  • Patent number: 11617179
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support enhanced methods for indicating random access transmission beams. For example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a set of uplink reference signals to a base station, each uplink reference signal corresponding to a respective uplink beam. The base station may receive the uplink reference signals and may determine signal qualities for the uplink beams. The base station may identify one or more uplink beams for the UE to use in subsequent random access procedures and may transmit control signaling to the UE indicating one or more beams for random access procedure transmissions. The UE may transmit random access messages to the base station using an uplink beam selected based on the control signaling received from the base station.

  • Patent number: 11589382
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for concurrent communications between multiple transmission-reception points (TRPs) and a user equipment (UE). A default beam for each of the TRPs may be determined, and in the case that the default beams are unable to be concurrently received at the UE, a prioritization rule may be applied to determine which TRP uses the initially determined default beam, where the other TRP(s) may use a different beam. A UE also may be configured with a subset of control resource sets for each TRP, such that beams associated with different configured subsets are compatible and able to be concurrently received at the UE. Other techniques for providing compatibility between beams of multiple concurrent TRP transmissions include determination of a first beam, and selection of a second beam based on a mapping to the first beam, or explicit configuration by a base station.

  • Patent number: 11588533
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to beam management techniques in a wireless communication system. A UE establishes a communication link with a base station and receives a set of transmit beams transmitted via a plurality of symbols in a sequential manner, wherein a respective transmit beam is transmitted in a respective symbol of the plurality of symbols. The UE measures, for each transmit beam in the set of transmit beams, a set of signal strengths corresponding to the respective transmit beam using a plurality of receive beams in the respective symbol, wherein a respective signal strength is measured based on a respective receive beam. The UE then sends a feedback message to the base station including at least an identification of a transmit beam having a highest measured signal strength among all sets of signal strengths measured for the set of transmit beams and the highest measured signal strength.
