SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEAMFORMED UPLINK TRANSMISSION

Abstract: systems and methods described herein are provided for beamforming and uplink control and data transmission techniques. such techniques enable a ue to maintain at least one beam process for operation with multiple beams and/or points. a beam process may be indicated for transmission or reception over a downlink or uplink physical channel. power, timing, and channel state information may be specific to a beam process. a beam process may be established as part of a random access procedure in which resources may be provisioned in random access response messages. techniques are provided to handle beam process failures, to use beam processes for mobility, and to select beams using open-loop and closed-loop selection procedures.
