UE AUTONOMOUS BEAM SELECTION

Abstract:

Wireless communication techniques that include autonomous beam selection performed by a mobile device are discussed. A mobile device may receive a first SSB on a current-serving reception beam and receive other SSBs on different reception beams. The mobile device may autonomously switch beams during communication without instruction from another device. A UE can adjust from one beam to another while performing wireless communication using a current-serving reception beam to performing wireless communication using a second reception beam. A switch can occur upon determining that the quality of wireless communication performed using the second reception beam on which a second SSB was received is higher than the quality of wireless communication performed using the current-serving reception beam on which the first SSB was received. Other features are also described.
