Patent number: 10694477Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein relating to beam-switching in a wireless system. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a User Equipment device (UE) that transmits and/or receives to and/or from a source Antenna Node (AN) on a source beam comprises performing a Mobility Reference Signal (MRS) search to attempt to detect MRS transmitted by one or more candidate ANs for one or more candidate beam. The method further comprises, if one or more conditions that are indicative of the MRS search being unsuccessful are met, transmitting an indication that the MRS search was unsuccessful. In this manner, one or more network nodes are informed that an action(s) (e.g., assisted beam-formed MRS transmission and/or increasing MRS transmit power at candidate AN(s)) needs to be taken to enable a successful MRS search by the UE.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Rasmus Axén, Pradeepa Ramachandra, Osman Nuri Can Yilmaz
