US 2019/0245606 A1 · APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELECTING BEAM IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for wireless communication. The method may include: measuring beam pairs using signals transmitted from another apparatus using a plurality of carriers; determining a beam pair for the plurality of carriers based on measurement values for the beam pairs; and transmitting information indicating a transmit beam of the beam pair, to the other apparatus.

A method for operating a first device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

measuring beam pairs using signals transmitted from a second device using a plurality of carriers;
determining a beam pair for the plurality of carriers based on measurement values for the beam pairs;
and
transmitting, to the second device, information indicating a transmit beam of the determined beam pair,
wherein the measurement values comprise measurement values for a primary carrier and measurement values for at least one secondary carrier.
