Abstract
A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes identifying a radiation pattern of each beam in a set of beams to be used for communicating with a base station (BS), identifying a database including a beam index of each beam in the set of beams, identifying a beam sweeping sequence based on at least one of the database, the radiation pattern of each beam, or a UE-specific condition, and sweeping each beam in the set of beams based on the beam sweeping sequence to radiate signal power of each beam through a transceiver.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- identify a radiation pattern of each beam in a set of beams to be used for communicating with a base station (BS);
- identify a database including a beam index of each beam in the set of beams;
- identify a beam sweeping sequence based on at least one of the database, the radiation pattern of each beam, or a UE-specific condition and based on a target performance metric or;
- and
- sweep each beam in the set of beams based on the beam sweeping sequence to radiate signal power of each beam through a transceiver that is operably connected to the at least one processor.
A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- identifying a radiation pattern of each beam in a set of beams to be used for communicating with a base station (BS);
- identifying a database including a beam index of each beam in the set of beams;
- identifying a beam sweeping sequence based on at least one of the database, the radiation pattern of each beam, or a UE-specific condition and based on a target performance metric;
- and
- sweeping each beam in the set of beams based on the beam sweeping sequence to radiate signal power of each beam through a transceiver.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when executed by at least one processor of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- identify a radiation pattern of each beam in a set of beams to be used for communicating with a base station (BS);
- identify a database including a beam index of each beam in the set of beams;
- identify a beam sweeping sequence based on at least one of the database, the radiation pattern of each beam, or a UE-specific condition and based on a target performance metric;
- and
- sweep each beam in the set of beams based on the beam sweeping sequence to radiate signal power of each beam through a transceiver.
