Frequency and state dependent user equipment beam patterns

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, and configured to:
• transmit, with the at least one transceiver, array gain information to a network entity, the array gain information including beam pattern information based at least in part on a sub-band and a state of the apparatus, wherein the state of the apparatus is based at least in part on a proximity of a user to the apparatus, or a peripheral device that is operably coupled to the apparatus, or a combination thereof;
• receive, with the at least one transceiver, one or more reference signals in one or more sub-bands, wherein a receive beam for each of the one or more reference signals is based at least in part on the sub-band the one or more reference signals are being received in, and on a current state of the apparatus;
• determine measurement values based on the one or more reference signals;
• and
• determine a location based at least in part on the measurement values.

An apparatus for determining a location of a mobile device, comprising:

• means for transmitting array gain information to a network entity, the array gain information including beam pattern information based at least in part on a sub-band and a state of the mobile device;
• means for receiving one or more reference signals in one or more sub-bands, wherein a receive beam for each of the one or more reference signals is based at least in part on the sub-band the one or more reference signals are being received in, and on a current state of the mobile device;
• means for determining measurement values based on the one or more reference signals;
• and
• means for determining the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement values, wherein the state of the mobile device is based at least in part on proximity of a user to the mobile device, or a peripheral device that is operably coupled to the mobile device, or a combination thereof.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to determine a location of a mobile device, comprising:

• code for transmitting array gain information to a network entity, the array gain information including beam pattern information based at least in part on a sub-band and a state of the mobile device;
• code for receiving one or more reference signals in one or more sub-bands, wherein a receive beam for each of the one or more reference signals is based at least in part on the sub-band the one or more reference signals are being received in, and on a current state of the mobile device;
• code for determining measurement values based on the one or more reference signals;
• and
• code for determining the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement values, wherein the state of the mobile device is based at least in part on proximity of a user to the mobile device, or a peripheral device that is operably coupled to the mobile device, or a combination thereof.

A method for determining a location of a mobile device, comprising:

• receiving one or more reference signals in one or more sub-bands, wherein a receive beam for each of the one or more reference signals is based at least in part on the sub-band the one or more reference signals are being received in, and on a current state of the mobile device;
• determining measurement values based on the one or more reference signals;
• and
• determining the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement values.
