Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED GROUP-BASED BEAM REPORTING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/092567
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Systems and methods for group-based beam reporting are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may determine first and second characteristics of first and second beams used by the network and that are received at the UE in a simultaneous fashion. The UE is configured to identify the first and second beams as a qualified beam pair upon analyzing a characteristic of first beam and a characteristic of second beam in relation to a threshold, and then send the network a beam reporting message identifying the first beam and the second beam as a qualified beam pair. The network may then use this beam pair to communicate with the UE. Relevant beam characteristics, threshold types, and related analyses are discussed. Uses of beam pair validity timers during which a reported qualified beam pair is valid are discussed. Updates to a qualified beam pair are discussed.
