Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine to switch from monitoring for a first reference signal to monitoring for a second reference signal, and monitor for the second reference signal. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims38
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:
- transmit a request to switch from configuring the UE with a first reference signal to configuring the UE with a second reference signal, wherein the second reference signal is associated with one or more of a more focused beam or a higher beamforming gain than the first reference signal, wherein the first reference signal is a synchronization signal block, and wherein the second reference signal is a channel state information reference signal;
- receive a configuration to switch from monitoring for the first reference signal to monitoring for the second reference signal;
- and
- monitor for the second reference signal based at least in part on the configuration.
4 more elements
A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive a request to switch from configuring with a first reference signal to configuring with a second reference signal, wherein the second reference signal is associated with one or more of a more focused beam or a higher beamforming gain than the first reference signal, wherein the first reference signal is a synchronization signal block, and wherein the second reference signal is a channel state information reference signal;
- and
- transmit a configuration to switch from monitoring the first reference signal to monitoring the second reference signal.
3 more elements
A method of wireless communication performed at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting a request to switch from configuring the UE with a first reference signal to configuring the UE with a second reference signal, wherein the second reference signal is associated with one or more of a more focused beam or a higher beamforming gain than the first reference signal, wherein the first reference signal is a synchronization signal block, and wherein the second reference signal is a channel state information reference signal;
- receiving a configuration to switch from monitoring for the first reference signal to monitoring for the second reference signal;
- and
- monitoring for the second reference signal based at least in part on receiving the configuration.
1 more element
A method of wireless communication performed at a network entity, comprising:
- receiving a request to switch from configuring with a first reference signal to configuring with a second reference signal, wherein the second reference signal is associated with one or more of a more focused beam or a higher beamforming gain than the first reference signal, wherein the first reference signal is a synchronization signal block, and wherein the second reference signal is a channel state information reference signal;
- and
- transmitting a configuration to switch from monitoring for the first reference signal to monitoring for the second reference signal.
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:
- transmit a request to switch from configuring the UE with a first reference signal to configuring the UE with a second reference signal, wherein the second reference signal is associated with one or more of a more focused beam or a higher beamforming gain than the first reference signal, wherein the first reference signal is a synchronization signal block, and wherein the second reference signal is a channel state information reference signal;
- receive a configuration to switch from monitoring for the first reference signal to monitoring for the second reference signal;
- and
- monitor for the second reference signal based at least in part on the configuration.
