TECHNIQUES FOR BEAM MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107352 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR BEAM MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a user equipment (UE) receives a first reference signal (RS) and identifies a set of UE beams based on signal strengths measured via at least one UE beam. The UE then transmits a report to a network node indicating a network node beam for communication, based on the signal strength of the first RS. The UE receives a second RS using the set of UE beams, identifies a second UE beam based on spectral efficiency, and communicates with the network node using the second UE beam.

  • User equipment (UE) receives and identifies beams based on signal strengths of reference signals.
  • UE transmits a report to a network node indicating a beam for communication.
  • UE communicates with the network node using the identified beam based on spectral efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted

various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. in some aspects, a user equipment (ue) may receive a first reference signal (rs). the ue may identify a set of ue beams based at least in part on signal strengths of the first rs as measured via at least one ue beam of the set of ue beams. the ue may transmit, based at least in part on the first rs, a report including an indication of a network node beam for communication with the ue, the indication based at least in part on a signal strength of the first rs using a first ue beam of the set of ue beams. the ue may receive a second rs using the set of ue beams. the ue may identify, based at least in part on the second rs, a second ue beam of the set of ue beams, identification based at least in part on a spectral efficiency associated with the second ue beam. the ue may communicate with the network node using the second ue beam. numerous other aspects are described.
