Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to concurrently communicating with a base station over multiple frequency bands using a same first beam, and switching, according to beam switching criteria, from the first beam to a second beam during a time period, wherein the time period is based on a timing reference associated with a reference band.
Claims20
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory and the transceiver, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
- concurrently communicate with a base station over multiple frequency bands using a same first beam;
- and
- switch, according to beam switching criteria, from the first beam to a second beam during a time period, wherein the time period is based on a timing reference associated with a reference band.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- concurrently communicating with a base station over multiple frequency bands using a same first beam;
- and
- switching, according to beam switching criteria, from the first beam to a second beam during a time period, wherein the time period is based on a timing reference associated with a reference band.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code executable by one or more processors for wireless communication, the code comprising code for:
- concurrently communicating with a base station over multiple frequency bands using a same first beam;
- and
- switching, according to beam switching criteria, from the first beam to a second beam during a time period, wherein the time period is based on a timing reference associated with a reference band.
