Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for SSB structures for fast UE beam tracking. A UE (102) receives (306), from a network entity (104), a first time-domain portion of an SSB associated with a first beam and a second time-domain portion of the SSB associated with a second beam. The first time-domain portion and the second time-domain portion occur within a same symbol. The UE (102) communicates (310) with the network entity (104) based on an intra-symbol beam sweeping procedure that includes a measurement (308) of the first time-domain portion of the SSB and the second time-domain portion of the SSB.
Claims20
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a network entity, a first time-domain portion of a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a first beam and a second time-domain portion of the SSB associated with a second beam, the first time-domain portion and the second time-domain portion occurring within a same symbol;
- and
- communicating with the network entity based on an intra-symbol beam sweeping procedure that includes a measurement of the first time-domain portion of the SSB and the second time-domain portion of the SSB.
A method of wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:
- transmitting, within a same symbol to a user equipment (UE), a first time-domain portion of a synchronization signal block (SSB) and a second time-domain portion of the SSB, the first time-domain portion associated with a first UE beam and the second time-domain portion associated with a second UE beam;
- and
- receiving, from the UE, at least one of:
- an access request or a beam report based on an intra-symbol beam sweeping procedure for the first UE beam and the second UE beam.
An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, the apparatus being configured to:
- receive, from a network entity, a first time-domain portion of a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a first beam and a second time-domain portion of the SSB associated with a second beam, the first time-domain portion and the second time-domain portion occurring within a same symbol;
- and
- communicate with the network entity based on an intra-symbol beam sweeping procedure that includes a measurement of the first time-domain portion of the SSB and the second time-domain portion of the SSB.
