Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for beam footprint handover in wireless communication. The method involves a terminal receiving a signaling message instructing it to switch from one coverage area (beam footprint) to another. The terminal then performs the handover by switching the downlink beamforming signals from the first beam footprint to the second beam footprint. Both beam footprints belong to the same cell, and the downlink signals are transmitted using the respective beams.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure provides a method for beam footprint handover, a method for receiving information, a method for transmitting information, a terminal and a base station. The method for beam footprint handover performed by a terminal comprises the following steps: receiving a first signaling, wherein the first signaling is used for instructing the terminal to hand over from a first beam footprint to a second beam footprint; handing over from the first beam footprint to the second beam footprint in response to the first signaling; wherein a beam footprint is a coverage range of the downlink beamforming signals, the first beam footprint and the second beam footprint belong to a same cell, and downlink signals in the first beam footprint are transmitted with the first beam, while downlink signals in the second beam footprint are transmitted with the second beam.
