TECHNIQUES FOR OVER-THE-AIR BEAMFORMING CODEBOOK GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18062688 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR OVER-THE-AIR BEAMFORMING CODEBOOK GENERATION
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive a control message indicating a reference signal configuration for beam calibration by the UE based on a beamforming characterization status. The UE may receive a set of beam calibration reference signals based on the reference signal configuration. The UE may measure the set of beam calibration reference signals and generate a set of beamforming weights for use in communications by the UE based on the measuring and the beamforming characterization status. In some cases, the UE may transmit or forward a beamforming codebook based on the beamforming weights to a network entity. The network entity or the UE may forward the beamforming codebook to other UEs of a same design class as the UE.
