Abstract
A method for a wireless communications system is disclosed. In one example, a user equipment (UE) (e.g. a mobile phone), receives an indication from a network about one or more UE beams that the UE can use for transmission or reception. The UE uses the one or more UE beams for transmission or reception. If and when a certain condition is fulfilled, for example, there is a beam tracking failure, the UE transmits or receives a specific signal via a specific UE beam. The specific UE beam is different from the one or more UE beams that were indicated by the network, and is selected by the UE.
Claims20
A method for a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving an indication from a network about at least one UE beam to be used for transmission or reception;
- using the at least one UE beam for transmission or reception;
- and
- transmitting or receiving a specific signal using a specific UE beam if a condition is fulfilled;
- wherein,
- the specific UE beam is different from the at least one UE beam;
- and
- the specific UE beam is selected by the UE.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- and
- a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an indication from a network about at least one UE beam to be used for transmission or reception;
- using the at least one UE beam for transmission or reception;
- and
- transmitting or receiving a specific signal using a specific UE beam if a condition is fulfilled;
- wherein,
- the specific UE beam is different from the at least one UE beam;
- and
- the specific UE beam is selected by the UE.
