Abstract
According to an example embodiment, a method may include determining, by a base station, a past beam sequence for a user equipment (UE), determining, by the base station based on the past beam sequence for the user equipment and a beam sequence model, a predicted future beam sequence for the user equipment, wherein the predicted future beam sequence indicates a predicted sequence of beams over time for communication between the user equipment and the base station, and performing, by the base station, a beam-related action based on the predicted future beam sequence for the user equipment.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- determine, by a base station, a past beam sequence for a user equipment (UE);
- determine, by the base station based on the past beam sequence for the user equipment and a beam sequence model, a predicted future beam sequence for the user equipment, wherein the predicted future beam sequence indicates a predicted sequence of beams over time for downlink transmission to the user equipment;
- and
- perform, by the base station, a beam-related action based on the predicted future beam sequence for the user equipment.
