IMPLICIT BEAM SWITCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187079 titled 'IMPLICIT BEAM SWITCH
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for wireless communication where a user equipment (UE) can switch beams without explicit indication, transmit channel state information (CSI) reports, and selectively switch to a selected beam based on the indication.
- User equipment (UE) can receive an indication allowing beam switching without explicit beam indication or activation.
- UE transmits a Channel State Information (CSI) report identifying a selected beam.
- UE can selectively switch to the selected beam based on the indication.
