Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to transmission scheme management for common channels in new radio (NR). A method for wireless communications that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes receiving an indication from a base station (BS) of a type of beam management scheme used by the BS for at least one of: a current transmission or one or more subsequent transmissions; and decoding the at least one of: the current transmission or the one or more subsequent transmissions from the BS in accordance with the indication.
Claims20
A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving an indication from a base station (BS) of a beam repetition mode used by the BS for one or more reference signals, wherein the beam repetition mode indicates whether the BS is switching to a different beam or repeating a beam used for a previous transmission for at least a current transmission or one or more subsequent transmissions;
- and
- processing the one or more reference signals from the BS in accordance with the indication.
A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS), comprising:
- signaling an indication to a user equipment (UE) of a beam repetition mode used by the BS for one or more reference signals, wherein the beam repetition mode indicates whether the BS is switching to a different beam or repeating a beam used for a previous transmission for at least a current transmission or one or more subsequent transmissions;
- and
- sending the one or more references signals to the UE in accordance with the indication.
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- means for receiving an indication from a base station (BS) of a beam repetition mode used by the BS for one or more reference signals, wherein the beam repetition mode indicates whether the BS is switching to a different beam or repeating a beam used for a previous transmission for at least a current transmission or one or more subsequent transmissions;
- and
- means for processing the one or more reference signals from the BS in accordance with the indication.
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- means for signaling an indication to a user equipment (UE) of a beam repetition mode used by the apparatus for one or more reference signals, wherein the beam repetition mode indicates whether the BS is switching to a different beam or repeating a beam used for a previous transmission for at least a current transmission or one or more subsequent transmissions;
- and
- means for sending the one or more references signals to the UE in accordance with the indication.
