USER EQUIPMENT BEAM SELECTION AND REFINEMENT FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17880350 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT BEAM SELECTION AND REFINEMENT FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The patent application focuses on a user equipment (UE) obtaining per-beam, per-component carrier measurements for unique combinations of beams and component carriers supported by the UE. The UE then selects a first beam with the highest per-beam, per-component carrier measurement across all component carriers. Additionally, the UE determines a set of candidate beams based on these measurements, where the candidate beams have measurements within a defined value of the measurements corresponding to the first beam. The UE selects an active beam from the set of candidate beams based on either the average per-beam, per-component carrier measurement or the difference between the maximum and minimum per-beam, per-component carrier measurements of each candidate beam across all component carriers. Finally, the UE communicates with the network entity using the active beam.

  • User equipment (UE) obtains per-beam, per-component carrier measurements for unique combinations of beams and component carriers.
  • UE selects a first beam with the highest per-beam, per-component carrier measurement across all component carriers.
  • UE determines a set of candidate beams based on the measurements, where the candidate beams have measurements within a defined value of the measurements corresponding to the first beam.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain per-beam, per-component carrier measurements for unique combinations of beams and component carriers supported by the UE. The UE may select a first beam that has a highest per-beam, per-component carrier measurement across all component carriers. In addition, the UE may determine a set of candidate beams based on the measurements. For example, beams included in the set of candidate beams may have per-beam, per-component carrier measurements within some defined value of the measurements corresponding to the first beam. The UE may select an active beam from the set of candidate beams based on an average per-beam, per-component carrier measurement or a difference between maximum and minimum per-beam, per-component carrier measurements of each candidate beam across all component carriers. The UE may communicate with the network entity using the active beam.
