Feedback of beam switch time capability

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for providing beam switch latency using communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. For example, the method generally includes determining a latency associated with a beam switch from a source antenna array module to a target antenna array module when the target module is in a low power mode; and signaling a base station to use the determined latency after sending a command for the beam switch.
