Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reporting information regarding receive (Rx) beams used by a user equipment. In some cases, such reporting may indicate a change in Rx beams to be used by the UE for subsequent beamformed transmissions.
Claims28
A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining a change in a receive beam based on measurement of a reference signal (RS) transmitted via a transmit beam from a base station;
- and
- transmitting, to the base station, an indication of the change in the receive beam of the UE for subsequent beamformed transmissions from the base station and, including in a measurement report along with the indication, information about the receive beam of the UE used to measure the transmit beam.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for determining a change in a receive beam based on measurement of a reference signal (RS) transmitted via a transmit beam from a base station;
- and
- means for transmitting, to the base station, an indication of the change in the receive beam of the UE for subsequent beamformed transmissions from the base station and, including in a measurement report along with the indication, information about the receive beam of the UE used to measure the transmit beam.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one processor configured to determine a change in a receive beam based on measurement of a reference signal (RS) transmitted via a transmit beam from a base station;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit, to the base station, an indication of the change in the receive beam of the UE for subsequent beamformed transmissions from the base station and, including in a measurement report along with the indication, information about the receive beam of the UE used to measure the transmit beam.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processor of a user equipment (UE), causing the UE to perform a method comprising:
- determining a change in a receive beam based on measurement of a reference signal (RS) transmitted via a transmit beam from a base station;
- and transmitting, to the base station, an indication of the change in the receive beam for subsequent beamformed transmissions from the base station and, including in a measurement report along with the indication, information about the receive beam of the UE used to measure the transmit beam.
