Retransmission schemes for user equipment-initiated and event-driven beam reporting

Abstract

A system and a method are disclosed for beam reporting. The system can include a user equipment (UE) comprising a radio and a processing circuit, and configured to: perform a UE-initiated beam reporting procedure comprising: transmitting, via the radio, a beam reporting indication message in a first channel to initiate beam reporting; and transmitting, via the radio, a beam report in a second channel; infer a communication failure of the UE-initiated beam reporting procedure; and in response to inferring the communication failure of the UE-initiated beam reporting procedure, retransmit at least one of the beam reporting indication message in the first channel or the beam report in the second channel.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
