Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BEAM SWITCHING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/063333
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to beam switching in a wireless communication network. A device in the wireless communication network determines a beam switch mode based on a first measurement on quality of a current beam serving a mobile terminal. The beam switch mode is associated with at least one candidate beam. Then, the device sends an indication of the beam switch mode to the mobile terminal to trigger the mobile terminal to perform a second measurement on a mobile reference signal associated with the at least one candidate beam. In response to receiving the second measurement from the mobile terminal, the device determines a target beam from the at least one candidate beam and the current beam based on the second measurement. In this way, the target beam may be determined in an efficient way.
