Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for beam management between two or more user equipment (UEs). In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and techniques for performing various beam management procedures (e.g., P1, P2, and P3 procedures) on a sidelink communication between two or more UEs.
Claims34
A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- selecting a first beam for transmission of a first signal used for beam management for a sidelink between the first UE and a second UE;
- transmitting the first signal in a first plurality of transmissions, wherein each of the first plurality of transmissions is transmitted via the first beam according to a first periodic interval, and wherein the first signal is configured to provide the second UE with a basis for selecting a second beam for receiving data on the sidelink;
- receiving, from the second UE, a second signal transmitted in a second plurality of transmissions according to a second periodic interval, wherein the second signal is configured to provide the first UE with a basis for selecting a third beam for receiving data on the sidelink;
- and
- selecting the third beam for reception of data on the sidelink, wherein the selection is based on the received second signal.
A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising transmitting a message configured to initiate a beam sweeping operation for beam management of a sidelink between the first UE and a second UE.
A method of wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE), comprising transmitting a message configured to initiate a receive-beam refining operation for beam management of a sidelink between the first UE and a second UE.
