METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPOSITE BEAM OPERATION AND OVERHEAD REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18365857 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPOSITE BEAM OPERATION AND OVERHEAD REDUCTION
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves identifying child beams of a current composite beam and determining the order at which the child beams are measured based on their likelihood of being an optimal beam for serving as a narrow beam. A threshold is also determined to decide whether to measure additional child beams or select an already measured child beam as the optimal beam. The optimal beam is then selected based on the determined order and threshold.
- Identifying child beams of a composite beam
- Determining order of measuring child beams based on likelihood of being optimal

Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes identifying child beams of a current composite beam. The method also includes determining an order at which the child beams of the current composite beam are measured based on a likelihood that each child beam of the current composite beam is an optimal beam, among the child beams, to be a serving narrow beam. The method also includes determining a threshold for use in deciding whether to measure one or more additional child beams or select an already measured child beam when selecting the optimal beam. The method also includes selecting the optimal beam, among the child beams, to be the serving narrow beam based on the determined order and the determined threshold.
