Abstract
Systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media are described herein for beam reporting based on UE grouping. A UE (102) detects reference signals (312a-312n) enabling the UE (102) to assess a measured beam quality of one or more beams emitted by a network entity (104) and generates a request (316) for updating a grouping status of the UE (102) based on a comparison of the measured beam quality and a parameter associated with a UE group that provides, to the network entity (104), a single beam report (320) for UEs pertaining to the UE group. The UE (102) sends, to the network entity (104), the request (316).
Claims20
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- detecting reference signals enabling to assess a measured beam quality of one or more beams emitted by a network entity;
- generating a request for updating a grouping status of the UE based on a comparison of the measured beam quality and a parameter associated with a UE group that provides a single beam report for UEs pertaining to the UE group;
- and
- sending, to the network entity, the request.
A method of wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:
- receiving a measured beam report from a user equipment (UE);
- and
- transmitting control signaling indicating an update of a grouping status of the UE relative to a UE group based on the measured beam report.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, the processor configured to:
- detect reference signals enabling to assess a measured beam quality of one or more beams emitted by a network entity;
- generate a request for updating a grouping status of the UE based on a comparison of the measured beam quality and a parameter associated with a UE group that provides a single beam report for UEs pertaining to the UE group;
- and
- send, to the network entity, the request.
