Abstract
The first circuitry may be operable to establish a first UE Receive (Rx) beam as being for reception of data from a first eNB. The second circuitry may be operable to process a transmission including Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI carries an eNB cell-switching indicator. The first circuitry may also be operable to establish a second UE Rx beam as being for reception of data from a second eNB based on the eNB cell-switching indicator.
Claims24
An apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with a plurality of Evolved Node-Bs (eNBs) on a wireless network, comprising:
- one or more processors to:
- establish a first UE Receive (Rx) beam as being for reception of data from a first eNB;
- process a transmission including Downlink Control Information (DCI) wherein the DCI carries an eNB cell-switching indicator;
- and
- establish a second UE Rx beam as being for reception of data from a second eNB based on the eNB cell-switching indicator, and an interface for receiving the transmission from a receiving circuitry.
Machine readable storage media having machine executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an Evolved Node-B (eNB) on a wireless network to perform an operation comprising:
- establish a first UE Receive (Rx) beam as being for reception of data from a first eNB;
- process a transmission including Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI carries an eNB cell-switching indicator;
- and
- establish a second UE Rx beam as being for reception of data from a second eNB based on the eNB cell-switching indicator.
An apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with a plurality of Evolved Node-Bs (eNBs) on a wireless network, comprising:
- one or more processors to:
- process a first transmission received through a first UE Receive (Rx) beam at a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol position;
- process a second transmission received through a second UE Rx beam at a second OFDM symbol position;
- establish the first UE Rx beam as being for reception of data following the first transmission based upon determining that the first transmission includes Downlink Control Information (DCI);
- and
- establish the second UE Rx beam as being for reception of data following the second transmission based upon determining that the second transmission includes DCI, and an interface for receiving the first transmission and the second transmission from a receiving circuitry.
