Disclosed UE receives CSI-RS/SSB reference signals in resources configured for HD-FDD operation; explicitly configures measurement occasions for HD slots. [0051] As shown by FIG. 1A, the system 100 includes reduced capacity user equipment (RedCap UE) 110. RedCap UE 110 may be a reduced capacity user equipment. As previously explained, RedCap UE 110 may communicate using half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD- FDD). RedCap UE 110 may be a smart device, a wearable device, smart watch, wearable medical device, an AV or VR goggle, an internet-of-things (IoT) device, a sensor, a video surveillance device, and/or other UE with reduced capabilities.

[0062] At 205, RedCap UE 110 may determine that a Synchronized Signal Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) Block Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) window includes a synchronized signal block (SSB ) measurement for one or more neighboring cells. The SMTC window may be a periodic window that notifies RedCap UE 110 of a measurement periodicity with SSB timing. [0064] At 220, if a MG is applied to the SSB related measurement, RedCap UE 110 may prioritize the MG over an uplink transmission ); and transmit, at least a threshold time period after the one or more reference resources, one or more channel state information reports based at least in part on the measurements of the one or more reference signals (See ¶[0091], [0102]-[0105], [0116], [0010], [0051], [0062]-[0076].

This combination yields measuring standard RS in resources configured for FD or HD operation. With regarding Claim 15, Cui and Choi disclose the UE of claim 14, wherein the reference resource comprises one or more downlink resources and is exclusive of uplink resources based at least in part on the reference resource being associated with the full-duplex channel state information computation (See [0051], [0100]-[0108], [0135]-[0136]. Disclosed configuration of full-duplex (e.g., SBFD) slots/resources where frequency bandwidth is partitioned into non-overlapping uplink and downlink sub-bands, separated by guard bands.) . Cui may not explicitly disclosed at least in part on the reference resource being associated with the full-duplex channel state information computation However, in analogous art, Choi at least in part on the reference resource being associated with the full-duplex channel state information computation (See ¶[0085], [0095]-[0099], [0110]. Disclosed UE performing channel/link quality estimation on subframe patterns explicitly tied to active FD/HD duplex modes.) . Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to combine Choi to modify Raghavan and Cui. Cui’s teaches UE measuring reference signals to obtain RSRP/SINR/RSRQ metrics. Choi teaches UE performing channel/link quality estimation on subframe patterns explicitly tied to active FD/HD duplex modes. This combination yields measuring standard RS in resources configured for FD or HD operation. With regarding Claim 16, through of a different scope, the limitations of claim 16 are substantially similar or identical to those of claim 1, and is rejected under the same reasoning. With regarding Claim 17, through of a different scope, the limitations of claim 17 are substantially similar or identical to those of claim 2, and is rejected under the same reasoning. With regarding Claim 18, through of a different scope, the limitations of claim 18 are substantially similar or identical to those of claim 3, and is rejected under the same reasoning. With regarding Claim 19, through of a different scope, the limitations of claim 19 are substantially similar or identical to those of claim 4, and is rejected under the same reasoning. With regarding Claim 20, through of a different scope, the limitations of claim 20 are substantially similar or identical to those of claim 5, and is rejected under the same reasoning. Conclusion A shortened statutory period for reply to this action is set to expire THREE MONTHS from the mailing date of this action. An extension of time may be obtained under 37 CFR 1.136(a). However, in no event, will the statutory period for reply expire later than SIX MONTHS from the mailing date of the action.
