Antenna beam management assisted by spatial and temporal measurements of wireless terminal

A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by an application processor, cause the application processor to:

• obtain spatial and temporal measurements of a mobile terminal connected to a base station of a wireless communication network;
• obtain geolocation information of the base station;
• determine a future antenna phase relative to a past antenna phase for an antenna of the mobile terminal,
• wherein the future antenna phase is based on the spatial and temporal measurements of the mobile terminal and the geolocation information of the base station;
• obtain a phase compensation value based on a difference between the future antenna phase and the past antenna phase;
• and
• cause the mobile terminal to configure one or more antenna elements of the antenna to form an antenna beam in accordance with the phase compensation value.

A beam management system comprising:

• an inertial measurement unit (IMU) including an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or a magnetometer of a mobile terminal,
• wherein the mobile terminal is connected to a base station of a wireless communication system;
• a geolocation and time unit (GTU) including a global positioning system (GPS) sensor configured to receive signals transmitted by navigation satellites;
• a database configured to store geolocation information of the base station;
• an application processor;
• and
• a memory containing instructions that, when executed by the application processor, cause the system to:
• determine a phase compensation value for the mobile terminal based the geolocation information of the base station and spatial and temporal information of the mobile terminal,
• wherein the spatial and temporal information is based on output of the IMU and GTU;
• and
• cause an antenna of the mobile terminal to form an antenna beam in accordance with the phase compensation value.
