Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may measure a beam, according to a measurement configuration, to determine a channel condition value of the beam, modify the channel condition value based at least in part on at least one of one or more beam characterizations, a derivation of a beamforming gain value, or an estimation of the beamforming gain value, and transmit, to a base station, a measurement report indicating the modified channel condition value. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- establishing a first communication connection using a first radio access technology (RAT);
- measuring a beam of a second RAT, according to a measurement configuration received via the first communication connection, to determine a channel condition value of the beam;
- modifying the channel condition value based at least in part on at least one of one or more beam characterizations, a derivation of a beamforming gain value, or an estimation of the beamforming gain value;
- and
- transmitting, to a network entity, a measurement report indicating the modified channel condition value.
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- establish a first communication connection using a first radio access technology (RAT);
- measure a beam of a second RAT, according to a measurement configuration received via the first communication connection, to determine a channel condition value of the beam;
- modify the channel condition value based at least in part on at least one of one or more beam characterizations, a derivation of a beamforming gain value, or an estimation of the beamforming gain value;
- and
- transmit, to a network entity, a measurement report indicating the modified channel condition value.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- establish a first communication connection using a first radio access technology (RAT);
- measure a beam of a second RAT, according to a measurement configuration received via the first communication connection, to determine a channel condition value of the beam;
- modify the channel condition value based at least in part on at least one of one or more beam characterizations, a derivation of a beamforming gain value, or an estimation of the beamforming gain value;
- and
- transmit, to a network entity, a measurement report indicating the modified channel condition value.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for establishing a first communication connection using a first radio access technology (RAT);
- means for measuring a beam of a second RAT, according to a measurement configuration received via the first communication connection, to determine a channel condition value of the beam;
- means for modifying the channel condition value based at least in part on at least one of one or more beam characterizations, a derivation of a beamforming gain value, or an estimation of the beamforming gain value;
- and
- means for transmitting, to a network entity, a measurement report indicating the modified channel condition value.
