Abstract
Method and apparatus for a beam panic design. The apparatus measures at least one subset of beams of a set of beams received from a network entity. The apparatus monitors for a change within a subset of the measured beams having a highest signal quality. The apparatus measures a rate of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality, in response to detection of an occurrence of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality. The apparatus initiates a beam panic mode based on at least the rate of change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality is less than a first threshold
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the at least one memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
- measure at least one subset of beams of a set of beams received from a network entity
- monitor for a change within a subset of the measured beams having a highest signal quality;
- measure a rate of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality, in response to detection of an occurrence of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality;
- and
- initiate a beam panic mode based on at least the rate of change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality is less than a first threshold.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for measuring at least one subset of beams of a set of beams received from a network entity;
- means for monitoring for a change within a subset of the measured beams having a highest signal quality;
- means for measuring a rate of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality, in response to detection of an occurrence of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality;

- means for initiating a beam panic mode based on at least the rate of change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality is less than a first threshold.
A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code at a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by a processor causes the processor to:
- measure at least one subset of beams of a set of beams received from a network entity;
- monitor for a change within a subset of the measured beams having a highest signal quality;
- measure a rate of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality, in response to detection of an occurrence of the change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality;
- and
- initiate a beam panic mode based on at least the rate of change of the subset of the measured beams having the highest signal quality is less than a first threshold.
