Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to activating, by a user equipment (UE), or causing activation of, by a base station, one or more antenna panels at the UE. An action time for activating or deactivating the one or more antenna panels may also be used to allow processing time related to activation or deactivation of the antenna panels.
Claims31
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- transmit, to a network node, according to an event triggered at the apparatus, an indication that the apparatus is to activate or deactivate at least one of a plurality of antenna panels, the event being associated with a change in panel status of the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels;
- and
- activate or deactivate the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels according to an action time at which the apparatus is to activate or deactivate the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels.
4 more elements
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting, to a network node, according to an event triggered at the UE, an indication that the UE is to activate or deactivate at least one of a plurality of antenna panels, the event being associated with a change in panel status of the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels;
- and
- activating or deactivating the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels according to an action time at which the UE is to activate or deactivate the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- receive, from a user equipment (UE), according to an event triggered at the UE, an indication that the UE is to activate or deactivate at least one of a plurality of antenna panels at the UE, the event being associated with a change in panel status of the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels;
- and
- communicating, according to an action time at which the UE is to activate or deactivate the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels, with the UE having activated or deactivated the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels.
4 more elements
A method for wireless communication by a network node, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), according to an event triggered at the UE, an indication that the UE is to activate or deactivate at least one of a plurality of antenna panels at the UE, the event being associated with a change in panel status of the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels;
- and
- communicating, according to an action time at which the UE is to activate or deactivate the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels, with the UE having activated or deactivated the at least one of the plurality of antenna panels.
