Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for wireless communication, for example for reference signal measurements. An example method, performed by a user equipment, generally includes determining a duration for reference signal measurements of a network entity and beamforming one or more radio frequency chains in one or more directions for the reference signal measurements of the network entity during the duration.
Claims28
A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining a duration for reference signal measurements of a network entity;
- and
- beamforming a first subset of radio frequency chains of a set of radio frequency chains in one or more directions for the reference signal measurements of the network entity during the duration;
- performing the reference signal measurements of the network entity using the beamformed first subset of radio frequency chains;
- and
- communicating data with a serving entity using a second subset of radio frequency chains of the set of radio frequency chains during the duration.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for determining a duration for reference signal measurements of a network entity;
- and
- means for beamforming a first subset of radio frequency chains of a set of radio frequency chains in one or more directions for the reference signal measurements of the network entity during the duration;
- means for performing the reference signal measurements of the network entity using the beamformed first subset of radio frequency chains;
- and
- means for communicating data with a serving network entity using a second subset of radio frequency chains of the set of radio frequency chains during the duration.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising code to:
- determine a duration for reference signal measurements of a network entity;
- and
- beamform a first subset of radio frequency chains of a set of radio frequency chains in one or more directions for the reference signal measurements of a different network entity during the duration;
- perform the reference signal measurements of the different network entity using the beamformed first subset of radio frequency chains;
- and
- communicate data with the network entity using a second subset of radio frequency chains of the set of radio frequency chains during the duration.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the memory and configured to:
- determine a duration for reference signal measurements of a network entity;
- and
- beamform a first subset of radio frequency chains of a set of radio frequency chains in one or more directions for the reference signal measurements of a different network entity during the duration;
- perform the reference signal measurements of the different network entity using the beamformed first subset of radio frequency chains;
- and
- communicate data with a serving network entity using a second subset of radio frequency chains of the set of radio frequency chains during the duration.
