BEAM SWITCHING OPERATION FOR SYSTEMS WITH HIGH SUBCARRIER SPACING

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device such as a user equipment (UE) or a base station may identify a beam switching capability of the UE, the beam switching capability indicating a threshold quantity of beam switches during a transmission time interval, a threshold quantity of symbol periods between beam switching operations, or a combination thereof. The device may determine that the beam switching capability of the UE is satisfied based at least in part on one or more parameters (e.g., one or more symbol period durations, one or more quantities of beam switches during a transmission time interval, one or more adjustment parameters, one or more threshold values associated with the capability of the UE, etc.). The device may perform one or more beam switching operations based on determining that the beam switching capability is satisfied.
