  • Publication number: 20230269604
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a UE may communicate via a serving beam set of the UE, the serving beam set being one or more of a plurality of beams. The UE may measure another beam set in accordance with a measurement schedule configured to prioritize measurement on one or more adjacent beam sets associated with the serving beam set over one or more non-adjacent beam sets associated with the serving beam set. In some aspects, the one or more adjacent beam sets may be associated with one or more coverage areas that at least partially overlap a coverage area of the serving beam set, are adjacent to the coverage area of the serving beam set, or are associated with a measurement value that satisfies a threshold in the coverage area of the serving beam set. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Publication number: 20230075012
    Abstract: A UE may be configured to select narrower or wider beams that may be suitable for use with a current UE mobility, scattering environment, etc. The UE may track changes to an identified beam of a certain width, and so may recover from tracking or other radio link failures by switching to a beam that is spatially adjacent or to a beam of a different width. The UE may identify a first beam associated with a first beam width based on at least one reference signal received by the UE. The UE may further determine a set of beams based on the first beam width that is associated with the identified first beam, and the determined set of beams may include at least one beam corresponding to the first beam width. The UE may further measure respective channel qualities associated with each beam of the determined set of beams.
