  • Mechanism for Beam Reciprocity Determination and Uplink Beam Management
    Publication number: 20180227772
    Abstract: A method of beam reciprocity state reporting and uplink beam management in wireless communication systems with beamforming is proposed. In one novel aspect, a UE determines its UE beam reciprocity state and sends a “UE beam reciprocity state” message to a BS, which triggers proper uplink beam management accordingly. The UE beam reciprocity state message can take place when UE tries to register to the network. For example, according to factory setting, UE reports at least “Positive” or “Negative” in this message. Beam reciprocity state can be updated by a “UE beam reciprocity state update” message. An auxiliary information can be transmitted to the BS for UL beam management if UE reports “Negative” for beam reciprocity state. The auxiliary information indicates the uncertainty level of UE beams.

    Abstract: A method of beam failure recovery for multi-beam operation in wireless communication systems with beamforming is proposed. Specifically, a four-step beam failure recovery procedure is proposed. In a first step of beam failure detection, UE detects a beam failure condition of the original serving beam pair link. In a second step of new candidate beam identification, UE performs measurements for candidate beam selection. In a third step of beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) transmission, UE transmits a BFRQ message to BS upon the triggering condition for BFRQ transmission is satisfied. In a fourth step of monitoring BS response, UE monitors BS response to decide the success or failure of the beam failure recovery.
