Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, a beam report that indicates that the UE is to switch to a beam for a physical uplink channel. The UE may switch to the beam a specified time offset after one of: transmitting the beam report to the base station, receiving a beam switch response from the base station in response to the beam report, or a scheduled communication on the physical uplink channel. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims35
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- transmit, to a base station, a beam report that indicates that the UE is to switch to a beam for a physical uplink channel;
- and
- switch to the beam a time offset after one of:
- transmitting the beam report to the base station, receiving a beam switch response from the base station in response to the beam report, or a scheduled communication on the physical uplink channel.
A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
- receive, from a user equipment (UE), a beam report that indicates that the UE is to switch to a beam for a physical uplink channel;
- and
- switch a beam configuration, based at least in part on the beam report, a time offset after one of:
- receiving the beam report, transmitting a beam switch response in response to the beam report, or a scheduled communication on the physical uplink channel.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting, to a base station, a beam report that indicates that the UE is to switch to a beam for a physical uplink channel;
- and
- switching to the beam a time offset after one of:
- transmitting the beam report to the base station, receiving a beam switch response from the base station in response to the beam report, or a scheduled communication on the physical uplink channel.
A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a beam report that indicates that the UE is to switch to a beam for a physical uplink channel;
- and
- switching a beam configuration, based at least in part on the beam report, a time offset after one of:
- receiving the beam report, transmitting a beam switch response in response to the beam report, or a scheduled communication on the physical uplink channel.
