Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communications that involve a quasi-omni beam and a directional beam, where the wireless communications involve radio frequency signals having relatively high frequency (e.g., a frequency above 20 GHz). In embodiments, a quasi-omni beam is wirelessly transmitted, a directional beam is selected based on the quasi-omni beam, and a data transmission is received over the selected directional beam.
Claims20
A wireless communication device comprising:
- at least one antenna;
- and
- a processor in communication with the at least antenna, wherein the processor is configured to cause the wireless communication device to:
- wirelessly transmit a quasi-omni beam to a network node in a first mode;
- and
- wirelessly transmit a directional beam to the network node in a second mode, wherein the quasi-omni beam and the directional beam are each associated with a radio frequency signal having a frequency of at least 20 gigahertz.
3 more elements
A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless communication device, a quasi-omni beam wirelessly transmitted by a network node, wherein the wireless communication device and the network node wirelessly communicate with a radio frequency signal having a frequency of at least 20 gigahertz;
- selecting a directional receive beam for the wireless communication device based on the quasi-omni beam wirelessly transmitted by the network node;
- and
- receiving, by the wireless communication device, data from the network node over the selected directional receive beam.
1 more element
A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first node, a quasi-omni beam wirelessly transmitted by a second node in a training mode, wherein the first node and the second node wirelessly communicate with a radio frequency signal having a frequency of at least 20 gigahertz;
- configuring the first node to receive a directional receive beam from the second node, wherein the directional receive beam is selected based on the quasi-omni beam wirelessly transmitted by the second node in the training mode;
- and
- receiving, by the first node, data from the second node over the directional receive beam in a data transmission mode.
