Title:
NETWORK ASSISTED MMWAVE BEAM SYNCHRONIZATION AND ALIGNMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/118212
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe apparatuses and methods for network assisted mmWave beam synchronization and alignment. Various embodiments may include an evolved Node B (eNB). The eNB may include processing circuitry to estimate directional information of an mmWave frequency beam from the eNB in reference to a user equipment (UE) based on positional information of the UE obtained based on a connection between the eNB and the UE in a microwave frequency band. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
