified for
periodic/semi-persistent/aperiodic measurement resources and reporting.
- Performance Observations:
- Knowledge among gNBs of semi-static SBFD time and
frequency configuration can be beneficial depending on implementation.
- UL resource muting can reduce interference during CLI
measurement but may incur UL performance loss.
- Dynamic TDD:
- Dynamic TDD enhancements studied, including coordinated
scheduling and spatial domain coordination.
- Specification impacts identified for CLI handling
schemes.
General Observations
- Performance Evaluation Results:
- Median values used to summarize observations for DL/UL
Average-UPT gains/losses.
- Reasons for gains/losses and number of sources included
in conclusions.
- Specification Impacts:
- Specification impacts identified for SBFD-aware UE
behaviors, CLI handling schemes, and dynamic/flexible TDD enhancements.
- Simulation Results:
- Results captured in TR38.858 for semi-static SBFD,
dynamic SBFD, and dynamic TDD, including CLI handling schemes.
- Final TR Submission:
- TR38.858 updated to reflect all RAN1 agreements, with
final checks by companies before submission.
