Abstract
A beam tracking method and a terminal including the same. The terminal may measure power of a signal received from a base station and determine whether there is a behavior change of the terminal. Further, the terminal may determine whether the signal is blocked using the measured power and the behavior change of the terminal and perform the beam tracking through a secondary beam if it is determined that the signal is blocked.
Claims15
A method for performing, by a terminal, beam tracking, comprising:
- measuring power of a signal received from a base station;
- determining whether there is a behavior change of the terminal;
- determining whether the signal is blocked using the power and the behavior change of the terminal;
- and
- performing beam tracking through a secondary beam if it is determined that the signal is blocked in the determining whether the signal is blocked.
A terminal performing communication with a base station, comprising:
- a received power measurement unit measuring power of a signal received from the base station;
- a motion sensor unit sensing a behavior change of the terminal;
- a situation determination unit determining whether the signal is blocked using the power and the behavior change of the terminal;
- and
- a beam tracking control unit performing beam tracking through a secondary beam if the situation determination unit determines that the signal is blocked.
A method for performing, by a terminal, beam tracking, comprising:
- performing initial beam tracking at the time of a connection to a base station;
- measuring power of a signal received from the base station;
- comparing the power with a threshold value;
- determining whether there is a behavior change of the terminal;
- and
- performing the beam tracking through a secondary beam if the power is smaller than the threshold value, there is no behavior change of the terminal, and there is the secondary beam at the time of the initial beam tracking.
