Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to configuring, at a device, default beam information for determining a beam for data channel communications. The device can determine to use the default beam information for configuring the beam for a data channel communication based on determining explicit beam information is not configured. In addition, the device can transmit, based on determining to use the default beam information, the data channel communication based on the beam configured using the default beam information.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- configuring, at a user equipment (UE), default beam information for a beam for data channel communications;
- using the default beam information for configuring the beam for a data channel communication where explicit beam information is not configured or indicated for a data channel communication;
- and
- transmitting the data channel communication based on the beam configured using the default beam information.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- configure default beam information for a beam for data channel communications;
- use the default beam information for configuring the beam for a data channel communication where explicit beam information is not configured or indicated for a data channel communication;
- and
- transmit the data channel communication based on the beam configured using the default beam information.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for configuring default beam information for a beam for data channel communications;
- means for using the default beam information for configuring the beam for a data channel communication where explicit beam information is not configured or indicated for a data channel communication;
- and
- means for transmitting the data channel communication based on the beam configured using the default beam information.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising code executable by one or more processors for wireless communications, the code comprising code for:
- configuring default beam information for a beam for data channel communications;
- using the default beam information for configuring the beam for a data channel communication where explicit beam information is not configured or indicated for a data channel communication;
- and
- transmitting the data channel communication based on the beam configured using the default beam information.
