Abstract
In some embodiments, a wireless communication method includes receiving, by a wireless communication device from a wireless communication node, a plurality of common signals. The wireless communication node provides a plurality of cell beams. The wireless communication method includes determining, by the wireless communication device, based on respective reception occasions of one or more of the plurality of common signals, an index of one of a plurality of cell beams that the wireless communication device selects.
Claims20
A wireless communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless communication device from a wireless communication node, a plurality of common signals, wherein the wireless communication node provides a plurality of cell beams, the plurality of common signals including a primary synchronization signal and/or a secondary synchronization signal, wherein the wireless communication device receives respective common signals of each cell beam, of the plurality of common signals for the plurality of cell beams, in respective system frame numbers of a plurality of system frame numbers, each cell beam mapped to a respective system frame number of the plurality of system frame numbers;
- selecting, by the wireless communication device, based on respective reception occasions corresponding to a number of receptions of one or more of the plurality of common signals, a cell beam of the plurality of cell beams, the cell beam selected based on a respective radio signal metric among received common signals;
- and
- determining, by the wireless communication device, an index of the cell beam selected by the wireless communication device, based on the respective system frame numbers in which the common signals are received.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, via a receiver from a wireless communication node, a plurality of common signals, wherein the wireless communication node provides a plurality of cell beams, the plurality of common signals including a primary synchronization signal and/or a secondary synchronization signal, wherein the wireless communication device receives respective common signals of each cell beam, of the plurality of common signals for the plurality of cell beams, in respective system frame numbers of a plurality of system frame numbers, each cell beam mapped to a respective system frame number of the plurality of system frame numbers;
- and
- determine, based on respective reception occasions of one or more of the plurality of common signals, an index of one of a plurality of cell beams that the wireless communication device selects, wherein the wireless communication device selects, based on respective reception occasions corresponding to a number of receptions of one or more of the plurality of common signals, a cell beam of the plurality of cell beams, the cell beam selected based on a respective radio signal metric among received common signals, and determines, based on the respective reception occasions of one or more of the plurality of common signals, an index of one of a plurality of cell beams that the wireless communication device selects, wherein the index is based on the respective system frame numbers in which the common signals are received.
