Device and method for performing handover in massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems

Abstract:

In various aspects, devices and methods for performing a handover in a MIMO system are described herein. According to at least one aspect, a wireless communication device is described to include one or more receivers that measures beams of a neighbor cell in response to a command of a MIMO communication system. In some aspects, the wireless communication device further includes one or more transmitters that reports information of the beams based on the measured beams to the massive MIMO communication system. The information is, in at least one aspect, incorporated in a Beam Specific-Neighbor Cell Relation (BS-NCR).
