TIME OFFSET FOR IMPLICIT BEAM SWITCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187074 titled 'TIME OFFSET FOR IMPLICIT BEAM SWITCH
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a user equipment (UE) can transmit a beam report to a base station indicating a switch to a beam for a physical uplink channel. The UE then switches to the beam after a specified time offset following the beam report transmission, receiving a beam switch response, or a scheduled communication on the physical uplink channel.
- User equipment (UE) can transmit a beam report to a base station for switching to a beam for a physical uplink channel.
- The UE switches to the beam after a specified time offset following the beam report transmission, receiving a beam switch response, or a scheduled communication on the physical uplink channel.
