Beam management using adaptive learning

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for beam management using adaptive learning. Certain aspects provide a method that can be performed by a node, such as user equipment (UE) or a base station (BS). The node determines one or more beams to utilize for a beam management procedure using adaptive learning. The node performs the beam management procedure using the determined one or more beams. In some aspects, the node uses an adaptive reinforcement learning algorithm to select beams for measurement in beam discovery procedure. The node may adaptive the beam management algorithm based on feedback associated with the beam selection, such as based on a throughput achieved using a beam pairing determined during the beam management procedure.
