Efficient Beam Pattern Feedback in Millimeter Wave Positioning Systems

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein provide efficient beam pattern feedback from a user equipment (UE) to a receiving device to help reduce overhead of providing beam pattern information for position determination while maintaining high position determination accuracy. Embodiments include providing beam weights and template elemental game patterns, an elemental gain formula and parameters, and/or template beam patterns with boresight to a remote device, enabling the remote device to determine beam shape.
