Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE). The UE may transmit signaling indicating capability information corresponding to one or more antenna arrays of the UE. The capability information may include a number of the one or more antenna arrays, a number of antennas in each antenna array, and/or a geometric shape of each antenna array. The UE may then receive an indication of a modified performance objective for beamforming. The modified performance objective is based on the capability information and is different from a standard performance objective for the beamforming.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more memories comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured, individually or in any combination, to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- transmit signaling indicating capability information to a network entity, wherein the capability information comprises at least antenna information corresponding to one or more antenna arrays of the UE;
- and
- receive an indication from the network entity of a dynamically modified performance objective for beamforming that is different from a standard performance objective, wherein the standard performance objective indicates a first number of reference signals (RSs) required to achieve preferred performances at different percentile levels of a sphere around the UE, wherein the dynamically modified performance objective specifies a second number of RSs determined based on the antenna information that are required to achieve the preferred performances at the different percentile levels of the sphere, and wherein different number of RSs are required to achieve the preferred performances at the different percentile levels of the sphere in accordance with the dynamically modified performance objective.
