BEAM UPDATES DURING A SECONDARY CELL GROUP (SCG) DORMANCY PERIOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18001844 Titled 'BEAM UPDATES DURING A SECONDARY CELL GROUP (SCG) DORMANCY PERIOD'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method of wireless communication for a user equipment (UE). The method involves entering a dormancy period for a secondary cell group (SCG) of a base station (BS), during which no downlink (DL) data or control transmissions are received from the SCG. The UE performs a channel state information (CSI) measurement on the SCG during the dormancy period to generate a measurement report. The UE then determines an uplink (UL) beam of a primary secondary cell (PSCELL) of the SCG and transmits the measurement report to the BS on the UL beam of the SCG. After transmitting the measurement report, the UE determines one or more DL beams for communicating on the SCG based on one or more rules and the measurement report. These rules ensure that the BS determines the same DL beams based on the measurement report.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of wireless communication for a user equipment (UE) includes entering a dormancy period for a secondary cell group (SCG) of a base station (BS) during which no downlink (DL) data or control transmissions are received from the SCG; performing a channel state information (CSI) measurement on the SCG during the dormancy period to generate a measurement report; determining an uplink (UL) beam of a primary secondary cell (PSCELL) of the SCG; transmitting the measurement report to the BS on the UL beam of the SCG; and determining, during the dormancy period and after transmitting the measurement report, one or more downlink (DL) beams for communicating on the SCG based on one or more rules and based on the measurement report, wherein the one or more rules result in the BS determining the same one or more DL beams based on the measurement report.
