Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to scheduling, or configuring a node to schedule, a transmission in multiple time periods based on a hopping pattern, where the hopping pattern includes at least one of a beam hopping pattern, a precoder hopping pattern, or a time hopping pattern. The transmission can be transmitted or received in the multiple time periods based on the hopping pattern.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- scheduling multiple transmissions in multiple time periods based on a beam hopping pattern, where the beam hopping pattern includes at least one of:
- at least one transmission of the multiple transmissions is scheduled as including at least one transmission part and across the multiple time periods using a different beam for each of the multiple transmissions;
- or
- at least two transmissions of the multiple transmissions scheduled with a beam switching gap between the at least two transmissions that is less than a symbol in duration;
- and
- transmitting the multiple transmissions in the multiple time periods based on the beam hopping pattern.
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- scheduling a transmission in multiple time periods based on a hopping pattern, wherein the hopping pattern includes at least one of:
- a precoder hopping pattern where the transmission is scheduled as multiple instances of the transmission for transmission across the multiple time periods using a different transmit or receive precoder over one or more transmission ports for each time period of the multiple time periods;
- or
- a time hopping pattern where the transmission is scheduled as multiple instances of the transmission for transmitting across the multiple time periods using different formats for each time period of the multiple time periods;
- and
- transmitting the transmission in the multiple time periods based on the hopping pattern.
A method for wireless communication at a network, comprising:

- or
- at least two transmissions of the multiple transmissions scheduled with a beam switching gap between the at least two transmissions that is less than a symbol in duration;
- and
- receiving the multiple transmissions in the multiple time periods based on the hopping pattern.
