CLI-SRS

Cross-Link Interference Sounding Reference Signal

Measurement mechanism where a UE measures SRS transmitted by a neighboring UE to quantify cross-link interference.

Technical Explanation

In 3GPP Rel-16 dynamic TDD, a downlink-receiving UE can be configured to measure SRS-RSRP from a neighboring transmitting UE on specific resources. This directly measures UE-to-UE interference, enabling the gNodeB to dynamically coordinate slot assignments or beam directions.

Key Functions

  • Measures SRS-RSRP from interfering neighboring UEs directly
  • Enables precise gNodeB coordination to eliminate cross-link interference
  • Supports flexible DL/UL switching in dense local indoor networks
