Abstract
A first apparatus may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), on a control channel, one or more indications of one or more beam indexes corresponding to one or more beams. The first apparatus may transmit, to the UE, one or more reference signals through the one or more beams corresponding to the one or more beam indexes. The reference signals may be used by the UE to select a best subarray and/or receive combiner for communication with the first apparatus.
Claims28
A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) on a control channel, one or more indications of one or more beam indexes corresponding to one or more beams;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, one or more reference signals through the one or more beams corresponding to the one or more beam indexes.
A base station comprising:
- means for transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) on a control channel, one or more indications of one or more beam indexes corresponding to one or more beams;
- and
- means for transmitting, to the UE, one or more reference signals through the one or more beams corresponding to the one or more beam indexes.
A base station comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- transmit, to a user equipment (UE) on a control channel, one or more indications of one or more beam indexes corresponding to one or more beams;
- and
- transmit, to the UE, one or more reference signals through the one or more beams corresponding to the one or more beam indexes.
A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for wireless communication by a base station, comprising code to:
- transmit, to a user equipment (UE) on a control channel, one or more indications of one or more beam indexes corresponding to one or more beams;
- and
- transmit, to the UE, one or more reference signals through the one or more beams corresponding to the one or more beam indexes.
