Method, apparatus, and system for environment aware MIMO for high frequency

A method applied in a user equipment (UE) side, the method comprising:

• receiving configuration information comprising an association of a location of a UE in a geographical area and channel information pertaining to a channel between a base station serving the geographical area and the UE, wherein at least a portion of the geographical area is partitioned into a first grid comprising a plurality of first grid elements;
• receiving reference signals on one or more propagation paths, wherein the location of the UE is within a second grid of the geographical area, the second grid comprising a plurality of second grid elements;
• performing measurement of the reference signals;
• and
• transmitting feedback information based on the measurement of the reference signals.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a computer readable medium, having stored thereon, computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations including:
• transmitting configuration information comprising an association of a location of a user equipment (UE) in a geographical area and channel information pertaining to a channel between a base station serving the geographical area and the UE, wherein at least a portion of the geographical area is partitioned into a first grid comprising a plurality of first grid elements;
• transmitting reference signals in a direction of the location of the UE on one or more propagation paths, wherein the location of the UE is within a second grid of the geographical area, the second grid comprising a plurality of second grid elements;
• and
• receiving feedback information based on measurement of the reference signals.
