Abstract
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes selecting a first beam for a first frequency band and selecting a second beam for a second frequency band. The method further includes receiving scheduling information (SI) for scheduling at least one of an uplink (UL) transmission from the UE and a downlink (DL) transmission to the UE. The SI includes frequency information identifying a frequency band. The method further includes selecting a beam from a set of beams including the first and second beams. The selection is based on the identified frequency band.
Claims23
A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- selecting a first beam for a first frequency band;
- selecting a second beam for a second frequency band;
- receiving scheduling information (SI) for scheduling at least one of an uplink (UL) transmission from the UE and a downlink (DL) transmission to the UE, the SI comprising frequency information identifying a frequency band;
- and
- selecting a beam from a set of beams including the first and second beams, wherein the selection is based on the identified frequency band.
A user equipment comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- a data storage system;
- and
- a data processing apparatus comprising a processor, wherein the data processing apparatus is coupled to the data storage system, the transmitter, and the receiver, and the data processing apparatus is configured to:
- select a first beam for a first frequency band;
- select a second beam for a second frequency band;
- receive scheduling information (SI) for scheduling at least one of an uplink (UL) transmission from the UE and a downlink (DL) transmission to the UE, the SI comprising frequency information identifying a frequency band;
- and
- select a beam from a set of beams including the first and second beams, wherein the selection is based on the identified frequency band.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program comprising computer code which, when run on processing circuitry of a user equipment (UE), causes the UE to:
- select a first beam for a first frequency band;
- select a second beam for a second frequency band;
- receive scheduling information (SI) for scheduling at least one of an uplink (UL) transmission from the UE and a downlink (DL) transmission to the UE, the SI comprising frequency information identifying a frequency band;
- and
- select a beam from a set of beams including the first and second beams, wherein the selection is based on the identified frequency band.
