SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING BEAM-SWITCHING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication by base station. The method generally includes transmitting, to a user-equipment (UE), a packet indicating a beam switch associated with communication with the UE, receiving an acknowledgment (ACK) message, detecting that the ACK message is configured to indicate whether parsing of contents of the packet was successful, determining a timing of the beam switch based on the detection, and performing the beam switch in accordance with the determination of the timing.
